Sunny Shelly’s Review: From West, With Regret by Brittany Taylor

He promised he’d come find me… then I forgot that he existed.

A tragic incident robbed me of any memories I’d ever had before my fourteenth birthday, and I spent the second half of my life wondering if I’d ever get them back.

Years later, on the way to my late husband’s funeral, in a city I don’t know, I slip into a bar to prepare his eulogy on a cocktail napkin. Instead, I end up confessing all my ugly truths about my abusive marriage to the bartender, confident we’ll never cross paths again.

Until I see him a few hours later, sitting beside my husband’s casket.

Turns out Weston Knight isn’t just a bar owner.
He’s also my dead husband’s billionaire brother.

Mortified, I’m desperate to escape, but when West finally catches up with me and offers me a job in one of his many bars in New York City, I can’t find it in me to resist him.

Everything about West feels familiar. His voice. His touch. His kisses.
It isn’t long before he’s consuming my every thought, even in my dreams.

But the closer we become, the more I learn that West has secrets of his own. Ones that have led to a life of regret. And when the memories of my tragic past finally return, I realize that maybe, just maybe, I’ve crossed paths with this man before.

They say you should leave the past behind.

But what if the past is all I’ve ever wanted?

*From West, With Regret is an angsty, spice filled, ex’s brother billionaire romance. It is Book 2 in the NYC Billionaires Series and can be read as a complete standalone, however, it is recommended you read Book 1 first.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Oh my gosh, I cried reading From West, With Regret. This was such a haunting, beautiful, emotional second-chance romance! I have been itching for West’s story ever since we got a chapter from his POV in From Asher, With Love, and Brittany Taylor did not disappoint!

The book opens with London taking a detour into a bar on the way to her husband’s funeral. They were only married a short time; it was a toxic relationship, and she had never met his family. She strikes up a conversation with the bartender, spilling secrets about her marriage, having no idea that not only is he the owner, but he happens to be her late husband’s brother. Oh yeah… and because London has amnesia, she also has no idea that the guy behind the bar is her first love, West.

There are so many twists and turns in this book, and I loved the exploration into London and West’s connected past. How much they meant to each other once upon a time, how devastated he was to lose her when they were 14 and 15, and how painful it is for him to be so close to her now, yet not be able to tell her who he is.

From West, With Regret deals with some heavy topics: grief, domestic violence, family drama, and so much more. I was consumed with West and London’s story, and their hard-earned HEA was so worth it after all the tears I shed for these two!

This book is a standalone, but the supporting characters are all a close-knit friend group. I enjoyed the updates with Charleigh and Asher, and the tease for what’s ahead in the next book!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
