Together Is Where We Belong(Courtright Ranch,#2)

 

 

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

  Thank you to the author,Harper Faith and The Author Agency for providing me with E-ARC, in exchange for honest review.   

 

 

At eighteen, I left Haven Valley with Leo Courtright’s final words ringing in my ears. 

I hate you. 

I swore I’d never come back to the small town—or the boy—I’d left behind. But when the manstalking me gets too close, I run to the only place that’s ever felt safe. 

Home. 

Coming back meant seeing the blue-eyed boy who was once my entire world. Only Leo isn’t a boy anymore. He’s colder. Harder. And he still looks at me like I wrecked his life. Returning home also means revealing the secret I’ve kept for eight years. 

He has Leo’s eyes. 

His inquisitive nature. 

And he can’t wait to meet his dad. 

When Leo shows up at my front door to welcome his new neighbor, the second his gaze lands on the little boy behind me, everything changes. 

The man who swore he hates me is suddenly everywhere—fixing broken locks, watching over us, asking questions I can’t answer without risking the fragile life I built to protect my son. 

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to deny what’s always been between us.
Because some first loves stay with you forever. 

Some people never stop feeling like home. 

And maybe, after everything we lost, together is where we belong. 

If the past—and the danger chasing us—doesn’t destroy us first.

 🌷

 
Such a heartwarming but heartbreaking story about first love, family, and a second chance. I’m still swooning over Carolina and Leo. 

I didn’t know what to expect from this story, since I haven’t read anything by this author. It was the cover, the title, and the blurb that caught my attention. The blurb is what caught my attention most of all; it sounded moving yet suspenseful. The moment I started reading Together Is Where We Belong, I knew I was in trouble, and I was right. I read it in a day because just when I thought I could put it down, something happened that kept me reading for a few more hours. Leo and Carolina’s story isn’t one you will be able to forget. You can feel the chemistry between the two of them from the moment they reunite. Even though Leo tries to fight it, I can tell how much he cares about her. 

I adored the instant bond that Leo had with his son, Luke. I couldn’t help but love Luke; his energy was so addictive, and I loved how he accepted Leo, even if he wasn’t in his life for a while. He was such a joy to read about. The three of them were a family, and even though Leo tried to stay clear, they still acted like one. I was rooting for them all through the book. I’m glad that Carolina came back and that Luke protected her once he found out about her stalker. I was scared for her and hoped the stalker wouldn’t find her. 

Family was an important aspect in this book. Despite what happened in the past, I loved how Courtright family accepted Luke, and how they tried protecting the two of them. I was smiling at the way that they all came together. Even though I finished the book this morning, I still cannot get it out of my head. Everything in this book, including the suspense, was portrayed in such depth and filled with so much emotion. Now, I must go back and check out the first book in the series. Highly recommended.

Trying Not To Need You(Moran Sisters,#2)

 

 

 

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

 4.5★ 

Thank you to author,Kaylee Ryan for letting me be part of her ARC Team! 

 

Baylor

 
I thought I was living my happily ever after. 

But after five years in New York, building my life around a man who stopped choosing me, I realized our future was nothing more than a dream. 

So I walked away. 

From the city. From him. From the family I thought we’d build together. ,br> Now I’m back in Magnolia Ridge with my sisters, trying to figure out who I am without the life I planned. 

I didn’t come home looking for love. 

But somehow, love has been waiting for me all along.

 
Macklin

 
I’ve loved Baylor Moran for years. 

The timing was always wrong. Until now. 

She’s back in Magnolia Ridge with a bruised heart and walls higher than ever. But that's okay. I'll be here when they’re ready to come down. 

Baylor can take all the time she needs. 

I’m not going anywhere. 

And while she’s trying not to need me, I’ll keep loving her until she realizes she’s not falling apart anymore.
She’s finally falling—straight into the future we were always meant to have. 

  🌷

 
I have no words. This book blew me away, and I am still going through a range of emotions. I loved the first book, Trying Not To Kiss You, but this one is my favorite- at least for right now. I read Trying Not To Need You in one day; I couldn’t stop, I didn’t want to stop because I was so invested in Baylor and Macklin’s story. Macklin is the type of guy that every girl dreams about – if only every guy treated their girl the way that he did. I think I fell in love with Macklin myself. I adored the way he treated Baylor and the way he tried to prove to her how much she meant to him. However, I did feel like he came on a little too strong at the beginning. 

