Nick and Emmelina....love this series!
This is the second book in the Jamison valley series but can be read as a stand alone. This is Nick and Emmelina's story. No one knows how the know each other in Preston.. Nick makes sure his friends know the very abbreviated version and she wasn't at fault. They have both not forgotten about each other in their years apart and he's willing to fight and is thinks she need to end their story. This had lots of great heart felt moments, laugh out loud, make you tear up and even suspense at times. So glad I found this series. You don't have to read the first book but bit helps enhance all the other characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Loved, would recommend to everyone, only a small issue
I love a Vegas accidental marriage and this book delivered all the iconic Vegas vibes but the next morning my heart fucking broke. Nick and Emmy had one memorable night that ended in an abandoned wedding ring, a one word note and 9 years of separation. Then when Emmy decides to change her life she runs into her long lost husband. Not only did Devney set up one series with this book but she set up two (Clifton Forge + Lark Cove).
Devney is the queen of second chance and she absolutely delivered on this one because Nick's only goal was to make it up to the love of his wife. We love it when a man recognises he is the problem but at times he was a little bit of OTT although I am stupid because I still swooned over him. Both Emmy and Nick had extremely complex family drama but Emmy's is by far the worst I had never read anything like that, my poor heart broke for my angel girl.
THE ENDING! absolutely blind sided me and Devney always keeps you hooked until the last minute.
Tropes: second chance, accidental marriage, one night stand
Triggers: emotionally abusive father, MC Club, attempted kidnapping, stalking
The Coppersmith Farmhouse: ⭐⭐
The Clover Chapel:⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
The Lucky Heart:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Outpost: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Bitterroot Inn: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

this plot was like how you would mash letters together by keyboard smashing.

I’m conflicted. Devney’s books usually EAT but this one just did not do it for me. I was rockin with the concept of the book but not the execution. So they get married in Vegas nine years ago an nick leaves to “keep her safe” then Emmy coincidentally moves to where Nick lives and suddenly he wants her and loves her? They literally knew each other for 5 hours and apparently were in love. Idk
