About The Book

Hearts were broken, and years have passed. Is it too late to find their Happily Ever After?

Bryce Maxwell left Valleywood ten years ago in hopes of living his dream of being a legend in hockey. No matter how many rings he collected and how many fans adored him, something always called him to return home. Due to a career-changing injury, he now has the chance to follow the siren call home. But will the one true love he left there still be waiting?

Connor Hughs only knew love once, when he was seventeen years old and in the arms of his best friend. But he knew he couldn’t keep his friend in Valleywood when he had the talent to make his hockey dreams come true. So he let him go, breaking his heart in the process. No matter how often Connor has tried to find love again, there is no comparison to the one that got away.

Now that Bryce is back home and knows it’s where he was always meant to be, can he and Connor overcome the years of hurt and distance that came between them and embrace what could be? Especially now that they know why they could never get over the other, Fate doesn’t let you forget your true mate.

Always Been Yours is part of the Valleywood series. Valleywood is a magical city filled with magic, love, forgiveness, and mpreg. This book can be read standalone or in the order of releases.

The Review

Bryce Maxwell and Connor Hughs are both shifters who have spent ten years apart while Bryce fulfilled his dream of being a hockey star. Connor decided to let him go rather than hold him back.

Now an injury has caused Bryce to return home to Valleywood, with the hope of reuniting with the man he has never stopped loving. Bryce realizes that Connor and he are fated mates. Since Bryce left before the age of maturity, he had no way of knowing Connor was his one and only.

Bryce refuses to give up on mating Connor, but Connor is afraid of opening his heart again, if and when Bryce returns to hockey. Connor also realizes that Bryce is his mate, but fear is standing in his way. What if Bryce leaves him again with a broken heart? He isn’t sure it will ever mend.

Bryce, however, has no intention of leaving. He knows that Valleywood is where he belongs with his mate, but he will have to gain Connor’s trust. He will do whatever it takes.

I was unfamiliar with the Valleywood series, but am happy to have had a chance to become acquainted with it. A sweet story.

5 stars.
