Classic love story about two recent divorcees finding love where they least expect it. Sylvia Sawyer is a single mother who never fails to put her kids and everyone around her before herself. Henry DeSantis is Cloverleigh Farm's resident wine connoisseur who can't help the attraction he feels the moment this Sawyer sister walks through his door. Sylvia and Henry find themselves falling fast, but these two know better than anyone that love isn't always a walk in the park.
So my thoughts are that the story was not particularly revolutionary -- which is perhaps due to the short length of the book -- but was overall was pretty cute. I liked the characters, but they weren't different from characters I've read about before and their relationship pretty much read the same way - nice but nothing new. Which isn't bad, but will likely not be remembered in a couple weeks.

It's perfect to be home again
Following the Sawyer sisters of Cloverleigh farms had been a great journey so far. I looked forward to Sylvia's journey so much. I feel her pain, I've been in her shoes. And all I've ever wanted was someone like Henry. To see her, help her believe in herself, make her feel beautiful and wanted. But the craziness of trying to give your kids all you need that leads to you being on the back burner. I want to know what they have. And I hope J.Crew Kimmy finds a cheating Brett (I know it's mean, but sorry not sorry!)

Yes to this one! Among the series, I think this is my favourite. This has to be the best one in the series. It’s heartfelt, heartwarming and at times heartbreaking, basically all kinds of hearts! This is a beautiful second chance romance with off the charts chemistry and sizzling sexual tension.
Definitely worth the read!

This was a great edition to the Cloverleigh Farms series. This story follows Sylvia, who is the oldest sister and she is recently divorced and she decides to go back home to here family with her two kids. Henry is intelligent when it comes to wine, he drinks and breathes wine after his divorce from his ex wife. Since Henry and Sylvia have both experience heartbreak they decide to give each other a chance but in secret.
Sylvia and Henry are a great match, they are both experienced when it comes to marriage and heartbreak. When it comes to their relationship, it's fresh and exciting. Sylvia and Henry are definitely my favorite couple so far in this series. I loved how Henry acted with the rest of the Sawyer family as well as Sylvia's kids. Series like this one are always so nice to read when it comes to seeing characters from past books and for the main and side characters interactions.

I was so looking forward to this book! I love this series!!! However as much as I wanted to absolutely love it I just thought it was good. I felt like the whole storyline was rushed and jumped around a lot. I wanted to see Henry interact with the kids way more to make it more believable. I felt that there was lead up to things and then were just sort of skipped over. I will probably reread it again at a later date to see if I still feel the same way. I love Melanie Harlow so maybe it was just the mood I’m in that I feel this way about it! I will update my review when I reread.
I absolutely love Melanie Harlow. The Cloverleigh Series has been such a fun ride for me. Over the past couple of days, I actually went back re-read the first two and then read the 3rd for the first time before diving into this one.
You do not need to read the rest of the series to be able to read this one, but I do suggest it. They are all standalone novels, but they are interconnected. Each book focuses on a couple, but you get glimpses at the others throughout the book.
Unbreakable is everything. Sylvia was me after a very bad relationship ended. Her fears, her insecurities. I felt everything. And Henry is EVERYTHING I never saw coming. His own fears and insecurities. His filthy mouth that legit had me fanning myself wishing MY own husband talked like that. They are everything together. And Henry definitely made his mark on my book boyfriend list.
This book was packed full of emotion and you feel every single thing throughout Melanie’s writing. The details have you feeling as though you are right there with them. Their tears are your tears, their fears are your fears… you see it, feel it, experience it as though you are living right then and there.
I really hope we get April’s story soon. Just getting more of a look into her in this book alone has me needing to know her story.
Five beautiful stars for this beautifully written single mom, second chance at love romance that has you falling head over heals in love with Henry and Sylvia.

This felt so... stilted? Henry and Sylvia were sooo formal... I guess their names suited them.
But... once again, in this series one of the divorced parents just buggers off and is never heard from again? Yes, the kids, hopefully, in the long run are way better off without them... but why does this have to be a theme in this series?
And please do not get me started on Whitney... a few sessions of therapy and she is all altruistic? Nahh... teenagers are inherently selfish and would not change their minds that quickly... granted, this isn't a universal truth... but is more the norm than not.
The way that Sylvia handled Keaton? Not good - she didn't even need to mention it to him... he was patently looking for an outlet and all she had to do was give him options... which he happily took up rather than associating food with feeling unhappy. Sighs.

This was quite sweet with an unexpectedly dirty, sexy side. Sylvia and Henry's chemistry was palpable from the start - and while not necessarily fun, I'm glad they both came into the relationship with some baggage they were working on. Sylvia's martyrdom went a bit overboard in my opinion and that did impact my overall feelings on this book.
April's story is next and it seems like it's going to be really interesting - it'll be bittersweet to leave the Sawyer family behind.

This was great.
My favorite so far, there's only one book left and I think I'm gonna love that even more. I hope I do.
Sylvia just got divorced (she had a cheating bastard of an ex husband that I want to die btw) and is moving back home, along with her two children. After being there for a very short time, she decides to greet Henry— our hero. Henry, also got recently divorced. So, being that they had so much in common, they strike up a friendship. But the attraction is there. They go from there.
What I enjoyed so much was how understanding and supportive our hero was. I mean, I know that's like the bare minimum, but in romances once a guy gets divorced, he becomes this damaged broody hero that's so stand-offish and stupid. It was refreshing to read about a divorced guy who's willing to find someone to settle down with, without hesitation whatsoever.
What I found lacking was Henry's relationship with the kids. In the single parent aspect, the first book slaps this book so hard it vanishes. Henry bonds with one kid. Just the one. And it irked me that he didn't have that relationship with Whitney. Idk, maybe it's just me.
Ps. Is it mean of me to wish Cheating Brett and J.Crew Kimmy suffers for all eternity? I can't find it in myself to be the bigger person and let these assholes be, I hate cheaters. I want to be petty as fuck honestly and shove Sylvia and Henry's relationship down the throats of these characters so hard, they choke and die. Kinda morbid but that's how this mind works.
