I love the characters in this book. There is humor, angst, despair and happiness. I experienced so many different emotions while reading this book. The writing is wonderful and I just wanted to hop in my car and go visit Eternity Springs. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

This book is a lovely way to end the series. It dealt with sensitive issues, whilst tackling some heart-breaking ones. The main characters were well suited to each other, and got to know one another without too much pressure romantically. It was also nice to see some characters from the previous books in the series.
3.5 stars

This is an emotion filled story and both main characters have some serious things to overcome. Boone has worked through MOST of his trauma and Hannah is more at the beginning of her healing. With Boone having gone through so much already, it tended to give him a tenderness and compassion for other people. His legal skills are now being used in other avenues.
There is a fairly large cast of people and at one point I had to go back and forth to re-read who was connected to who. I don't enjoy that so much.
I commend the author for how detailed the town, businesses and surrounding area is. But it also began to feel a lot like the details were overtaking the story a bit. Like, I was going on a guided tour of my own. For me, I began to not like that as much.
The story does have a good H.E.A. though.

The power of healing when your heart finds love. For Boone and Hannah Eternity Springs brought more that’s tranquility it brought them together. This book will bring tears, make you laugh and then fill you heart with joy.
A romance that tugged at my heart strings, this series was an experience in a full blown emotion overload. An amazing read that is a must to have on livery shelf and every ebook. I fell in love with the McBride family.

This is a awesome book.
It has everything drama,angst,emotions,insight and a sweet romance.
Also great characters that help make the story.
It made me think,cry,laugh.

Great read.
Voluntarily reviewed.

Boone has a dark back story that we finally get to know. Hannah has an even darker background.
They meet at Lovers Leap. She is on her way into Eternity Springs and he is on the verge of a major life decision. Their story is warm, rich and intricate. It unfolds slowly as it should. The assistance of Celeste is less subtle in this one.
I loved it. The big loving family vibe is woven throughout.

“Boone” by Emily March is the third book in her Eternity Springs: McBrides of Texas series. An accomplished lawyer, Boone McBride moved to Eternity Springs, Colorado to avoid a tragic secret unknown to his family and friends. Hannah Dupree happens upon Eternity Springs and decides it is the place to end the tragedy in her heart. Destiny brings Boone and Hannah together as she considers the unthinkable. As Boone struggles with his own ghosts of the past, will he be able to heal the hurt in Hannah’s heart? This is a story of bringing light into the life of another and in the process, "accepting love’s healing grace" that is abundant in the town of Eternity Springs. Another heartwarming love story by Emily March that I highly recommend.

I enjoyed Jackson and had slightly mixed feelings about Tucker, but Boone, the third book in the MacBrides of Texas trilogy, gave me a much-needed break from political and pandemic-related anxieties. That’s due in part to its setting: most of the novel is set in Eternity Springs rather than Enchanted Canyon and Redemption, Texas. I am personally more drawn to Colorado’s mountains than I am to Texas, and I have a soft spot for the fictional Eternity Springs. But mostly, the pleasure I had in reading it is due to the two main characters, Boone MacBride and Hannah Dupree, and their journeys toward healing, both individually and together.

Boone is a standup guy: caring, insightful, intelligent, and kind, with a good sense of humor and movie-star good looks. But he’s also carrying a lot of pain from events in his past—pain he is almost ready to move past. Hannah has many of the same qualities, but she is still much more locked in her grief, to the point where it has almost overwhelmed her. Boone decides to “be a light” for Hannah the way his friends and family have been for him, and their relationship builds slowly from there.

There’s not much conflict between Boone and Hannah, which I find refreshing. Not every relationship has to be filled with drama and angst! Both of them have more than enough drama and angst in their pasts, anyway; anything more would be overkill. March does a lovely job of conveying the process of moving through the later stages of grief into a place where her characters are finally ready to embrace light and life and love again. And watching Boone fall head over heels for a tiny baby was the icing on the cake. (No, I’m not going to tell you who, or how, or why. You’ll just have to read the book.)

My only real complaint is the lack of diversity in the book. This won’t come as a surprise to anyone who has read March’s books before. As much as I have enjoyed the Eternity Springs books over the years, and as good as March is at telling a compelling romantic story, the entire series is dismayingly homogenous when it comes to its characters. Practically every character in Boone is white, heterosexual, and ablebodied. I don’t think there was a single person of color or LGBTQIA character, even in a minor role. It’s just not realistic, and I hope to see more diversity in March’s books in the future.

Other than that disappointment, however, the characters and storyline of Boone were a welcome antidote to my pre-election anxiety and pandemic blues. You don’t have to have read the Eternity Springs series to enjoy the MacBrides of Texas trilogy, but it doesn’t hurt, since recurring character Celeste plays a small but significant role in all three MacBrides books, and several other Eternity Springs regulars make at least cameo appearances here and there.

THIS REVIEW WAS PUBLISHED on The Bookwyrm's Hoard blog and Goodreads, and publicized on Facebook and Twitter. An abridged review has been posted on Tumbler and will be posted on Amazon after the book is published.

