Running Back to You by Bethany Monaco Smith

emotional

5.0

"From the moment I met you, I felt a connection to you I couldn't understand."

Whenever I read Bethany Monaco Smith's work, it is always an emotional rollercoaster ride!

I'm a sucker for found/chosen family. And Bethany writes found/chosen family so well! It proves that blood does not make a family. Family can be anyone you choose.

Please check for triggers. As much as we don't want it to, the past shapes you into who you are. This statement holds for Sam and Stephanie "Steph." As much as I was frustrated with Steph and Sam, I could connect with them and understand their choices even when I may not have agreed.

After seeing Sam and Steph in the other books in the Ida Romance series, I wanted to know more. Especially the scene when they're in Vegas and decide to get married! That was the opening scene of Running Back to You, and it didn't disappoint!

The title, Running Back to You, hints that it'd be a second-chance romance. The running back and forth was no joke! It gave me whiplash at times, but I enjoyed it overall. Considering all the tears that fell as I read was a testament to that.

I can't wait to read more from the Ida Romance series and, in general, Bethany.
