Synopsis
Every little girl dreams of the fairytale. The one where the white knight rushes in to save her from the clutches of evil. They fall in love, have babies, and live happily ever after.
By that definition, my life should have been a fairytale too.
When I was eight years old, Caven Hunt saved me from the worst kind of evil to walk the Earth. It didn’t matter that I was a kid. I fell in love with him all the same.
But that was where my fairytale ended.
Years later, a one-night stand during the darkest time imaginable gave us a little girl. It was nothing compared to the pitch black that consumed me when I was forced to leave her with Caven for good.
At the end of every fairytale, the happily-ever-after is the one thing that remains consistent. It wasn’t going to be mine, but there hadn’t been a night that passed where I hadn’t prayed that it would be hers.
I owed Caven my life.
However, I owed that innocent child more.
And that included ripping the heart from my chest and facing her father again.

Kat's Review
WRITTEN WITH REGRET:
Is the first full length contemporary romance novel in Aly Martinez' 'Regret Duet.' In this we meet the hero (Caven) his daughter (Rosealee) and the heroine (Hadley)
This quote sums up this book perfectly!!
❝ Not everything was black and white. It was often in the gray areas where the hardest decisions were made. ❞
An unputdownable riveting page-turner that kept me racing through the pages. This author is unstoppable.
Jumping into this and hitting that ‘prologue’ I never expected it to take us down the road it did, that shock factor came into full play as only this author can do, a dark twist that I never saw coming, at all. My heart broke, it went on stand still, it took awhile for it to go back to its normal rhythm. This sets up the whole storyline perfectly and does flit back to that timeframe regularly.
Like a roller coaster out of control, the anticipation, the angst, the giggles, the swooning, those feels all came crashing together all at once. This book was so good!! Once I started it I was pulled into the storyline straight away!! I don't want to go into the plot too much because I feel like it's a story that needs to be read without any spoilers. The heroine and hero for different reasons will pull on your heart strings. Neither have had it easy. The heroine does take a wee bit of time to warm up to but believe me by the end you've connected with her character fully and you may not or may agree with how she's handled things but either way you end up having empathy for the decision she came to. Yet again she's not had an easy go of things.
❝ Life had never been easy for me. Chaos had been following me like a dark cloud, looming and hovering, casting its shadow far and wide despite how bright the path in front of me should have appeared.❞ - Caven

But Caven (the hero) and his daughter Rosealee stole the show. These two melted my heart in two, seriously adorable. Their banter made this story.
I inhaled this in record time!! And like the rest before me I can’t wait for the next book because that ending was a whole new game changer.
