Trading Yesterday: (A Second-Chance, Stand-Alone, Secret Baby, Sports Romance.) Kindle Edition

Trading Yesterday by Kahlen Aymes
5 stars!!!

“That’s what unconditional love is. You don’t get to choose.”

My favourite Kahlen Aymes book and I never knew I could EVER be disloyal to the Remembrance Trilogy. Emotional, with fantastic characters and heart tugging dialogue, this book will have you crying and smiling throughout. Such a stunning story. The ultimate second chance romance, every heart string will be tugged, every emotion felt and one love that truly lasts a lifetime.

“Do you think the life I dreamed of, didn’t have her in it?”

First love and true love, a love so powerful, a soul mate connection, love that when it works its euphoric and when it doesn’t…soul destroying. The only love that transcends it, is the love you have for your child and Kahlen Aymes regales the reader with an emotional story about both. Ultimate sacrifices made, friendships tested, love, forgiveness, reconnection and one gorgeous little family.

Kahlen Aymes will have you running the gamut of emotions as her story navigates the trials and tribulations of a young family battling childhood leukaemia. Every mother’s worst nightmare and when nothing works, desperation kicks in, even if it means re-hashing a past that left you broken hearted.

While I did not agree with some of Teagan’s actions, they were made from the heart with the sincerest of intentions. Young, naïve and hopelessly in love, left to make the toughest decisions, it was inevitable some may not be the right ones.

“You made your choices, now we’re all paying the bill. You didn’t believe in me at all.”

Chase, the hero of the hour in more ways than one. A man that would do anything for the love of his life even after six years apart. A man that would cross the world based on a heart-felt text message, even though the woman requesting his help left him on the brink of destruction, his heart in tatters. His propensity to forgive is truly tested and it doesn’t come easy.

Kahlen Aymes truly delivers on the emotion with this story. My heart broke for everyone involved, I cried a river, my heart was battered and bruised, not only for the little girl undertaking the toughest battle of her life but for the three main characters whose connection and friendship will be truly tested. Some of the most heart-felt scenes were between Chase and his best friend Jensen. These two men totally owned my heart and the dialogue between them was full of emotion, truly powerful and two particular scenes that had my rapt attention and played out in vivid technicolour as if I was watching it on the big screen. Stunning writing.

“My choices were ignorant and careless of the possible consequences. Despite my noble intentions, despite all the other sh*t that happened that made it impossible to take it back or change it…”

This was a story of love and hope, friendships and forgiveness, honesty and integrity. Yes, it was angsty, yes, it is a meaty read, but the story speaks for itself. This is a relatively long book, but it didn’t read that way. From first to last page my attention was held throughout. The character connection was on point, the dialogue was perfect, but the moral of the story is what made this book a winner.

Kahlen Aymes always write a good book, but her first trilogy has always been my favourite, until now. As much as I love Ryan and Julia, Chase and Teagan stole the mantle that they have held for over five years. I simply adored this book.

I just finished and I am speechless…… I have read 90 books this year, and NONE compare to this! OMG!

If you believe in real soul mates, the one you cannot breathe without or how you feel just to be in the same room with them. With one decision it all goes to hell and you feel like your missing the other have of your heart. Can that kind of love withstand lies and betrayal and the biggest secret that will change your life forever? This is the ultimate Love story and you will feel every emotion pos ...more

OMG!! This is my first book by Kahlen Aymes. Needless to say, it won't be my last. From the moment I picked up this book I could not put it down!! All the twists and turns with the plot and the emotional roller coaster you take while reading this story...I just cannot give enough praise. I definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone. I have already preordered Finding Tomorrow (Jensen's story) and cannot wait to read it.

WOW Kahlen has written another gut wrenching, emotional book, I will also add a tissue alert !
We meet Chase, Teagan, Remi & Jensen and learn about a secret that was kept to allow Chase to live his dream and play soccer for Arsenal in the English Football League.
Because of this secret hearts were broken and friendships destroyed until the day Chase receives a text from Teagan saying
"Please come A.S.A.P
Teagan"
I was hooked from the prologue and found myself glued to the book hopeing that they would be able to work things out once they were face to face.
You will need to read Trading Yesterday to find out what happens.

Kahlen has knocked it out of the park with this book so much emotion so many tears. Have your tissues ready.
Have you ever loved someone so much you were willing to let them go no matter the cost? You are willing to keep a secret from that person so he can live his dream.

This is a story about you never forgetting your first love and forgiveness.

He has the opportunity to play soccer for a professional team the only catch the team is in London. He wants to go and start preparing for their future. Just as this offer is presented Teagan has a secret of her own a secret she chooses not to share for Chase's own good.

Fast forward six years... Teagan needs Chase's help. Someone she loves is in trouble. She contacts Chase and begs him to come. What will he think? Will he come? Will he ever be able to forgive her? You will need to read to find out. I wish I could read this book again for the first time.

I have no doubt you will fall in love with these characters and their story. I did.
