REVIEW - Take This Regret (The Regret Series Book 1) by A.L. Jackson





There are some mistakes we make that we will regret for the rest of our lives. For Christian, it was the day he betrayed Elizabeth.

Christian Davison has a plan for his life. He is determined to become an attorney and to one day take his place as partner in his father’s law firm. Nothing will stand in his way, not even Elizabeth Ayers and their unborn child.

After Christian cuts her from his life, Elizabeth spends the next five years struggling to provide for her daughter and willing to sacrifice anything to give her child a safe, comfortable life.

For five years, Christian has regretted the day he walked away from his family and will do anything to win them back just as Elizabeth will do anything to protect her daughter from the certain heartache she believes Christian will bring upon them.

When Christian wrestles his way into their lives, Elizabeth is faced with asking herself if it is possible to forgive someone when they’ve committed the unforgiveable and if it is possible to find a love after it has been buried in years of hate. Or are there some wounds that go so deep they can never heal?

They say everyone deserves a second chance.




WOW, this blew me away. I had previously read Lost To You, which is the prequel, so thought I knew what to expect. WRONG!! This was way, way better than I could have ever imagined. You know when you are going through a personal turmoil and you have that feeling in your stomach? Well that is how I felt throughout this book. Absolutely amazing how A.L. Jackson is able to do this to her readers. I am in awe of her talent. Truly gifted. 

The beginning of Take This Regret, starts of with Christian and Elizabeth in an extremely happy place after being together for several years. Ahh, happy sigh... Then the story explodes and so begins the turmoil, tears and not to mention the tantrums (and that was just from me!!) Honestly this book has it all. I have said before and I will say it again, (and probably again and again!) A.L. Jackson has an exceptional way of getting the feelings and emotions of her characters to pour from the pages and seep into your psyche and soul. Be prepared to put your life aside, until you have finished reading Christian and Elizabeth's story to it's conclusion.

Once you have read it, make sure, you have your perfect book hangover cure to hand. After I finished reading the series it took me well over a week before I wanted to pick up another book. THE most severe book hangover I have EVER suffered and I can honestly say, hand on heart, it was worth every part of the ride. This is the reason why A.L. Jackson is one of my Top 8 Authors.


This is a beautiful story of love and how two people can overcome the past and live for their tomorrows again.
