I loved going back to Wells Canyon. Denver and Blair are friends to lovers who breakup but then get a second chance after years. I especially loved the flashbacks that showed them falling in love. This was a great read.
Thank you Netgalley for the arc of this book, I really appreciate it.

I love a second chance romance and I love Wells Canyon. This one was so good and tickled all the right spots. I would ride for Denny.

It was so good to be back in Wells Canyon.
I loved Denver sooo much! And his love for Blair was unmatched.
I have mixed feelings about Blair. Loved her in the beginning, and liked her in the end. The middle... my heart broke for Denver.

Super Excited for what's to come for the rest of the series!

This wasn’t my gold standard second chance romance, but I still had a lot of fun. This book really gave more of an insight into the supporting characters and the history of the Wells family. Love a series so much.

This book was full of cute moments and cowboys. I’m not hard to please. Epilogue was precious. Happy for every fictional person in this

ARC from NetGalley

To be completely honest, I did not anticipate to love this book. I'm not a huge fan of second chance romances, but my god was I wrong about this book. This is easily the best book I have read this year. Blair and Denver are the perfect description of right person, wrong time. The way they support each other as kids and then as adults is what everyone hopes for. It is truly a beautiful and heartbreaking story all in one. I cried, I swooned, I laughed. Truly a masterpiece.

I cried multiple times during this book. The characters and the story felt real and genuine. That made a huge impact on me while I was reading.
Blair is one of my favorite FMCs now. I enjoyed seeing the growth Denver and Blair both had with the flashbacks throughout the story.

✨arc review!!✨

The book that gave me a second chance at second chance romance🤍✨

I didn’t think Bailey Hannah could top Red Thompson and a god tier accidental pregnancy trope- but now she has me falling in love with Denver and Blair, AND two tropes I’d essentially sworn off as mid.

I kid you not- this is the first dual timeline book I’ve finished - and enjoyed - that I can remember! Out of the last 5 books I’ve dnf’ed, 4 were dual timeline. But the way Den & Bear’s story is interwoven as they reconcile their history and heartache with the steadfast care they still have for each other had my heart physically aching for these high school loves.

And the spice🥵🔥🌶️ Denver is THAT dirty talking, down bad cowboy. Throw in the backwards hat and I’m out here barking for this man WOOF.

Change of Hart releases May 27th!! Thank you Bailey Hannah, NetGalley & Random House for this arc!

Wow. Just… wow. I was lucky enough to receive Change of Heart as an ARC, and let me tell you — Bailey did it with this one. I read Alive and Wells in one sitting and it became one of my top reads of the year (and honestly, maybe ever). Then came Seeing Red, which was absolutely incredible — but Change of Heart? I’m truly at a loss for words.

The way Bailey wrote Denny and Blair’s story made me feel like I was living it right alongside them. I wasn’t just reading about their love and heartbreak — I felt it. It was like I was sitting there, watching Blair in her darkest moments, feeling her pain and heartache as if it were my own. And when Denny went through his own struggles? My heart broke all over again. This book made me cry cry cry — like ugly tears, clutching my chest, full-on emotional wreck — but I loved every second of it. Even with the moments of sadness, this book had me giggling like a school girl. These two are so beautiful together and found love at such a young age, it was truly special to read. I don't think two people can be made for each other more perfectly than these two, even if they don't always think so.

You know when a book hits you so hard that you just have to sit there and think about it for a while after you finish? That was Change of Heart for me. I was devastated that it was over, but also so completely in love with Denver Wells. I didn’t think it would be possible to love another Wells more than Austin… but then came Denver. And poof — he became my number one. He’s funny, caring, and so incredibly patient and supportive — willing to carry Blair in her times of need, even when she wasn’t ready to let him.

Bailey Hannah completely outdid herself with this one. My heart is shattered, but also so incredibly full. Change of Heart is a must-read — emotional, heartfelt, and utterly unforgettable. Denver and Blair’s story will stay with me for a long, long time.

Ah, Denver and Blair! These two are such a sweet pair. I absolutely adored this book, the third in the Wells series. Bailey Hannah never disappoints.

I loved this book so much until around 80%. And I genuinely felt like Denny felt. Like the decision came from out of left field and wasn’t genuine to the character. And I say this because through every flashback, every conversation about the future, it was BOTH of their dreams to have the ranch, have the home, have the horses, have the babies. Until you get to where Blair makes her decision. And I felt like I was given whiplash from the Blair that was given to us in flashbacks and present day to the Blair from that scene. And I honestly would have wanted more insight into her depression from making that decision. The writing was incredible, as always with Bailey. And I thought Denny was beyond precious and so full of love and even in the capacity that he loved was just intense and beautiful. The flashbacks from mama Wells wrecked my soul.

The Wells Ranch series has been really fun to discover and I was super excited to get a copy of Change of Hart after waiting what seemed like forever! Bailey stays true to her writing style and the aesthetic of the Wells Canyon world in the third installment of this series.