This was such a moving story. Both main characters, Boone and Hannah have suffered unbelievable heartbreak in their pasts. But the friendly aura of Eternity Springs will ehlp their hearts to heal and find each other. And Boone is just lovely as a romantic hero. No one could be that wonderful. But I enjoyed the story from start to finish.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

Emily March's Boone was a good and enjoyable contemporary romance. Boone is trying to earn his wings when he stumbles across Hannah Dupree. Hannah is having a hard time coming to terms with the loss of her family. At first Boone's interest is only humanitarian and winning his wings. However, as the story progresses Boone is drawn to Hannah and would like their relationship to be more. Wonderful characters, genuine human emotions and would recommend.

This has to be my favourite book in this series. Eternity Springs is the place to go to mend a broken heart. The description of this idealistic gem is vivid and easy to picture. It's a breathtaking place and add to it the way of life, it makes the perfect setting. It's a poignant story with enough humour, goodwill and romance to balance the heartbreaks.

Boone has been through his share of loss and pain. He is now faced with a tough decision and hopefully the good vibes in Eternity Springs will help with that.

Hannah has been running away from her life. The pain and losses she has been through have turned her life into black and grey shades.

Hannah is so desperate and heartbroken that she is on the verge of doing the unthinkable. Boone goes to investigate and instantly recognises pain and despair. He approaches her and strikes a conversation. At first Hannah isn't sure what to make of him, but his behaviour and credentials change her mind. His kindness brings light to her darkness. They become fast friends and start confiding in each other. He needs healing too. Can he convince her to stay in Eternity Springs to heal herself? Can she bring him the light that he requires?

Boone and Hannah are great characters. Their strengths and support see them through some difficult times. When faced with the unexpected from the past, they are a united front. There are some twists which blend in flawlessly. The story is very well portrayed and seemleesly flows. A beautiful love story with a beautiful outcome. Welcome to Eternity Springs.

I received a complimentary eARC from Netgalley and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Boone Mcbride learns that a baby dropped off with a note that the girl should be given to Boone. When Boone was driving home that night he meets a woman named Hannah who ge thought was going to jump. He invited Hannah to his home. I enjoyed the chemistry that developed between Boone and Hannah. I cant wait to read Emily March's next book.

Boone is a fantastic read! It’s deep with complex issues of love, loss, and learning to live after tragedies. The exploration of finding the light after times of darkness is a great guide of hope, knowing that “This, too, shall pass” as the hero and heroine realize they are not alone in the struggles, the depressions, the guilty emotions—others will share the burdens and their gifts of light will open doors of possibilities that the joy of living can return stronger and more appreciated with self-permission to love and be loved.

Two people who’ve experienced unthinkable loss meet by chance. Boone and Hannah are at different points in their grief when they meet. They recognize a unique connection that turns quickly to attraction. I’m not a fan of ‘insta-love’ but as the novel progressed I got on board and enjoyed how their story developed. This is a story of loss, forgiveness and finding the courage to live and love. It was fun to see what was new in the lives of Boone’s cousins and friends and visit the town of Eternity Springs. Fans of Emily March’s McBrides of Texas trilogy will want to read this wrap to the series but for new readers, it can stand alone.

oh my, this may be my favorite book in the series. Hannah meets Boone when he thinks she may be considering suicide, and what transpires from there is a glorious book. Emily March sure tugs at our heartstrings. I won't post any spoilers, but suffice it to say it brought me to tears more than once. Thanks to #Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for review.

This is the final book in the McBride Series. Great story! Romances are really going out in my library. I haven't really read much of this genre, but I think this book has made me change my mind. March hit a home run!

I have never read anything by Emily March but I'm a fan after this fantastic book. I loved every page of Boone. This book had me swooning! I love Boone and Hannah. This story was everything you want from a romance. It was charming, heartwarming and full of drama. I loved that the drama wasn't extreme or silly. It was a beautiful story that I loved seeing play out. Hannah is just about the most charming character I've ever read. I love her. This book is like a hug wrapped in a fuzzy blanket on a cold day. I loved it!

I loved this book! Boone and Hannah helped each other so much get beyond all the hurt in their past. I couldn't put this one down. I will be reading more books in this series!

Hannah is reeling on the 3rd anniversary of the death of her husband and two daughters. She has likely hit rock bottom and thinks that falling off a cliff might be preferable to the pain. Boone sees a woman standing on the precipice of a cliff and decides to stop to talk with her. He puts himself between the woman and the edge of the cliff, calming carrying on a conversation with her. Inviting her to join him for a meal, he has no idea that their meeting has changed both of their lives.

Like Hannah, Boone is recovering from the loss of a spouse. While Boone hasn’t suffered the death of a child, he has suffered the loss of children to adoptions gone bad. While Boone has largely healed, Hannah is still in a precarious position emotionally. Can Boone be a guiding light for Hannah as Celeste has suggested that he might be? Can they have their own happily ever after?

♥️Eternity Springs is a magical place♥️
This was a very emotional story.
Overcoming tragedies and finding forgiveness.
The blossoming romance between Hannah and Boone was endearing and heartfelt. The faith aspect was beautiful.
I have not read the previous two books in the trilogy but would like to get them one day soon. I feel you can read them as a stand alone.
Emily March always delivers a beautiful story of loss, love, friendship, hope and ultimately, forgiveness.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
