How much can a man take before he breaks?
1,843 days. That's how long I survived in that hellhole. They tried to break me, but I resisted. And I owe it all to the memory of warm summer nights, the scent of peaches, and the one woman who loved me more than I ever deserved to be loved. Now, I'll do anything to get back to her.
Only Shelby Eubanks isn't the girl I left behind all those years ago. She's someone else, a stranger. My Shelby-my little green-eyed firecracker-would never give up her dreams, would never disappear into her mother's ambitions. But I won't give up on her. On us. I may be broken, and scarred, and not the man I used to be, but I will do whatever it takes to remind her of the story of us.
When Eli left for the Marines he had to break the heart of the only girl he has ever loved and now that he’s back Shelby may break his. Eli left to save his family and his parents reputation so when he was given the choice of destroying his family and his sister or breaking up with Shelby he choose Shelby and he has kicked himself ever since.
Shelby had a choice to let Eli go or let his family suffer ruin so she let herself become her mother and host charity balls and give up her dreams. When Eli walks back into her life she nearly fainted but he is not playing by anyone’s terms except his own.
This story tore at your heartstrings most of the time and others made you so mad you could split nails. The love between Shelby and Eli is so perfect and they both find out how strong they really are. I just loved it. – Reviewed by Linda
