New Release: 50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover by Kelly Siskind + Review!
50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover
by Kelly Siskind is now live!
From Kelly Siskind comes a slow-burn romantic comedy about one man’s creative attempt to win back his high school sweetheart after a change in fortune gives them a second chance at love.
Growing up, I had it all—my art, close friends, a gorgeous girlfriend who owned my heart—but then my life exploded.
Turns out my father was laundering money, and my whole family got shoved into witness protection. No notice. No chance to explain. I was ripped away from beautiful, blue-eyed Delilah Moon, shattering both our worlds.
A decade later, fate has given us a second chance.
The cartel my father worked for has been wiped out. I’ve returned to my hometown, determined to win back the love of my life. But Delilah is engaged.
Or . . . is she?
I’m almost positive she’s lying about her fiancé to protect her heart. Which means I need to up my game.
I’ve made a list of fifty ways to prove we’re meant to be. Except Delilah’s barely looking at me, never mind swooning. I have a feeling my disappearance scarred her more than she’s admitting, and no one in town will tell me what happened . . .

This was a good book! 50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover is the first book in the Bower Boys series and is Edgar/"E" and Delilah's book. E and Delilah met as kids and became childhood sweethearts. They have a soulmate connection and no one has any doubt they will be together forever. But at seventeen, the night after their "first time" together, Feds come and get their family to move them to witness protection. Unbeknownst to their family, E's dad has been money laundering, angering a dangerous cartel, and in order to save them all, he must turn state's witness. No one has a chance to tell anyone goodbye and E must leave Delilah behind. But he had a very hard time and has not let a day go by without mourning their relationship. Now ten years later, he is living life undercover as "Brian" with his family in another state when he happens to board a plane that Delilah is also on. He can't help speaking to her, even though it hurts them both because Delilah doesn't understand why he left her, and he finds out she is now supposedly engaged. Very soon after that, E's family finds out their stint in WITSEC is over when the cartel they are hiding from is wiped out by a rival gang. He is determined to go back to his hometown and win back Delilah's heart.
I really enjoyed this book. I found it very well-written and it had such a unique premise with a great story. Edgar/"E" was such a doll. He absolutely adored Delilah and was still very much in love with her 10 years after being ripped apart. They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. He knew everything about her and was so sweet to her, willing to do anything to get her back. He had such strong emotions and guilt about everything that happened, when none of it was actually his fault. I felt bad for him. I liked Delilah too, but I didn't connect to her as much because the book is only in E's POV. I would have loved to get even a little bit of Delilah's POV. I'm not a huge fan of male only POV books and didn't know this was one going in. But if I have to live in any guy's head, it would have been E's. He was simply adorable. He and Delilah had a soulmate connection and were truly meant to be together. The small town setting, potential for E's brother's books, and the fun side characters all helped to make this an entertaining read. I had a hard time putting this book down.
Overall, 50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover was a winning read! I am so intrigued by this unusual premise and I can't wait to see E's four brothers get books to see how it all plays out. I look forward to more from Ms. Siskind in the future!
