All Roads Book 1: Always Mine by T. Ashleigh

 

All Roads Book 1

Paxton-

I had it all. An amazing boyfriend, a full-ride scholarship, and so close to achieving my NFL dream. The future was headed my way, like a perfect spiral, straight down the field.

Until I fumbled the ball.

Everything I cared about was ripped away, and now my life has turned into something I no longer recognize. When I’m forced to move back home, I find myself face-to-face with the reminder of my own self-destruction.

Wyatt Clayton.

He wants nothing to do with me and I don’t blame him. I irrevocably broke us, and he made it clear there's nothing I can do to change the past. But I've lost too much to add him to the pile, and I’ll do anything it takes to get him back.

I need him. He’s my rock, my true dream, my everything.

My Wyatt.

Wyatt-

I thought I was done feeling pain like this.

When Paxton left--turning his back on me and everything we'd shared--I shattered. It took years to put the jagged edges of myself back together, but I managed to create something whole, if not imperfect.

Then he came back, and the shaky foundation I was standing on crumbled.

Now I’m adrift, drowning in the memories, while choking on his presence. He says he wants me back in his life--but my heart won't survive another break.

I have to resist him, and my long-buried emotions, but it's starting to feel impossible. How can I stay strong when he’s the same boy I fell in love with.

My Paxton.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

When Paxton injures himself during his college football game, his mom convinces him to come home. The one place he has avoided the last three years. Because three years ago, he made the biggest mistake of his life, and he has no idea if it is something he could ever fix. He broke the heart of the one and only person he ever loved. He has a lot to make up for, but the moment he is back to face everything he knows that he has to fight to earn Wyatt back. Because this time, he isn’t letting him go. Wyatt shattered when Paxton broke his heart three years ago. They were inseparable as kids and they started dating in middle school the moment they realized that the feelings they had for one another was beyond best friends. You could not find two people who were meant to be together. Soul mates in every way, they were one another’s match. And even after three years, Wyatt still isn’t happy and is still trying to pull himself together. But seeing Paxton come home is both the worst and best thing to ever happen. Can he actually forgive him? And is it finally for closure or to restart something that could shatter him all over again? Ugh, these two!! They broke my heart. You could see just how perfect they are for one another and that they deserve to be together and happy. Their road to a second chance isn’t an easy one. There is a lot to unpack and figure out after being apart, but I adored these two and their story. Just so good. I can’t wait to see more from this series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
