Before You Say I Love You

Unforgettable Love Stories, Book 2

By: Sarah Gate

Narrated by: Freya Parker

Maddie Whittle can't let go of the past.

Life hasn't been the same since she lost her brother six years ago. She keeps the grief boxed away, instead focusing on turning her family's estate into a recovery retreat.

So the last thing Maddie expects — or wants — is James Byron, a former schoolmate, showing up at her home in search of a runaway pig.

He's infuriating, stubborn and a walking contradiction — a man who has no time for Maddie yet refuses to turn his back on the scruffy rescue dog who follows him everywhere.

But she needs help. And he needs a job.

The only thing they can agree on is their mutual dislike as they find themselves embarking on a winter of renovation, working side by side.

But against her better judgement, and the fact they couldn't be more different, Maddie finds herself drawn to James more than anyone she's ever met.

Maddie and James are entangled in something neither of them expected — an unspoken connection, a spark of something real.

Maddie has been living life in her brother's memory. Can she find the courage to open her heart and live it to the full . . . this time, for herself?

From an award-winning author, this is a heartwarming story about finding love — or it finding you — in the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Cecilia Ahern, Nicholas Sparks, Shari Low, Amanda Prowse, Jojo Moyes or Holly Miller.

Loving

I didn’t like the long repeats but the overall story was great. I’m going through depression and this helped distract and give hope to life and dreams.

Not bad, not as good as the first

The story here isn’t bad but the characters and plots are a bit too sweet and earnest for my taste…

Loved it

Liked it. Sad at times. Bowie set up a match in heaven on his deathbed. How romantic

Pulled my heart strings

This book series had me rethinking the meaning of love and importance of nurturing relationships with friends, family and lovers.

love the Whittles

I loved both books in this series and I'm desperately and patiently waiting for a Pip story.
