 I am loving Moose Village and the fun, loving characters that live there. Declan and Harper are back in each other's orbit and there's a connection that they can't deny. He's the protective hero, former military on his way to being a small town police officer. She's the sweet, smart, talented woman that he thought he should stay away from. The pull is strong, there's heat, there's sweet, and some great laughs. Along with those laughs, there are moments that twist the heart, a bit of nail biting, and so much more. It's a great read that works on any TBR list.

Kelly Elliott has created a special place, a special couple, and a different take on some favorite tropes. Moose Village welcomes Declan home after his being discharged from the military. But the home he anticipated isn’t quite the same, especially things between Harper and his brother. There is plenty going on as Harper and Declan navigate the sizzling chemistry, family interests, and small town dating life. 
Come join the fun in Moose Village. This can be read as a standalone, but recommended that you read the series in order to fully enjoy!

Declan and Harper have had a crush on each other since they were kids, but he was leaving for the Marines and he did not act. Now will they get a second chance as adults? Declan has left the military and is looking to be a police officer. After all these years, he still wants a chance with her, he just need to take his shot. 

This was a fun read that keeps you hooked from early on in the story. There hare several spots where you can't help but laugh. Once the truth comes out, these two characters a beautiful life together, and the chemistry they have is sizzling. They have so much love for each other, but they also support and build each other up. Declan and Harper are great characters and a great addition to the Moose Village series. I cannot wait to see what is in store for us next. 

Received ARC from author and Grey's Promotions for honest review.

This is the second book in the moose village series. I did not read the first book but, I believe the first book probably explains some things that you may need to know. But, this book focuses on Harper and Declan. Harper is four years younger than Declan and she went to school with his younger brother Sean. Declan has always had a thing for Harper. Declan enlisted in the service and did not want to have anyone waiting at home for him or ask her to leave with him, since he was involved in dangerous missions. When Sean begins dating Harper he decides not to come home to witness this. Now five years later those two have broken up and Declan has decided not to reenlist and maybe approach Harper. He comes home full of optimism only to find out that Sean and Harper are back together again. But, this time things are different. There’s a spark between him and Harper.  Harper and Sean are acting strange. All isn’t as it appears. Cute story with lots of family influence and interference. This was a great good feeling book with two people finding their one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  |  This Feeling – Kelly Elliott


Kelly Elliott did it again with a heart-squeezing, soul-soothing small-town romance that left me grinning like a fool and clutching my chest. This Feeling is everything I want in a cowboy love story—charm, chemistry, and characters that feel like home.


From the moment these two crossed paths, the slow burn was perfection. The banter? Flirty and fun. The emotion? Deep and raw. And the spice? Just enough heat to have me kicking my feet.


The sense of community, the family ties, the tender moments tucked between heartbreak and healing… this book gave me all the feels. Kelly’s cowboys always hit different, and this one? He’s the kind of man you dream about—protective, patient, and full of passion.


If you’re craving a swoony, southern romance with that signature Kelly Elliott charm, This Feeling needs to be at the top of your TBR. You’ll feel every word, every kiss, every second. And you won’t want it to end

This is yet another wonderful small-town romance, the setting of Moose Village is a favourite and we are back for book two... and I can’t wait for more!

This Feeling is focused on Harper, village local who was dumped (accidentally publicly) by her boyfriend, Sean. He then asks her to fake date him as his mother is trying to set him up!?! Sean’s older brother has returned from the military, and this is making Harper regret her decision to help Sean, as Declan has captured her imagination.

Declan is kind, caring and confident, he isn’t worried about his mother’s interference as he knows his own mind and what he wants - Harper. He is a wonderful male lead and perfect for Harper.

I highly recommend this book and this series. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Everybody in Moose Village see yay! This book blew me away . It’s great ,entertaining as all heck and phew that Declan , check ✔️ know what I mean cos he a dream… 😮‍💨 Supreme storytelling Kelly Elliott an absolute dream of a book . So now that I’ve let ya know about the bookboyfriend vibe I can get going ,and describe well he did get me going if you get my drift and oooh the shift in heat between those brothers . Move over let the military show how it’s done Sean. Declan moves back home after the fighting’s done and he’s looking forward to seeing his hon …well it seems at first that he was mistaken and her and his bro hadn’t split up ?? But Harper ,she’s different with him somehow ,nit as smitten it’s written in her face and what a beautiful face it is ,he’s dreamed for far too long she was his to kiss. Something is amiss he can feel it. She’s just been publicly dumped and now she’s agreed to fake date the chump!? Here’s a hunk waiting in the wings and she does one of these silly things ! The jerk wants his matchmaking ma off bis back, what should she care ,but she got wise and has made her price known . Giants season tickets ,she wants to own. Though Declan watched from afar he knew he could wait it out without a doubt she’d be his . The chemistry is off the charts and both of them wear their hearts on their sleeve . Even while her and his brother are out to deceive their mom. This writing is so perfectly divine , written with such aplomb , I absolutely love this storytelling style it’s the bomb and I read this book with a smile mostly . Yep emotionally I was spent ,in my element . I mean wow .just wow! Great storyline , great characters ,the whole darn lot divine. I want what Moose Village has got ,but ,I mean ya know there’s always one with who you can’t get on ,even if it is a small town and all … Kelly Elliott,I had a ball reading this ,it was absolute bliss.

This book was hilarious and sweet also Harper and Declan are perfect together.  Declan has decided to leave his military career in the Marines behind and go home to Moose Lodge were he grew up and added bonus of the dact that the girl he crushed on is finally out of a relationship with his brother so imagine his suprise when they seem together but Harper looks like she wants to murder his brother.  Harper how did I let my ex talk me into such stupidity why and his really hot older brother is back from the Marines and a cop dang he looks good in a uniform I may just die from my lust fueled thoughts.  Declan knows something is off with his brother and Harper and he's going to figure out because he's tired watching his brother with Harper and he's determined to get the girl this time around.  Loved this small town romance with the crazy over the top mothers and family this is one of those towns were everbody know your business and its hilarious can't wait to read more in this series and find out more about some of the side characters.
I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book and this is my honest review.

I am in love with Moose Village! The first book, This Moment was sooo good and I couldn’t wait for This Feeling! The town is so cute, and the stories keep getting better and better. I loved Harper and Declan, the angst when things are complicated and the chemistry is off the charts makes for a great read. This is a must read series!
