About the Book

Book: Love Again

Author: Ann Marie Bryan

Genre: Christian fiction (Romance)

Release date: December 8, 2022

Sometimes, all you need is a second chance at love.

Let the adventure begin …

Rylan McIntosh was twenty-three years old when Savannah McKenzie shattered his world. Everything was almost perfect … until she disappeared. Nearly seven years later, Savannah stands before him with not a hint of remorse. The naive young girl is gone and the woman in her place is at the top of her game. She’s all glam in a tailored suit, acting like they were nothing more than mere acquaintances. But she’s forgotten something—how relentless he can be.

Having experienced more than her fair share of tragedy, the last thing Savannah wants is to contend with Rylan. Back then, she’d surrendered to her feelings for him and conceded to his request for a relationship … well, until she was forced to flee. Seeing Rylan again stirs up buried memories she has no intention of reviving.

All bets are off as they battle through the hurt and pain of their shared past. Savannah begs for a truce and, surprisingly, Rylan agrees. That’s until he discovers a web of secrets and lies that run deeper than he could have ever imagined. Still, some connections are too powerful to ignore. Will Rylan and Savannah develop the courage to leave the past behind? Will they allow God to restore what has been broken?

My Thoughts:

Love Again brings us back to the lives of the McIntosh brothers and this story focuses on Rylan the youngest. He and his brothers run a very successful business, he is attractive, and all the women want to be with him, life is looking pretty good. Or it should be. Rylan is happy for his brother's upcoming nuptials; he just cannot seem to find the right wife for himself. Or he found her, and she left his life unexpectedly, without explanation, and no contact seven years ago. Savannah was the one he loved and the one he wanted to marry. But she hurt him deeply when she ran away. He has never received closure.

Savannah is now a successful businesswoman doing her best to move forward without looking back. She has had many blessing in her life, and those she tries to keep focus on, not the heartbreaks. But when her business comes into business with Rylan's, well drama is going to unfold and pretty quickly.

Savannah is keeping some major secrets and Rylan better hold on to his hat. The time for the truth to be revealed has come, and I don't think anyone is prepared for the consequences.

This was a great drama rich story that deals with family and lost love, second chances, and new beginnings. Rylan tries so hard to be the tough guy, but there were a few instances where my heart just broke for him. And Savannah, well she was dealing with feelings a lot of women have had to deal with at one time or another. These two needed one another and God's love to put them back together. I can't wait for older brother Pax's story.

More from Ann Marie

I am thankful that you are a part of this amazing Love Again tour. It was a pleasure to write Love Again, the highly anticipated second installment in the McIntosh Brothers Series. Intensely emotional yet beautifully romantic, Love Again is a deeply moving story about faith, courage, a second chance at love… and what it really means to be a family.

In this novel, you’ll witnessed the growing relationship between Rylan McIntosh and Savannah McKenzie as they deal with the pain of the past and develop the courage to leave it all behind. While romance and drama are happening in this novel, the central message is to stay the course as you pursue your purpose.

I pray Love Again strengthens your faith in the Lord, and that you will be “… confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 (NKJV). God has a way of moving through time to ensure that all things work for our good. Whatever season you’re in, may God continue to bless and keep you.

Thank you for touring with me and for taking the time to read Love Again. Stay victorious.
