CHANGE OF HART- BAILEY HANNAH 🐴
***slight spoiler below!!***

If you are looking for the perfect cowboy/long lost love, kick your feet and giggle western romance, this is it. Blair come shack to her hometown to care for her mother who’s Alzheimer’s is getting worse, and for the first time in years faces her first, and only love. Bronc rider Denver is shocked when she tends to him after his buck off but knows if she’s home, he’s not missing his chance to win his girl again. Denver is swoon-worthy, the perfect good ole country boy and will do anything to get Blair to understand he’s in it for real this time. My favorite part of the book is the fact that before their relationship ended, Blair had an abortion. While Denver wanted to be a family, Blair knew she wasn’t ready or capable and we LOVE a POSITIVE abortion representation because I had an abortion and it SAVED 👏🏻 MY 👏🏻 LIFE. The epilogue brought so much joy to my heart, like I knew each person in real life and I was so excited that everyone got all they wanted and dreamed for.

Blair and Denny were childhood best friends turned high school sweethearts, and when Blair left town for college, life got in the way. Blair is now back in town to help take care of her mother, who is dealing with Alzheimer's, and when Denny sees her, he literally falls off a bull in the middle of an event. SO handy that Blair is there as the event's nurse practitioner! Blair is reluctant to give Denny more time given the history that is between them, but they clearly have some unfinished love business.

This is a friends-to-lovers, second chance cowboy romance. It has lots of angst and emotion, lots of spice, and lots of familiar faces from previous books in the series. A solid 4.5 stars!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my thoughts.

Bailey Hannah has once again exceeded my expectations! I’ve consistently enjoyed the characters, plot, and relationship pacing in this series. Change of Hart is no exception. I love a second chance romance, but a lot of stories with this trope are not written to my taste. This one was great!

I really enjoyed Denny and Blair as characters. Out of all of the couples in this series, they were the most fun. Denny has made me laugh through the whole series, and I loved getting a book that focused on him. Blair is smart, independent, and loyal. I thought she balanced protecting her heart and allowing herself happiness with Denny well. They were convincing as soulmates.

For me, this story was a lot more emotional than the previous two in the series. Blair and Denny have been through a lot, and the flashback chapters show a lot of tough moments on page. Please pay attention to the content warnings if you plan on picking this one up. It’s gets heavy at parts, but the story is worth it.


This book is a 4.5 for me. I loved diving deeper into this world and I’m so excited for the rest of the series!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This book feels like 90s country, I loved it so much and I cannot wait for any further works from Bailey Hannah. This series is amazing and I will always recommend it!

I need all of her books injected into my veins immediately. I’m obsessed with all things Bailey Hannah and this book was no different.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Read Second-Chance Cowboy Romance
Bailey Hannah has crafted a story that’s impossible to resist—one that had me laughing, crying, swooning, and gasping all in the span of a few chapters. Change of Hart takes the second-chance romance trope and elevates it with dual timelines that effortlessly weave together the innocent past of childhood love and the emotionally complex present. It’s the kind of storytelling that hits you right in the chest.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for my #gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I love this little world that Bailey Hannah has created with Wells Ranch. These characters are so fun and you can’t help but root for all of them. I really loved Denny and Blair’s story. The pining, the healing, the growth. I don’t want to say too much and give anything away here, but I enjoyed their story. Second chance isn’t always my favorite, but it really worked here for me.

I will say for this one, you might want/need to check for TW/CW before you start this book. This is book 3 in the Wells Ranch series and while you don’t have to read the other two, I highly suggest you do before this one.

AHHHHHH I love them forever, your honor 😩🫶🏼. These two were perfect. The angst, the yearning, the groveling, the tears (we all shed) ugh. This is why i love second chance romance so much.

Bailey did these two so much justice. From the beginnings where we got to see their relationship bloom, to the end when they finally get their HEA.

I loved this! I am not normally one who enjoys secind chance romances but this was so well written! 10/10 love this series and can’t wait to read more from Bailey Hannah!

