Not So Far (Love Grows series Book 3) by Renee Regent. I simply love each of these stories and this one I love just as much if not just slightly more. The characters are complex and relatable and completely had me wrapped in their story. Each one has there own story to be heard and the author does a wonderful job of making readers feel a connection with the characters. The connection between the characters is undeniable and definitely one I won’t be forgetting any time soon. I definitely couldn’t put this book down and loved every minute of being lost in it. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.

This is a nice story of a second chance romance. The story moves along and the characters are interesting. There are family obligations and expectations that come into play with these two. My one issue is I would think the other two kids would/should be involved in or at least get to know him and make sure they are all compatible.
Audrey and Silas have a history. They spent a wonderful summer together. Then he left and now eighteen years later they meet back up. Each one has lived a lifetime, each one has secrets. While they reconnect once the past and present intersect who will be standing once the dust settles.

Not So Far (Love Grows series, Book 3) by Renee Regent was a great 5 star read.
Once I started I was pulled right in.
This is Aubrey and Silas’s story. Aubrey is shocked when she sees Silas is back in town and wanting a second chance with her. She is still upset with Silas because of his leaving several years ago. She is finally in a good place with her life and not sure if she’s ready to let him back in.
Silas has some big regrets about leaving and he’s harboring a big secret that would hurt Aubrey. Seeing her again has brought back so many feelings. What he doesn’t know is that Aubrey has a secret of her own as well.
Will she be able to let Silas back in? What will happen when secrets come out?
Overall I really enjoyed this read, my emotions were all over the place. I loved Aubrey, she is very independent and not afraid to say what’s on her mind. You could feel the chemistry coming off the pages between these two. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Audrey and Silas – yes please! Regent does such a fantastic job of weaving a story that immediately pulls you in and connect the characters, whether you want to or not. I was immediately invested in this storyline, guessing what may have happened, what the plot twist might be. And whether or not I guessed correctly I still couldn’t wait to read the next page. Loved every word and hope there is more coming in this series!!

Not So Far ( Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent. This was the first book I have read in this series and by this author. I didn’t feel like I missed anything yet not reading the previous books in this series, but I will be going back and reading them!! This book definitely pulled me in from the beginning and I could not put this down until I was done. My heart broke for both Silas and Audrey. I absolutely loved how they were both thinking about each other at pretty much the same time. They both went through emotional journeys to get were they both needed to be and belonged. The chemistry and love that they had for each other was amazing!!! I can not wait to see what is in store for us next!!!

Not So Far by Renee Regent is the third book in the Love Grows series. This book is a great addition to the series and really will keep you turning the pages. Audrey and Silas are two great characters. There is something about them that just draws you in and makes you want to read about them. They have to be my favourite couple of the series, making this book the best as well. This author has created a brilliant series, one that is highly enjoyable with strong characters and interesting story lines. Personally I think they are best read in order although they could all be stand-alones. I would highly recommend both this book and series.

Not So Far is the third book in the Love Grows series and again as with the first two I really enjoyed it. I find Ms Regent’s books so easy to read; they are always enjoyable and have great characters. I really loved Silas and Audrey – I really felt the connection that they had with each other. Audrey was strong and independent and after what happened in the past with Silas I knew she would struggle to build a connection with him again now he is back in her life. I did love reading about their relationship, the high and the lows. They were both really likeable characters and I was rooting for them the whole way through! I 100% recommend this story and I look forward to more from Ms Regent again in the future!

