Needing to start over, Hailey finds herself at Walker Ranch. What was supposed to be time to regroup and lick wounds ends up being time working on the ranch to help the family. But from the first time Bradley shakes her hand to the lust filled gazes across the field, there is a spark and connection between Hailey and Bradley. But can two broken souls come together and build a romance when all of their other hopes were destroyed? Can they both learn to live as they learn to love again? With emotions that completely dripped off of each and every page and characters that the reader cannot help but fall in love with this was an amazing start to a new series. I cannot wait to see where the story takes us next.

Bradley and Hailey's story was a delicious slow burn. Full of heart, lust and sweetness. I devoured it as quickly as I could- and then the bonus chapter too! Which was the icing on an already extraordinary cake.

I can't wait to read everyone else's story. I can tell I'm going to fall even more in love with Walker Ranch and it's amazing inhabitants.

Make Me Whole is my first read by AK MacBride and also the beginning of a series, and I'm pretty impressed with both. The book is well-written with good pacing and engaging characters. Bradley and Hailey are both a bit broken and they both have some things to work through. Their chemistry is so good and they're relatable. MacBride has painted a whole cast of characters that just feel real, they're like people we could see on any street in any town, USA. And given that there are so many likable characters to choose from, I'll be interested to see who finds that special someone next. This one was a little bit too angsty for me, but that's just my personal preference, and the reasons for the angst made sense. All in all, AK MacBride pulled out all the stops with this first in the series, and she's set the bar high for the next lucky couple.

Typically, I prefer reading (and reviewing) paranormal or historical romance. That’s really my happy place when it comes to romance. I don’t venture too far outside this little box. Why would I? I know what I like and I like what I like! BUT…A.K. MacBride is an author I will always say yes to! Having read her Willow Creek series, I was looking forward to all the feels again and she didn’t disappoint.

Make Me Whole is a “fairly” clean second chance romance. I say fairly because there is still plenty of heat and naughty thoughts. The chemistry between Hailey and Bradley smolders.
