Description
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.
A Story Like Ours, book 2 in the Love Story duet, will release June 18, 2019.

A truly delightful and sweet novel. Just the right cup of tea that I needed this weekend. I read it all in one night and I am so glad that I got to enjoy it. Sam and Lucy show so much strength as a fighting couple that have a second at true love. That honest, and are romance that gets you emotional wanting more. Tears were shed, happy laughter was expressed and I am beyond glad that I did not miss out on this one.
I am looking forward for part two because that ending was absolutely fantastic and has me tearing my hair out as well ;)

What an incredible debut from Robin Huber! This book came recommended to me by a friend who had read it in one sitting and I was anxious to dive into it!
Lucy and Sam met when they were teenagers when they were placed in the same foster home in Brighton Park. They were one another's family. Sam looked out for Lucy and Lucy helped Sam do his best in the classroom. When an incident occurs that separates the two of them, it is devastating for both of them. Fast-forward ten years and now Lucy is engaged and is running her own art gallery, whereas Sam is now a professional boxer who has made quite the name for himself.
When Lucy attends one of Sam's fights and he realizes that she was there, he does everything he can to find her. When he finally does, he makes a surprise appearance at her art gallery. The idea is to get closure, but as we all know, best laid plans...
I enjoyed how the author wove parts and pieces of Sam and Lucy's past in, giving us the opportunity to get to know them better and to understand their bond and how strong it was from the very beginning. We also got real insight into the struggle that Lucy is having balancing what is happening with Sam and what is going on with her fiance. It felt real and raw.
It goes without saying that I am already ready for the next book in this series!
Robin Huber is a new-to-me author, and I’ll definitely be reading more from her. A Love Like Yours is an emotional, captivating second-chance romance and the first book in the Love Story duet. Sam and Lucy share a heartbreaking, beautiful history, and although they parted ways under painful circumstances, their hearts still ache for one another. Lucy is on the cusp of marrying another man, but when she seems Sam again, it’s obvious they’re love story isn’t finished. This moving, unforgettable journey will leave you begging for more as you wait for the second book, A Story Like Ours, which, thankfully, releases soon on June 18. I absolutely cannot wait for more of Sam and Lucy.