I enjoyed this book. It is the third book in this series and my favorite yet. I highly suggest reading the previous two books. This is a well developed story that I had a hard time putting down. It is engaging and full of romance. I had no problem connecting with the characters. The emotional roller coaster ride they took me on had me turning pages to the end. This is a second chance love story that pulled at my heartstrings. Fate has brought Silas back to Atlanta, back to Audrey. Will she hate him for leaving the first time? Audrey has finally gotten to the part of her life where she has everything she wants. What will happen when fate puts Silas back into her life? Is she strong enough to resist him or will fate give them a second chance? I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I also enjoyed watching these two character’s relationship grow throughout the story. This is a really great story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Fate brought me back to Atlanta, Georgia, but there’s only one thing that will make me stay—a second chance with the love of my life, Audrey Colebank. Which isn’t likely, because she hates me for disappearing so many years ago.
I can’t tell her the real reason I left. Someone close to her made me promise to stay far away, and revealing what happened would only hurt Audrey again. But now that I’ve seen her, the spark that never went out has become a flame. Keeping away from her is going to be difficult. Maybe impossible.
Should I leave again to protect her, or can we find a way to be together?
Audrey
I was at a point in my life where I finally knew who I was and what I wanted. Then fate threw me a curveball from the past—my biggest mistake, Silas Vance.
Seeing him again has forced me to face two truths. One, I still can’t resist him, even though he tore my heart to shreds when he left. And two, I can’t tell him my biggest secret without hurting him and everyone I love.
He doesn’t deserve a moment of my time after what he did, but avoiding him is easier said than done. When he’s near, logic and reason disintegrate in the fire of passion he ignites in me.
Do I have the strength to resist him, or will I make another mistake?
The Love Grows series–Strong, protective heroes, feisty, independent heroines. When they meet, love grows in unexpected ways!

This is a lovely read for the holiday season, with two heartwarming tales to get you in the mood (plus there’s snow!). Although a quick story with little plot, the way the backstories of the main characters were revealed and the way this played out into the character development was delightful. This was a warm book and super quick and easy to read. I would have loved them to be a bit longer. Nevertheless, the characters were relatable and well-written, and the stories were interesting. A sweet holiday novella.

These two stories were the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. The author did a wonderful job illustrating how past experiences should not dictate current life experiences, which is a great lesson for readers to learn. The first character Noelle had to overcome her past anxieties to be able to celebrate new traditions with her boyfriend. I feel like I related with Noelle the most because I also deal with anxiety and the holiday season can be a very trying time. The second character Eve had to learn how to break her holiday bad luck by going to her neighbor’s New Years Eve party. These two stories were a quick afternoon read that left me feeling uplifted and in the holiday spirit.

Running In Snow consists of two short, sweet novellas that I thoroughly enjoyed! It was absolutely perfect for a quick afternoon reading break!
Story One is Noelle’s Promise. This is about a woman who had something bad happen as a child that resulted in her never, ever celebrating Christmas in any way. She avoids all this Christmas cheer like it’s the plague! This year, against her better judgement, she has agreed to spend the holiday with her boyfriend and his family. Can she get through one week without being overwhelmed with tragic memories? Can she get through one week without making these people think she’s completely crazy??? Noelle and Logan are such a great couple!
Story Two is Eve’s Hope. This is about a woman who swears she is cursed and refuses to leave the house on New Year’s Eve and refuses to drive ANYWHERE in the snow! So what is a girl to do when her heater breaks in the middle of a freak Atlanta snowstorm that happens to be on New Year’s Eve??? Head over to the HOT neighbor’s house is what! Will her curse continue or will things change at the stroke of midnight?
Both of these stories were beautifully written and pulled me in. You know it’s a great story when you are completely absorbed in it and can feel an emotional pull to the characters in a book that only takes about an hour to read! These stories will leave you with feelings of hope and happiness which is something we can all use this time of year and always!

Two lovely festive stories sure to make anyone feel some good holiday cheer. Noelles Promise made me both smile and cry, and thankful for the love and family I have in my life. Eves Hope gives you just that; hope. Amazing things can happen when you least expect them to, and this story made me feel warm and fuzzy from start to finish. Brilliantly written and a great way to get into the holiday spirit!

Noelle has faced a tragedy at a young age that has left her a bit anxious about the holidays as she’s gotten older. For her, they hold very bad memories along with the wish to just skip them altogether. She’s been lucky enough to have met a man who not only respects her wishes but doesn’t push to hear the reasons behind it. Within a visit to his family during the holidays she is confronted with her past, faced with the reality of what the bitterness and sadness can do to her in time as well as how deep her love runs for her boyfriend. Can that love help her overcome the bad?
Eve has had a good life, enjoying her relationship, work and is happy. But new years eve has been a day of unease for her since she was dumped. She’s content with keeping to herself on that day and hiding from the world. Instead, her house works against her and makes it difficult. When she decides to take a chance with an offer to spend time with her neighbor it isn’t what she expected. She’s faced with yet another bad memory in the making, realizes she misjudged and has to decide if its time to turn it all around. Can she open up her heart again to find a happy memory?
With short stories its sometimes difficult to capture the true essence of a character’s story from the background, to the present. However, I didn’t experience any lacking of depth in either story. I felt a connection to them both of the women, they’ve had to conquer some pretty bad moments. I loved their journey and had a few aww moments along with a tear or two for Noelle. This may be a quick read, but it’s such a good one! It’s the perfect pairing for some hot cocoa, a blanket, the book and some quiet. Which is exactly what I did.

