I thought the book was a nice easy read. It was interesting to see how the characters lives crossed again. The ending was predictable, you just didn't know how they were going to get there! I do wish there was more to the story at the end.

They connected in a whirlwind romance faster than anyone could predict they ended up married and so in love. Things were so good until they weren’t. Things ended just as quickly as they started and she walked out of his life leaving nothing but a note. Five years later he crashes into her ER and she literally helps save his life. Not only that, but she’s still listed as his emergency contact and somehow gets roped into letting him stay with her as he recovers. Will sparks fly as Evie and Foster reconnect and face their past or with they combust?

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

If you are looking for a sweet and easy read this is the one for you.

Eve and Foster fell in love quickly and were briefly married before life got in the way.
Fast forward to 5 years later, Eve is working as a trauma nurse in the ER and Foster comes in as a patient in her trauma room. They have spoken in 5 years and now he is laying there horribly injured. The characters were both very lovable and I was cheering them both on the entire journey. Read this book to see what happens.

I would recommend this read to my friends and followers.

I love a slow burn but wow this one was a SLOOOOOOOOOOOW burn. I loved the chemistry & banter so I stuck it out but it was so slow I almost dnf. Glad I stuck it out tho because the ending was sweet

Ok I’m in my motorcycle phase again.

Second chance romance mutal pinning!! This was so good my chest hurt! Was really worried about the ending felt very cut and run but I got my HEA.

(FYI this is a close door romance)

This book is a SLOW BURN. While there's yearning and sexy banter, nothing physical happens between them until the very end.

The characters are quite likeable. Both have a lot of baggage from their first attempt at a relationship, but they genuinely try to see each other for who they are in the present time and not who they were.
One thing that I wasn’t a fan of was the “accent” and it definitely pulled me out of enjoying this book as much as I could

Still the One
Written by: Aimee Brown
Pub Date: Nov. 26th, 2024

Still the One was a sweet second-chance romance about a couple reconnecting after five years. Eve Cassidy didn't expect to see her ex-husband, Guy Foster, on what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary. She was shocked when he showed up as a patient in a trauma room at the hospital where she is a trauma nurse. He was brought in with many injuries from a crash during an FMX competition. When Foster needs to stay locally to recover, Eve agrees to have him stay with her and help him recover. They quickly learn that their connection is still alive and Foster is holding onto a secret that Eve never would have expected.

I enjoyed the story about Eve and Foster and how somethings are just meant to be!

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this novel.

DNF 14% I’m struggling! I’m not finding this story captivating and I don’t like the two main characters. Life is too short and my TBR shelf is exploding. Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood books for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

loved this romance of a bike rider and nurse and their quick marriage . They end up leaving each other but 5 years later, he comes into the ER and she helps nurse him back to health. They find love again.

DNF for me. Writing was very juvenile and the way the characters talked reminded me of a YA read. Very repetitive about 20% of the way through. Couldn’t get past it

I absolutely loved every page of this cute second chance romance. I was in a bit of a reading slump because of a chain of books with huge world building and extensive lists of characters, and this lovely story got me out of it instantly.
It's a cozy book, grab a coffee and a blanket to read it in one day, because you won't be able to put it down.

Eve and Fost turned quickly into comfort characters for me. I also really liked seeing their careers and groups of friends being described, enjoyed and shared. I feel like we don't usually get background of career choices and this was really refreshing. There were other characters that added depth to their romance too, like Matty, Jess and Phil. The going back and forth with flashbacks/dreams was masterfully done, so it never got confusing or repetitive.

I just hope we would have seen (instead of being told of) them growing and overcoming their flaws, I also got a bit anxious when the HEA was MIA at around 90% of the book, but swooned like a little girl when I got to that part, giggling and kicking my feet for their cuteness.

The only other thing that was not my jam was the strong use of some stereotypes... several characters were oversimplified or exacerbated cliché (Latina women, Gay people, Southern states). I could have done without the constant clarification of accents or choice of clothing.

Overall, I would recommend this book to romance readers and possibly do a re-read if I feel stuck, as it was a quick and fun book!

