A STORY LIKE OURS (LOVE STORY DUET #2)

In the riveting, powerful conclusion to the Love Story duet, Sam and Lucy discover that sometimes it's not about finding love, it's about saving it.

Even when we were kids, the connection between us was overwhelming. I knew Sam and I were soulmates, destined to be together. Breaking that love would mean breaking us. And for a little while, that happened. I lost the man who had always been my other half.

After too much heartache and too many years apart, we've finally found our way back to each other. But Sam's professional boxing career is getting in the way of our happy ending. I don't know how much longer I can watch him take another crushing punch, knowing each one knocks him closer to danger. He's killing himself. For me. For us. And for one tiny other...

Then the blow comes. It's not the one I thought it would be--fist in glove--but the result is the same. We're on the verge of losing everything we fought for. Everything we sacrificed for.

We thought we paid the price. We thought we had it all.

But what if my love isn't enough to bring Sam back to me?

Nikki’s Review:

At the end of my review for the first part of this duet, I said that I wasn’t sure where else the story could go. I thought maybe the characters didn’t need more page time, and things could have wrapped up in one book. I was wrong. Really wrong. There was so much more story to tell. 

I think the second part of this duet was even more of an emotional storm than the first part. Lucy and Sam are together. Lucy has decided to grab ahold of what she wants and needs, which is Sam. Yay! I mean, Sam is amazing and I couldn’t help but love him to bits. 

The couple have barely had a chance to find their footing in this new relationship when everything is turned upside down again. There are two major surprises, one that is completely wonderful, and the other is heart wrenchingly tragic. Oy! I snot and bawled through so much of this book. 

I don’t want to give too much away because I think it would be doing the reader a disservice. This book is best felt from a firsthand experience. Just know that Sam and Lucy haven’t necessarily found their HEA yet. They have some pretty big obstacles to overcome. But the one thing that remains constant is their love for each other. 

Robin Huber is a new to me author, and she has quickly become an author that I’ll read from now on. Her writing is superb. She really makes you care about her characters. This was an absolutely amazing duet, and A Story Like Ours, was an outstanding ending. I’m actually going to miss Sam and Lucy. This duet needs to be read in order, starting with A Love Like Yours. Read it!!!

A LOVE LIKE YOURS (LOVE STORY DUET #1)

In this compelling, fiercely emotional debut, childhood sweethearts have a second chance at true love--but can they overcome the past that tore them apart?

I've been a fighter all my life, even before I made it my career. As a kid in the foster system, I didn't have any other choice. But I've never fought for something--for someone--as hard as I fought for Lucy. I was her protector, her hero--and she was my everything. From the day we met, she made our grim days in Atlanta's notorious Brighton Park fade away--leaving only us.

But we broke each other's hearts, and we did a damn good job of it. A decade has passed since I last saw her, but not a day goes by that I don't think of her clear blue eyes or easy smile. So when I see her at one of my matches--and find out that she's engaged--I need to understand why she turned her back on me all those years ago. Because no matter what I do, no matter how many guys I knock out in the boxing ring, I can't forget her

So I'm not giving up on her. I'm not walking away.

I'm going to fight for Lucy one last time.

Nikki’s Review:

Sigh. I love a second chance romance novel! I love when the characters journeys come full circle, and they find their way back to each other. A Love Like Yours is one of those stories.

Sam and Lucy both grew up in the foster care system. They became best friends when they were placed in the same home. Over the years, that friendship grew into a romantic love.

You get a real sense that this is true love for Sam and Lucy even at the tender age of 17. They’ve been through the wringer as kids, and they don’t take love for granted. After a series of events rips them apart, they have to learn to live without each other.

Fast forward 10 years and they’ve reunited. The emotion was full on in your face from the moment they see one another. It was obvious that the love they had as teenagers never went away. Man, I was so hopeful for these two from the get go! I wasn’t sure how it was going to work out though. Lucy is engaged to another man, Drew. It would have been so much easier for me to be ok with her breaking up with Drew if he was a douchebag, but he wasn’t. I really liked him. And he really loved Lucy. I knew this was going to get me in the feels, and I was right. 

I started to grow a little tired of Lucy’s back and forth over what she was going to do. I can’t imagine how much her heart was hurting, but I just wanted her to be more steadfast in her decision-making. In real life I imagine that Lucy’s behaviour was pretty accurate though. 

Lucy makes her decision, and there’s definitely a trail of shattered heart pieces left behind. I was so happy, but kinda sad at the same time. Crazy, eh? My feelings were all over the place with this book. 

The story and characters were all really well developed and the writing was spectacular. There’s a cliffhanger at the end, and the story continues in A Story Like Ours. I’m honestly not sure how that one is going to go. I feel like the story could have wrapped up in book 1, but maybe I’ll be surprised and discover that there’s so much more to these characters. Book 2 comes out on June 18th, so stay tuned for my next review!
