In this fun and tropey modern romance novel, readers join Eve Cassidy five years after a major breakup with the man she thought she would marry when Guy Foster, her ex-fiancé, has had a serious accident and has kept her as his next of kin. Unwilling to leave him alone in the hospital and in the early stages of recovery, Eve decides to help out, and Foster is in for a shock when he sees her at his hospital bed offering to share her one-bedroom apartment with him. Definitely with unfinished business and a fraught history to deal with over weeks in close quarters, Eve and Foster have a second chance at a happy ending in this steamy second-chance romance novel. The characters, their complicated history, and the drama will draw readers into this new title, and the alternating perspectives give readers a chance to see both sides of this narrative develop over the course of the novel. With so much happening and tropes galore throughout the novel, readers will love the character dynamics and the shared history that Brown did an excellent job developing for this novel. Well-written, steamy, and romantic, readers will love Brown’s latest novel and the characters’ relationship.

A very enjoyable read with great character development, despite a predictable storyline. Was a slower read as it didn’t have me completely hooked but I would still recommend to anyone looking for an easy romance read.

Ah I love a romance with a happy ending, but also a book that didn’t need spice to make the spark electric. I think I even fell in love with foster a little bit after the book. I hope the story continues as I want to know if they have kids themselves and go the distance. Well written, superb story and pace was just right.

This was a beautifully written second chance romance that captured my attention from the start.
I really liked the characters of Eve & Foster and I was really rooting for them throughout. The storyline of the book provided a forced proximity that definitely opened the characters up to each other. I really liked them individually and Foster was just so perfect 😍. Eve was such a strong character and this was portrayed through her actions and I was so emotional on her behalf at times.
I liked how the book was written in different points of view, which gave us better insight into the characters, as well as their thoughts and feelings. I also really liked the flashbacks to the past, which gave background to their relationship and a better understanding for the reader.
This was the perfect romance to curl up with, offering swoon worthy characters and a second chance romance that has you cheering at the sidelines.

This is just the perfect cosy and cute read.
I loved the originality of this one - it's not usual to have a romance novel explore the concept of lost love and the hopefulness of rekindling a relationship that didn't work the first time round.
Aimee Brown is an expert in description - I felt like a giggling fly on the wall watching the scenes play out in my mind which allowed me to finish the book in 24 hours (it would have been much sooner if I didn't have other responsibilities, I promise you that).
Loved it, nothing more to say apart from that I'm going to be thinking about this one for a while. <3

Still the One is a second chance, closed door romance by Aimee Brown. When Guy Foster ends up in his ex's ER, he has the chance to reconnect with the one who got away. This is a solid romance for lovers of the genre.
Many thanks for the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me.

This is my first read by Casey Dembowski & it won’t be my last! It was love at first read for me with The First Love Myth. I embraced the perspectives of the three sisters in the chapters. This page turner with sisters dealing with emotional love stories as they navigate their complicated family relationships is a great book to start off 2025 reading!
Thank you, Casey Dembowski, Red Adept Publishing, Kate Rock, & Netgalley for my gifted copy! All opinions are my own.

I really loved this book! It's about a couple who break up, but reconnect with each other because of an event. Eventually they grow back together. I do recommend this book if you like this genre!

Thank you soo much Netgalley for this gem
🥺🥺🥺🥺 the most adorable second chance I have ever read !
I cried and laughed....Guy is the GUY and Emma is extremely sweet. This book is definitely for all the Abby Jimenez readers. The rush and thriller in the ER is something every doctors and related and seeing our loved one....gives us tremors....the extremely well written relations, emotions and the banter touched my heart and is definitely a story which is gonna live rent free in my mind!!
Amiee Brown !! All the love and support to you 😁😁😍😍

This is a feel-good cosy romance.
The characters are gorgeous and obviously crazy for each other despite breaking up years earlier.
Eve is a nurse - she's professional, dedicated and everyone loves her. Guy is a Motocross riding adrenaline junkie. They married after a short, whirlwind romance which ended just as quickly. When Guy ends up in Eve's ED after an horrific accident, the couple have the chance to get to know each other again, address old grievances and rekindle the spark between them.
This is a sweet book - low on spice but high on romance.

