Description

"A runaway winner! It is 5 am and I just finished reading! THE BEST IS YET TO COME has exceeded all my expectations! I had tears in my eyes while reading. I truly felt the love, the sense of community, and the strength of these characters." 5 stars 

Best friends. High school sweethearts. Passionate lovers. Once upon a time, Sarah Bartow and Calvin Vaughn were everything to each other. Until big dreams—and an even bigger tragedy—tore them apart. 

Ten years after good-bye, they're finally together again at Summer Lake in the Adirondacks...and the sparks between them are hotter than ever. Soon one kiss is turning into so much more. Not only breathtaking, sizzling lovemaking—but also deep, honest emotions that can't be denied.

Calvin refuses to let the ambitions and disasters that separated them a decade ago wreck them this time. Not when he knows for sure that Sarah is his one—his only—true love. He let her get away once. He won't make the same mistake again. Even if it means risking his entire heart, and every last piece of his soul, to show her they belong together now...and forever.

  • Beautiful Second Chance Love!

    I love this new Sullivan spin-off series. Calvin and Sarah reunite after 10 years and there's hope for a second chance of forever. They both have a lot of pain from their break-up that needs to heal. Sarah is still mourning the loss of her father. He was a very strong and influential force in her life. Sarah needs to understand what "reaching for the brass ring" means to her. Calvin has raised his sister since she was born due to some extremely tragic circumstances. He has put up a good front letting everyone believe he is beyond the pain, hurt and angry of the past, until Sarah comes back. As Calvin and Sarah begin a new relationship it seems that everyone in Summer Lake has an opinion about it. The cast of characters in this small Adirondack town are a very special group of people. They speak their mind. They are loyal. They are proud. They compliment the story of Calvin and Sarah. The secondary storyline of Olive, Sarah's grandmother and her first love Carlos, an employee of Olive's father back in 1941 is unexpected and poignant. It adds a dimension and parallel to Sarah's present day romance with Calvin. I recommend this book as a must read especially if you are a fan of second chance romances.

    What a sweet way to spend a lazy day, spending it with Sarah & Calvin. I very much enjoyed their story of love found, love abandoned, & love found & made stronger & better. The people surrounding them are also so well drawn that I wish I could know them myself. By all means, read this delightful book.

  • Another winning series!

    The Best Is Yet To Come is a wonderful read. It shows you how strong women can be and unfortunately how many don't even realize it. This author has the ability to paint with words so the reader can actually see the written picture. I recommend this book highly!

  • Wonderful author

    I love the way Bella Andre writes. I feel as if I know the characters and am a part of their world. The settings are amazing and easy for me to feel as if I'm there. Yet another incredible book!!

  • Beautiful long lost loves!

    A beautiful visit to Summer Lake. Sarah and Calvin are long lost high school sweethearts that are reconnecting after ten years. Sarah has come back to Summer Lake because of her job as a consultant. Learn through the novel what tore them apart and if the issues are still too large to keep them together. Calvin loves Summer Lake and his sister, will this be something that will not allow him to be able to reconnect with Sarah? Sarah not only takes the time in Summer Lake to reconnect with Calvin but also her mother and grandmother. Throughout the story there are some flashbacks by her grandmother, I personally was not a fan of the flashbacks but they did add some to the story - especially the importance of a certain carousel. This is a beautiful story of love and family and you will not be disappointed by this newest additional by Ms. Andre!

  • It can't get much better

    By Michealep
    This book had me so hooked from the first chapter, that I did not put it down until it was finished. It has just enough heat and raw emotion that you find yourself right there with the characters, being scared,wanting to run. First loves who get a chance to explain themselves and have a second chance . Bella is so talented , another great installment in the Sullivan series, but you could most definitely read this as a stand alone and not be "lost"!

    A heartfelt look at young love, tragedy, and learning to see yourself for who you are. The romance was so bittersweet at times...so many lost years; but true Love always prevails. If you love the Sullivan's, you will love the folks of Summer Lake.
