What Happens in Idaho

De: Bonnie Jo Pierson

Narrado por: Matt Godfrey, Stephanie Cozart

Despite saving people’s lives every day as a successful trauma surgeon, nothing can mend Dr. Liliana Chase’s heart after the loss of her husband and baby girl.

When her mother convinces her to come back to Clear Springs, Idaho, for the first time in seven years, she intends to make the visit as short as possible. What she didn’t expect was to wreck her car while avoiding a cow with a death wish.

Blake Richardson, a mechanic and single dad, isn’t used to helping fiery physicians, but he can’t leave Lili planted in a potato field and facing off with a cow. He swears he’ll never let another woman into his world after the way his ex-wife left him, but something about Lili keeps him from seeing her as just another big-city doctor.

While Lili is stuck waiting for her car to be repaired in the tiny rural town, she can’t resist the pull Blake has on her. Blake’s fun-loving and genuine personality might be enough to make her believe in love again. But there’s a secret weighing heavily on Blake, and his connection to the death of Lili’s family will force them both to confront their fears of loss and abandonment, or risk being alone forever.

Idaho love

Amazing book by an amazing author! Filled with tears, suspense, and happiness! The story line was amazing. However, you can tell the narrator has never been to Idaho because the Idaho characters had a southern accent and Idahoans do not have southern accents. That’s the only critique I have about the performance. Overall I would recommend this book everyday!

Charming small town romance

What Happens in Idaho by Bonnie Pierson is a delightful romance that combines the charm of small-town life with a heartwarming tale of new beginnings and second chances.

Lili’s journey from heartache to love is paced with forgiveness and self-discovery. Her journey is relatable and enjoyable, while Blake’s character is genuine and a steady presence who helps her rebuild her faith in love.

What sets What Happens in Idaho apart is its realistic portrayal of love after loss and a genuine romance that isn’t rushed. Pierson balances humor and heartfelt emotion, making it easy to root for Lili and Blake as they navigate their struggles and overcome the past and come closer to each other. This is a perfect read for anyone who loves romances about fresh starts, and overcoming big obstacles to achieve genuine connection.

Emotional and sweet

First of all, getting to read a book that takes place where you live and grew up is absolutely amazing! It brings an added dimension & touch of nostalgia to the overall story.
This story was so raw and filled with so much emotion & past trauma. Lili had so much trauma from her childhood & early adulthood, she tried to insulate herself from ever having to feel like that again, but she slowly realizes that you can’t just run from your past and your trauma.
Blake has carried guilt for over a decade and he has had to try to live his life the best that he could while carrying that burden, even though the guilt was never his to carry.
This was an amazing emotional story that was full of family, love, forgiveness, & healing.
There was amazing chemistry between Lili & Blake, the banter between everyone was amazing and Maddie just absolutely stole the show, she was such an amazing character, she was a total sweetheart, & so incredibly real.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
