I loved Warner and Tenley. And the rest of the Hayden family is back as well with all the familial love and support anyone could want.

Ms. Millikin is becoming one of my new favorite authors and I can't wait to read more about this family.

This was a good read! I have read the first book in this series, but I feel like you could pick this one up and not have any problems following the story. The writing flowed well from start to finish, and I loved Tenley and Warner together! It took Warner a long time to see that his marriage had been over a long time before she served him with divorce papers. I hated for him to have to go through that, but it was something that he had to do to be able to move on. Tenley was sweet, and I liked that she didn't treat everyone around her like they were beneath her. I was expecting more drama from the kids or Anna, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it all worked out. I would have liked to have a resolution with the whole parent situation, and I feel like the thing with Calvin was just kind of thrown in. It was mentioned and dismissed all on one page. The ending was sweet though, and I can't wait to find out what happens with Wyatt!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

This was a cute relationship but felt like a lot of fluff and not much story

Finished this book a few days  ago and don’t remember most of the details, but it was a quick enjoyable read. 

I thought I was going to like this one more based on the interactions with Warner in the first book because he seemed to be a bit of a jokester and a romantic. But he seemed like a different character in this book.

* * I HAD BEEN GIVEN AN ADVANCED READERS COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW * *

It's not as spicy as I have been reading....

But it's not fade to black lol.

This is the second book I have read if Jennifer Millikin and I am excited to read more.

Seeing love after divorce is a great little trope that I didn't realize I needed in my life. I love single dad's and instant connection books. But this through in a whole new love. And there felt like there was real feelings behind it all.

The emotions about coping with the loss of a marriage. The emotions of being confused feeling something so strong after desolution of a marriage.

I really enjoyed watching the relationship of Warren and Tenley grow and change.

10/10 would recommend!!

This is the second book in the Hayden Family series. I love books about cowboys and the woman they love, but won’t admit it to themselves!! Warner is a single dad with two kids and is in denial about a lot of things in his life. Tenley is an actress who may want a different life. Can they find what they truly want in life? I’m can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I’m looking forward to learning more about the youngest Hayden.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Recommend this book? Yes! Author? Yes!
Read more from this author? Yes!

Happy Reading!

I can honestly say that as much as I would love to be famous, I would absolutely lose my ever loving mind if my business was splashed across magazines and newspapers day in and day out. 
 
I quite enjoyed this story, and finished it in a matter of hours. Enjoyed it to the point where I know I should have been doing homework, but pushed it to the side for this book. Tenley and Warner deserved each other in every way and it had my heart clenching. 
 
One of my favorite aspects about Tenley was how down to Earth she was. Maybe it was because of her childhood, or maybe it was thanks to her best friend, but she didn’t act like a famous actress which made this story work in all the best of ways. 
 
Warner… poor Warner tbh. I’ll admit I was not a fan of Anna and what she put him through, but the way she stood up for him in the end earned her one extra point. Warner deserved the world and more, and I was so happy he found it in Tenley. 
 
This book was consuming, and I’ll be honest and say that it had me fiending for the next book because Wyatt Hayden deserves love!𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬
