The Cowgirl's Forever Love

The Colemans of Heart Falls, Book 1

By: Vivian Arend

Narrated by: Tatiana Sokolov

The first stand-alone novel in a new trilogy by New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.

Return to Heart Falls - a place for family, friends, and falling in love.

Lisa Coleman committed to stay in Heart Falls until her sister’s baby arrives, but after that, she’s moving on. She’s not sure exactly what is on the agenda, so it’s good to still have a few months to figure out her dreams. While she’s waiting, there’s no reason she can’t enjoy herself with the very sexy local veterinarian. A naughty interlude with a man who knows all the right moves would be the perfect distraction from Coleman chaos: newborn baby! New dog! New found family?

Josiah Ryder is beginning to feel women only want him for one thing. Playing fast and loose was fun in the past, but it’s time for a change. He’s ready to prove he’s in it for the long haul, but the one woman he truly wants insists she’s in town for six months and not a moment longer. He’ll have to pull out all the stops to make Lisa realize nothing out there can compete with finding forever right under her nose.

It's All in the (Cue) Cards

Lisa Coleman and Josiah Ryder are cute and so easy to love! This was my second read of this book. I loved revisiting them, and it was all the sweeter because I've read the rest of the books that came before it - Rocky Mountain House (Six Pack Ranch and Thompson & Sons combined) and The Stones of Heart Falls series.

One subplot that had a bigger impact now that I've read the Rocky Mountain House series is George Coleman and how he really turned things around. I loved seeing that! Of course, reading my original review shows that prior reading wasn't necessary.

I read along with the audio book. Tatiana Sokolov does a great job even if I'd like a male counterpart on occasion.

Great plot.

This was an interesting and enjoyable book.
It has the right amount of fun and than it has
just the right amount of drama that rounds of
the hole story just nicely.
Like usual the narrator has done a brilliant job
of bringing the characters and book alive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audiobook.

Not the best by this author

I love Vivian Arend’s books, but I didn’t really care for this story. Most characters in her books come alive on the pages but not this one. Still an OK read, but not outstanding!

Giddy Up!

I enjoyed listening to this story. I just love that small town romance vibe. I got a little lost when Heart Falls references were made but since i listened to Rocky Mountain i figured it out. Not totally a bad thing though because now i wanna go back and listen to Heart Falls so winning.. can’t wait for book 2 👍🏽

Life Can Surprise You

Lisa is in Heart Falls to help her sister who is having a tough pregnancy, she didn’t expect to fall for sweet and sexy local Vet, Josiah, but he is so irresistible and makes her question her future in the best way in this sweet tale. Good performance.

How to tell a guy you want him forever

It was so easy to lose yourself while getting immersed in this book. The love between Josiah and Lisa just blew me away! The family dynamics of the Coleman ladies continue to twist their way into your hearts.
This is the first book in the Colemans of Heart Falls series and a great one for the series start. As always, I am looking forward to reading what Vivian Arend has next. Recommended read. It continues to be a pleasure listening to this series with Tatiana Sokolov narrating.

Cowboy Take Me Away

You have to love a cowboy, respectful, loving, and a family man. I really enjoyed this story. I didn't realize it was a spin-off from the Rocky Mountan series and Heart Falls series or I would have completed Heart Falls first. But I knew enough about the characters to understand the other's in the book. I love how all the families around the area are so close and help the others out. Nothing like a small town romance, it just gives you all the feels. I think the narrator did a pretty good job, considering she was the only voice. I can't imagine how hard it is to voice all the characters on your own. Can't wait to start Book 2. Now, where's my cowboy? 🤣

Dynamic Duo Do It Again

Whats not to like .... Vivian, Tatiana & the Colemans back together again !! Tatiana manages to bring Vivian's funny loving Coleman stories to life. Great to get a glimpse into the sisters lives from previous books as Lisa gets her HEA. And oh my the brief snippet of Karen's book, well I cant wait.

sweet and sexy romance

Short-term dating (Lisa is leaving soon to travel), big family, small town, very cute pup, male self-conscious about body

I loved both Lisa and Josiah.

Standalone but probably best if read about Tamara and Caleb first (first book in Heart Falls series)

Tatiana Sokolov is now a favorite for these books and can't imagine another voice.

Friends to Lovers

Lisa wants more for her life. She is helping her pregnant sister with her other 2 kids. Once all is settled Lisa will be off on her next adventure. Josiah wants to settle down but is nervous to get involved with a woman who only wants his money. Josiah is intrigued by Lisa's independence. How does he convince her to stay? This audiobook was entertaining and well narrated by Tatiana Sokoloff.
