Corinne Michaels

From New York Times Bestseller, Corinne Michaels, comes a new second chance standalone romance. I spent twenty years waiting for Trent Hennington to open his eyes and see me. But it was all for nothing. He chose to keep himself guarded and let me walk away, proving that my time and efforts were wasted. I’m done being invisible. It’s time to move on. A single dance sets my new reality into motion, and I welcome it. After all, Cooper Townsend is perfect. He’s kind, sexy, and attentive—everything a girl could want. I thought I got it right this time. That my heart could mend, and I would be happy. Apparently, some things really are just too hard to walk away from.

*Arc provided in an exchange for an honest opinion.

Corinne Michaels is one of those authors that not only gives you a story with a bunch of characters, but gives you a story that reaches into your soul and latches itself there. I have literally cried reading every single one of this woman's books. And Say I'm Yours is no different.

Grace has given Trent chance, after chance, after chance to finally commit to her, and give her the life she wants. Which is to be married to him and start a family. But Trent for some reason always shuts down and pulls away from her. Finally having enough of it, Grace tells him it's over for good this time. 

Enter Cooper Townsend, Presley's brother and Trent's really good friend. He has had a crush on Grace and wants to see if they could be more than just friends. This of course wakens Trent's eyes, but is he finally ready to commit to Grace? Will she say, "I'm yours," to Cooper or will she give in and take Trent back?

Once again Corinne Michaels puts me through all the "feels." I was happy, frustrated at times, and so sad that tears were shed again. There was also a moment I had the biggest grin on my face, and when you read this, you will know what part I am talking about. I think my favorite thing about these stories with the Hennington's is the relationships between their parents. To be able to grow old and live your life with the one you truly love is such a blessing. And getting to hear their stories on how they met is incredible. I have really enjoyed reading these books, and I really hope another someone gets his own book ;)

TRENT!!! First I fell in love with Zach, immediately followed by Wyatt… and I just knew I’d fall for Trent too. And let me tell you, I certainly did!! He isn’t even my typical type of book boyfriend… but I can’t help but want him to succeed!

You see, Trent’s got a few issues of his own… one very important one being that he simply can NOT settle down with Grace. They’ve been in love for so many years, happily together, yet he just can’t agree to taking any of the necessary next steps. Grace is in her thirties and wants her relationship to move forward (i.e. marriage, children, etc.) and no matter how long she waits, Trent never seems to get his butt in gear. Grace finally gives up and walks out… will the thought of losing her forever actually change the way Trent looks at their relationship? Will he ever commit… and before it’s too late?

“I owe it to myself not to fall backward. It’s time to move forward. And Trent Hennington is now in my rearview mirror–where he belongs.”

I immediately loved Grace. As with all of Corinne’s characters, Grace had a heart of gold and a wonderful personality to match it. She always tried to do the right thing, regardless of how wrong it turned out to be. She never took advantage of people (*cough* Cooper *cough*) and was always straightforward and honest. Grace is someone I would be friends with in real life, so you can bet I was on her side from the very beginning.

Now for the chemistry. Again, it was OFF THE CHARTS! Corinne Michaels KNOWS how to write romance! Her sexy scenes are just the right amount of sexy, and I truly adore them, yet they aren’t so excessive that they take away from the story in any way. There was passion, heat, and all kinds of affection between these two. I loved it!

I simply cannot get enough of these books!!! The ups and downs, the way Corinne tortures my emotions, and the way I’m always drawn into the story, eyes glued to the book. I’m truly hoping there are more books like this in Corinne’s writing future… like Cooper’s story. Please. PLEASE! That being said, whatever Corinne has up her sleeve, I’m 100% game! Corinne has moved her way up to the top five of my favorites list!
