About this ebook

A secret threatens to consume her…

A man who challenges everything…

A connection so strong nothing will ever be the same.

Amber has always been in control. Of her high-powered career, her social life (or lack thereof), and well…pretty much everything. At least that’s what everyone thinks. So, when she finds herself back in her hometown, she’ll do anything to keep up the pretense. Including lying to her best friends.

‘Little’ Logan Myers has grown up since high school. In all the right ways. And the first time Amber runs into him in town, sparks fly—but not in a good way.

She’s opinionated, controlling and overbearing. But there’s something else—a vulnerability Logan’s pretty sure no one else has seen. Amber has secrets, and a deep hurt that he’s sure he can help her get past. If only she’ll open up.

After a lifetime of maintaining tight control an unexpected and overwhelming connection to Logan threatens to turn Amber’s life upside down. She can’t let herself get too close or trust too much, because if she does, the secrets she’s been keeping could ruin everything.

Ratings and reviews

Sweet, is the only word for this newest book. This read is so sweet, it makes my teeth hurt. That said, the story line is a good one. This is a second chance novel, not in the classic sense but as a chance for change and to move forward. Personal demons are real, they are abusive and everyone has a personal demon of one type or another. This story touches on the very surface of abuse issues. It is a light, sweet (there’s that word again) read, enjoyable. Put your feet up and enjoy.

After two books in the Timber Creek series, I admit I was a little more than curious about what was going on with Amber. She's powerful, she's ambitious, she's goals personified. But I knew there had to be more to her than meets the eye because no one can have it all together all the time. Amber and Logan have incredible back stories that I wasn't at all expecting. The strength and perseverance that they both showed in picking up and moving forward was pretty inspiring. I loved them, both individually and together. The one thing that I didn't like much in this book was Christy, the MC from When We Were Us. I loved book two in this series but the way that Christy treated Amber toward the end of this book was just so disappointing. I'm really excited for Drew to get her own story and whatever comes next for this great group of friends!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

OMG! Elena Aitken has really done it. When We Began is a phenomenal read. So captivating and riveting. Definitely a page turner. I love, love, loved Amber and Logan's story. I cried a lot and laughed and had heartswooning moments. When We Began took my breath away. I felt as if I belonged in Timber Creek. I found myself being able to relate to the characters struggles. The secondary charachters were just as amazing. This is one for the books. The most captivating and memorable book ever. It should be a New York Times bestseller. Kudos Elena Aitken on a sensational and memorable read.