I liked the way that Kaylee transitioned Baylor and Mackin’s relationship from friendship to romance; it was so bittersweet. I’m still smiling just thinking about it. I loved that Mackin wasn’t pushing her into relationship but also showing her different ways that he cares about her. You can’t help but swoon over Mackling; who doesn’t want a man who cooks your favorite food for you, and dances with you? I couldn’t get enough of the two of them, and hoped that Baylor will see that Macklin is the guy for her. 

Found family was another one of my favorite aspects in this book. I adore the close relationship that the Moran sisters have with each other. I’m curious to see which Moran sister the next book will be about. Trying Not To Need You is not a book that you want to miss.

Run Back Home(Golden City,#4)

 

 

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

 Thank you to author,Cassandra Moll for letting me be part of  ARC Team!

Lenora O'Reilly has many names—Nora, Lenny, Len—but only one major regret: choosing small-town life over true love. 

When high school ended, Lenny couldn’t bring herself to leave the safety, security, and familiarity of Mage Hollow—even if it meant walking away from the plans she’d built with her MLB-bound boyfriend. 

But what she didn’t realize was that the one thing she truly needed would disappear the moment she made that choice—
Him. 

Now Lenny spends her life as a travel nurse—always moving, always leaving—because the place she once called home has never felt like home again.

 
Jace Holloway was always meant for the big leagues—talented, driven, and able to anticipate the last minute bounce or unpredictable hop. And the pit-stop his family made in Mage Hollow only proved that nothing could derail his dreams.
But there was one curveball Jace never saw coming— 

Lenny staying after he left. 

Now, six years later, although he's thriving in Golden City with his family back together, he's still living with regrets of his own. 

And without the one person he never stopped missing. 

When Lenny’s newest nursing assignment lands her in the same city where Jace now starts at shortstop for the Gators, neither of them expects to keep bumping into each other. 

But they should have known—the universe has always had a way of putting them together.

 
Now they’re learning that you can’t outrun your problems. 

And that scoring big almost always means heading home.

 

 🌷

I loved every single moment of this book; the characters, the story, the setting. I’m so glad that I got the chance to read this book. I have a feeling this will be the book I re-read in the future. The Run Back Home is the second book I've read by Cassandra and, so far, my favorite. I haven't read the first two books in the Golden City series, and now that I've read the last one, I'm going to check out the others. One of my favorites is the found-family aspect; it's so heartwarming to see how everyone looks out for one another. That's why it's impossible to have a favorite character; you can't help but fall in love with all of them. It reminds me so much of my best friends, who became like family to me. 

Lenny and Jace : You can see that those two belong together from the start. Their story was both heartbreaking and heartwarming, and I found myself reading late into the night because I needed to know what happened. I could tell that Lenny’s feelings for Jace never faded; just the way that she acted around him. I loved the way that Cassandra portrayed their relationship; it was emotional at times, but also realistic. I was so invested in their relationship, rooting for them all the way through. 

I love the way Cassandra portrayed deaf awareness and Vienna’s journey to get the implant. I can’t even begin to imagine how she must feel, but the descriptions were phenomenal, so I felt as if I could. I have a deaf friend, so I loved that it was featured in this book. I also loved the relationship that Jace had with his sister, and Lenny too; it had me smiling on multiple occasions. In general; if I could give this book more than five stars, I would. Such a beautiful, inspirational book.

Falling For The Enemy(Hawthrone Brothers,#2)

 Thank you to the author,Lydia Michaels and LMPR for eARC. All opinions are my own.

Soren Hawthorne is arrogant, brooding, and used to getting everything he wants—including ruthless control of his family's empire. The last thing this grumpy alpha billionaire needs is any lip from Jocelyn Collins, the sharp-tongued, beautiful, chaotic, Viking smut author with an evil chihuahua that hates his guts. 

Jocelyn has spent her whole life being too much. Too loud, too messy, too wild for a small-town that likes its love stories neat and tidy. She writes happily-ever-afters for a living but never believed she'd get one of her own. Especially not with the infuriating, insufferable, impossibly gorgeous man she's been at war with since the third grade. 

But twenty years of slow-burn tension has to break somewhere. And once Soren realizes the woman he wants has been right there all along, his possessive nature kicks.