I had high hopes for this, however I found myself unable to connect with any of the characters. It was written well but I don’t think it was the right book for me.

Still The One is the first book I’ve read by Aimee Brown. This book was a heartwarming second chance at love novel that is told in dual POV as well as present and past timelines.
Eve is a trauma nurse at Oregon Health and Science University and Foster is a freestyle motocross rider. Five years ago, Eve and Foster got married after 30 days of knowing each other. Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right and their relationship did not work out. However, every year on their anniversary (September 27th), Eve and Foster will silently check Facebook to make sure that the other person is okay.
One day, on September 27th, Foster is rushed to the Oregon Health after a horrible motorcycle accident and ends up in Eve’s ER room. Eve finds out that she’s still listed as Foster’s emergency contact, which was surprising to her because they had not spoken since she left five year ago. Both Eve and Foster can’t help but think that running into one another might be fate.
Once released from the hospital, Eve takes care of Foster due to him not having anywhere else to go as he lives in Florida. While Foster is recovering in Eve’s home, they finally get a chance to talk about their past, what went wrong and why their relationship did not work out the first time around. Aimee Brown did an amazing job with giving the characters depth and showing their vulnerable sides.
This novel is the perfect example of how it’s never too late to give someone a second chance. Love and relationships will always take work and mistakes will inevitably be made, but fighting for who you love is always the most important.
Thank you so much NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book offers a fresh premise and smooth writing, showcasing Brown’s knack for unique storylines. While the second-chance, slow-burn romance carries emotional moments—particularly the heartbreaking airport scene—the character development felt shallow, with unresolved growth even after years apart. The flashbacks lacked depth, leaving a void in understanding the pivotal moments of their relationship. Side characters, apart from Phil and Gen, were frustrating, often pushing Eve toward decisions rather than supporting her heart. Despite being marketed as a “deliciously hot romance,” it’s a quick, easy read with little spice. Three stars. Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC!

I like the concept but unfortunately it wasn't the biggest hit for me - it was sweet and you definitely rooted for them but I needed to be more attached!

"Still the One" by Aimee Brown is a heartwarming romance novel about two childhood sweethearts who reconnect after years apart.
Here's why I liked it:
Easy to read: The writing is smooth and enjoyable.
Relatable characters: You'll easily connect with Ethan and Lily.
Sweet and hopeful: It's a feel-good story about second chances.
I recommend this book to:
Fans of romantic stories
People who enjoy stories about overcoming challenges
Anyone looking for a heartwarming read
I hope you enjoy it!

I really enjoyed this book
Five years after their break-up, Eve still hasn’t found a reason to believe in true love. But when Foster has an accident and she discovers she’s still listed as his next of kin, Eve knows she can’t let him wake up in hospital with no one by his side. After all, those devilishly blue eyes have always been hard to say no to…

this is my first book by aimee brown and this will definitely not be my last. I really really enjoyed the second chance romance in this book and think that everything about this book was amazing. I enjoyed the characters and think that everything about this was perfect.

This book was a sweet read and had full humor on display! Our characters come together after a serious accident, we follow them through the last five years that have changed them, and watch them find their way. From ex-fiancés to divorce papers, it was a fun read!

Absolutely brilliant book!
I am a big fan of this author and love the writing style!
I cant wait to read more!

Good for fans of Sarah Adams, but ones that are okay with open door romance. This is a second chance romance where I just didn't see why he would want a second chance so badly. The FMC was immature and whiny. She hadn't grown in the decade they were apart. Also, I hate complications that are simple miscommunication. I thought their origin breakup was too nothing to inspire so many years of vitriol. The writing was cute and I liked the MMC. 2 stars. Thanks to Net Galley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