Blair and Denver! Ok, I am mad with myself for not reading this Book sooner! But because I always have to read the books in order I had to do the first two!! I think now out of the 3 so far I loved this book way more! But to be honest for a few chapters I hated Blair and I thought Den could have done better! But then again few chapters later knowing what the two went through I kinda got their delio if you know what you mean! So ended up loving them both together again! Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read, even though it took me quite a while! 🫣

This was the most beautiful second chance romance! Definitely my favorite I’ve ever read of that trope. Denver and Blair’s story was really beautiful. I loved everything about their back story and how they came together, fell apart, and together again. The way Denver proves he is everything Blair needs - the acts of service, the devotion!!! My absolute favorite of the series. Blair is the definition of “there is only her/it’s always been her” for Denver. Need I say more?

The spicy scenes between these two 🫠🫠🫠. I loved the multiple times lines we saw of them and enjoyed learning about their journey.

** 5 stars **

Change of Hart is an amazing story. I loved the emotions in the story as well as the characters.. It was one of the best second chance romance stories I have read.

The story begins when Blair finds out that her mother has Alzheimer's disease. She makes the decision to move back home to help her dad take care of her. She has been away for many years because of her heartbreak. Denver is now a horse rider and gets injured. Blair is a nurse and helps him get to the hospital. He tries to talk to her but she doesn't want to have anything to do with him. We find out that they had been in love years before. They also had a strong friendship and were everything to each other..

I loved the chemistry between Blair and Denver. It was so good even after so many years apart. You can't help but love these characters. They were chef's kiss.

You will love this story if you enjoy:
* Second chance romance
* Cowboy
* Nurse Practitioner

Thank you to the author for an advanced copy for an honest review.

It pained me to have to wait so long, but it was well worth it, especially because this indie author went trad! I can't wait for the rest of the series -- Denny is going to be hard to beat! Bring on the next one.

Denny and Blair were amazing! Absolute perfection. As usual Bailey Hannah delivered with an absolute banger. Blair is back home figuring out what she can do for her family, Denny is her best friend and high school sweetheart but something tore them apart now, both are back in Wells Canyon and the tension is hard to ignore. I LOVED THIS BOOK!! The way Denny showed Blair he would always be there for her and the way he begged for a second chance. I am always down for a second chance romance and Blair & Denny were chef kiss 😘 thank you Dell romance for the e-arc all thoughts are my own

Blair and Denver were perfect! Their story was sweet, emotional, heartbreaking, and deliciously spicy!

✦What you'll get:
•Second Chance
•Dual Timeline
•Barrel Racer x Saddle Bronc Rider
•Reformed Playboy


These two start out as childhood friends spending all their time at the rodeo until they end up as high schools sweethearts.
Until tragedy strikes and Blair is forced to leave the man she thought she would marry.

14 years later she moves from Vancouver back to Wells Canyon, to take care of her dying mother. Her only goals are to take care of her mom, and avoid Denver Wells at all costs. But that's easier said than done since her best friend (Cass) lives on Wells Ranch, and she's only one of two health care providers in town.

After a rodeo accident puts her in an ambulance with the one Denver.…she’s forced to acknowledge the feelings that have never truly went away.

Getting to watch them find their way back to each other was a truly beautiful, and oftentimes heart-rending experience.

Bailey once again has written a story that will stick with me forever! And I cannot wait to be back in Wells Canyon!

(Be sure to check the trigger warnings before to reading, as this book does cover some heavy topics, which Bailey handles beautifully!)

Okayyyyy you know I love a second chance romance and this did not disappoint especially when the couple comes back together with understanding, open communication and the same flame they always held for each other 👏🏼

I devoured this. It was emotional, sexy, funny and sweet. I also read this as a standalone, but will absolutely be adding the rest to the my TBR because I think this just catapulted me back into a small town, cowboy romance mood!

Thank you Bailey, Dell, and NetGalley for the ARC. I’m so sad to say that Change of Hart just wasn’t for me and I had to DNF unfortunately. I hope to check out more of Baileys books in the future!

I absolutely adored this book! The triple threat: emotional depth, witty banter, and slow-burn tension.. Denny’s cowboy charm combined with his surprising soft side had me swooning, while Blair’s strength and wit grounded the story. The tension between them hits instantly, and the writing strikes the perfect balance between emotional and spicy.

I went in fresh without reading the rest of the series and still devoured it. Bailey Hannah is now firmly on my auto-read list. Can’t wait for more!