I liked the tropes (second chance, childhood sweethearts) and the setup for Denver and Blair and the dual timeline was done well. I like that Bailey consistently tackles tougher topics, giving her books a bit more depth than the average cowboy romance.

I felt like the story was not as fully developed as it could have been, specifically in the present timeline and how quickly Denver and Blair fell back into a relationship without sorting through any of their past. I would have liked to see a little more rebuilding of their relationship.

Overall, though, this was enjoyable and feels like a good fit with the rest of the series. I really like the world Bailey has created in Wells Ranch and will be eager to read more.

Change of Hart by Bailey Hannah

Blair and Denver were high school sweethearts and haven’t seen each other since their breakup almost 14 years ago. When her mother is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, Blair moves back to Wells Canyon to help care for her. Denver wants a second chance for their relationship and sets out to capture Blair's heart again, but she's reluctant to trust him. Seems he has quite the playboy reputation, now.

This second chance, cowboy romance is the third book in the Wells Ranch series. There are two timelines, past and present, both told from Blair and Denver’s first person points of view. Hannah does a great job keeping us wondering what caused the breakup years ago, until truth is finally revealed.

I loved that Blair is tall, just under six feet. This is refreshing given how many petite female main characters there are in romance novels. As always, Hannah does a great job describing the sights and sounds and smells of Wells Canyon, making the small town setting come alive for me.

I didn’t want to like Denver, but he’s darned irresistible trying to win Blair back.

Highly recommended for those who like cowboy or small town romance.

This was so good. Bailey Hannah’s writing style really makes you feel like you’re sitting there with the characters and truly part of the book. I went through every emotion while reading Change of Hart and will be loudly recommending it to everyone I know.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I knew going into this that Denver was gonna be everything, but I wasn’t expecting to be swept off my feet by Blair 😍🥵

I love that her character is very relatable. Her struggles with anxiety & trust, while wanting to be everything for everyone else. I appreciate that she knew her worth (past & present) & still always managed to make the decisions best for her even when things were hard. But Denver’s unapologetic character growth had me swooning 🫠

But the MOUTHS in this book 👀 I am obsessed with dirty talking cowboys but Blair put them to shame 😏

I love a down bad obsessed cowboy & as usual Bailey delivered 😍

I loved this!

Denver and Blair’s story is such a journey. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll think you’re finally done crying and you’ll be crying again but I love every minute of it.

Denver and Blair are high school sweethearts who separated 14 years but now Blair is back in town as the new nurse practitioner. The story is told in dual timelines which I felt only elevated the story, you get to see them fall in love as kids and heal and love each other again as adults and it’s just everything.

I can’t recommend this enough. You should definitely read it!

Thank you Random House Publishing Group for this ARC!

Did this book WRECK my emotions? Yes but I knew as soon as it was dual timeline and prepared my tissues. Me and my emotional support kindle welcomed the tears with open arms 🤣

This is one of my favorite small town cowboy romance series. These characters feel so real, Bailey has a way with writing their experiences & so much emotional depth that you can’t help but attach yourself to these characters and love them! & don’t get me started on the found family, it is done so well!!

I’ve loved Denny’s care free personality since the beginning and I never expected for his back story to really grasp at me the way it did. The moment Blair was back in the picture he threw that playboy act out the window and only had eyes for her! He was such a sweetheart and so flirtatious with her, how was Blair not supposed to crack in his presence!

& my girl Blair, wow I resonated so much with her and her feelings during certain circumstances. She was a tough shell to crack and none other than Denny would have been able to tear down those walls. Their connection, chemistry & backstory was so easy to read & love! Rooting for both of them every step of the way!

I love this world & characters even more now! The way Bailey writes about love & their real life experiences is something so special and I’m so thankful to have stumbled upon her books last year !

Absolutely loved it! I'm a sucker for second chance romance and I ate this book up! Just when I think the series cannot get any better it. Denver was so cute and sweet with Blair. I cannot wait for the next one in the series!

I think this one is my new favorite in the Wells Ranch series. Denver LOVES Blair with his whole heart and it was so sweet to watch them grow from childhood friends to grown adults 💙 This book had me giggling, laughing out loud and SOBBING at times. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

I love me a good cowboy romance, especially one that is also a family series! This book checked all the boxes, spicy and sweet, second changes, found family, dual POV, and flashbacks. I hope we get more in this series! I feel like we need Jackson and Kate's story!

What does she put into these books because I am addicted.

I have loved every book more and more. Now Denny's Story took the cake errrr ice cream?

I really loved the way she wrote this book. See where Denny and Bliar started to present day was really nice. I loved getting flash backs by age and seeing how their relationship progressed.

Seeing both perspectives on the same timeline was amazing, you also got to see how both were feeling within the same moments.

This story had so many parts where I was crying it was heart breaking to see the hurt everyone went through there was so much raw emotion.

I also really liked the fact that any s3x moments when they were minors was fade to black, anything spicy (and it gets so spicy) was once they were adults.

The mouth on both Denny and Blair made me wonder if I wanted Denny, Blair, or to be the 3rd.
