Knitted Hearts

Poplar Falls, Book 6

By: Amber Kelly

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Melissa Moran

An emotional, passionate second-chance romance in the Poplar Falls series from Amber Kelly

Sometimes you have to lose control to have it all....

I’ve always longed to start a family of my own. I throw everything I have into every relationship. Too bad I seem to attract the fixer-uppers. You know the type—the boys with all the potential but none of the drive. I thought Ricky was different, the one who would finally step up and be the man I’d been dreaming about all these years—ever since I lost my father when I was a little girl. I didn’t realize the dream would turn out to be a nightmare.

So here I am. Twenty-four years old, on the verge of divorce, and trying not to think about what my daddy would say while I hold on to the last threads of my life to keep it all from unraveling.

It’s all going fine until Foster Tomlin swaggers into my life. The sexy-as-sin former soldier works on my best friend’s family ranch, and there’s no getting around him or what I’m feeling. He doesn’t need fixing up. He’s perfect the way he is. The way he looks at and treats me makes me feel things I’ve sworn off for good. And when he wraps his arms around me, I find myself letting go of all the things I thought I wanted and needed.

The question is…can I take a risk and put my heart on the line again?

Friends to Lovers, Small Town Romance

3.5 Stars

I'm not going to lie, this wasn't the perfect ending to the series, but I did still quite enjoy the overall story. Honestly, my only issue with this one was the ending. Everything felt very rushed right at the end and there was no real discussion between Foster and Sonia about any of the issues that arose between the two of them. Outside of that, I did enjoy the story and characters quite a bit. I liked how the relationship between them developed, the slow build to more between them was handled really well. I'm glad both of them found someone who really loved the other for who they really were. They may have stumbled along the way, but they found there way back to each other, and I did love how they supported each other.

Amber Kelly is an author I will definitely be checking out more from. I'm looking forward to jumping into her most recent series, Balsam Ridge. I loved the small town aspect of this series, and the close family and friends were a major highlight of this series. I just know the other work from Amber Kelly is going to have those same things, and I'm looking forward to that.

Didn't see that end coming at all!

Great second chance romance for both characters. This was a bit shorter compared to the rest of the books in the series. A couple of times, I felt that there was more that could have been said. Like maybe the author was rushed when she wrote this one. That's my biggest complaint... I wish there had been more of Sonya and Foster! The climax and the end of the book were really close together, and I would have loved to see them 'together' just a little longer. Overall, a great listen.
