Belong
Release Day: November 23
Synopsis
Ten years ago I fell in love with a married woman. I walked away so she could be happy, moving across the country to make sure I put space between us. We severed ties, and I promised myself I wouldn't look back.
Since then I committed to someone else, and we have a child and a life many would wish for. Except, it's never been enough for me. There's always been something missing; something I never wanted to admit.
With my own marriage failing, I'm forced to go back to my hometown to bury the man who raised me. I never expected to see her there, and nothing could prepare me for what would happen the moment my arms wrapped around hers again.
BECKY'S REVIEW:
Jennifer Foor is one of those authors I can go back to over and over. From her Mitchell Series to her Kin Series and yes even her Diary of a Male Maid, there is something for every single reader out there. I was sick so it took me two days instead of my normal one to finish a #FoorWhore book. However, that did not take away from the experience.
Belong definitely tugs at your heartstrings because here is a man trying in every single way to do the right thing. Sometimes, the ones we try to protect the most end up collateral damage. I am not saying that his wife isn't suffering an unimaginable pain. I'm just saying for two souls to finally become one after 10 years, someone is always bound to get hurt. Is it possible to love two different women in completely different ways? I 100% agree it is.
We pick up in Belong 10 years after Bereft. After Chad has left all he knew behind so his love can move on with her life, he too moves on with his. He's married and has a beautiful daughter. However a sudden occurrence has him returning back to what he never thought he would face again.
I am not going to lie. I cried, my heart broke, I was angry but in the end all the right decisions were made. I have read Every. Single. Jenn Foor book their is and this is right up there with my Top 3 favorites!

Excerpt:
"You have every right to assume this can't be anything more than a temporary affair. I don't blame you for being cautious, but there is something I want you to know."
She turned around, finally looking right at me with those hesitant eyes. "What?"
"I still love you." I swallowed the lump in my throat as the words came out, silently praying she wouldn't force me to leave. It wasn't every day that I told someone other than my wife I loved them, but in this instance it was the truest statement I'd ever made. "I feel like I've loved you for a lifetime. It’s true. I have loved my wife, but it’s not the same. It’s always been you, Rach. You’re the only woman I know I’ll never be able to let go of. Staying away was my only option. I did it to protect both of our lives, but there’s nothing standing in the way anymore. Please don't deny us a second chance." I paused one more time. "I need you, just as much as I think you need me."
Her shoulders relaxed, and I watched her purse fall from her grip and hit the concrete ground. She shrugged while staring into my eyes. Her lips were trembling, allowing me to almost sense the connection between us. "I'm not strong enough to be with you again. I can't handle anymore heartache. Being close to you scares me, because I’m tired of the pain and suffering."
I took two steps forward, breaking the distance between us. "I'm not capable of hurting you again, Rach. If you give me this chance I promise I won't let you down. Let me be your friend again, and whatever comes with it will be determined by both of us."
