Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

So this had some fun promise...but was a bit all over the place... The MCs kept shifting what they wanted and it made it hard to root for them.

Super cute book! It’s so easy to read and enjoy. The story just flows and moves as time passes in the book. Definitely a weekend type of read.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were real and the flow was easy to read. Will be looking for more from this author

Thanks NetGalley &Sand Dune Books for the ARC of All of My Heart.

This was a cute romance and a quick read both of which will make you smile! Give it a go!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Sand Dunes Books via NetGalley and I also purchased a copy.

This was a delightful story. Suzie Hart owns a B&B overlooking a lake and is getting ready to publish her first cookbook. Her life is starting to lookup now after the debacle of her sister marrying Suzie's fiance! But Suzie has made lemonade from the lemons in her life. She has a guest that has booked a room indefinitely. All of the sudden a loud grumbly noise breaks the silence. No, it can't be, Brad Matthews! The rest of the story to the HEA is one that shouldn't be missed.

Suzie is 5 years older than Brad (that age difference does not qualify her as a cougar). While most stories have an older man/younger woman, it is refreshing to see it in reverse. I thoroughly enjoyed Brad. He wasn't an Alpha type of male but he sure knew what he wanted and had a few tendencies toward alpha but he was too caring of Suzie and her feelings to run roughshod over them.

I adored the dual POV format that the book was written in. Being able to see the characters' thoughts in a situation really helped me to connect and understand them. It also made them more believable.

This was a sweet second chance romance. There was a sexy scene that really was highly glossed over but that being said, I probably should recommend this to anyone over the age of 18. I look forward to reading more of this series.

A cute and heartwarming read. It’s a very easy read (a few hours if that). I read it throughout my day. I’m curious to see where this series will go.

Such a sweet, heartwarming small town romance. I loved this one! Read it in an afternoon. Delightful!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Suzie Hart, whose fiance ran away with her sister Shelley, lives with all the small town gossip associated with her jilting. Unknown to anyone, Suzie had a two month affair with Brad Matthews, while working as his Sous Chef in Asheville, NC, while trying to come to grips with her stagnating relationship with her fiance. Brad had no idea that she was engaged and was floored when Suzie disappeared without explanation.
Brad has now come to Harbor Falls with the intention of opening a hotel and winning Suzie back. Suzie is shocked to see Brad and doesn't know how to process his arrival. She distanced herself from him due to the guilt and the fact that Brad mentioned that he wants a family. Something Suzie knows that she can not give him. She feels this is the reason her fiance ran away with her sister and doesn't want to watch another man walk away from her.
Although a little slow at times, all in all this is a wonderful, heartwarming story that I would recommend to anyone looking for a contemporary romance from an accomplished author.
Thank you Maddie James, Sand Dune Books and NetGalley for allowing me this advance copy in exchange for my honest feedback.

Suzie and Brad have a history, but one that she hasn't told anyone about. Brad has a plan and a mission to win Suzie back, but he may have forgotten to mention a few key details to Suzie. After a rough start in town, Brad has to prove his good intentions, and Suzie needs to decide where her heart really leads her. A cute romance in a great little town.

This book is cute but a bit slow at drawing you in. You don’t get the deep sense of attachment. And I never understood why she loved him but wouldn’t let herself have him? It might interest some but was a bit dry for me.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

While I enjoyed the romance and the fact that Brad kind of followed Suzie because he loved her, I think it was kind of clueless of him to think that she would welcome him when he was making such a huge change to the lodge and it would affect her livelihood!

I did like that they both were able to make compromises and come to a better solution than what they originally wanted. The HEA was great and I really liked Brad and Suzie together!

What a great book from the beginning. This was a new author for me and I was blown away from the characters to their chemistry and the writing was so good.

Not really for me , I just couldn’t connect with the characters or the story, it felt a bit dated and just couldn’t keep me interested, sorry.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This story felt quite dated and the small town that they lived in seemed to be very old but think it was set in present day? I just couldn't get on with the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this story in exchange for a honest review.

All of My Heart is listed as the first book in Maddie James` Harbor Falls series, but I was really not sure whether that was the case, as there were no obvious secondary characters that I would imagine getting a story of their own j the future. So, while this was a quick read that lack any need for intense focus, I found it difficult to connect to the primary characters, as Susie was a whinger and Brad was unremarkable. The story also left me with more questions than answers, as many events went unexplained. This is not a bad story, it’s just pretty average.

Susie Hart inherits a cottage . She plans to run the inn,try new recipes and take on occasional catering job. She meets Brad Matthews and falls for him. I couldn't get hooked.

Found myself disappointed in this book, the written style felt very outdated and the characters were hard to feel for. Don’t think I’d read anything again from this author

A great short read, this is the story of Suzie and Brad.

When you start the book it is clear they know each other already, but how? I liked how it is told from both of their points of view so you get to know the characters.

Looking forward to the res of the series!