Running In Snow, A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent. This was a novella made up of two short stories that take place on Christmas and New Years Eves. My only issue with reading a novella is that I never get enough.
Noelle’s Promise Noelle has vowed not to celebrate the holidays again except now she has Logan in her life. Now she will be spending Christmas with Logan and his family. Can her holiday be happy or will her memories come back and ruin it for her.
Eve’s Hope Eve doesn’t like New Years, it is always an unlucky night for her. When an unforeseen incident happens and she end up at her neighbors before midnight,will this be a New Years Eve to remember or will her bad luck strike again?
This novella was a quick, wonderful read. I enjoyed it a lot.

2 short novellas by Renee Regent will leave you with a smile on your face. Both of these novellas are sweet happy reads just in times for Christmas that you will love
Noelle has had a rule to never celebrate Christmas since she was a little girl. She never does gift exchanges with friends or coworkers but this year she was invited to her boyfriends family celebration. She feels a bit uncomfortable for a little while until the moment arises and she goes running. To many memories are brought back to the surface and she cannot handle it. Will she make it back to Logan and have a happy ending or was this trip a big mistake. Loved this book. Loved the characters…and you will too!
Eve’s Hope Last year Eve had a horrible New Year’s Eve so this year she plans on staying home in comfy clothes watching an X-Files marathon. Now she finds herself bundled up in her warmest clothes including a parka because she has no heat and no one is able to come fix it for her. Suddenly, her hot neighbor knocks on the door and invites her over to his house for a little get together. She wants to decline because it is a last minute invite but at least he has working heat. The last person she expects to see over at Kirks house is a guy she had spent a night with not to long ago. She tries hiding from him but somehow he found her and was harassing her about getting together again. Can this New Year’s Eve get any worse? Sure it can but it can also get a lot better.
2 great reads you will be glad you read. Renee Regent is an amazing author and these novellas are no different from her great writing style.

This is a short book with two holiday stories inside. They are both quick reads with interesting characters. One covers the Christmas season the other New Years. Both ladies want to stay home and not celebrate. But the wonders of the holiday season are against them.
I enjoy books like this for the winter. They give me a light hearted feel and who doesn’t want to smile during the season

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is getting to devour sweet and soul-warming novellas that center around the magic of the season. Running In Snow: A Holiday Novella, is just that. Two heart and soul warming short stories that bring to life the promise of hope. I loved that these books were taken from the experiences of the author and spun into the stories. It made them seem just a little bit more magical.
Noelle’s Promise: This lovely novella brings us the story of Noelle. Noelle has a history of bad Christmas memories and is determined to avoid celebrating the holiday forever. Things soon start to look like that is not going to be an option since she has developed a relationship with her boyfriend Logan. Him and his family convince her to give it one more shot. Nothing of course comes easy and the past begins to rear its ugly head. Will Noelle run and avoid the feelings that come to head or will she face the past long enough to bury it and start anew? This was a sweet and short novella, almost making me want a tad more. I think a lot of that has to do with how much I enjoyed Noelle’s character. I feel like she has even more story in her, or just maybe one with a tad more detail, but for the holiday novella idea this covers everything.
Eve’s Hope: Eve of course is the main gal for this novella. She was a bit more light-hearted of a read. Even doesn’t enjoy New Year’s Eve, in fact she thinks the whole thing is just jinxed for her and she does everything in her power to keep herself in a safe and neutral space for this one evening. Of course we need a sweet twist to make that interesting so things don’t quite go as Eve had hoped they would. Will she be able to embrace the ideas of NYE and start new memories that will be worth celebrating? I think this one has to be my favorite of the two and again I would have to say I would love more of Eve as well.

