Story
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul. Remember her... she's important. She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street, the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can't stop thinking about the two people who grew up here. You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstances turned us into nothing more than memories.

Story
When my husband died, he left my broken heart behind. He left another heart behind, too - his.
I know it's wrong. I shouldn't be contacting the recipient of my husband's heart. I don't even expect him to reply.... But there's a desperate, twisted part of me that hopes he will. No names. No personal details. Just a conversation. The only thing I have left of my husband is inside him.

When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have.

Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser. That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She's exactly how I remember her.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

Keeping things professional with my employees has never been an issue. Until she waltzed onto my property. Billie is talented. She's mouthy. And she's so damn tempting.

And in a small town, on an even smaller farm, it's hard to keep your distance. It's even harder to keep that friction from turning to fire. But keeping my distance? That might be the biggest struggle of all.

Story
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul. Remember her... she's important. She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street, the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can't stop thinking about the two people who grew up here. You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstances turned us into nothing more than memories.

Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have? Another tragedy, that's what. When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have. In a lot of ways, I did have her; I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams.

My future is a big ‘what if’ at the moment and I’m fine with that. For the most part. When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me. When he asks me to nanny his kid, it’s a great way to make some extra money. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son. There’s a big problem though. I’m eighteen. He’s thirty-one. Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn’t part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them.

He's the hottest man I've ever seen, someone I can't forget. So it hurts when I find out I've slept with the enemy. As a list maker and a rule follower, the last thing I planned on one of the worst days of my life was to fall into bed with a guy who literally charmed the clothes right off of me. With him, I felt safe to lay my sadness down for the night and embrace a stranger. Little did I know, that hot, gorgeous man would be Jamison Ledger, the one who has taken everything I've ever wanted—my legacy, my happiness, and what I've worked my whole life to attain.

After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small-town Havenbarrow for a fresh start. What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep. They called him troubled, cold, a man with a dark past. What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes, the random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching, and the way he made me smile and laugh.

Amazing!
Love loved loved the ending to this story, the growth and healing these characters went through to get their HEA was heavy, and while both healing from different things they were both healing from the same thing too! This was a beautifully well written friends to lovers, second chance small town romance ❤️ and JH’s spicy be spicing after all the edging she puts you through. Both narrators did an awesome job bringing these characters to life.

Another work of art by Jennifer Hartmann 💔 ❤️
Book/story review: This is the second half of a beautiful story of tragic loss, second chances and the power of love to heal broken hearts. Jennifer is a true artists with her ability to weave a heartbreaking story that will have you shedding tears along with the characters. After the tears is always redemption in the form of love and a HEA.
I truly enjoyed this story. The character growth was perfection and progression of the storyline was immaculate.
Audio review- The overall narration was really good. The narrator’s did a great job bringing these characters to life. I was not a fan of Charlottes male voice and would have rather Gabriel narrate for Cal even when in Lucy’s POV, but it did not take away from the story. This audiobook is definitely one I would recommend, great job to everyone involved!

Omg this was good.
🚨Spoilers🚨
The first book was really good but left you with such a cliffhanger and so many unanswered questions.
The second book delivers all the heartache, all the truths, all the healing and all the love.
This is so good there was one point i thought omg i am going to cry ( which is pretty hard to achieve so i am very impressed with anything that moves me to tears. ADHD & 28yrs in healthcare, and more personal losses then anyone should deserve, it either needs to be on my period sadly, or have truly epic moment in order to make me cry) this Author and Narrators did SUCH an amazing job of showing ALL the emotions good and bad and laying everything bare. I was listening to it while driving and i thought i need to pull over just to feel all the feeling for these characters.
Cal and Lucy are just everything.. they are love, loss and healing all wrapped up in a messy package that slowly they both unpack all the messy bits and find a way. It’s so hard at times to watch them struggle so hard for all the wrong reasons and sometimes the right reasons. Lucy could be so manic and over the top with her anxiety but Cal knew just how to help. Cal was so sure that he would ruin anything he touched he couldn’t take a step forward unless she was there to guide and push him, sometimes in a good way sometimes in not so good ways but with good intentions. They both are each other’s key to breaking free from all their shared and personal demons.
This was such a heartbreaking yet also beautiful story of loss and love and redemption. I was soooooo‼️‼️ afraid the last 2hrs of the book that Lucy would die or Cal was in a freak accident.. i was just on the edge of my seat but i am so very happy with the ending that can warm my heart.
One sidenote, as being a healthcare professional, after all this fussing about Lucy‘s heart condition, the ending kind of confused me. A lot of people with major heart conditions have a really hard time bearing children because of the stress on the heart. So much fuss made over her heart condition that part made it a tiny bit unbelievable for me but still, I really enjoyed the story and I like the way it ended.
Great Narrators. Age appropriate, good strong sounding readers, poured out all the feeling properly! A++
Book 1 had implied spice but it grabbed your attention but book 2 brought all the good spicy times. I could have used a few less sex moments to be honest. The last little bit of the book i was like oh ok we are having amazing sex again ok.. then a tiny bit later oh amazing sex again. But it didn’t take away from the story so it’s all good. There was actually a really funny incident with her mom that made me laugh out loud.
This was a great read and i would suggest it to others.
Off to the next great 📖 book.
