One year ago, Brody Scott made the biggest mistake of his life and has lived with his regret every day since then…

One year ago, Demetria ‘Demi’ Rosemead watched the love of her life turn his back on her, leaving her to face one of the hardest things she’s ever had to go through on her own.

So much has happened, and when Brody and Demi are forced to spend a week together after a year apart, they will be drawn back into the raw intensity of what they feel for each other. Only this time, Brody won’t walk away so easily…

But Demi is keeping something from him, and not only will she have to forgive him, but he will have to forgive her too…

Can they erase the time that has passed, and move forward? Or will Demi’s secret and Brody’s mistake keep them from their forever?

    Cried pretty much throughout this whole book. Emotions were running high.
    Loved that we still got to see a lot of Huntley and Grayson. Beautiful.

    This is the campion novel to beneath your beautiful focusing on Demi and Brody who featured quite heavily in the first book. I re-read the first book before reading this and I must admit I do believe you've got the read the first book to be able to enjoy this one, otherwise there would be a lot of missing bits to their overall story.

    The book focuses on them meeting again after being separated for a year. There's misunderstanding, pain, hurt, trauma and all consuming love, with you routing for the couple and their HEA.

    Where I loved the book, the reason I couldn't give it 5 stars like I did the first is that I just felt it took far too much of the book to get to the reunion of the couple; this is just one of my personal little book bug bearers, as I like a good bit of the book with couples together. This has not put me off recommending it or enjoying the book, and I definitely think it was a beautiful love story.

    Ever since I heard that Demi and Brody would be having their story told, I proceeded to jump around like a lunatic and facebook stalk Tamsyn Bester (guilty as charged). It can sometimes be difficult to pull off making a sequel as great as the first book, but Tamsyn Bester nailed it! From the word go ‘Begin Again’ just drew me in and had me so enraptured and invested in the storyline and characters that I would scream at people if they disturbed me during my reading time. My heart pounded as the story went on, and I wanted more than anything for Demi and Brody to get their happily ever after.

    The emotion with which Tamsyn Bester wrote Demi and Brody’s story just seeped off the page, I could feel the passion, love and devotion that went into these characters, making them seem very real to me as a reader. She very cleverly switched from past to present, breaking my heart with every little snippet of the past that had lead to Demi and Brody’s present separation.

    I loved the psychological aspects that were entwined so neatly throughout this book. Demi’s gradual development in accepting and moving on from the past, really nicely contrasted with Brody’s descent into confusion and devastation as he finds out about what has been kept from him, and how he hadn’t been there for Demi through her ordeal. I loved how Demi and Brody really had to work through their past and the pain that they had put each other through before they could even begin to think about starting over. The slow development of their forgiveness made it so beautiful and heartfelt to read, and made me really see the strength of their feelings for each other that they were desperate enough to save each other from more pain.

    What really made this story even more amazing was the great insight we had into Huntley and Grayson’s relationship in the future. Huntley is such a loving and kind-hearted person and I just admire her strength so much. I loved seeing the brilliant mother she was to Hunter, and seeing how well her and Grayson had adapted to parenthood. To see what happened after their happily ever after in ‘Beneath Your Beautiful’ was just such a gift, and had me grinning from ear to ear, and desperately wishing for my own happily ever after.

    ‘Begin Again’ was just a wonderful, heartfelt and beautifully written story. Tamsyn Bester is definitely an author to watch as everything she writes is just so heartfelt, pure and amazing.

    5+ stars!

    I loved the story of Brody and Demi, it's emotional and made me cry more than once. I really hated him at the beginning when he left her but by the end I liked him a little more, still think he treated her like s*** at times, but I guess the heart wants who the heart wants.

    Tortuous emotionally but as the characters are such great people on the edge of my chair shouting them on. Thankfully good sense prevails in the end. Ahhhhh!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Horrendously Edited.
    Reviewed in Canada on 24 August 2024
    The editing in this book is beyond horrendous. There are spelling, grammatical and continuity errors on almost every page. The fact that the author touts herself as an “editor” in her bio is laughable. The story itself is poorly plotted. The characters are weak and childish, the dialogue uninspired and infantile. Add in a remarkably unlikeable hero and heroine and this book becomes a complete waste of time.

    Reviewed in the United States on 8 July 2014
    This book followed nicely after book one. I was sad about the struggles that Demi had to go through. When Brody comes back it only makes things more difficult for her. She has had a hard time moving on, although there is some unfinished business with Brody. It was a great story that dealt with some difficult topics. I also enjoyed getting glimpses of Huntley and Grayson! It was well written...wished it could have been a little longer....but a good story overall!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good sequel
    Reviewed in the United States on 11 May 2014
    The synopsis of this book recommended you read the first in the series to have a background on the characters and better understand the story but I wouldn't say that's true. I did read the first book but it was awhile ago so of course don't remember what happened. Not remembering the first story didn't make this one hard to understand at all.
    That being said this was a fairly enjoyable, quick read. I do remember I enjoyed the first book more and wasn't that crazy about all the drama in this book. I do like drama and angst but not women who are constantly crying and Demi's hysterics got old pretty fast. All the loose ends were tied up pretty neatly so I get the feeling there won't be a third book.
