So-so

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2022

This is a rehashing of a story that has been told many times in slightly different ways. The gorgeous "it" girl from high school and the nerd who was picked on meet up many years later and are suddenly attracted to one another. In this case, the nerd was actually a boy who stuttered badly and was bullied by the school jock.. Now, the skinny, stuttering boy is transformed into a hot, muscular guy who no longer stutters and has his own landscaping company. They meet and sparks develop. It isn't a bad book, it just isn't all that new or interesting.

I read a lot of romance novels. Many, perhaps most, plots are built around miscommunication. This is the only one I have ever read that addresses this head on, with characters both ruminating about their need to speak honestly and speaking with each other about the need to communicate clearly. Wondetful!

The plot is great, the characters are great, and there are some masterfully written passages as well. An all-round terrific book.

Francie and Tanner

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2021

Francie's mother Loretta is a former Miss Montana and has brought up her daughter to always smile (even when she doesn't want to) and not say anything negative. So it's no wonder that she ended up being the girlfriend of the football captain, Guy, in high school even though he wasn't the nicest guy! She can recall how he always picked on Tanner because he stuttered until one day Tanner had enough and broke Guy's nose!😏 She finally had enough shortly thereafter and broke it off with Guy! Then she went away to school to get her teachers certification, but, now 8 years later she's back because her father isn't doing well. She's run into Guy a few times and he keeps asking her to go meet him sometime for coffee and she keeps bowing out, she doesn't want anything to do with him! So what if he is still rich? He's still a jerk! Now she's in her bungalow and the creep who's supposed to be giving her a quote is making her uncomfortable! Thankfully the landscaper has arrived! Hopefully he'll be better than this guy! When they realize who each other is they are happy to see one another! Tanner has his little sister Maddie in the truck along with his dog Charlotte and once Francie realizes this asks if they want some lemonade. It seems that Tanner has custody of Maddie since their mother has recently died. She wants to stay with her big brother only their Aunt Vivian wants to take her to Hawaii! What kind of summer is Maddie going to have? Will Tanner let their Aunt take her? Will he get the job of landscaping Francie's yard? Will they get over their differences? Only one way to find out, read this great story by Kaylie Newell. Can't wait to see what's in store next!

Excellent Story

Tanner and Francie will have you in their corner cheering them on as they journey along the road to happily ever after. When Tanner found himself responsible for his little sister, he was in a bind because it came at a time when his business was at a make or break level. Francie came back right in the nick of time. She needed help with her yard and Tanner needed help in the form of a sitter for his sister. What they hadn't expected was the connection that they would have for each other and how it built into something more.

This is a story about a woman moving back to her home town. She was the beauty, who was homecoming queen and dated the football hero. Things aren't always as it seems. She runs into the awkward not in school, who she liked. They endeavor on a new friendship and budding romance. Ok read.

I really enjoyed this story. Tanner has a lot of insecurities when it comes to trusting his heart. He loves his sister but how does a man raise a young sister on his own? His dream girl comes into the picture and shows him. With tenderness and love, that’s how.

Marietta newest family is so believable .

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2018

I have been waiting for this Marietta book to come out for a while and when it did Tanner Harlow's school life reminded so much of my school life that it simple blew me away. I sat and read this book in one sitting. It is no surprise to those who know my reviews that I would be reading this Marietta based book because well it has become by adopted hometown. But this book touched more to me than simply being part of a community that touches my soul. This book is about three brothers who are there for their tween step-sister. Tanner had issues in school and when his mom passes he is left to take care of his step-sister who needs him more than ever. Sadly his Aunt wants to pull his sister away and take her to Hawaii to live with her there after the summer months are over and this is just part of the storyline that gets to me. Tanner owns a landscaping company, no he is not a gardner or a yard boy as some seem to think. Boy do I know that feeling in life. Then he runs into the girl who seems to be the only one who saw him when he was in high school. Like really saw him and not his stutter... Francie Tate. She is back in Marietta and is a school teacher herself. This is one of those books that once I picked it up it was like Kaylie Newell was writing for me to read this. Like she knew I WAS going to read this and she was saying "I see YOU and I know You and You are Important to Me. I can not wait for the next Hallow brother's story and to see who he meets in Marietta and how they interact with these three.

A sweet story, a sweet romance.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2020

I enjoyed this story. Yes, there were similarities in the plot, a few but just enough difference to make it interesting. The characters were very well defined, their problems, their childhoods, the difficulties as adults trying to get past all that, made the story flow without becoming tedious. It had small moments of humor, just enough to break up the drama. Well paced. It made me laugh, made me tear up a few times too. The importance of family came out loud and clear, it was told in just the right way. Struggling to raise a little sister when her mother had died, Tanner, her big brother, was at a loss as to what to do and how to do it. She was a half sister, but that didn't make any difference to him. With 2 older brothers coming home soon, he knew he'd have help, but still, how to handle it in the meantime. Francie, his childhood, school time friend (and secret crush) was grown up and had come to Marietta to live and teach. They meet and the sparks, of course, began. Their story was so well told, without being totally dragged out, with just enough insight to both their problems, to me was what the story was mostly about. It was a completely enjoyable read and I'd recommend it to anyone that wants to read a true romance and can finish it with a smile. I love a good HEA and this is definitely one.
