Blog Tour and Review: Belong by Jennifer Foor



Belong

Release Day: November 23




Ten years ago I fell in love with a married woman. I walked away so she could be happy, moving across the country to make sure I put space between us. We severed ties, and I promised myself I wouldn't look back. 

Since then I committed to someone else, and we have a child and a life many would wish for. Except, it's never been enough for me. There's always been something missing; something I never wanted to admit.

With my own marriage failing, I'm forced to go back to my hometown to bury the man who raised me. I never expected to see her there, and nothing could prepare me for what would happen the moment my arms wrapped around hers again.











"You have every right to assume this can't be anything more than a temporary affair. I don't blame you for being cautious, but there is something I want you to know."

She turned around, finally looking right at me with those hesitant eyes. "What?"

"I still love you." I swallowed the lump in my throat as the words came out, silently praying she wouldn't force me to leave. It wasn't every day that I told someone other than my wife I loved them, but in this instance it was the truest statement I'd ever made. "I feel like I've loved you for a lifetime. It’s true. I have loved my wife, but it’s not the same. It’s always been you, Rach. You’re the only woman I know I’ll never be able to let go of. Staying away was my only option. I did it to protect both of our lives, but there’s nothing standing in the way anymore. Please don't deny us a second chance." I paused one more time. "I need you, just as much as I think you need me."

Her shoulders relaxed, and I watched her purse fall from her grip and hit the concrete ground. She shrugged while staring into my eyes. Her lips were trembling, allowing me to almost sense the connection between us. "I'm not strong enough to be with you again. I can't handle anymore heartache. Being close to you scares me, because I’m tired of the pain and suffering."
I took two steps forward, breaking the distance between us. "I'm not capable of hurting you again, Rach. If you give me this chance I promise I won't let you down. Let me be your friend again, and whatever comes with it will be determined by both of us."





Belong is the third book in the Seven Year Itch series.  I have to say when I decided to pick this book to review I didn't realize this was a third book.  Imagine my surprise right... well I have to say I am glad I didn't read the other 2 books because I have seen some poor review for the second book Bereft and the first book Binge, so even though this is definitely a series of sorts you can absolutely read this as a standalone.  It continues the journey of Chad and Rachel but honestly I didn't feel like I missed out on anything by only reading this story it was actually a pretty decent read.  I would give it a 3.5 stars and I would recommend to others.  

If your like me and just started this series with Belong let me lead they way for you a bit, Chad and Rachel's love story started in Bereft but it was short lived because of a marriage that was involved.  Years later they are brought back together because of a death of someone they both truly cared about.. and Boom old sparks fly.. chemistry ignites.. and new love story will begin for them once again... But this time the shoe is sort of on the other foot.  Will Chad and Rachel find away to be together finally after many years of separation?  Or will a wicked twist send there romance spiraling once again to the ashes?

Go get this book to find out what will happen in this whirlwind romance!
