As such, she knows how to keep her chin up and go on with her life. After years of trying to mend her broken heart, she is content with life in Belle Ridge the small Texas town. Her brother Rhett almost made me drop this book(but I persevered). He’s an example of the annoying sibling trope, with a splash of youngest child syndrome. At a certain point it felt less like cute sibling ribbing and more a thoughtless bully she’s unfortunately related to. I feel like if I married into the family I would also gain a complimentary membership to the justNO subreddit.

Andrea Rousse is a bestselling author from Louisiana that is best known as the author of the “Belle, Ridge Texas” series of novels. Colton Sutton could not have been happier returning to the small town he grew up in and its comforts. When he learns that Brianna the woman he has loved all his life intends to leave town because of a secret, he comes up with a plan to protect her so that she will not suffer the same fate that he did.

For me it was child’s play. What better way to pass the time playing the most boring sport in the world? If my best friend accuses me of going to a Coyotes game with him, I make sure to bring a book. The book has some mentions of our girls past relationship troubles, but despite her toxic ex still being tertiary in her life due to being her best friends brother it’s never really resolved. He’s just hanging out in the sidelines as a convenient explanation then punted away as a plot device so the ML’s trauma can take over. Much of this book will leave you screaming “Go To Therapy” into the void due to the ML. The ending felt more like the couple decided to ‘save’ others so that they don’t have to face their own problems or definitively work on themselves.
