Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Some love stories are worth risking everything for.

Wren leaves home and heartbreak to spend the summer with her father and step-family on their farm in Indiana, Midwestern USA. More than anything she hopes this trip will provide a chance to heal and build bridges.

There Wren meets two brothers. Jonas is a notorious heartbreaker and Anders is still grieving the wife he lost in a tragic accident three years ago. In spite of being warned off falling for either of them, Wren is inextricably drawn to Anders.

As the harvest approaches, Wren knows her feelings are growing stronger. What Wren doesn't know is that Anders has been harbouring an earth-shattering secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone.

Walking away from Anders will hurt Wren more than she can imagine. But how can she possibly stay once she's discovered the obstacles that lie between them?

Critic reviews

"Deep, emotional, powerful, beautifully written with a masterful tender touch - this book is a must-read." (Milly Johnson)

"Paige Toon writes such beautiful, emotional love stories. I adored Only Love Can Hurt Like This - it swept me away to the gorgeous Wetherill Farm and I fell in love with Wren and Anders." (Beth O'Leary)

"Oh my GOD. This book! Only Paige Toon can make me believe in the power of love this way. Wren and Anders took me on a sweeping journey through America's Midwest that left me giddy, and breathless. This is going to be totally massive, because it has everything: family, love, secrets, sexy descriptions of brooding, hot men... just sublime." (Laura Jane Williams)

Paige nails it every time

I just can’t put into words how much this author means to be. Every story she writes transports me to where these characters are and I feel everything like it was happening to me. This one is no different. Her ability to add a plot twist to a story means they are never predictable and it’s impossible to fall into any cliches you can find with other books of this genre. If you want to fall into a rabbit hole of amazing books then pick up one from Paige Toone you will never be disappointed. But bring tissues cause bloody hell you’ll need them!

Easy listening.

First Page toon book I have read. A nice romantic easy listen with a few twists and turns. Sometimes that’s all that is needed.

Another first class from Paige Toon

If you’re in need of satisfying, absorbing escapism with likeable characters and emotional depth - Toon is a reliable choice. My sole complaint is the compliment of a desire for more from her.
This is a really lovely story which totally held my attention - recommended.
