challenging emotional hopeful sad

4.0

Before I Loved You by Ashely Elizabeth is a captivating love story and read. Before I Loved You is book one in the Before series and if this book can captivate me from page 1, I can only imaging how the other 2 books will have me. If you like books about accidental pregnancies, college basketball, college romance, artists, opposites attract, found family, spicy, with a HEA ending then you will love this book. 

Reeling from a traumatic night, Sarah wanting to forget decides to go to a bar where she meets Paul. They hit it off instantly,  have a one night stand, and part ways that night without knowing the other’s name.  Fast forward a few weeks later Sarah learns she is pregnant and she decides she needs to figure out the man’s name. When they find each other their attraction is just as strong as it was that night,  they date, fall for each other, and his family adores her too. She is afraid to tell him she’s pregnant and the farther they go the harder it is for her. The traumatic event that happened to her one night keeps coming back threatening to ruin her…Will he ruin what shes worked so hard for? Sorry can’t tell you bc that will ruin the book and I want you to read this one.  

Ashley does such a great job of intertwining the characters' past/present, unconditional love, heart breaking loss, and redemption.

This story is beautifully written and will capture your heart from the beginning. I enjoyed this I didn’t want to put it down. I was given this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions.
