Awwww A Brand New Ending was all kinds of sweet. I am a big fan of second chance romances, and I just flipping adored Ophelia and Kyle's second chance.
I need to go stay at the Robin's Nest B & B pronto. Very homely and sweet and did I mention that that were cookies?
Ophelia and Kyle's story is one that had all the emotions. Hate, lust, hurt and most of all love.
I wanted to shake some sense into Ophelia at times for not listening to Kyle as he was trying to talk to her about what happened in the past. I could understand why she was all "nope, not gonna happen" however I also needed her to listen.
Kyle is all kinds of lovely. I loved that through the story he was telling in the story, he saw things in a different light.
I enjoy a story that is family based, and Ophelia's family are a lot of fun. I am particularly a fan of a character named Hei Hei - if you have read the first book (or watched Moana at any time) you will get what I love about him.
I enjoyed our lovelies story from the beginning, and adored seeing their story from childhood to present.
It was wonderful to see more of Mia and Ethan from the first Stay book, and I am looking forward to meeting the man (or woman) that will bring Ophelia' sister Harper to her knees.
Please don't make me wait too long.

TWIN 1: If I am being completely honest, I am a little disappointed in the ending of this book. I think it was too blunt of an ending. Overall, it was a good read and not your classic love story by any means. I would definitely be willing to read another book by Hannah Orenstein.

TWIN 2: I love this series! After reading the first book, I thought there was no way this book could be better... but it was! Ophelia and Kyle are so cute! Watching them navigate through their love was so enjoyable! Highly recommend reading this book!

This is a fantastic second chance romance and I loved ophelia and travis' characters. This story kept me entrapped right from the start.
Highly recommend

Kyle Kimpton is coming home after becoming a successful screenwriter in Hollywood. But not everyone in his home town is ready to welcome him with open arms. In fact, there at least one person who is decidedly UNhappy to see him. His former flame Ophelia. Not just his former flame but the woman who had gone to Hollywood with him to make it big. The same woman who left him without a word. And now she's refusing to let him stay at her B&B. But that's where Kyle needs to be, it's the place he can face his past.
Ophelia remembers a different past than Kyle. In her memory, she fought as hard as she could to make him understand her. She tried so many times to make him listen. But he left her. And now he's back, trying to act as though everything has changed. But has it?
I wish there had been a little longer ending but overall a very nice story.

This is the story of Ophelia and Kyle who were young and in love, who left their small town to pursue their dreams in California. She wanted to sing and he wanted to write. As we know, young love is hard enough, but when pursuing dreams that can bring a whole other set of issues. Kyle, turned out to be an instant success, while Ophelia was left with feelings of loneliness and disappointment.
Fast forward ten years and what do you do when the love of your life, who you left behind in California, turns up at your front door? Kyle's made the life he dreamed of for himself in California. Ophelia's back in the same small town she left all of those years ago, running her mother's Inn.
Kyle returns to the Inn to work through some writers block issues and hoping to change the ending of their story. Does she let him come back into her life? Does he deal with issues he left behind when he went to California?
This is a story about love, second chances, family and healing. I really loved this book. It's got romance, it's got a good story. Even though I didn't read the first book before reading this one, I felt like I was easily able to understand what happened in the past between them. If you love romance, you will enjoy this book!

Alright romance fans, do you like plot lines that follow different family members or different friends from the same group in different books? That’s my favourite. I just love following the same group of people through different stories and perspectives. I guess it feels more real to me? The Start of Something and A Brand New Ending follow the same core family members and I just love it!
Hei Hei the rooster is back! I just love that they have a pet rooster in this book series, it makes me laugh. Such a quirky addition. Along with Hei Hei the couple from book 1 is around and they are such a cute addition to us following Ophelia and her romance. Ophelia runs a cute little inn and I just love her life. It seems so soothing and calming, really like the tone of these books.
I think I liked these characters more than the ones from the first book. I connected with them a bit more. I recommend these if you’re looking for some relaxing reads with romance in them.
