Time & Time Again

Just when I think A. Winchester can't write another book that will hit me as hard as the last one, she does! This story hit right in all the feels. This is a story that will be forever etched into my heart and soul. Maverick and Harley's story is one of boys broken by their lives finding that their shattered pieces fit together in a soul deep way. But this is also a story of "right person at the wrong time" told in 4 parts. Their story is emotional, even painful at times, and beautiful in a way that is so real. Their love and journey was truly breathtaking to witness. Their story highlights how abuse and generational trauma can manifest across the spectrum of life and how it can breed in places you never see. It knows no income or geography. It can live in the darkness hidden behind silver spoons and in the light cast by anger and poverty. It can show up as bruises or in the quiet panic of a"perfect" life. We watch their journey start as broken boys grow into men and try to navigate through life holding onto anger, anxiety, and their pasts. Struggling with their self worth and the ability to live a life beyond just survival. It is messy and raw. It is emotional in every way. It makes for a very hard fought HEA. You will fall in love with these men. You will cry with them and for them. You will root for them. You will laugh and smile. It is impossible to not be sucked into their orbit. The side characters will engrain themselves just as deeply as they become such integral…

It's difficult for me to talk about what I loved about Maverick and Harley without giving away spoilers. So, I'm going to try to describe what I loved about this story while also being vague as to not spoil it for someone else. Maverick and Harley are meant for each other, but since the moment they met they've had an uphill battle with life getting in their way. Anytime they are near each other they get drawn back in, not able to resist the pull of the connection they formed. Even through their heartache, betrayal, secrets, and lies, they still somehow managed to make things work in the end. I loved how this story showed these two men at different stages in their lives, I thought that was such a beautiful way to write about them and to show how much time passed between each time they met. I also liked how this story focused on the importance of forgiveness and working on yourself. Both of these men had a lot to work through, Harley had to try to unravel all of the destruction his mother caused, while Maverick had to try to untangle the trauma his brother and mother caused him as well as coping with what Harley's mother did as well, along with trying to deal with Harley's betrayal. I thought all of the stages of their love story was beautiful, sure it didn't work out the first two times they were in each other's orbit, but that last stage? The one where they knew who they were as well as getting to know each other again? That was so profound and immensely beautiful. I do…

♾️⭐️’s Wow… 😮‍💨 I’m trying to find the words to truly express what this book was. Just…. THE FEELS 😭😭!! This story truly encompasses the beauty and pain of meeting “the right person at the wrong time”. We follow Harley and Maverick through different times in their lives, written in four parts, where the concept of “you’re the right person but the universe chose the wrong moment for us” remains true. Their love and journey was truly the test of time. I would like to start by saying “People who were raised on love see things differently than those that were raised on survival.” That’s an important concept to remember with this book. Abuse knows no income bracket. It does not discriminate & comes in many different forms. Throughout this story, we watch two broken kids turned men, navigate the struggles of abuse, generational trauma, survival, self-worth, and love. Every twist, turn, and tear was worth the journey to their hard earned and fought HEA. Harley Lowell… the way I want to wrap him up in a bubble and fight all those responsible for his trauma. Harley’s story proves to you that abuse truly knows no income bracket. Anxiety doesn’t care about how much money you have or what your environment looks like. To watch Harley truly FIGHT for his HEA (not just romantically), and become the man he was always meant to be, warmed my heart & healed pieces of me. I was like a proud mama watching this man fall, stumble, but get back up again. Maverick Fox… God, what I hope…

💙 Time and Time Again by A Winchester 💙 i could seriously write my own novel about this book. so many tears were shed. but i also laughed, i blushed, i just FELT. not a lot of books make me feel so deeply like this one did, but.. man. i think Maverick and Harley’s love story has become one of my favorites ever. i love that their story is split up into 4 parts, so we get to see how much they change over time and see that no matter what awful things may come their way - their love is inevitable. when we meet Mav and Harley in part 1, they are 18 and in high school. Mav is the bad boy, Harley is the anxiety-ridden rich boy. when Mav finds Harley in the bathroom having a panic attack, he does the one thing that starts it all: he kisses him. from then on, Mav begins to open up Harley’s mind to things he may have never even thought of. in part 2, when they are 23, all i can think about is food and spice 😏🔥 well, and heartbreak 💔 have you ever thought about having whiskey in your cereal? Mav does. add in pancake tacos, drunken brownies in a mug and Harley’s first s’more experience to that. this is also when they get to know one another’s bodies and can’t keep their hands off of each other.. until disaster strikes (thanks to the worst mom ever) and they are forced to split- in the most heartbreaking way. part 3 comes when they are 29, and trying to navigate life as adults. Mav is sober, Harley’s miserable, and they haven’t seen each other since the split. because the…

I am not sure where to even begin to describe how I feel about this book. This is a story about love, trauma, grief, healing and rebuilding. Told in four parts over the span of 18 years, the story of Harley and Maverick will live in my soul forever. What stands out the most to me is the connection that Harley and Maverick have, you can feel it. They are inevitable. No matter how dark their worlds get, the love they have for each other is always present. The twists and turns of their relationship will have your emotions running at an all time high with the will they get it right this time!? Maverick with his beautiful heart and kind soul. He was dealt the worst possible start to life and through a lot of hard lessons, dealing with his anger, sobriety and finally allowing good people in his life is able to rebuild himself into a great man who has so much love to give. The love he has for his found family is so beautifully written. And his love and compassion for Harley is raw, pure and never ending. Not to mention his dirty, dirty mouth too... oh my so hot!! Harley just wants to be seen and not dismissed. His toxic relationship with his family is so heartbreaking. He is a puppet in his mother's quest for what is proper. He is kind, gentle and the unconditional love he has for Maverick is so consuming. Seeing him work on his anxieties and give himself the grace to allow help and change is amazing. The strength and love he has for his daughter ensuring she has a beautiful…
