YOU LOVED ME ONCE by Corinne Michaels

 

I'm losing myself trying to save everyone else...

 

You Loved Me Once by Corinne Michaels is now live!

 

From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a heartbreakingly beautiful standalone story about letting love in.

I'm losing myself trying to save everyone else...

As a doctor, I walk a dangerously delicate balance of being compassionate but not overly invested. The same is true in my personal life--love is a luxury I can't afford.

It isn't until Dr. Westin Grant breaks down all my walls and offers me a future, I find myself wondering if I'm brave enough to risk my heart.

When who I was and who I've tried to become collide during my clinical trial, the fate of one patient changes everything.

In a single moment, everything I've worked for is jeopardized. My integrity, my career, and even my relationship with Westin.

He loved me once, I just hope he can love me always ...

My rating: 4 out of 5 starts

My review:

You Loved Me Once is an emotional stand-alone romance.  This was a new-to-me author and I enjoyed getting to read it.  It was fast-paced, well-written, and the storyline was developed.  The characters were dimensional with genuine conflicts, guilt, and regrets.  

Serenity Adam was passionate about her job-fighting cancer.  In order to protect herself from being hurt, she allows no one close, even in her personal life.  She has had a casual relationship with Dr. Westin Grant a neurosurgeon at her hospital for a few years.  She keeps her guard up and does not allow him to get too close.  Westin wants their relationship to become more and when Serenity finally starts to allow him in her past comes to haunt her.  During a new clinical trial, one of her patients in the study is married to her ex-fiancée.  She struggles with herself on allowing the woman to remain in the trial and against her better judgment she allows her in.  She puts her integrity, career, and her relationship in jeopardy with her decision.  When her choices are revealed will Westin forgive her?

Even though I do not agree with Serenity’s actions I think her heart was in the right place.  It was a heart-breaking story and I loved seeing Serenity finally open up and realize that she loves Westin.  Westin was understanding and patient with Serenity.  In the end, he supported her even though his career was on the line also.  I enjoyed the book and look forward to future books from the author.

I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
