I'm a big fan of Addison Cole and was delighted to receive this ARC of The Corner of Heartbeark and Forever. This was a little slower moving. We don't find out for a long time why Grace feels Reece betrayed her and it's kinda a let down when we do. Overall, a good read but not a great one.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Cute story. A little hard to follow due to so many characters but it’s a series so that kind of understandable. Worth the read but will reserve judgement on the series till the next book.

To be honest here, I didn't really love Grace in the beginning and it took some time for me to warm up to her. I was not happy with her especially since she kept mentioning that Reece had betrayed her after she broke up with him, without explaining what he did. She was also a snob. She looked down on her town and the people living in it. That changes over time and I slowly began to like her. That's one of the reasons the book managed to keep the 5-star rating. Reece was a good man and I understand his reasons for "betraying" Grace. I liked him and his persistence. I want a man like him.

The secondary characters were a lot of fun and I want to see more of them in the next books. I am not just talking about the Montgomery sisters, but also for the ladies at the writing club. They were one of the best parts of the story and they kept it light. As far as second chances books go, this one was good and I more than tolerated it. It's one of Addison Cole's good books. You should read it.

What started out slowly...I’m glad I stuck with it...turned into an enchanting HEA story that stole my heart. I hope Ms Cole has plans to continue with a series revolving around the remaining siblings of the Montgomery family...I’d definitely sign up to read those stories!

I thoroughly enjoyed the interactions between all the siblings, each with such unique personalities made the story so much richer. The chemistry extruded between Reed and Grace was sigh worthy...as was the tenderness that he showered her with. These were characters who it was easy to lose your heart to.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I really liked this book, it was romantic and fun..Grace and Reed have amazing chemistry and while Gracie struggles with making the right choices for her career, Reed is willing to wait for her. Would recommend this book to everyone.

Swoon. Second chance at love.
Reed and Grace were "secret" high school sweethearts. Heartache and a misunderstanding separates the young lovers. Secrets has been kept with love.
This second chance romance story is filled with love and support of family, friends in a small town setting. Finding your roots to find yourself.
" when you truly love someone. You put their well-being before your own."

The Corner Of Heartbreak and Forever is Second Chance Romance at its best !!!!
It’s been years since Reed and Grace went their seperate ways but that doesn’t mean they still don’t have feelings for each other, both are back in their hometown and seem destined to keep bumping into each other but Reed is back in town for good and Grace is only home for a couple of weeks....
Hot cowboys breaking in wild horses at dawn, characters with sizzling chemistry and plenty of witty banter along with some amazing friendships will keep you turning the pages of this entertaining read.A funny passionate story that captivated me, I was hooked from the first chapter to the very last line. Looking forward to more from Addison Cole.

I love second chance romance. The start of this one was hard for me to believe, though. I would expect that by the age of 28 or so, the grips of high school would be past. That is not the case here.

I mean, sure, it's kind of cute to think that someone could be have the same unrequited love with the same person for 10 years, but it isn't likely. It is not cute that the person feeling the unrequited love acts like an immature high school student.

It was not too far into the book, though, that things improved between Reed and Grace. The author brought together the different aspects of the characters lives to weave a story that became one that made me smile and grow to love the community. Especially that early morning hike to see the men at the barn! That scene was a winner!

Sweet with a hint of sexy romance that will have readers swooning over this perfect Second Chance Romance. Perfect for a girl's night in alone.

This was my first from Melissa Foster writing as Addison Cole and it while it was different, I really enjoyed it. I love second chance romances and Grace and Reed’s journey to finding their way back to each other was so sweet and swoony. I also really connected with the family dynamic in this story. I can’t wait to see how things turn out for Grace’s sisters!

Life is a two way street. Hidden in the moments of heartache there's usually always a bright side. We just have to take the time to look. Having seen the rain, Grace and Reed are searching for their individual happy endings. What they find is a chance to have so much more. The Corner of Heartbreak and Forever proves to be a pitstop to Second Chance Highway despite the roadblocks determined to stand in the way. Cole keeps the smiles coming, the hearts glowing and the wisdom flowing.

This is such a sweet and fun second chance romance. I love the author's writing style which is on the sweet not the steamy side, yet still packs the same amazing romantic punch. Grace Montgomery & Reed Cross are a sweet couple and are such wonderfully written and deep characters.
There may have been a very long break since they were last together but there is no pretense from either of them when they finally see each other again and soon they begin to build off what they used to have together. I love that, no BS! Neither has ever been able to really move during the years they were apart because they were never able to forget the love they shared. This is a very heartwarming story about two souls clearly meant for each other.

This was such sweet romantic read about a second chance at love between Grace and Reed. Let’s be honest who doesn’t like a second chance romance. I fell in love with this small town and with Grace’s family. Grace has returned home for a few weeks to teach a screen writing class. While back in town she runs into Reed. Many years have gone by since they last saw each other but let me tell you the chemistry is still there. For me this was such a heartfelt story about two people learning from past mistakes and working to overcome new obstacles. It is also about not only learning to forgive each other but about learning to forgive yourself. I loved this book. I cannot wait until the next book in this series. Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Corner of Heartbreak and Forever by Addison Cole.
The Corner of Heartbreak and Forever is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy edition, Embracing Her Heart, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Addison Cole is Melissa's sweet-romance pen name.
If you go into this book understanding what sweet with heat means I think you will enjoy it. There is a lot of heat and lots of physical scenes they are mostly behind closed doors. This is a romance novel so the entire book surrounds the two main characters attraction to each other.
I believe this is a series with each of the sisters getting a book. Several of the sisters are known for sleeping around.
I enjoyed the family dynamics even if there was a lack of family moral values. There stuck by each other and supported each other.
Grace has come home for some down time and runs into her old flame Reed. Reed restores old buildings and is helping his uncle with some remodeling projects which is how he happens to be working on Grace’s family home.
Grace is helping her sister who runs a book store by having a writing class. These were probably some of my favorite scenes along with the theater.
The book is very well written. If you start the book with accurate expectations I think you will enjoy it.
sexual content - i rated this a 2.5 based on the fact the entire book was about their attraction to each other, there were a lot of physical scenes behind a closed door.
drinking - casual drinking
Personally I was ok with Reed and Grace's relationship. The sisters who were open to hooking up with anyone was a turn off.

Such a sweet second chance romance that will have you falling in love with not only Reed but Grace and the rest of the Montgomery sisters. Reed and Grace just happen to be back home at the same time after years of being apart. Grace followed her dreams and ended up breaking two hearts in the process. Now as years have gone by the spark and pull between Reed and Grace is still felt throughout the pages as you read. I love Reed and Grace together. They both have grown so much and learned from the past mistakes which means no more hiding. This is such a sweet read. You will love Reed and Grace so much. I loved every minute of reading this one. I'm hoping for more of the Montgomery sisters. I love this sweet side of Melissa Foster aka Addison Cole.

A great read. A second chance romance for Grace and Reed. They split up when she left town last time so will things work out differently this time?

Amazing! 

Grace is heading back to her home town to help teach a screen play class. When she arrives home she is shocked to see her high school sweetheart Reed, has moved back. Will she be able to put Reed out if her mind?

I absolutely loved this book, not only did it have the sweet romance it also had the whitty banter between the sisters. I truly fell in love with these characters.

I was given an advance readers copy by NetGally and this is my honest opinion.
