If Only You Knew by Stefanie Castro is now live!
Shane promised Becca forever, and all she got was heartbreak upon high school graduation.
There was no tomorrow without Shane Philips by Becca’s side. That was until Shane abruptly breaks up with Becca, leaving her alone to face a future without the one person she had grown to love. Learning to maneuver through life after being Shane’s girlfriend since they were fourteen, Becca never imagined an existence that didn’t include them being together.
The pain Becca was left with goes beyond anything she ever expected. Much like life tends to do, time passes and each of them grows into the adults they are today. They live independent lives for twenty-five years before Shane ends up on her doorstep unexpectedly, wanting to rekindle a love that he chose to walk away from. But can Becca truly let go of her anger and embrace what’s right in front of her all these years later? Most of all, can she forgive Shane for walking away?
This is a second-chance love story between two forty-something soulmates who lived entire lives apart only to find a chance to begin again. But when Shane finds out everything he missed, can their love last? If only he knew…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
If Only You Knew is an emotional second-chance romance that hits all the right marks in telling Shane and Rebecca’s reunion, 25 years after they split up the night of their high school graduation. They both have lived a lot of life in the years they were apart, and through a series of then and now chapters, we get the full range of their story: how they came together, what tore them apart, and how they navigate their reunion and a second chance at happiness.
I did feel that the situation with Shane’s mother was just kind of dropped — I would have liked to have gotten some kind of closure there. While Shane does confront her on her horrendous behavior, I wanted to see what kind of resolution Shane and Rebecca come to together in dealing with her after the fact. Aside from that, I really enjoyed Shane and Rebecca’s journey. This was a great debut romance novel from Stefanie Castro, and look forward to reading the next book in this series!
I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.
