Take Back My Heart is the debut novel by Aubree Valentine. It is about second chances, forgiveness, moving forward, and so much more. 

Connor left PA and went to live in New York, leaving Lauren behind to her way of thinking. And now that he's back, can she forgive him and move on with her life? Does she want him back? Why is he even there?

When he left, his initial intention was to come back to Lauren, but something happened and instead of coming back, he stayed away. He never stopped loving her though. Can he make her see reason, or will he let her fall through his fingers again. 

Let begin here...I hated Lauren. She is manipulative and selfish, and Connor let her be. I think the overall story is good and it was a good start for a debut novel. I can't wait to see with Aubree comes up with next, especially since this one ended on a bit of a cliffy. Yes, she left us hanging. The time frames are not 100% clear and there were times when I wished I understood the characters more. We need to have more of their emotions and such. Work on showing rather than telling. That said, underneath everything, there is a good second chance love story about two people who had life turn their worlds upside down. It proves that sometimes life isn't fair, but wonderful things can come out of tragedy. 3.5 stars. 

This was good start for rookie author Aubree Valentine. There were many times where I was confused with timeline as well as with the MC characters seeming whiplash with her feelings.

14 years ago Connor walked away from Lauren, thinking he was helping her. He left a rift in her that she thought she would never mend.

He's back. Lauren has to decide if she will let him back him in.

Will she give him a second chance?
