Whatever It Takes

A Saratoga Falls Love Story, Book 1

By: Lindsey Pogue, Scarlet St. James

Narrated by: James Cavenaugh, Lauren Sweet

Born and raised in the quaint mountain town of Saratoga Falls where everyone knows everything, Samantha struggles to escape the harrowing night that changed her life three years ago. While she finds solace in the hard work that keeps her father's ranch afloat, her guilt and heartbreak makes it impossible to completely move on or forget. But when Sam's past comes rumbling back in a lifted, cherry red pickup truck, it's all Sam can do to keep her wits about her. A heat wave, a pair of familiar blue eyes, and a camping trip with friends will leave her questioning everything she's become in the wake of the most horrific night of her life.

Everyone knows that Reilly, the all-American boy-next-door, had a troubled home life. He couldn't wait to leave for the army after high school, but that was before he fell in love with Sam and captured her heart - only to break it when he was deployed. Now, Reilly returns home to close the darkest chapter of his own life, only to learn that what happened to Sam in his absence is what will haunt him the most.

Sam, Reilly, and their quirky friends will venture down a winding path of self-discovery and second chances in Whatever It Takes, a small-town love story bursting with raw emotion, unwavering friendships, and plenty of heart.

Note: This is a story about love and loss. It contains mature content, sexual and other.

Excellent

This was great it kept you wanting to hear more. It was a second chance romance. I enjoyed the story and the characters, side characters added to the story. It was well thought out and delivered. I requested this book and this is my voluntary review.

Everything a love story should be

A beautiful story about life and love, and how everything you do in both ricochets through the world around you. Samantha and Reilly certainly had no idea that one day their paths would cross again, and yet to see them come together seems such a right of passage in both their lives. If you like stories about second chances on a missed love with a small town setting, you will like this book.

Whatever it takes

It's a great story of second chances, but left several unanswered questions that I would have thought would have been clearified in order for the characters to move forward. The narration brought you into the book feeling and watching the story unfold.

Endearing and heartwarming

A well-written and heartwarming story. The narrator did a wonderful performance bringing the characters to life. Done quite nicely.

For Samantha and Riley, the long journey to a second chance together is filled with personal demons and tragedy. I love that this is a small-town romance and filled with emotions that will melt your heart.

EXCELLENT READ!

I absolutely loved it! The narration was superb and gave the story that extra flair! The author did an amazing job with the character builds and plot. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last! I look forward to reading more of her books!