 🌷

 
I've been curious about the Hawthorne brothers ever since I read The Holiday Clause last December. I loved Greyson and Wren’s story, but I loved Soren and Jocelyn’s story even more. There was something about those two that had me rooting for them. Although they claimed they hated each other, I could tell there was more to it. Those two had such chemistry; the ones that they seemed to deny. I hoped that they would figure out that what two of them had was more than sex. I do believe that Soren fell for Jocelyn first, the way he wanted to take care of her, and the jealousy. I just hoped he wouldn’t do something stupid to mess up the relationship. 

Soren…I had my doubts about him when I started reading the book. The things he did and said sometimes frustrated me. However, I could tell how much he cared about Jocelyn, even if it took him some time to realize it. One of my favorite things about Lydia’s books is the way that she portrays the characters and their emotions. I felt every emotion that Soren and Jocelyn had. I felt their anger, frustration, love, and doubt. I loved this town in winter during Holiday Clause, and I loved it during the fall. Everything about it made me wish that it was real, so I could go there and escape for a while.

Once again, it warmed my heart how the town came together. The way Lydia portrayed the relationship between Soren and Jocelyn was phenomenal; you could see their growth. I also loved the banter between them and found myself laughing out loud at some of it. I didn’t want this story to end, and I'm hoping that they make an appearance in the next book. I’m excited to see what’s in store for Logan.

Yours Trully,Fall(Season Sisters,#2)

 

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

 Thank you to the author,S.L Scott and The Author Agency for providing me with E-ARC, in exchange for honest review.   

  

There are worse things than being stuck alone in a cabin with a hot as sin firefighter who’s good with his hands. A lot worse . . . This should be fun. 

Agreeing to help Brandon Culver recover from his injury seemed harmless enough. 

Sure, he’s a firefighter and Mountain Laurel Cove’s most eligible bachelor. But I’m too busy focusing on my nursing career to be distracted by a handsome face. 

Unfortunately, Brandon is a lot more than a great face. 

He’s steady. Dependable. He’s the kind of man who remembers the little things and shows up when it matters. His easy confidence is comforting. His quiet strength makes me feel safe. And the way he looks at me makes me question everything I thought I wanted. 

But I’m in his home to care for him, not fall for him. 

One tiny slip could ruin all the plans I’ve meticulously made for my life. Romance is a fool’s game and if I’m anything, I’m level-headed. Until his heated gaze and lingering touch threaten to turn the electricity between us into a five-alarm fire. 

If I’m not careful, I might be the one getting burned.

 🌷

 
A charming, heartfelt small-town romance, with fall vibes. 

Yours Truly, Fall was the cozy romance that I love, and the one that I needed. I adored Brandon and Autumn; their banter, but also the way that they fell for each other. I know that Autumn had doubts about him, because of what happened in the past, but I thought that she should let the past go, give them a second chance. In the past couple of years, I fell in love with the small-town and second-chance romance trope. Yours Truly, Fall is the type of second-chance romance that I love. I couldn’t help but smile; the way that Autumn took care of Brandon and made sure that he was healing the way he should. I do believe there was more than one reason that she agreed to take care of Brandon. 

There were quite a few moments between Autumn and Brandon that had me smiling. I was rooting for the two of them from the start. I have read a few books that dealt with amnesia, but the way S.L. was interconnected with the rest of the story was unique. I wondered if Brandon would remember or if this would be their second chance to start over. I loved the Season sisters, and don’t you just love their names? I didn’t know it was a series until I started reading this one. Now I want to go back and read Summer’s book. Once again, I love the depth that S.L gave to the characters; partially Brandon and Autumn. She also always has a way to connect you with all the characters. There was part of me that didn’t want book to end, and I’m hoping that Autumn and Brandon will make appearance in the next book.

Fall In Love(Lovewell Landing,#1)

 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

 Thank you to author,L.B Dunbar for EARC. All opinions are my own.

 

  

Neve Snowe doesn't need to settle down. She is already settled in her small harbor town, with a cozy beach cottage and part ownership in the family-run auto repair shop. She doesn't want a man, but she likes them. And she has one golden only sleep with flatlanders. You know, the guys who never intend to stay in Lovewell Landing, only use the coastal area for a brief holiday. 

And the last thing she desired was the unexpected . . . to be expecting. 

Tate Love spent his summers in Lovewell Landing as a teenager, but somehow he'd missed the beautiful girl who turned into a spunky woman, daring him to jump into the icy ocean one New Year's Eve, then slept with him near the town's sacred well, holding spell-binding waters. 

