Ellis.
I feel him.
Before I even lay eyes on him, I sense him.
The air in the room seems charged, my awareness of him heightened, but he is a stranger to me.
Unfamiliar, yet familiar.
Unknown, yet known.
And something inside me says, "Hello, I've been waiting for you."
Macsen.
I see him.
I've seen him a hundred times before and I know this will not be the last, but each time I do, I feel it.
That invisible tether.
I remember everything.
I remember him.
His eyes lock with mine and then move away too quickly.
I am nothing more than a stranger, another face in the crowd.
While he is my favourite hello, and my hardest goodbye.
“You’re in front of me, I can see you, but not only with my eyes. Your voice, the way you speak to me, I hear it, but not only with my ears. My body knows yours, Macs.” I rub a hand over my abdomen. "It knows you in here.” I tap my temple with my finger. “It knows you in here.” And finally, I place a palm on my chest over my heart. “And in here, in here it’s hollow, empty, waiting, always waiting.” “For what?” His words are a mere whisper of air. “For you.”
My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review
Oh my Lord, this book!! It's one of the best I've read this year, so far. I could NOT put it down, I spent all day reading, only coming up for the necessary bathroom breaks and by the end I was such a blubbering mess. Tears streaming down my face, eyes and nose bright red. God knows what the Asda delivery guy thought when he knocked on my door half an hour after I'd finished reading, he probably thought I'd been drinking heavily!
I just love this author's work and the different worlds she creates, she is a brilliant wordsmith. E.S. Carter has a way of hooking you in from the very start with her wonderfully captivating plots and doesn’t let go until the very end. Her characters, and their lives, have a habit of staying with you long after you put the book down and Ellis & Macsen are definitely no exception. I adored them and didn't want their story to end, I felt like I needed more time with them.
Favourite Hello. Hardest Goodbye. is a beautiful story of a love that is timeless. Endless. It's filled with such deep heartfelt love, gentleness and raw passion. It makes you realise that if you open your eyes, and your heart, and really see then even the impossible is possible.
Whether you're a fan of M/M genre or not, I defy you not to fall in love with Ellis and Macsen. Those men didn't just tug on my heartstrings, they yanked on them; filling my heart and damn near breaking it in the process 😭💔
I honestly can't do this book the justice it so richly deserves so I'm just going to say...1-click this baby now, you won't regret it. I absolutely loved it and cant recommend it highly enough! But be prepared for the massive book hangover that will surely follow.

My rating...
USA Today Bestselling Author, ES Carter, lives in Cardiff, South Wales—the home of castles, dragons, and folklore.
Her family joke that she was born with a book in her hand, and the urge to write stories soon followed.
At eleven, she won her school's literary prize. At ages fourteen to sixteen - her poetry phase after falling in love with Dylan Thomas and e.e. cummings - she had a few poems published, but life, love, and family overtook her dreams, and she was in her thirties when she began the scary journey of self-publishing.
Her debut and internationally best-selling series, 'Love by Numbers', are a set of interconnected stand-alone romances, all with varying themes of love. From second-chance to romantic comedy and M/M romance. These stories do not need to be read in order (apart from the opening duet Nineteen/Twenty One), in fact, she is often guilty of advising readers to start at the last book and work their way back through.
Contemporary romance is not the only genre she writes, her second series, 'The Red Order', is as dark and twisted as you can get, but there is beauty there too if you can open your eyes and look.
With many more stories bursting to be set free, she hopes you stay along for the ride.
She loves to connect with readers, so please feel free to friend/follow her on Facebook, IG, and Twitter or join her reader's group, E's Elite <3
