I loved Evan and Kenzie's book! I already thought he was awesome from previous books, and she is just as great! I really loved the side characters and family members too!

I really could not get into this book at all. Maybe it was the cadence it was written in. I don’t really know. I have it 5 chapters and just couldn’t do it.

Handle with Care was Evan’s turn to find romance in the Movin On series. Evan has been a silent partner in the moving business operated by his two cousins. His role was limited due to a very demanding job with a well-known accounting firm. He has also spent time recovering from the death of his fiancé. When Evan decides it is time to get a life, he leaves the accounting firm to start his own business and play a larger role in the family business.

Kinsey has raised her younger brother since he was two-years-old, acting more as a mother than a sister. She was devastated after a long-term relationship and engagement ended and hasn’t been in a relationship since. Kinsey meets Evan when he helps one of Kinsey’s best friends move in with her boyfriend. They have an instant attraction, but Kinsey is afraid to get involved.

Kinsey eventually agrees to date Evan, but only if they keep their romantic relationship a secret from their friends and family. As their friends and family begin to interact and become friends, it becomes obvious to everyone that Evan and Kinsey have feelings for each other. Can two people who are both reeling from failed relationships find love?

In my opinion, this is the best book in the series to date. I look forward to the next book. Will it be Smith’s chance to find love?

Handle with Care (Veteran Movers #3) is an fun, steamy and thoroughly enjoyable read. Unfortunately I didn't realize that it was part of a series by author Marie Harte and found it a bit confusing at times keeping track of all the characters. I'll definitely be adding The Whole Package (#1) and Smooth Movers (#2) to my TBR list.

I just couldn’t get into this one. I have read the author in the past and enjoyed her, however this is part of a series and from the beginning I was confused. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

Sexy fun romance

Marie Harte’s Movin’ On series continues with book 4 Handle With Care. I love the whole crew of Vets on the Go the moving company Evan owns with his cousins. It’s during a move that Evan meets Kenzie and the chemistry between them is explosive. I really like that both of them healed as they spent time together. Kenzie’s brother Daniel was a wonderful part of the story as was Kenzie’s friends. There were some ups and down getting as the relationship grows. I read this in one sitting, I could not put the book down till I Kenzie and Ethan got their HEA. This book can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend the previous 2 books in the series and can hardly wait for book 4 which I hope will be Smith’s story.

Fun and romantic story that I liked but didn't love. It seemed like the only tension was the heroine having trust issues that she acknowledges but then still lets them rule her. She was sympathetic yet still annoying.

Handle With Care is part of a series, and although I read it as a stand alone, I recommend reading the series in order. The story will have more depth of characterization and flow more logically. Still, it's not a bad or great read but kind of middle of the road. I mean, cute couple, witty banter, loveable sidekicks, a few bumps in the road, and viola! I read it fast, and it's light. This one is a good read when you want something delightful that requires little thought. It's an escape for a bit. Overall, average read. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I love Marie Harte books and this one did not disapoint. Evan is a much more laid back character than the heroes of the previous books, but he totally held his own. The relationship between Evan and Kenzie is great, but what made the book for me was Kenzie's brother and friends. I found myself laughing out loud at times. A great installment of the series.

When I requested this novel I was into the ideal of reading this novel but shorty after I have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for taking the time to provide me an ARC of this novel.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Handle with Care by Marie Harte from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I had read the previous novels in the Veteran Movers series by Marie Harte so I did have high expectations for a solid read and, happily, was not let down by Handle with Care!

Overall, I enjoyed this novel and I found it to be well written and the plot was fast paced. The primary characters' romantic start was less than ideal - our female lead character, Kenzie, meets Evan after her younger brother swipes Evan's phone (sort of a bid for attention and just to do it because he's an annoying teenager). From there, it was fireworks. Evan and Kenzie's banter throughout the novel constantly made me chuckle though and their chemistry was hot.

Can't wait for Smith's novel next!

Evan is lovely - he's sweet, handsome, considerate, and patient with Kenzie, all very fine qualities. The problem is that I was far more intrigued by his secret-no-secret grumpy, rude, taciturn, angry cousin Smith. I was a goner as soon as I read about Smith's tea party with the little girl. Forget perfect Evan, I want the totally imperfect Smith's story now.

Everyone knows that Evan is perfect. Kenzie's friends like him, her little brother Daniel adores him, even his mother's only criticism is that he can be a bit "clingy". But for stressed out, insecure Kenzie, a perfect guy like Evan isn't always the answer when she's trying to raise her little brother and run a business by herself. The problem isn't so much Evan but Kenzie trying to handle her many, many insecurities and doubts about herself and Evan. Lucky for her, Evan is perfect for her other than his weird hatred of tacos. So now can I please have Smith's story?

4 stars for grumpy Smith, 3 stars for perfect Evan, 3 stars for snarky little bro Daniel, 2 stars for whiny Kenzie = 3 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for generously providing an ARC for review!

Wasn’t able to follow the story as well as I could have since it was the 3 book in the series. The main characters just didn’t seem right for each other and the chemistry was off.

This story was definitely not my favorite. Kenzie was confusing and fickle. As a character, I could understand her insecurities, but she seemed quite selfish. Evan was a much more lovable character and wanted to root for him the entire time.

Overall, the story was enjoyable.

This is the third book in the series and yes you do need to read the others to know what is going on because even the book is about Evan and Kenzie we have the second story that continues with Smith, nope if you are not reading I am not telling.. Book was funny and I was happy that Evan got his story he deserved it, I wasn't crazy about Kenzie, I didn't like her I can't even explain it. Yes I was happy that they worked everything out and he got his HEA, and I loved reading the secondary character, but you know one of the things that I enjoyed the most, its that at first I didn't care for Smith, I mean I got his resentment but still he kind of bugged me, but after reading this book I liked him more and I liked that he was accepted more and was able to have some relationship with his fam, but I want more from him..Here me Marie, more Smith please..

Thanks for letting me review this book, but it wasn't for me.
I could get into it at all. The back and forth made my head spin.
I gave up early in the book.

This was a wonderful story. It is book 3 in the series but easily stands alone and it actually is my favorite. It is Evan's story and it introduces a new character Kenzie.

Evan is an accountant and the cousin who also owns part of the moving company and is helping out because Cash is out of commission. During a move he has a run in and meets Kenzie and her brother. He falls right away for her but he also thinks her life is a little too crazy for him.

Her brother plays some fun tricks on Evan and so Evan and Kenzie keep runing into each other. Both are pretty sweet and romantic with each other and I loved watching them fall for each other. This is a fun, sweet, hot and romantic story and is my new favorite in this series. It also easily stands alone.

The latest in the vet on the move series.

Evan meets Kenzie when he is helping one of her friends move house. He knows he wants to see her again even with all her baggage. Will she give him a chance?

A great read.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

With a sassy yet vulnerable heroine, a strong and understanding hero, and a plethora of amazingly hilarious side characters—this novel is sure to be a hit with readers. Additionally, the family dynamics and overall shenanigans in this novel will make it a keeper. ✅

Evan enjoys working for his family's moving company. It's hard work but fulfilling and less of a headache than his last job as an accountant. He learned discipline in the Marines but nothing prepared him for Kenzie. Instantly attracted to her, Evan realizes that Kenzie's life is complicated and she's not sure she can trust anyone with her heart again. I really enjoyed this humorous, sexy, sweet romance and highly recommend it. This is the third book in the Veteran Movers series but can be read as a stand alone.