He never thought he'd see her again, until nine months later, a business prospect brings him back to the area.
Now, the man who longs to be tied down finds that one night planted the seed to everything he ever wanted, while he holds the pen that could sign away all she's ever loved.

 

 🌷

 

 
I adored Neve and Tate’s story! It’s such a heartwarming story that had me overflowing with emotions. I had a feeling that I was going to enjoy this book. Since I discovered the author last year, there hasn’t been a book of hers that I haven’t loved. However, there is something about Fall In Love, that will have you falling in love with the characters, especially Neve and Tate. I loved the way Tate took care of Nave, despite the way she pushed him away. Although the two of them had a one-night stand, you could tell that they cared about each other more than that, even if Neve tried to deny her feelings. I loved how excited Tate was when he found out he was the father, and how willing he was to do anything to take care of Neve and the baby. 

I loved all the fall vibes in this book. All the descriptions in this book made me wish that Lovewell Landing was real, so I could go visit. It sounded just like my type of town. Fall In Love is the type of book that, once you pick it up, you will have trouble putting back down. I wanted to keep on reading this book, but because of school, I had to force myself to put it down. I did find myself thinking about the story and wondering what would happen next with Neve and Tate. I understood why Neve didn’t want to let him in, but I was hoping that she would see that he was here to stay and that he cared about her. I was rooting for them all the way through the book. 

This story will touch your heart in so many ways. The depth of the characters was phenomenal; especially for Neve and Tate. I fell in love with Tate from beginning; he’s the type of guy that every girl dreams about. Everything that he did for Neve; it melted my heart and had me smiling. I wish I could give this book more than five stars; it deserves every star. I’m excited for the next book in the series. Highly recommended for romance fans; especially small town, second chance tropes.

Midnight Detour.

One week. Two seasoned travelers. One major travel disruption neither of them wanted…

 
June Moretti likes to travel alone. Confident, capable, and guided by her personal mantra “everything is figure-out-able”, she’s en route from London to Portland, Oregon for her best friend’s wedding. But when her flight makes an emergency landing in British Columbia, June suddenly has to figure out how to get to Portland in time for the wedding. 

 
Worse? She’s stuck with Cam Olsen. Sarcastic, calm under pressure, and annoyingly attractive, he also happens to be the groom’s brother. With flights grounded and time ticking, their only shot at getting to the wedding in time is an epic journey across the Pacific Northwest by any means necessary—bus, train, or questionable hitchhiking. 

What begins as a travel inconvenience becomes a cross-country misadventure filled with unexpected sparks, confessions, and one too many dodgy hotel rooms. And somewhere along the way, June discovers that maybe not everything can—or should—be figured out alone.

   🌷

 
I had a feeling I was going to love this book, based on the blurb and tropes. It sounded like my type of book. The story blew me away; I didn’t expect to fall in love with June and Cam the way I did. There was so much depth in the characters and the story itself. One of my favorite aspects of the story is that the two of them met while traveling. I always loved stories that included traveling. I liked the way June and Cam’s relationship unfolded throughout their journey, and the way they stood by each other's side, even with the unwanted twist their journey took. 

Every page had me on the edge of my seat, wondering what adventures they would face next. I found myself connecting with most of the characters in this book, even the minor characters. I loved how Savannah portrayed every character in the story. I couldn’t put this book down, and when I did, I was thinking about it or talking about it with my friends. Midnight Detour was so much more than I thought it would be. I felt as if I went on the cross-country adventure with June and Cam. 

June and Cam changed in so many ways from the beginning of the book. I also loved the bond between June and Penny. In general, I loved so much about this book that I can keep going. However, I don’t want to give too much away, so you should pick up a copy to find out for yourself.

Impersonating her sister was the easy part. Falling for her sister's enemy wasn't.

 
Erika Morgan is used to being the wrong twin. The overlooked one. The shadow. So when a devastating accident puts her in her famous sister's spotlight, she does what any sensible person would panics, agrees to impersonate her, and prays no one notices she's not the sister they wanted. 

Enter Stefan her sister's gorgeous, infuriating co-star with a grudge, a razor-sharp intuition, walls no one has breached in years—and absolutely no reason to keep Erika's secret when he discovers it. But he does. Worse, he keeps looking at her like she's someone worth finding. 

