  An angsty, love triangle romance from bestselling author, Micalea Smeltzer He was my first love, but it doesn’t mean he’s my last. I fell in love with Spencer when I was only a teenager.

  The Persistence of Thornes by Micalea Smeltzer is now live!  Hawthorne Mills is supposed to be my chance to start over with my brothers. Becoming their guardian wasn’t the plan, but I’ll do anything it takes to keep them from being put in the system. Even if it means raising two teenage boys when I’m only twenty-three. There’s one thing I don’t expect. Caleb Thorne. He’s literally descended from the founding family of the town and practically royalty here. And also my new neighbor. Which makes him privy to every screw up I make trying to navigate being a parental figure to my younger brothers. It should be easy enough for me to avoid him but he’s annoyingly persistent in wanting to help me. I call it pity even if he insists it’s not. The worst part is there’s undeniable chemistry between us and the more time we spend together the harder it becomes to resist. But nothing good in my life has ever lasted so I fully expect Caleb to be another of those temporary things. Especiall...

  When I met Thayer Holmes, I had no idea how much he would single-handedly change my life. Our journey hasn’t been an easy one, but it has been ours. We’ve fought through the impossible and come out stronger because of it. But happily-ever-after isn’t a destination. It’s a never-ending road trip with bumps along the way. Some bumps are bigger than others, but none of it matters as long as we have each other, right? My Review I have not read the other two previous books. So, I did not really get to experience Thayer and Salem's past, or what happened to Forrest, or Salem and Caleb. Yet, none of this mattered as I felt like I knew these two forever. Their love for one another was still so strong.  What Thayer and Salem share is relationship goal. They work so well together. The respect that Thayer and Caleb have for each other is great. I am so glad that Thayer and Salem got their HEA. Having loved this novella so much, I do want to go back and read the previous books.
