I enjoyed "Blue Ridge Breakdown" by Rachel Hanna. It was a cozy and hopeful book in spite of some stressful moments such as trucks breaking down and lost dogs. I find these types of books as good comfort and distraction reads in today's times. Because I have not read the first three books in the series, some of the side characters were a bit confusing for me. Still the author had strong character development with the main characters and told an engaging story in a short time. I enjoyed the narrator as well. Good for fans of Robyn Carr novels. Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for the eARC.

Ava Monroe is running away from her life. when her old truck breaks down in a blizzard in the mountains, her dog escapes and Ava fears she is close to death from the cold. Suddenly she is rescued by Jack, a man who looks like a lumberjack. He takes her home where she warms up and is nourished. Jack and Ava spend the next few days looking for her dog, Millie. Ava has a secret in her past which of course catches up with her. There are a few other side stories where eventually all the characters intersect. This is a feel good story about recovering from your mistakes and waiting for the right person. I love Rachel Hannah books and recommend this one.

This was such a good cutesy pootsy read! I totally enjoyed the story, I would like to get the book version when it’s available as I didn’t love the narrator. The book was 4 stars! But the narrator wasn’t great for me. Thank you for allowing me this!

Of all the settings for Rachel Hanna books, this one has become such a favorite to me. I love the introduction of new characters while still visiting the others. The way it is written always makes me want to sit down at the table with the characters and catch up on their lives. This one brings together a woman on the run from her past and a man who loves his life in the mountains but has his own past to shy away from. How these two transform is a great read. If you like lovable characters in a warm hometown, this one will be a great read for you. Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC.

Short, sweet, light, small town surprise romance. Ava was a contestant on a “Bachelor” type show and got picked out of the many women by the uber wealthy “Bachelor”. While in her wedding dress and about to walk down the aisle she has a “what have I done?” and climbs out the bathroom window and drives away with her beloved dog in her old truck. A snowstorm, very old truck, small winding road, a runaway dog all lead to a sweet happily ever after in her new found town where she is embraced and loved. A delightful easy listen with wonderful narration. Hoping that there is more to come from this sweet series, but in my opinion this can be read as a stand alone without missing a beat.
