About this ebook

One woman must decide whether she can trust a complete stranger to protect her and unborn child from the threats of her past in this "touching modern romance" from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster (Library Journal).

Named one of the "Best Romance Books of 2018" by Bookbub!

As Darby Dixon sits in a tiny Texas church bathroom on her wedding day holding a positive pregnancy test, she realizes that marrying her fiance would be the worst decision of her life. She's never been very good at standing up for herself, but she'll sure as hell stand up for her baby. With very little cash and a ton of courage, she flees town to take a new name and start a new life.

As a Marine, Scott "Trex" Trexler worked in the most treacherous, corrupt, war-torn places on earth. With his new top-secret security job, he finally has a chance to return to the one place he's felt at peace: Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The moment Trex checks in at the hotel where she's working, Darby knows he's dangerous. He may want her to think he's another hotshot firefighter, along with all the others battling the nearby mountain blaze, but something doesn't add up. No way will she get involved with another man she can't fully trust - and Trex clearly isn't telling her everything. As Darby's ex gets closer and closer to finding her, both she and Trex will soon find out that what you don't know really can hurt you.

"This love story is raw, brilliant, and gives women hope in the impossible. Nothing is more precious than that." --Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Jamie McGuire writes with no holds barred ... real and addictive." --USA Today
"Heartfelt emotions, serious social concerns and exceptional character development result in a touching modern romance with inspirational overtones; a sure winner." --Library Journal

Ratings and reviews

***4 Stars*** Okay. This one kind of exhausted me. Not in a bad way...at least not totally, but lots goes on and some of the crazy, got really crazy. But within all of the craycray is a story filled with a lot of heart and a group of people that I ended up really liking and want to get to know a lot better. I liked Darby and Trex, I really did, but boy did these two put me through the wringer even when I couldn’t fault them for their feelings and reactions. Darby is a sweet, good woman who has had a rougher go of it than most in her short life. Her demons ride her hard and she has a difficult time seeing beyond them and the strength she truly has. Trex is a good man. Though his past has been a rough one, he’s come out of it with a strong sense of self and the ability to see people for who they are. He is a protector at heart and will do what is necessary to give those around him what they need. To say that Darby and Trex’s journey was a rocky one is an understatement because with all the secrets and white lies they have someone less strong would have drowned in them. The angst definitely comes out in force in one way or another and there were moments where I needed to take a break from them because even when I understood where the angst was coming from, it exhausted me, but even then I wanted to see them work through all the muck and be together because they worked for me and in the end I was happy with where they ended up. Since this is a first in series, a spinoff ~ but still a first ~ there is a lot going on, and at times it was a bit overwhelming, but I still really enjoyed it. The secondary characters were all well written and I loved getting to know them and am looking forward to getting to know them better as the series progresses. If you’ve read the Maddox series, you’ll love catching up with a few of the family in this one, and if you haven’t (like myself) you won’t feel lost, but will more than likely want to check out their books after reading this baby. The crazy in this is kind of high and the triggers are real, but it all worked out for me and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing who the next book will be about! ~ Copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley & voluntarily reviewed ~

I absolutely loved every single part of this book! From the moment we met Trex and Darby earlier in the Maddox brothers series, I was intrigued. When McGuire announced these two would be getting their own book I was beyond excited! A small town girl with a big heart finds herself in a truly difficult situation with no choice but to start over. You’ll be rooting for her from the very first page! Love at first sight, drama, mystery, additional glimpses into past books, and fun characters all come together to make one page-turning story! Can’t wait to see what else comes with the series.

Maddox family reunion? Sort of. From Here to You has some familiar faces and more stories to chase down. Jamie McGuire definitely wanted us to be teased, tranquilizer, and begging for more. I'm desperate for scraps even. From Here to You is a second chance, runaway bride, and all around sweet story. It has some terrible circumstances but it is a truly wonderful story. A "perfect" love story. I'm just going to omit the details...that way you feel right at home. Whether or not you are up to date on all things Maddox, you will definitely feel a need to be or find out more. So enjoy the visits from friends, love the sneak peeks, and hold your breath for more. Or breath but cross your fingers for more?! Yeah, that's seems more reasonable.