Now she's stranded in paradise with a man who sees too much, a director who can end careers with a word—and wants something she's not willing to give, and a lie that could cost her everything—including the one person who finally sees her. The only way out is stop hiding in her sister's shadow and step into the light as herself. 

Even if it burns.

  🌷

 
Heartbreaking. Inspirational. 

There are many more words to explain this book. When I came across The Hollywood Switch -Up , I was expecting a cozy romcom; it was so much more than that, and I loved every minute of it. I was engaged in this story from the first page until the last. There wasn’t a single page that didn’t keep my attention. When I reached the last page, I wanted to go back and read it again. I had a range of emotions by the time I finished the book, and I tried to figure out the best way to write this review. There's so much that I loved about this book: the characters, the plot, and the setting. I liked that this was about a twin swap; however, it wasn't what I expected (in a good way). 

The way that Hallie portrayed Erika’s growth was phenomenal. By the middle of the book, it was as if Erika were a completely different person. I loved her determination; despite what was happening, she kept on going and protecting the people she loved. I do wish that she had told Stefan what was happening, but I understood why she didn’t. I couldn’t get enough of Stefan and Erika; the way their relationship grew was real. I wished that Erika hadn’t listened to her sister, Annie, and had just let herself feel. Based on how he treated and cared for Erika, he wasn’t what Annie told Erika. I was cheering from the beginning. 

I felt all the emotions, especially towards the end of the book, and that was the part where it became impossible to put the book down. Annie, I liked her, but there were times when she annoyed me. I could tell she cared about Erika, but at times, I felt she cared more about her image. I am curious about her and Bradley, and part of me thinks they should get their own book. I’m hooked and cannot wait to see what Hallie has in store for us next.

The Has -Been(Delleth College,#1)

 Same campus. Same memories. Same unfinished story.

The only thing Aubrey Vaughn ever wanted was Liam Anderson. At least, that’s what she used to believe.

Now, she’s back on campus for her final year at Delleth, determined to make the most of the time she has left—rooming with her cousins and focusing on the career she’s building in athletic training. But her plans to make this year different quickly crumble when she has to face the one athlete she knows best: her ex-boyfriend, Liam. 

Liam was the star center of Delleth’s hockey team until a shattered leg and one mistake took everything from him. After a year away, the only goals he’s intent on scoring are completing his degree and putting his past behind him. That is, until he finds himself in the same clinical rotation as Aubrey, the only girl he’s ever loved. 

Determined to protect her, Liam does his best to push her away, but they’ve never been good at staying apart. Their lingering attraction, that magnetic pull, drags them back together. Both are keeping dark secrets, trying to outrun the past, but when it finally catches up with them, Liam and Aubrey must decide if love is enough to survive the truth.

 🌷

 
I felt so much for Aubrey and Liam; my heart broke for them on occasion. I don't remember the last time I cried so much while reading a book. The Has-Been had me going through a range of emotions, from the beginning of the book until almost the end. When I started reading, I was unprepared for all the emotions I would feel. Despite that, I couldn't put the book down. I was so invested in Aubrey and Liam's story, and I wanted to see if they would find a way back to each other. I loved the way Wren developed Aubrey and Liam's relationship, and especially the way she portrayed their emotions. 

The Has-Been is big on mental health rep and past trauma, and Wren did an outstanding job with it. It was so real, and as I read, I could feel all the emotions Aubrey and Liam felt. One of my favorites is that each character, including the side characters, was an important part of the story. It made me curious about their stories. Reid is one I hope gets a book; there was something about him you couldn’t help but love. The nicknames he came up with had me shaking my head and laughing. I am eager to see what his story is. 

Chosen sisterhood made me smile and had a big effect on me. It reminded me of a few of my best friends, who are more like sisters. I adored her cousins and the way that they were always there for one another. In general, the way that everyone came together, including the guys. I finished this book in one day; I couldn’t put it down, I only did when I had to. I would highly recommend this book—one of my favorites for this year.

One Wild Chance(Chance Brothers Ranch,#1)

 

 

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

 Thank you to author,Grace Worthington for letting me be part of  ARC Team!

 

She isn't supposed to care about the ranch.
She definitely isn't supposed to fall for the oldest Chance brother.
And she's absolutely not supposed to trust him with her heart a second time.

 
Summer Daniels built her life on land she doesn't own, for a family that could take it back the second Jaxon Chance decides he wants it. Even though she works for Lucky Chance Ranch, Wildflower Farms is hers—the one thing she's built entirely on her own. She's got no interest in reliving the past, and even less interest in the infuriating hockey player who broke her heart on his way out the door after high school. 