Still the One was a great second chance romance featuring a couple reconnecting after five years. Eve Cassidy didn't expect to see her ex-husband on what would have been their fifth wedding anniversary and definitely didn't expect for him to be a patient in a trauma room at the hospital where she is a trauma nurse. Her ex, Guy Foster, was brought in with a ton of injuries from a crash during a FMX competition nearby. When Guy needs to stay locally to recover, Eve agrees to have him stay with her and to help him recover. They quickly learn that their connection is still there after almost five years apart. Neither Eve nor Foster will win awards for communication - but they were a great pairing with plenty of fun, flirty moments. Still the One was an entertaining closed door romance - a quick, fun read with humor and heart. Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this novel.

A huge thank you to the publisher, NetGalley and Aimee Brown for this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

As a sucker for second chance romance and fan of medical dramas, I had to read this book.
Overall, I liked the story and the forced proximity. The dreams and flashbacks were a great way of giving insight into the characters’ past and why their relationship ended. There was definitely tension between them, but no spice (which made sense given the mc’s situation).
The ending and epilogue were cute, but I didn't like the conflict and miscommunication. I would've wished for them to sit down and have a mature conversation where they say what they mean. Eve said the opposite of what she actually wanted and expected Foster to read her mind, which in my opinion wasn't fair to him.
I’d still recommend this book to anyone who prefers clean romance with only kissing and likes second chance. The acknowledgement broke my heart – I’m sorry the author and her family had to go through that and sincerely hope that they're okay now.

The premise was a great idea, but the execution was tough. The dialogue was meant to be “flirty” but came off immature and hard to read. There was no rekindling, it was just insta-love and fell flat.

A sweet, quick read but, for me, I needed to know more about the characters and their connection.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this

I liked this a lot! I did get really tired of the interruptions right in the middle of their crucial conversations; once is a coincidence, but so many times it really took me out of the story. I really appreciated the pace of the way they came back together; it wasn't instant, it took work.

Thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for the ARC. I am very grateful to be able to review upcoming releases.

This book fell unfortunately short for me. I was drawn in by the description but left ultimately disappointed by multiple elements.

The dialogue was tough. Not very organic and often cheesy (and not in a fun romcom way). The characters felt flat and unlikeable. I have a hard time rooting for a couple “overcoming” a formerly toxic relationship due to forced proximity. As much as I wanted to like Eve, I couldn’t help but see a damaged person clinging to love from people who can’t treat her how she deserves.

There were moments I enjoyed, but overall I found this one tough to get through. I would be willing to give this author another chance, but this one just wasn’t for me.

The acknowledgments were beautiful. I am so happy that the author and her husband were able to get through the horrible experience that inspired this novel. I wish this novel was closer to their lives as I feel it would have been a much more engaging read.

I love a good marriage reconcilliation book and this one was super sweet. Eve and Fost married quickly and just as quick their marriage ended. Five years later he is in a motorcycle accident and as fate would have it he comes into Eve's trauma bay. She is shaken up and what makes matters worse is that it is on what would have been their 5th anniversary. Come to find out, she is still his emergency contact.
When Fost wakes up and realizes Eve is with him and has been the whole time he was in the hospital, he knows he can't let her go again. He plans to do whatever it takes to win her back because she is the only woman that he has ever truly loved. He just has to find out how to tell her the divorce never really went through and they have been married this whole time.
As they grow closer and he is with her as she helps him get back on his feet he has to decide if he can put her first or if work will always be his first priority.
What I loved about this book was the fact that as soon as he heard Eve's voice he knew what he had to do. If you believe in fate, kismet, whatever, you need to read this book because it is just proof that what is meant to be, will be.
Thanks to Boldwood Books, Amiee Brown and Netgalley for an early copy.

I love a second chance love story. This book brought out all of the emotions. Eve is a hardworking nurse who 5 years ago fell hard and fast for FMX rider Foster. Needless to say it didn’t work out for them back then. Foster has a major wreck on his bike and ends up in the care of non other than Eve.

Aimee Brown was able to portray raw and realistic emotions and actions that happen when you dive face first into love. The characters didn’t hold back on letting you know how they felt and their banter had me giggling. 3.75⭐️
