To Be Loved Like That E-ARC sign up
Thank you for your interest in the E-ARC of To Be Loved Like That by Astrid Layne. 
To Be Loved Like That is book two in the Foxglove Ridge series. It is not a requirement to read book one (How Forever Feels) but it is suggested since those characters show up a lot in book 2.

To Be Loved Like That is releasing November 6th, 2026. I am hoping to get all E-ARCS out by October 9th, 2026 and would like reviews other than Amazon to be posted before the release date. 

PLEASE do not tag Astrid Layne in negative reviews.

Blurb:

Carter:

My world just fell apart. My sister was murdered and her husband is on the run. Now in the aftermath, someone needs to step up and raise their kids. So, here I am. A single man in his early thirties, living on the ranch I work and raising my niece and nephew. To say I am lost is an understatement. In other words, I don’t have time for myself let alone a relationship. That is until the most beautiful woman falls at my feet, literally. The instant her deep blue eyes look into mine, I am a goner. She is a runner, but I will do everything in my power to show her that she is worth it. That WE are worth it.

Archer:

I came to this small town to hide. I work at the bar, take care of my one eyed cat, Cow and spend time with my newest friend, Andi. That is it. Oh, and a roommate from hell. When said roommate forgets her lunch at home, I take the high road and bring it to her, not knowing that one wonky sidewalk would put me straight into his arms. Now I am in deep, not just with him, but with the kids he stepped up for. Unfortunately, my past doesn’t stay buried and running is the only thing I can do to keep them all safe. He says I am worth it, and once upon a time I may have believed him. What he doesn’t realize is they are worth so much more than what I can give.
