Summary (From Goodreads):

An emotional, spicy, second-chance romance from USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.

This time, they’ll get it right.


Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another…until they fell apart.

Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other’s minds.

When Sam gets accepted into college and the pair help him move in together, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes with him to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous scenery of the California coastline, dreamy destinations, and a great deal of long-yearned-for proximity, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But the two still have to contend with their tumultuous past in order to move forward. And when spoken words fail, sometimes the written word must bridge the gap.

Will they make the most of what’s left of forever? Or will they let each other go for good?

Brimming with big feelings and packed with steam, Left of Forever is bestseller Tarah DeWitt at the top of her game.

My Review:

Thank you St. Martin’s Press for the copy of this book.

Read if you like: Second Chance Romance

Wren and Ellis had a baby at seventeen, and even though they loved each other, they ended up divorced. Now, with their son graduating high school and moving to college, they start to explore the feelings that they still have for each other and start to look into if they could rekindle their relationship.

I love a second chance romance and this book was so good. I loved Wren and Ellis’ love story and how they fought their way back to each other. Tarah Dewitt is becoming an auto read author and I need to read all of her books.