Jaxon Chance built his whole identity on hockey. A career-ending injury just took that away, and it's sent him back to the last place he ever wanted to be—his family's horse farm, now failing under a mountain of debt. The only way to save it is to run the place alongside his three brothers, under the terms of a will that gives them no choice. 

What he didn't plan on was Summer Daniels, running her business on his family's land, making him remember exactly what he walked away from. 

But somewhere between their first fight and long days working the horses side by side, something shifts. Summer stops bracing for the day he leaves again. And Jaxon stops pretending he wants to go.

 
The farm is what brought him home. But she might be the reason he finally stays.

 🌷

 
I finished this book a couple of days ago and have been trying to find the best way to describe my feelings. I had a feeling I would like this book based on the title and the blurb. One Wild Chance exceeded my expectations. I felt as if I was hanging out with friends while reading this book. I found myself connecting to almost every character, especially Jaxon and Summer. What a beautiful story! I loved the way Grace portrayed the emotions of every character; it felt so real, as if I was experiencing them myself. 

One of my favorite things about this book is the community of Golden Springs. I loved the way the Chance brothers supported one another and, no matter what, stood by each other. The way everyone in the town of Golden Springs supports each other had me wishing I could live there. I loved the way that they didn’t just stand by Chance brothers’ side, but Summer’s too. The community, like this one, is what I love about the found family trope. 

Summer and Jaxon. I liked the pacing and the way Grace portrayed their relationship. I adored the way that Jaxon was always there for Summer, supporting her, helping her, and letting her know that he was there. It had me smiling every time. I hoped that Summer would see how much he cares for her. I loved the fact that this was a closed-door romance. I enjoy reading open-door romance, but I also love reading romance that has emotional depth and focuses more on relationship development and storytelling. The emotions will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Deal Breaker(Deep Cove Millionaires Club,#1)

 

 

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came back to Deep Cove with a 6-year-old secret and a million memories I’ve tried hard to forget. But I’ve never been able to forget him. 

Ford Winters is more than just my ex. He’s my first love. He’s the only man I’ve ever truly given my heart to. He’s also the father of a little girl he doesn’t even know exists.
I didn’t plan on coming back home, but when I found out my mom needed me, I didn’t hesitate. So here we are, my daughter Poppy and I, back in the place where I left my shattered heart all those years ago.
What I didn’t expect? Walking into the office of my new perfect-on-paper marketing job to discover Ford owns the multi-million dollar company. He won’t even look at me. He’s furious, and he has every right to be after I walked out of his life without even a goodbye. But I need this job, and the company needs me, so we’re going to have to make this work. 

Easier said than done. 

The pull between us is magnetic. The tension is impossible to ignore. Every second we spend together is fire, and when he finally kisses me, I’m reminded why my heart has always been his.
But when I see how kind and sweet Ford is with my daughter—our daughter—it makes the guilt inside me twist like a knife. If he knew the real reason I walked away from him, if he knew the secret I still can’t bring myself to reveal, he would never forgive me. 

I can’t keep the truth from him for much longer, but how do I tell him without losing everything?

 🌷

This story pulled me through so many emotions. I still not over the affect that this book had over me. 

Landyn and Ford are the couple that you find yourself rooting for from the beginning. You could see there was tension, but also attraction between the two of them, from the moment that they reunited. I could tell that Ford didn’t want to feel that attraction towards Landyn, and I can’t blame him; considering how she left. As the book progressed, I could tell that it got harder for him to fight that attraction. It was hard for both to fight their attraction to one another, and I knew that it was only a matter of time until they couldn’t fight it anymore. It was easy to see that they were still in love. 

I loved both Landyn and Ford, and Poppy. I adored the bond that Poppy formed with Ford; how she accepted him. I hoped that Poppy wouldn’t be too upset when she found out the truth. I understood why Landyn kept Poppy a secret from Ford, but I didn’t agree with it. I knew that he would find out eventually, and when he did, their relationship wouldn’t be the same. Deal Breaker is so much more than a love story, it’s a story about second chances, and family. The depth of emotions in this book; especially how she portrayed Ford’s pain when Landyn left; it was phenomenal. I felt at the emotions that Landyn and Ford felt. Deal Breaker was the first book I read by Lily Miller, and I’m excited to check out her others.
