Review: Boone (Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas Series) by Emily March

From New York Times bestselling author Emily March comes the next novel in the critically acclaimed Eternity Springs series and the final novel in the trilogy about the McBrides of Texas.

FROM DEEP IN THE HEART OF A TEXAN

With his smooth talk, rugged good looks, and deep pockets, native Texan Boone McBride appears to be a man who has it all. Few people know about the heartbreak behind his decision to leave home, family, and career for the isolation of a small town in the Colorado Rockies. Luckily, time and life in Eternity Springs has worked its healing magic upon his wounded soul, so when he meets obviously troubled Hannah Dupree, Boone sees a chance to pay his good fortune forward. The last thing he anticipates is tumbling into love.

Tragedy has taken everything Hannah loves, and her will to keep going is failing. So when Boone strides into her life determined to save her, it’s easier to go along with him than to resist. Soon she is drawn into the fabric of life in Eternity Springs, and as her spirit begins to heal, her strength returns, and she’s able to go toe-to-toe with this hardheaded, big-hearted Texan. But just when love blooms and happiness is within their grasp, shadows from the past threaten. Hannah and Boone must stand strong and united in order to defeat old ghosts—if they are to create a brand-new life together.

What I thought about Boone

Boone McBride rescues grieving Hannah Dupree in her moment of despair and they work together to find their way out of past tragedies to embrace a future together.  

That's it in a nutshell. I'm not sure why I chose this book to review as it is part of a trilogy that is part of a larger series.  Lots of books.  I was worried going in that I wouldn't be able to follow everything, but that was not a problem. This worked well as a standalone. 

I found myself pulled into Hannah and Boone's story. They've both experienced such sadness in their lives. The "angel" theme also spoke to me.  This is just a sweet love story.  The love part happens pretty fast, but it was easy to see how that could happen based on the circumstances of their meeting.  It was also easy to want them to heal from their wounds together.

I wasn't a big fan of the "that's a story for another time" method of giving the reader small chunks of the backstory, but that's my personal preference.

Overall, this was a sweet HEA romance that sucked me in from the start and kept me reading until the end.  I liked these characters and I'd look for future books from this author.

An ARC was received from the publisher. This is my honest review.
