Product Information

Wren’s fiancé left her for another. Ander’s wife passed away years ago. Neither of them are ready to start again but fate doesn’t sync people’s struggles with the opportunity of a lifetime. If only there wasn't a secret ready to destroy all their dreams. And, there is NOTHING that I enjoy more than to see two likable people who have experienced great loss and pain, find each other and come out on the other side. Paige Toon has been an auto-buy romance author for me for years. Year after year, I saved her latest book for my summer holidays and couldn’t wait to dive in. What I love most about her stories are those little snippets she always throws around. Those snippets usually are a puzzle that suddenly shows one or more plot twists when you see the bigger picture. So, when I got her latest book as an ARC, I couldn’t wait to start reading. This book is a delicious, slow burn love story that hit me in parts of my heart I didn't even know I had' Annabel Monaghan Read more Details

I received an ARC from Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The author is known for writing gutwrenching novels, and hits the mark again with this wonderful tale' The Sun Overall, I really loved feeling like I was part of the book, that I was meeting with real friends and not characters made to entertain me. The problem was a bit too dramatic for me, but at least the blurb hinted it would be. Guess I’ll be reading more contemporaries in the future because Paige Toon’s pen is not one I want to ignore now that I’ve found it. Emotional, angsty, and utterly romantic. This story will have you wiping away tears one moment, and smiling dreamily the next' Mia Sheridan

Success!

Paige Toon grew up between England, Australia and America and has been writing books set in sun-drenched locations around the world since 2007. She has released thirteen novels and a three-part spin off series for young adults.

In the spirit of Colleen Hoover and Jojo Moyes's Me Before You, an unforgettable and heartbreaking love story with an earth-shattering secret at its core that asks the question: is love worth risking everything for? Romance novels are all about the journey for me and I enjoyed the journey in this book. There are several journey's in this book - not all of them the romantic kind. I was therefore really pleased to have the opportunity to read her latest novel ahead of release. Only Love Can Hurt Like This is due to be released on 27th April 2023. The writing was powerful, the story intriguing. Overall an impactful and thought-provoking read, at times heartbreaking. The title sounds familiar, like a recent song. In an effort to get over her heartbreak she decides to visit her Dad and step family who live in America.

Wren is devastated when she finds out her fiancé is in love with someone else, so she decides to travel across the Atlantic with the hopes that spending the summer with her dad, stepmom and half sister will help her heal her broken heart. While staying on their farm in Indiana, she meets Anders who lost his wife four years ago and is struggling to move on. When Wren realises her fiancé is in love with someone else, she thinks her heart will never recover. I loved the dynamics of these characters, from feeling on the outside, to being engulfed by so much love.

Emotional, angsty, and utterly romantic. . .This story will have you wiping away tears one moment, and smiling dreamily the next' Mia Sheridan I really enjoyed the location. It felt quite idyllic, as long as you don’t mind a few tornados! I could understand why Wren found herself wanting to stay. Wren leaves home and heartbreak to spend the summer with her father and step-family on their farm in Indiana, Midwestern USA. More than anything she hopes this trip will provide a chance to heal and build bridges. There Wren meets two brothers. Jonas is a notorious heartbreaker and Anders is still grieving the wife he lost in a tragic accident three years ago. In spite of being warned off falling for either of them, Wren is inextricably drawn to Anders. As the harvest approaches, Wren knows her feelings are growing stronger. What Wren doesn’t know is that Anders has been harbouring an earth-shattering secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone. Walking away from Anders will hurt Wren more than she can imagine. But how can she possibly stay once she’s discovered the obstacles that lie between them?Emotional, angsty, and utterly romantic. I was rooting so hard for these characters to get the happy ending they deserved. This story will have you wiping away tears one moment, and smiling dreamily the next.”–Mia Sheridan, author of Archer’s Voice and Travis But Wren does not know that Anders is harbouring a secret, and if he acts on any feelings he has for Wren it will have serious fall-out for everyone.
