Synopsis 

Same campus. Same memories. Same unfinished story.

The only thing Aubrey Vaughn ever wanted was Liam Anderson. At least, that’s what she used to believe.

Now, she’s back on campus for her final year at Delleth, determined to make the most of the time she has left—rooming with her cousins and focusing on the career she’s building in athletic training. But her plans to make this year different quickly crumble when she has to face the one athlete she knows best: her ex-boyfriend, Liam.

Liam was the star center of Delleth’s hockey team until a shattered leg and one mistake took everything from him. After a year away, the only goals he’s intent on scoring are completing his degree and putting his past behind him. That is, until he finds himself in the same clinical rotation as Aubrey, the only girl he’s ever loved.

Determined to protect her, Liam does his best to push her away, but they’ve never been good at staying apart. Their lingering attraction, that magnetic pull, drags them back together. Both are keeping dark secrets, trying to outrun the past, but when it finally catches up with them, Liam and Aubrey must decide if love is enough to survive the truth.

The Has-Been is the first book in the interconnected Delleth College series, which explores the lives of the vastly different Vaughn cousins. If you love the idea of a second-chance romance set on a snow-covered campus in northern Michigan, with exes-to-lovers, forced proximity, and chosen sisterhood, then look no further!

Review 

I received The Has-Been in return for an honest review from Rattle The Stars PR. 

It's Liam and Aubrey final year and if they can avoid each other they may just make it to graduation. However, sometimes fate takes a hand and tosses them into each others paths. They can't deny the attraction is still there and it looks like avoiding each other is impossible when they will be working together. Maybe a second chance is just what they needed as life has changed so much for them both. 

I love Aubrey she's a sweetheart I really felt like I was able to connect with her and Liam is such a great complement to her. They have this adorable chemistry that just works so well it's sweet and just the right amount of spice. I loved the supporting cast in the story as well and I can't wait to see more of them in the next book of the series. 

This is the author's debut book and I'm obsessed with Aubrey and Liam's story. I devoured this one in just one sitting and didn't stop till the very last page. The author has done a beautiful job creating engaging characters and a story that stole a little place in my heart. I loved every moment of the story and can't wait for the next book in the series. The author has quickly become one of my new favorite auto buy authors. Highly recommend if you enjoy sweet second chance romance.
