Did the trick. Had a lot of good moments and some funny ones. Always love large family romance series. Can’t wait to keep going with the Thomas girls!

Laura does it again with this beautiful small town/second chance romance. I absolutely ate this up!! The pining and tension between the two mc’s was unmatched.

Everly & Hawk really are soulmates and I adore reading about their journey back to one another. I blushed like an idiot throughout this entire story.

One thing I always LOVE ab small town romances is the quirky characters and Honey Mountain is no exception!! Everly’s sisters are all so unique and lovable!! I cannot wait to continue this series with Ashlan & Jace’s single dad/age gap romance

cute story, but certain phrases/thoughts were sooo repetitive. if they referred to hawk as the goat one more time i was going to lose my mind. yuck. also, “ever” is an adverb not a name.

Was fine until she had one therapy session and then was immediately fixed (at 58%). Publicly apologizing to her family and crying about her mom AND proclaiming her (new) love for Hawk? They definitely weren’t there yet. Also the proposal at the Stanley cup is such an ick- it’s so unrealistic and I feel like only non sports authors do that

It could’ve been a lot shorter, a little bit of misunderstanding trope which I despise and a very obvious, cliche ending.
It was okay for what it was.

Book 2 in the series centres on Vivian's older sister, Everly and her first love, Hawk.

Ever Mine is small time romance AND a sports romance, with Hawk being an ice hockey player. Chuck in forced proximity and second chance love and I'm was a goner

Okay not my favorite trope, but this time the story had a reason

Hockey star Hawk Madden and sports psychologist Everly get a second chance at a forever love in this story.

Everly Thomas is a case study in the professional taking care of everyone's feelings but her own. After the loss of their mother several years before, Everly broke up with her long time boyfriend, Hawk - since he was about to go play professional hockey and she was heading to New York for college. There was another underlying reason too, but I can't mention that as it's a spoiler.

Everly is a champ at running away when things are too hard for her to deal with emotionally. Hawk's contract is up for renewal, and he comes back to Honey Mountain to work out in the off season. Everly is hired to figure out why Hawk isn't loving the game like he used to. What they discover is that they never lost their spark - but Everly is resistant, as she still hasn't processed the grief over losing her mother so many years ago, not to mention the loss of her first love (regardless of the fact that she pushed him away with no explanation).

Once Hawk finds a crack in Everly's facade, she finally talks - first to her sisters, then to her best friend who also specializes in the psychiatric field (I think), and finally to Hawk. Once she allows the grief and the loss to process, she finally admits to Hawk that she's all in.

There are just a couple of bumps in the road, making for a couple of "edge of your seat" moments in the chapters near the end. But the finale to the story is worth the wait.

I'll definitely re-read these books in the future.
