I don't often read women’s romance novels but when I do, I always enjoy a well-written and intriguing love story that hits my emotions in all the right places. Paige Toon’s “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” was a perfect example of this for me, which had me smiling with happiness and tearful with emotional turmoil. About 75% of the story is told from Wren’s point of view and the narrator’s interpretation of the character was a seamless fit. Loved her voice tone. When we begin getting Anders’s point of view, it’s at a pivotal point in the story and the narrator brought the right level of angst, sadness and tone I was hoping to hear. Both delivered great performances. Oh my GOD. This book! Only Paige Toon can make me believe in the power of love this way….It has everything: family, love, secrets, sexy descriptions of brooding, hot men…just sublime.”—Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop and The Love Square My mother has always told me to trust my instincts. But it’s hard to trust your instincts when they’re breaking your heart. A moving, remarkably romantic and emotional novel written by one of the only writers who can make me cry! Paige Toon continues to weave the most beautiful, deep stories, and Only Love Can Hurt Like This is her at her absolute best' Lia Louis

I was therefore really pleased to have the opportunity to read her latest novel ahead of release. Only Love Can Hurt Like This is due to be released on 27th April 2023.

This is going to be totally massive, because it has everything: family, love, secrets, sexy descriptions of brooding, hot men… just sublime’ Laura Jane Williams The split family dynamics and how feelings can be felt but maybe not seen as reason when talked about (read book for the answer to that sentence). I was trying to wait to read this book closer to pub date… like in 2023… but I couldn’t contain my excitement and I devoured this!! Paige Toon has this way of writing stories that are both lighthearted and heart breaking at the same time and the book hangover right now is real! One night after getting wasted in a bar, Wren meets her dad’s neighbour’s son Anders. It’s a relatively brief meeting but Wren feels herself drawn to him. There’s definitely a connection. However Anders is dealing with his own grief, after losing his wife four years ago.After a heartbreak, a woman visits family in Indiana to reevaluate her life and maybe even find new love. After realising her fiancé is in love with somebody else, Wren is devastated. Feeling broken hearted and unsatisfied with her job, Wren decides to take a break and visit her father and his family in Indiana. Wren has never felt like she belongs in her father’s new family but hopes that time there will help her heal. In the spirit of Colleen Hoover and Jojo Moyes's Me Before You, an unforgettable and heartbreaking love story with an earth-shattering secret at its core that asks the question: is love worth risking everything for? And, there is NOTHING that I enjoy more than to see two likable people who have experienced great loss and pain, find each other and come out on the other side.
