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.
Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Boone is the third book in the Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas series by Emily March. Each book features a different couple and that's why I would say they are stand alones. The McBrides are three brothers and Boone is the last one to get his happy ending which means that it's the last book in the series.
I disliked the previous two books, so I have no idea what drove me to read this one, but in the end, I am glad I did. For a change, I actually liked this book and I would even recommend it! I feel that the book should come with some potential trigger warnings such as the loss of a child and thoughts of suicide. It's highly emotional and some people might have a problem reading it. The book is a second chance romance, but not in the usual way. Boone and Hannah met for the first time in this book in the present time. I do consider it a second chance because the first time around marriage and family didn't end up well for either of them.
Hannah and Boone have tragic pasts. Hannah's was the most horrible of the two and I totally understand why she gave up everything and started living in a nomadic way. Both of them have lost so many things, so this book is a journey towards healing and finding themselves again. Boone is in a much better place than Hanna is though. The characters were well developed. They had their skeletons which explained their hang-ups in the present (if I may call them that) and how their personalities were shaped when the book began.
The only issue I had with the book is that it felt a little rushed in the end, with some things barely explained and just tied up in a nice bow. My overall impression of the book is a positive one though!
