Title: Then There Was You
(So Much It Hurts Series Book Two)
Author: Melanie Dawn
Hosted by: The Book Avenue
Chris King never saw it coming…
In some ways, closing the book on my first love was
the worst day of life. I was gutted, and yet I was completely at peace with my
decision. I walked away knowing that I did what was best for her, unsure if I
could ever recover. Little did I know that one concert would change the entire
course of my life. There I stood, signing autographs and snapping pictures with
fans when a familiar face in the crowd catapulted my mind back in time—Salem
Honeycutt, once a balm to my pain and a calm in my storm. Yet again, her
smiling face gave me hope. Only one question remained: did she still see me as
a wayward teenage boy who was completely off limits, or could she see the man
I'd become…focused and driven, yearning for another chance at love?
For Salem Honeycutt, postpartum bliss seemed like a
lie...
No one told me that I’d hate my baby when I brought
her home from the hospital. No one told me that I’d want to put a pillow over
my husband’s head and smother him in his sleep. No one told me that I’d want to
slap every person who gave me the ever-so-cliché advice to ‘cherish every
moment.’ No one told me that I’d despise my life the minute I became a mother,
but I did. Then I met Chris King, the kid who made me want to pull myself up
from the dark recesses of my mind and face each day. This kid, whose passion
for life and talent for music, touched my soul deeper than I could ever touch
his. Chris gave me a reason to live. I was once affectionately known as Mrs.
H., Chris’s juvenile detention counselor. This is our story.
Review
4.5 stars. Okay after reading So much it Hurts I couldn't wait to read Then there was you and I was definitely not disappointed. This book just like the first pulled me in from the first page and I couldn't get enough. Salem and Chris have known each other for years but both live different lives. I love to watch Chris grow into an amazing swoon worthy man. To watch him and Salem find their HEA makes me ecstatic!! they are a two special people that both deserve happiness. This book was just an amazing make your heart smile read. I loved both books and am happy to have seen how the author has grown through her writing. I love that Salem and Chris were characters that you couldnt help but fall in love with. I cant wait to read more from Melanie dawn and to see what she has for us in the future!!

Author Profile
Melanie Dawn is a thinker, a dreamer, and a
hopeless romantic. When her head isn't in the clouds, she spends her time as a
jack of all trades to her family. Melanie resides in the hills of North
Carolina with her husband, her three children, and her cat. She enjoys lazy
summer afternoons cruising around the lake on the pontoon boat with her
family.
Melanie graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a BA in
Psychology and earned her MA in School Counseling from Appalachian State
University. She spent the first six years after graduate school as a middle
school counselor. Those were years she deems as some of the best years of her
life. That is, until she had children of her own. The last seven years have
been spent as a stay-at-home mom. She has learned some tough life lessons, like
what the inner absorbent pellets of a diaper look like scattered in the washing
machine. She has also learned the strength of the willpower of a two year old
lacking a nap. Through it all, Melanie has learned how to roll with the punches
and appreciate the time she has been able to spend at home with her
children.
Now that her last child has started Kindergarten,
Melanie is ready to add a new chapter in her life. That chapter begins with her
debut novel—So Much It Hurts.
