Strayed (Powell Sanctuary Book 2) Kindle Edition
On paper my husband checked the boxes.
1. Devastatingly handsome
2. Wild and carefree
3. And a skilled lover… if you know what I mean
But Corjan Powell was a bad husband.
I knew we both deserved more. We were too young to be saddled with a lifetime of resentment and regret. After a year of confrontations and no change, I didn’t even give him the chance to refuse divorce papers. One disastrous fight too far, I wrote him a note and I left.
“But Bree, what happened over those ten years?” you ask.
Resentment.
And regrets.
Until one random Sunday afternoon, I collide with someone in a crowded airport and look up into Corjan’s familiar, intense blue eyes.
I’m scared of my own reaction. The racing heart, the sweaty palms, the shock telling me I’m not over him. I do the only rational thing and escape as fast as I can onto my connecting flight.
The problem? I accidentally grab his cell phone from the floor and leave mine behind.
Now we’re a thousand miles apart and he has my entire life in his hands, and I have his in mine.
And we’re about to find out if there’s love left between us or if we strayed too far after all this time.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am loving this series. They are easy reads, but have enough depth to make you fall in love. The men own up and show up for their girls. Only if a small town like this excisted everywhere.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA second chance book. Now let me say that this story was sweet it had a lot of hopes and wishes. When your wife of 11 years is back in your life after she disappears 10 years ago all your hopes and wishes and dreams are coming to the surface. But it's just not you both parties are struggling with reality and what they're feeling and they want to move on together but they're scared and they don't know what to do. It's a great story with even better characters. The family dynamic is a strong one the support system they have is great. And the siblings together just make the story even better. It's not really spicy but but just enough space will be okay. On the scale of spice I give it a two or three.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThese books are just sweet. Like seriously just sweet books. Not really anything I can say negatively. They are fun, light, emotional, and so Hallmarky in a feel good way. Corjan man....whew, that man is H-O-T HOT!! The love he has for her is what most of us truly want. He held on even through his pain. Cannot recommend this book enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseCorjan is seen as a flirtatious man, the playboy of his small town. But it’s far from the truth, he’s always been for his wife and only his wife. After she left him he was distraught he couldn’t cope until he found a way to keep people off his back and having them feel sympathy for him. He let people believe he was a womanizer. Corjan, made mistakes, one he’s kept to himself and he did everything to correct them but it was too late he changed after the love of his life walked out after repeated pleadings from her to change and find something to love for other than being a free spirit.
Bree fell in love with Corjan at a young age married, married at a young age. She knew from the first time she saw him that he would be the only one. But she grew up while he stayed behind letting her take care of him and the household. She grew tired of being the only one that put thought into the relationship, she knew Corjan loved her with all his heart but he stopped showing her. He spent days being with friends and brothers while she did all she could to keep them afloat and try to live the life they both dreamed about. On her birthday the worst happened she saw no change and no will to try to show or do anything for the relationship - loce would not be enough, she would have to fend and find a bright future for herself so she walked away.
After 10 years they reunite. And a mistake was made that made them meet up which was good for them to settle things and get closure. But Corjan has other plans he wants her back - but Bree’s scared to go back - to be blinded by the love she feels - she defaults to her defensive mechanism and shields her heart not wanting to give in the the love of his life. Will they be able to move on ? Will she see that he’s changed even though it was after she left ? Will she give their relationship a second change.
I wish I could of got more of them. This story was quick which makes it easy to dive into it and eat it right up. But I wish I could of gotten more from them after they decided to give each other a second change. But I do recommend to everyone to read it was a fast, wholesome read. And it was great to get glimpse of the Powell family together again. Especially juniper and Courtney who’s are always sweethearts.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book reads got to me. They married at 18, loved each other deeply, but Bree carried almost all the load of their marriage.
Corjan hung out with his friends and Bree came home to a mess every night.
After trying over and over to get him to change he messed up arrangements for her birthday. She loved him deeply but couldn’t continue so she left, not leaving any indication of where she went.
Ten years later they run into each other in the airport.
Corjan never stopped loving her again took that as on opportunity to try to prove he was a better man. Really nice HEA.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseGetting married while you're young doesn't work very well if one of the partners hasn't matured enough ... after running into each other, "literally," a decade later, things get complicated!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseYeah this one hits too close to home. I mean, I'm not a successful and sought after interior decoratornlivimg in Vegas, clear across the country from my first love and estranged husband I walked out on ten years ago because he didn't actually hear my screams for help... But I am a mom and wife who feels more like the under paid, under valued hired help who's on the cusp of a life decision - so basically the same.
Excellent. Absolutely beautiful. My heart hurt for both Corjan and Bree. They loved each other souch but just weren't there yet maturity wise. A. M. could have made this into a "let's hate on men" story but she didn't. She gave both a fair shake. She gave them both growth and space and steam. Oh the steam.
Five out of five big bold stars

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI really enjoyed the second story in this series.
It was refreshing, a little bit different and I can’t wait to read the next story in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Run away wife…with heart
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIs it a second chance romance or is it an estranged married couple coming back together and learning that their time alert was needed and good for them..?
Either way I LOVED it. Cried and laughed which is basically standard for an A.M Wilson book.
- AlygatorReviewed in Canada on April 7, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Right person, wrong time
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis story was very much a beautifully executed take on finding the right person at the wrong time. Bree and Corjan might have fallen in love all those years ago, but neither where ready for where the other person was at in their life. When they first got married they both where so young. They both had a lot of growing. And while sometimes we can grow with the people in our lives... Other times we need to separate ourselves for our own sake. That was what Bree did. She was desperate for change. And she realized that no matter how much she might love Corjan - she needed to distance herself from him to really find her place in the world.
Without her leaving, who knows if Corjan would have had the swift kick in the booty to take responsibility of his life. Losing Bree gave him the motivation he needed to become a good, reliable man. Despite not knowing if he could ever find Bree, let alone convince her to give him a second chance.
Ten years have passed. They are both different people. While neither is by any means perfect, they are more prepared to stand beside each other through tougher times. They both have had life lessons that provided these tools.
Overall - a great story with enjoyable characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A second chance romance
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is the second book in the small town romance of the Powell family. It is a great second chance romance, with the right amount of spice. I can't wait to read the next book to see how the Powell family find love.
