The Echo of Regret by Jillian Liota

 


The Echo of Regret by Jillian Liota is now live!



Bishop Mitchell is destined for baseball greatness – until an injury brings him home before he ever truly gets his shot. Now, he’s biding time back in Cedar Point. Helping coach his high school team, hanging with friends…and, apparently, falling for his high school girlfriend all over again.


Gabriela Ventura enjoys her small town life: a few close relationships, a thriving pottery business, and teaching ceramics is more than enough. So when the boy who broke her heart returns to town, the last thing she’s interested in is rekindling a friendship. Or anything else.


When Bishop and Gabi get partnered together at work, they cautiously take a trip down memory lane. The laughter the banter, the chemistry…it’s all just as good as they remember, and slipping back into their routine proves easier than either could have imagined.


But what isn’t easy is healing old wounds. With Bishop’s days in Cedar Point counting down and their future uncertain once again, the two must decide: is what they share worth letting go of their regrets from the past?


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

“I love you.  I’ve always loved you.  And I don’t think I’ve ever stopped.”

After an injury, baseball player Bishop Mitchell returns home to his small hometown of Cedar Point to recuperate.  Uncertain about his future playing professional baseball, he agrees to help coach his high school baseball team while in town.  After running into his high school girlfriend, Gabriela Ventura, and being partnered with her at school, he cannot help falling for her again.  

“We were…like a broken bone, and when you reset it, there’s going to be some hurt.  It hurts and it’s complicated and it isn’t always pretty.  There’s work that goes into getting things set right, but it happens…It happens, and I know what we have is worth it.”

Gabriela Ventura loves Cedar Point and after college, she returns to start her pottery business.  She tries to avoid him when Bishop returns to town, but they get stuck working together.  All the feelings and memories she thought she had buried came back as they worked together.  Now she must decide if she will risk her heart again and be left behind when he leaves town.

The Echo of Regret is the fourth book in the Cedar Point series. This was a new-to-me author, and I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this book. This second-chance romance was heartbreaking and filled with emotions. I loved watching Gabriela and Bishop rediscover their friendship and love for one another. This was a wonderful book, and I loved every minute of it.

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