Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review ETERNITY SPRINGS: THE MCBRIDES OF TEXAS by Emily March. I received a free copy in exchange for my honest review.

Five stars and here’s why:

LOVED IT! This is my first book by Ms. March, but apparently there is a whole series about Eternity Springs. You can read this book as a standalone, but I am definitely going to be reading ALL of the books. The author did not disappoint! Holy hotness is that Tucker – loved him from the get-go. I was sad to see this book come to an end – it was just that wonderful. Highly recommend.

Getting to know Gillian whom is all about the wedding and Tucker was a lot fun. As in real life things didn’t work out the way it was planned. A very good thing of course. Gillian irritated me in this book as she seriously had trust issues but Tucker finally got her to listen. A great book.

Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas by Emily March is a delightful and uplifting romantic read focussing on Tucker and Gillian, both individuals that have had trials in their life up until this point. However, their fates are destined and after meeting each other, their lives turn a different path.
It is always nice to read a positive book where there are like able characters that are relatable and have the chance to overcome their troubles in their life to find happiness. The best part os that not only do they find happiness and acceptance with each other, but also with themselves.

5/5 stars

Thank you NetGalley and St Martin’s Press/Paperbacks for this ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon and B&N accounts upon publication.

This book had a really good plot and I like to banter between Tucker and Gillian. I liked how Tucker stuck by his word. I really liked the authors ability to make you like or dislike characters. It was an easy read, not one you had to work at.

I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley. The opinions are my own.

We are back in Redemption,Texas. Tucker has come back home after leaving the army. Now he must decide what to do with his life. Gillian is a mess after her engagement has been called off. All the wonderful characters are back to help them with their wise meddling and great advice. Another great addition to the series.

Eternity Springs & the McBrides = a winning combination. As an avid reader of The Eternity Springs collection, I knew I was in for a treat with this story. Tucker is retiring from military service but isn’t sure what his future holds. As he’s traveling down a deserted road on his motorcycle, he swears he’s seeing a mirage - a beautiful sexy woman in a red dress with no car anywhere in sight. After their encounter, he decides to head to his cousin’s & can’t believe his mystery woman is living in the same town.

Gillian just had a horrible fight with her fiancé & not only walked out on him, she raced away. She was so upset, she got lost & ran out of gas. When a motorcycle rolled to a stop beside her, she didn’t know whether to run or just faint. She was instantly attracted but didn’t trust herself. She was already regretting the argument & walking out. After they parted, she didn’t expect to ever see Tucker again. She couldn’t believe he was in the same town.

I really loved this story! Tucker needed to get over his PTSD & issues from his military service while Gillian had to learn to trust her own judgement again. There were tender, sweet moments, hilarious bits & everything in between. I enjoy the character development within the entire cast. The atmosphere of family, love & support comes through in every encounter. Celeste always appears at the right moment! I really can’t wait for the next story!

I fell in love with Tucker McBride on page one, and he didn’t disappoint!
Gillian Thacker is all about being a bride , even if it’s to the wrong Groom. She even runs a highly successful Bridal salon along with her mom and has plans to make a wedding mall.
Plans that go awry when her fiancé sells her building to Tucker,
Tucker wants Gillian,
Gillians fiancé doesn’t deserve her , can Tucker be the man , she doesn’t realize she needs !
Another great Emily March read !
Thank you to Netgalley , the publisher and the author for my advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest review.

To say that Tucker is some serious swoon-worthy book boyfriend material would be a serious understatement. I enjoyed the heck out of this story and the extended McBride family. Yo definitely don't need to have read any other McBride books to appreciate this one - but I am guessing it would make your feelings about this book that much deeper.

My only drawback to this story was Gillian. I liked Gillian a lot - and had some serious empathy for what she went through. I also understand her girly girlness - I am definitely not an outdoorsy person so I get it! But I really felt strongly that even after what happened with her ex-fiance, that she was truly placing more value on the wedding experience that the relationship that comes with marriage. I'm not sure, even at the end, that she had much growth in that area. The Wedding industry is a multi-billion dollar one - and she isn't alone in her thinking.

Overall - Tucker won me over so hard that I was able to overlook most of Gillian's behavior and just enjoy the ride.

A wonderful sweet read with fade-to-black sexy times!

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley but these opinions are all my own!

Tucker is instantly attracted to Gillian, but soon finds out that the woman is engaged.

Gillian ends up lost and stranded after a fight with her fiancé. Fortunately, a man on a motorcycle stops to help her. It turns out that her close friend is engaged to marry Tucker and that he is headed to her hometown. Gillian is confused, because she realizes that she is attracted to Tucker despite being promised to another man.

However, Gillian and her fiancé are having problems, and her fiancé breaks off their engagement at the last minute. Gillian is devastated and hits rock bottom. Can she get over this disappointment and see what she might have with Tucker?

I enjoyed Tucker and Gillian's story! This book had the love and humor I love in Emily March's books. I love the Eternity Springs series and these McBride men are H-O-T! Gillian was not my favorite but I liked her more at the end!

ETERNITY SPRINGS: THE McBRIDE OF TEXAS is the story of Tucker, my favorite McBride! I loved this book, couldn't put it down and it was great revisiting the town with all the fun characters. I can't wait for the next book in the series! A five 🌟 read all the way, my only complaint is it wasn't longer!

A wonderful tale of love and friendship. Gillian is upset and mad after a big fight with her fiance, and is walking along the road in the middle of nowhere after a car accident. Luckily Tucker comes along on his motorcycle, and rescues her. When months later her on again off again engagement is finally ended, it give Tucker a chance to step in and express his feelings. Overall I did enjoy this one, but must confess her reluctance and walls, while understandable, got a little tiresome, and cost a star for me. Other than that though, I enjoyed this one and had trouble putting it down. Highly recommend this book and author.

Tucker has left a lifetime of service in the armed forces behind and is searching for his next chapter. Gillian is engaged to a jerk she just had a big fight with and after an accident on the road is walking to find help. This is how they meet. The rest is alchemy.
I loved this sweet story and I recommend it to fans of romance.

I didn't read the first book in the series and feel this can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed the story about Gillian and Tucker. It had funny moments that made me laugh. This was just the kind of easy read I was in the mood for. I'll definitely read more books by this author.

This is another great book in the Eternity Springs series. I have loved all the books in this series. Romance, humor, drama:these books have it all. Emily March is one of my favorite authors