Running In Snow: A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent was two beautiful and deep holiday reads. I would give these 2 stories a four out of five stars. I loved the emotional tales because they were perfect snippets into these characters. I felt like I was peeking in from a window on a specific time in these characters lives. I know novellas are supposed to be quick but I truly wish these two were longer. I loved the names, Noelle and Eve, they fit the books perfectly.

This is a super quick and easy holiday read. The holidays are always stressful, more so when you’ve suffered a traumatic event so close to them. In this novella, we have 2 stories-2 women, 2 holidays, 2 horrific past events. Each woman comes full circle and gets her happy ending after confronting the issues that keep her from fully healing. Great job. 5 stars.

I have read a couple of books from this author and they are always great. This book is two short stories that will get you into the holiday spirit. These stories got me hooked on this book and I couldn’t put it down. I read this book straight through. These stories are different but all about the same thing, hope.
Noelle has some very bad Christmas memories and that’s why she doesn’t celebrate it. She now has a boyfriend in her life that is taking her to see his family for Christmas. Noelle is scared that something bad is going to happen. She is doing just fine until all her memories come back and she runs. Will Noelle find peace or will her memories continue to haunt her?
Eve can’t stand New Years and she thinks she is cursed. So she stays home this year but that turns out to be not as good. Eve ends up at a party that can change her life if she lets it. She is at her hot neighbors house and she feels something she has not felt before. Will Eve have an unforgettable New Years or will it be even worse?

5-Stars
Running In Snow: A Holiday Novella by Renee Regent was a light romantic holiday read. I lost myself in this short collection and read it in one sitting. Noelle and Eve were amazing characters. I loved Noelle’s story the most and how she overcame her holiday trauma. It was such a sweet read. I enjoyed how despite her issues with Christmas, she pushed through for love. That story had a happy ending that had me bubbling over with joy. I really enjoyed this book and loved that it took me away from some personal holiday craziness. I highly recommend it!

The first one was a 3.5 read for me. It is about a woman whose past defines her present. It bothered me that this seemingly successful woman hadn’t dealt with her 8 year old self yet and lived in such an extreme state for so long.
The second story was a 5 star read for me. A classic holiday romance.
Both stories were quick and easy to read and while the first wasn’t my cup of tea, it was still a well written story. review by @mauraharper

Two heartwarming tales of love and redemption. And snow.
Noelle’s Promise
Does your past define the future?
Noelle has one cardinal rule─never, ever celebrate the holidays. But now she’s promised to spend them with her boyfriend, Logan, and his extended family. As the festivities begin, bad memories surface. She manages to suppress her anxiety and join in the celebrations, until an unexpected incident sends her fleeing into the night. Can she overcome her past before it ruins her future?
Eve’s Hope
Can a holiday be unlucky every year?
When her heater goes out in the middle of a rare Atlanta snowstorm, reclusive Eve accepts the invitation to her handsome neighbor’s party. Expecting to be bored to tears, she encounters a few surprises before the countdown to midnight begins. Can she survive just one New Year’s Eve without her bad luck kicking in?
A true believer in the power of love, Renee writes stories of mismatched people who beat the odds to be together. Whether fighting the supernatural or their own inner demons, her characters will always find their way to a happy ending.
Renee lives in Atlanta with her husband, three cats and four turtles. When not working or writing, she can be found sitting on her deck enjoying nature. Wine may or may not be involved….

This is my third book by this author and once again I loved it..I think my favorite part right now is that I read it when the holidays are approaching and it seriously helped me get into the spirit. Of the two short stories I think Noelle’s Promise was my favorite. It was a story full of alot of feelings and my heart went out to her all the way through. Although quite short and I would have loved a lot more it still felt like a full and complete story. I loved how patient Logan was throughout and his family was awesome!
I also enjoyed Eve’s Hope but did not connect to that quite as easily, that one felt a bit rushed and before I knew it I was done..I think I’d have loved that had there been more story involved. I did really like the fact that one story focussed on Christmas and the other New Years.
I read this in one sitting and can not wait for more from this author.
