His Small-Town Girl is a delightfully intriguing novel that turns despair into a HEA destiny! Both the hero and heroine are running from painful pasts. Both are in danger; one physically, the other emotionally. As the hero reluctantly harbors the heroine, together they work to save his ramshackle family farm. She’s small and feisty, handy with mechanics, too. She helps free him from the haunting verbal abuse of his childhood. He’s tough and determined to prove his worth, despite the hateful refrains that plague him. His abilities to help save the heroine from danger pull the draining images and taunts from his past behind, freeing him to be the strong. capable, loving man deserving of the heroine’s trust and love. A must read! |
This book is exactly what I expected it to be. A sweet read with characters who had difficult pasts that overcome it together. Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. |
HIS SMALL TOWN GIRL is a wonderful story of healing and love. Molly is running from a dangerous ex and Noah has reluctantly returned to his hometown after leaving following a horrible accident. These two have a lot of emotional baggage to sort through and their love story is a sweet tale of second chances. This book was heavy on story and pretty light on romance. I wish the author had given us a more drawn out happy ending after such a heavy story. It felt like 95% of this book was trauma and sadness. It could have used some more moments of levity to balance out the story. It could have been a 5 star book if that balance had been struck. |

His Small-Town Girl was a page turner. This sweet, clean romance is book one in the Sutter’s Hollow series. When Molly and Cord cross paths, they are both very broken and damaged people. I flew through this book, because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I really liked the characters, and look forward to the next book in the series. I also enjoyed the fact that the conflict was realistic. From the moment Molly shows up on the ranch he’s just inherited, Cord has a soft spot for her. Molly is determined to find out what Cord’s past holds, and he is determined to protect her from whatever it is that is haunting her. When she reveals she’s being stalked, Cord provides safety and security. They must both face their pasts if they want a future. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. |
Cord and Molly are trying to escape, but in Sutters Hollow, they learn the hard way that no matter how far you run, you cannot outrun the past. Secrets from their past relationships are revealed and they soon realize that they cannot hide from the monsters under the bed. Can they overcome their obstacles together? Can they overcome the hurt, abuse, pain and rejection and learn that it's okay to ask for help? While I enjoyed their story there were some areas that felt a bit incomplete to me as I wanted clarity on Mackie and her hatred right down until death, the mysterious signature for the loan that was never resolved, do not get me started on her father who I want to just bash in the head, the accident story of from when Cord and they were kids felt a bit flimsy to me and can somebody please tell me where Cord got money from to buy a ring when he could not afford a water heater? |
#HisSmallTownGirl #NetGalley This has be one of my favorite Lacy Williams book!! Her novels are always good, but this one was great! I really liked the characters and felt an instant connection with Molly. I really like that even though Cord grew in this book. He made some really big steps in opening up and beginning to live again. I liked that he and Molly really complimented each other. Thank you to NetGalley and Lacy Williams Books LLC. for an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. The opinions expressed are my own. |

This was a good read. The characters were well developed. The story had intrigue, friendship, love.... |
AHH this book was great! I so enjoyed getting to know Cord (man, that name grew on me quickly) and Molly in this first book in the Sutter's Hollow series. Williams did a great job at creating a sense of mystery and intrigue (what was the deal with Cord's grandma? What's got Molly spooked? How's it going to all pan out?). Details came out layer by layer, just how I like it (no matter how many times I say I just want to know everything right now). :) And ooh boy, The Moment. (Is that kind of like "the look" people reference? :D) That was epic. Every girl needs a Cord (and a Moment) in her life. I legit can't wait for books 2 and 3 to come out. In the meantime, I have some more Lacy Williams books to read! I received a copy of the book from the author via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. |
A sweet and wholesome romance that touched my heart. Molly and Cord were the best example of what true love is. |

A guy. A girl. A hound dog. A small country town. Will they choose each other, or will they let past trauma determine their fate? I absolutely loved that this book. It constantly kept me on my toes throwing in new surprises when I least expected it. I can't wait to read the second one in the series! |
