​When I returned to Poplar Falls six years ago, I’d given up on love.

I’d made the mistake of marrying the sexy rebel right out of high school. He’d ended up in jail. I’d ended up pregnant. With a baby on the way, I decided to give up my wild, impulsive ways. All I wanted was a family and to watch my sweet son grow up, happy, and healthy.

Then Myer Wilson keeps showing up in my life—and my son’s life.

He’s the hometown football hero, who blew out his ankle his junior year and ended his career. I didn’t look twice at hot jocks in high school. But now that he’s taken over his family’s ranch, I can’t help but look even when I swore off men for good.

But maybe he’ll finally be the one to help me let go of the past and find my second chance at love. Or maybe my past will come back to haunt me.

Sweet | Small Town | Friends-to-Lovers Romance

It’s truly magical when you find a new author who writes stories that touch you deep in your heart. For me, one of those authors is Amber Kelly. I stumbled upon her first book in this series RUSTIC HEARTS last year when I was looking for new books in the kindle unlimited program. Seeing the cover for Rustic Hearts is what first caught my attention. Then I read the blurb, got chills, and decided this is a book I NEED to try. Let me tell you, I am so glad I did because this series is shaping up to be one of my favorite series of all time. There’s just something about sweet, small town romances that get me. Add to that second chances at love and true feelings from the heart and you have yourself a winner. Family ties are also at the forefront of these novels and it’s so beautiful to witness the power of these relationships- honestly, it’s inspirational! Ladies, if you haven’t had the pleasure of reading either of these books, I strongly recommend giving them a try. I’m telling you; I’ve been smiling ear to ear since I started and finished this one (same goes for Rustic Hearts). I love these books so much that I’m even going ahead and purchasing the paperbacks because I know a re-read is something I’ll be doing in the near future.

As I mentioned above, this is a small-town romance. I’d also consider it a friends-to-lovers and brothers best friend romance because the two have known each other their whole lives and the hero (Myer) is good friends with the heroines (Dallas) brother. Dallas also happens to be a single mom and best friend to Sophie who appears in the first book in the series. (Each book can stand alone).

So, what happens in the story? What makes this book so special that I recommend it to everyone? Well, there’s a romance of course, but it happens slowly for Dallas and Myer. You see Dallas has been burned in the past by her ex husband and has no intention of letting another man in to hurt her or her son. Myer though is a kind and patient man and while he’s been harboring feelings for Dallas for a long time and he understands her needs for something a little slower paced. When the two finally figure out their feelings there’s a teeny bit of drama that unfolds, but it shows the strength of both of them and leads them closer together. If you want to know what I mean, you’ll have to read it yourself!

What makes the book so special? The love. It feels organic and real. Amber Kelly knows how to write feelings and it’s hard NOT to think your falling in love too. It’s also the chemistry and bonds, the charm and sweetness, and the idea that two people so perfect for one another can find love despite hardships. Amber Kelly writes it to good that you practically feel as if you’re the characters themselves. That my friends (and really, so much more) is what makes this a diamond in the rough.

I like to offer high praise to authors when I enjoy their books and I am always honest when it comes to my reviews. You can clearly see my love of many novels though my blog but I’m telling you, this series really STANDS OUT. Pure perfection in every area. I hope many readers will give it a try.
