If I Can't Have You

Charli and Symon are adorable!! I didn’t know what to expect but the way Ms. Elena Aitken has developed the characters and the storyline, I am floored. I couldn’t put it down. The stiff dreams are made of! Must read. Please do read!

Trickle Creek is another great town with great people living there. A young woman, Charli, just doesn’t feel good about herself but loves her flowers! After her father passed away his will stated that his kids needed to prove they can handle certain tasks. Charli needs to do her task that she knows she won’t be able to do and no one in her family can help her. Her lost love returns to town broken. Symon is nursing his knee injured while skiing and his head. They decide to help each other overcome obstacles they are facing so they can move on. Spending all this time together the love they find again is so sweet. It’s such a great story about the strengths we have hidden in us and their love for each other. I love anything Elena writes!!

In the small town of Trickle Creek where we first meet the Carlson siblings. After their father’s Each one is required to fulfill a stipulation for the next part of his will to be released and to keep the company within the family. Charli, the oldest daughter, has always felt she’s not inadequate, especially in comparison to her siblings. Charli has loved her best friend and childhood friend Symon Scott. They were inseparable most of their lives and on their high school graduation night she kissed him. Instead of embracing the kiss and a future, Symon left the next day without a word, in order to pursue his skiing career. Fast forward Symon is back in town after an injury that he’s keeping close to his heart and it’s causing him to be fearful of skiing again. Meanwhile, Charli has a challenge of her own with her deceased father’s will. Charli and Symones relationship begins to blossom, and things seem to be going their way until the chance to go back to competitive skiing will make Symon choose between Charli and his career. As always Elena Aitken’s never disappoints and has you rushing to turn each page and embrace the love and family within the stories. I highly recommend this book and any book from Elena to everyone I know. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy and this is my honest opinion.
