“Marry me.”

“What?” I stared back at him, unblinking.

He moved closer, taking my face in his hands. “I love you, Evie. I look into the future, and the only thing I see clearly is you. Marry me.”

What’s an eighteen-year-old girl who was madly in love with her nineteen-year-old boyfriend say?

Of course, I said yes.

Twenty-four hours later, I married Adam Gunner at a Vegas chapel to the sounds of “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. Not the best omen. I get that now.

Then, exactly one week later, I left him. I walked out, leaving behind my wedding ring, annulment papers, and my heart, and he never knew why.

I haven’t seen him since. Not in ten long years.

Now, he’s here, standing before me. Looking at me with nothing but hurt and hatred in his eyes, he wants answers.

Answers I can’t give.

Adam POV

 

Making my way through the hotel, I exchange pleasantries with the staff on duty. When I reach the coffee shop, I push open the door and step straight into the past.

Evie.

She’s standing behind the counter. Her face is turned slightly to the right, her attention on the TV mounted on the wall, and her hair is pulled back into a ponytail.

But it’s her.

I feel like a speeding train has hit me, and I’m pretty sure my heart has stopped beating.

It’s really her.

She’s here.

“Evie?” I breathe out her name, like I’m taking my first real breath in a very long time.

Her body stiffens at the sound of my voice. And I watch as her face turns my way. Those big whiskey-colored eyes that I fell in love with all those years ago meet mine, and my world stands still.

 

Evie POV

 

My eyes rake over him as I remember the Adam I knew ten years ago and compare him to the Adam I see before me. The long hair is gone, replaced with cropped locks. The unshaven scruff on his face is still very much there though. At least some things haven’t changed.

“You cut your hair.”

“It has been ten years.”

“I know. I just…I remember a time when you said you’d never cut your hair.” A small smile touches my lips at the memory.

“Yeah, and I remember when you promised to love me till death do us part. Shit changes.”

My smile drops from my face. My cheeks sting like he’s just slapped me.

I deserved that. Doesn’t stop it from hurting like a bitch though.

Michel’s Review

I love second chance romances.  I also love Samantha Towle’s writing.  Put the two together and it’s perfection.  When I Was Yours by Samantha Towle is a solid 5 Star book. It has all the elements fans of New Adult and Second Chance romances look for in a book.

Adam and Evie came from two different worlds.  Their meeting was destiny that would forever change both of their lives.  One summer of magical love.  One year of pure bliss.  Ten years of heartbreak, torment, and pure hell.  Ten years of lies and deceit.  Now it’s time to face the truth.  It’s time to let go of the past.  It’s time for forgiveness.

Adam and Evie fell hopelessly in love at a very young age.  Due to their life circumstances they chose to marry rather than be separated during their college years.  One moment and one person tore their lives apart.  Evie disappeared without a trace.  Adam became the man he was expected to be.  He also became a harsh and unfeeling person.  He was on the fast track of being sucked into his parents world until he ran into Evie.  This time around he wants explanations and wants to punish Evie for destroying him.

Evie has spent the last ten years heartbroken and harboring a lot of guilt.  She has a ton of regret but would still make the same choices she did when she was eighteen.  Running into Adam will give her a chance to apologize.  She knows she’ll never get forgiveness.  She knows she’s lost his love.  She knows that she will always love him with all of her heart.  She knows she has to set him free.

But what happens when she finds out that she is still legally tied to Adam.  Can she convince him to let her go once again?

When I Was Yours was angsty, emotional, and heartbreaking.  Adam and Evie had the epic love we all dream of having in our lives.  Together they were perfection.  Apart they were broken.  How they found their way back to each other wasn’t easy.  But easy isn’t worth fighting for, complicated messy love is.

Samantha Towle once again delivered an epic romance that all readers will love.
