Hart's Landing

By: Melanie Harlow

Narrated by: Christine Lakin, Dan John Miller

Four friends made a promise to live one night like it was their last.

That night changed everything.

Ten years ago, Mila Ferguson left behind a devastating fire, a stolen kiss, and a shattered circle of friends in her hometown of Hart’s Landing. But when a crisis brings her back, Mila just wants to get in and get out, unscathed by her mother’s constant criticism and unseen by her former crush, Everett McKean.

Only … Everett is everywhere. The town’s attractive, beloved mayor has resisted settling down, but he’s never stopped wondering about Mila. Having her back in Hart’s Landing is the second chance he didn’t know he was waiting for—and he’s not about to waste it.

As Mila slowly opens her heart to Everett and begins to rebuild her fractured friendships, she wonders if coming home was exactly what she needed. But old wounds threaten to open again when questions emerge about what really happened the night Mila left. Who’s really responsible for the fire that destroyed the bakery? And will knowing the truth free Mila from the past, or ignite a blaze that burns down the future she’s trying to build?

People say you can never truly come home again, but sometimes coming home isn’t about where you’ve been. It’s about who you’re brave enough to become.

Sexy, heartfelt, and steeped in small-town charm, Hart’s Landing is a story of forgiveness, friendship, and finding the family who loves you no matter how far you wander.

Loved it!!!

He falls first, found family, friends brother, small town romance!!! That’s what you get and more with Hart’s Landing!

I loved this one so much!! I was hooked immediately and didn’t want to put it down! This is one of those books that will grab you from the very beginning and you won’t even notice the time passing!

The author did a great job setting up a new series without taking away from the story that was being told. She created a small town that you wanted to be a part of!

This one truly did play out like a movie in my mind! A big reason is because of the audio! The narrators did such an amazing job bringing the book to life!!

This is definitely one of those reads that the ending came to soon! I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters! I am excited to see what comes next!

I definitely recommend this one!

a great multiple part story

what I found interesting about this story is number one I wasn't sure whether I was really going to die then or not because I had just listened to a story that was over the top and sometimes it's hard when you have a book hangover to get into another story unless of course it's that good that it doesn't matter which this one was. this story has mother daughter relationship that isn't that great you have a bunch of friends and friendships that fall apart and are struggling to bring them together which makes me anxious for the other books because obviously they're going to be about the other friends. and then it has a relationship between a man and a woman and and their baggage and how they have to work through their baggage her having more baggage than he does. like I love the fact that the story felt real and a lot of that had to do with the narrators they did an excellent job of bringing this story to life and and playing those parts and bringing them together. there's things of course in this story that are a little open-ended I mean it doesn't end on a cliffhanger you absolutely have a full story and a closure at the end but you still haven't Cliffhanger with the friends because there's some untold stories there which obviously is going to be the other books. so I'm obviously I can't wait till the other books come out so I can listen to those stories also. again I can't stress enough the story was really good I love the fact that she finally got her backbone and stood up to her mother which wow I had a mother like that he didn't need any enemies even though her mother could not see it that's for sure. I highly recommend you dive in you'll love the story like I said it's a multiple Parts story of multiple things going on but all in one going on together of course highly recommend

Loved this so much!

I really connected to Mila and her struggles to be a people pleaser. Her mother was a real piece of work. Loved Everett, such a sweetie!!

The Storie line

Some spice, romance sweet storie. I love her writing style. If you haven’t listened to this author, you definitely should.

Wonderful new series

Mila and Everett are wonderful together. I like the town's online newsletter with the town gossip. I thought the narration was very good. I'm looking forward to the next book.
