Terrific start to a promising series! Loved You Once is a great second chance romance with more chemistry than you can shake a stick at. It's also a brilliant introduction to the Alderidge brothers, and with a cast of characters like this, there's no way I'm missing out on any part of this series. Claudia Burgoa always mixes just the right amount of angst with fabulous wit and humor, but she's really outdone herself with this one. Normally, I shy away from the sibling's ex because of the ick factor - just my personal opinion of the trope, but more often than not, it doesn't work for me. This one has none of that, and it's done differently than most of the ones I've read in its shared romance trope, plus the characters are too good together not to want more of them. Blaire and Hayes are likable both together and separately, and Hayes pulls out all the stops to win Blaire back, which just endears him that much more. I'm a sucker for second chance romances anyway, and the small town angle makes it that much better. Then you add in the family dynamic between these brothers, and I was quickly fully invested in not just this couple but the whole family. Witty banter, all the feels romance, engaging characters, and a fast-paced story, this one has it all, and I can't wait for whatever comes next in this series. Claudia Burgoa has started the Baker's Creek Billionaire Brothers out with a bang, and if this first book is any indication, it's going to be a terrific ride.

4 Star Review of Loved You Once (The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers #1) by Claudia Y Burgoa Book one in an exciting new series from Claudia Burgoa and she is off to a solid start. Loved You Once is a second change at love story that was was an emotional roller coaster of a read that held my attention from the first to the last chapter. This is Doctor Hayes Benjamin Aldridge and Blaire Wilson. Both Hayes and Blaire are haunted by the past, the big question is will they have the courage to take a chance on love and in doing so get the happily ever after they deserve? We all have regrets, it’s how we learn from them and move forward with life and what it deals you that can change the course of a person’s life. Hayes knows he is going to have to work to prove that he has changed and in doing that change his future. This is a story of self discovery, of facing ones past and moving forward into the future, if you dare to take a leap of faith. The characters were entertaining and the story was well written. Angsty at times and heart warming it made me laugh and made me cry. There was romance, some humour and the camaraderie and banter between the Aldridge brothers added to my enjoyment.
