New Release and Review: Loved You Once by Claudia Burgoa

From Goodreads:
After a week off the grid, I finally get reception and the first voicemail I hear stuns me.
“You’re summoned to Baker’s Creek by the late William Tower Aldridge.”

Twelve Years.
It’s been twelve years since the last time I heard from the Aldridge family.
That one voicemail changes everything—I need the money the late William offers.
In exchange, I have to live eighteen months in Baker’s Creek.
I’ve survived cancer, the jungle, and the plague.
This should be easy compared to all that, right?
Or so I think until...I see him.
Confident, charismatic, bitter, sexy as hell, Doctor Hayes Benjamin Aldrige.
My first love, my first kiss—my late husband’s brother.
He hates me.
He still hasn’t forgiven me for walking out on him, and I can’t blame him. It’s been over ten years, and I still have feelings for him.
But I faked it once and I can fake it twice.
I can survive eighteen months and that’ll be the last time I see the Aldridge brothers.

Isn’t it?

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series is a romantic comedy saga packed with the perfect mix of angst, tears, and laughs. If you like strong heroines & alpha males, steamy romances and witty love stories, this series is for you!

My Thoughts and Review:

In Loved You Once, we meet the Aldridge brothers.  They are each similar in some aspects, but also extremely unique.  Could this be due to the fact that while they may share a father, they were each raised by their mothers, and none of the living 6 have the same mom?

"Henry, the hotel mogul, is callous.
Hayes, the doctor, is handsome, nerdy and detached.
Pierce, the lawyer, is an unrelenting know-it-all.
Mills, the hockey player, is reckless.
Vance, the former Delta Force member, is impulsive.
Beacon, the heartthrob musician, is rebellious."

This is a great second chance romance. This stand alone is the perfect introduction to the Aldridge brothers. They have an interesting dynamic and I can't wait to read more about them all.

I loved Blaire. The way she overcame her childhood challenges and went on to achieve incredible things to help others is inspiring. Hayes, the way he takes the loss of his father as the sign that he needs to make the changes in himself was perfect.  The connection the two of them have is undeniable, and the love that most of us look for.
