Absolutely Beautiful

The emotional depth and connection of this story makes me feel like it owns a piece of my soul.
 
Beefcake has stolen the show since book 1, and oh my beating heart (see what I did there) I love that little boy so dang much. Nash is such an amazing father, and his and Cutler’s journey is one that will definitely give you all the feels.

The relationship between Emerson and Cutler is one of the sweetest and most heartwarming things I’ve read. It’s so genuine and real, and I cannot get enough of it.
 
As a mama to a little boy with asthma, I sincerely appreciate the attention to detail that Laura put into this book. The fear and concern that Nash felt…so authentic and I’ve been there. It makes me love this book even more.
 
This book had me laughing, swooning, and getting all teary eyed. I love these characters. I love the friend group. I love the group text chats. It is an absolute masterpiece that is guaranteed to steal your heart.

I can’t get enough!

Can I please move to Magnolia Falls.
This series has such a hold on me. I knew I would Nash, but once again Cutler Beefcake Heart stole this book. Emerson, the new pediatrician never had plans to stay past 6 months, and she didn’t have plans to fall in love. The chemistry between Nash and Emerson would make you melt. And the love she had for Beefcake would make your heart explode. Although this is book 4 it can be read as a standalone, but you definitely need to immerse yourself into Magnolia Falls.
I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton, and oh my heavenly stars they knocked it out of the park. I felt like I was in Magnolia Falls. The banter between the guys and the connection between the girls was so good. I can’t recommend this book enough!!! So good!

Beefcake has my heart

This has been my favorite book thus far in the series! I can’t wait for Hayes book and Emerson’s brothers books.

Perfect in every way!

I loved this book so much Laura Pavlov can DO NO WRONG! This book was freaking adorable and beautiful. I could not put it down. Every time I read a Laura book I try to savor it but I get hooked and it’s over too quickly.

The audiobook was perfect. Narrated by two of my all-time favorites, Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton, completely knocked it out of the park! They bring the characters to life in the most magical way.

Emerson, Nash, and Beefcake were perfection. My heart was so full reading this. It lived up to everything I wanted it to be! Every moment of Beefcake was the best. He is the cutest kid to ever exist. Emerson, Nash, and Beefcake together are such an adorable family. The extended family of the Ride or Die guys and their girls just made me so happy. Laura's family vibes are one of the reasons she is my favorite author!

Tropes:
💚 Small Town
💚 Neighbors to Lovers
💚 Protective Hero
💚 Single Dad
💚The Cutest Kid Ever!
💚 HE. FALLS. FIRST.
💚 Dr. Heroine

My FAVORITE of the series!!

Listening or reading a Laura Pavlov book is like having comfort food.... I want to devour it and then I constantly crave more. I have LOVED this world in Magnolia Falls, and I knew from Book 1 that Nash's story would be one of my favorites because of my love of single dad romance. And Laura Pavlov DELIVERED!!!

Not only had I fallen for Nash in Books 1-3 in the series, but I was completely smitten with his son Cutler (Beefcake), and my love for both of them only grew in Beating Heart. Cutler is one of those kids whose heart is so big you will shed tears for how sweet and compassionate he is, and your mama bear instincts will come out to protect him at all costs. I swooned over and over again at Nash's loyalty and commitment to being the best dad possible for Cutler, as well as protecting him like no other. These two together make a son-dad duo unlike any other I've read, and I'm begging for more of this family.

Emerson is the perfect, and I mean PERFECT, partner for Nash and mother-figure for Cutler. Her sassy spirit with Nash and her loving and nurturing nature with Cutler make her one of my favorite heroines in this series. The chemistry between her & Nash is real and raw, and I cheered her on from beginning to end.

I absolutely loved this couple and their little family with Cutler, but more than that - I LOVE this world of characters. There is no shortage of witty texts between the guys, and feisty and fierce loyalty with the girl gang. And bonus... we get to meet the next cast of characters for Laura's new series coming soon!!! I already know I'm going to love each and every one of them. I both love and hate finishing a book by Laura because now I know I must wait until the next. BRAVO once again L Pavlov!!!

Loved Nash and Emerson

Beating Heart is the 4th book in the Magnolia Falls Series, but can be read as a standalone.

Oh Laura, you have outdone your self again. This book is everything we needed. It’s sweet, hot,sexy, funny, full of banter and love.
Emerson is the new town physician who is running from her past. Little did she know that this town would fill her in more ways than one. Nash and beefcake have been each other’s everything for a long time, until Emerson. This brief enemies to lovers turned quickly and I’m her for it! Because their pasts they were guarded, but they slowly started to bring each other back to life. If you have read the other books in the series you know Cutler Aka beefcake has been the light. He’s so cute, witty and funny. Laura wrote this little guys story so well. As always, I love getting an update on all the couples and the band of brothers. Love seeing the text chains, and bond that they continue to have no matter what. The audiobook is narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton. They were the perfect Nash and Emerson. The changes of narration and the characterizations they performed were spot on and I couldn’t stop listening. Great read and listen. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This is BeefCakes book so the best book

I knew this one was going to make me cry!!

Single dad romance & best of all Beef Cake 😍 he got his girl! This was Beef Cakes book and he took center stage.

New pediatric doctor in town Emerson & she lives next to a hot single dad!! Yes please!

Laura does it again with the small town romance. I love the banter & the spice & best of all I love that none of the books have a third act breakup.

I’m ready for the 5th book that comes out in a few days!

My favorite in the series

I was so excited for Nash and Beefcake's story and this by far is my favorite in the series. I always loved Nash throughout this series he truly is an amazing dad. Emerson was the perfect fit for Nash and Beefcake, I loved the family they became. It's always nice seeing all the other characters in this series and how their stories all come together. I can't wait to read Finding Hayes!

I loved the audio, Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton were absolutely amazing bringing these characters to life.

Love a good small town romance

This story was so adorable. Beefcake 100% stole the show. I was so happy to see Nash get his happily ever after. He deserved it! Emerson’s love for sweet little cutler (beefcake) was adorable. I loved their little relationship they had. Cutler deserved someone to love him and his dad.

Loved it so much!

The best in this series so far and I loved Kings book! Loved Nash and Beefcake so much- so happy Teddy was the voice for Nash- he is my fav!
