Okay … I think at this point I would devour any book written by Bailey Hannah. I’m already read for At Whit’s End!

This is a second chance romance and I couldn’t read it fast enough, the pining and mutual yearning was too much. Blair and Denver are meant to be and it’s so satisfying to see them get their happily ever after.

Blair is an overly independent and stubborn fmc which I love, and Denver is a mmc that is all about his woman! I will never look at ice cream the same way after this read🥵

Thank you to the publisher for letting me read this ARC through net galley.

I devoured the anticipated 3rd book in this series! I loved seeing this side of Denny. I teared up several times! The dual timelines were done so well. I really felt like I saw the moment that Blair and Denny fell in love as young teens and it was so special.

All you have to say is second chance romance and you have gotten my attention! This one felt so raw and inevitable. Loved it!

This books deals with quite a very sensitive topics so its important to read the trigger warnings. But Bailey Hannah handles them with a lot of care.

Now the spice…SPICY. Whew. It was a good time!

Thank you Dell / Ballantine and NetGalley for this e-ARC!!

3.5 Stars Oh how I love a second chance romance! And one set on a ranch with cowboys? Sign me up! Change of Hart is the third book in Bailey Hannah's Wells Ranch series.

Blair Hart didn't expect to return to Wells Canyon, but with her mother ill, she must return fourteen years after she left the town and the boy she loved behind. Denver "Denny" Wells hasn't been the same since his world came crashing down around him and the love of his life slipped away. Now she's back and he's ready to prove that he can be the man Blair needs: someone she can trust, rely on, and who will take care of her while she takes care of everyone else. The heartbreak from years ago is hard to escape, as is Denny's current reputation as a playboy, but Blair sees hope that things may finally work out this time. If only she can truly let go of the past and trust Denny.

This was such a great addition to the Wells Ranch series! I appreciated that there was no miscommunication trope or third act breakup after these two finally worked it out! Denny and Blair's HEA is hard fought, so they deserve everything good thing that happens to them. Sometimes dual timelines drive me crazy in second chance romances (I just wanna know what happened in the past already!), but this one was well done and didn't leave too much of a mystery as to what caused their breakup in the first place.

Thanks Bailey Hannah and Dell for the ARC! Change of Hart releases May 27th!

Change of Hart might just be my favorite book in the series. Not only do we finally get Denny’s story and his second chance at love, but we also learn so much more about his mom and the family’s past. The deeper look at the ranch and the Wells family history adds richness to the world Bailey Hannah has built. Denver is still his lovable self, but seeing him in love adds even more depth to his character. And yes—the spicy scenes are just as hot as expected! The entire Wells family is back, bringing the laughs and making us feel like we’re right there with them. Honestly, I just want to sip sangria with the girls and scope out cowboys! Highly recommend this one for anyone who’s been following the series or loves a good cowboy romance.!

Bailey Hannah is a genius. I loved every minute of Blair and Denver’s story. Bailey tackles tough, sensitive material in a loving and respectful matter. I’m a Wells family fan and can’t wait for the next one!!

I wanted to scream with excitement when I got this ARC because Seeing Red was one of my favorite books last year.

This book broke my heart and put it back together again. I love me some second chance, high school sweethearts and the dual timeline made all the difference 🥹

Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me to read this early!

I’m not sure if it is a 3.75 or 4.

I think it’s a beautiful and believable love story. A LOT of hard topics discussed but I think she did it well (idk I’ve never dealt with the topics in discussion). I loved the characters and the real world feel of this book.

I enjoyed this book. However, I didn’t gel with the characters or the story as well as I did with the last two. I love flashback scenes but I thought the present time story got lost/fell a little flat at some points.

Either way I love me my cowboys and I love Bailey Hannah.

This was a great second chance romance! I have never read this series or author before and it was a really great read. A big thank you to NetGalley and Random House for sending me this arc and allowing me to find a new fav author!

This book will be available for purchase May 27th

In the arc I do have a problem with her being a nurse practitioner taking anti depressants and getting drunk. She isn’t trying to end her life so it doesn’t feel intentional. Maybe the author already heard about this and did the research to correct this.

I love this so much!! This was such a great addition to the series:,)
Blair and Denver were so perfect for one another and I really loved the cameos we saw of the other characters from the previous books in the series!!

Welcome to Wells Canyon and a cowboy, second chance romance.

Change of Hart is the epic love story of Blair Hart and Denver Wells, told over a dual timeline. The connection they built as childhood friends then sweethearts, forming from the age of 13 through to what caused the heartbreaking rift in their late teens is where all the emotion and drama lies in this story. From the moment they reconnect in the now, it is pretty much a straight shoot to their happy ever after, using a 5 minutes of honesty rule to bring to the surface and overcome moments in their past.

It was an engaging read, and the backstory (then), held most of raw and emotional moments and I found myself waiting for a moment of drama, deeply emotional moments in the current day, but they were limited.

I love this author and her writing! I’ve been obsessed with this whole series. Hands down this one is my favorite. This is the first book to ever make me cry. I felt so seen in the FMC. Her stories all feel like you’re reading a movie. I highly recommend her and will always read any of her books

Another cowboy romance I couldn’t put down! Denver Wells is THE one! The man stopped everything when he thought he saw his girl back in town! He did everything he could to prove to Blair she was it for him. And don’t get me started on the banter! Denver and Blair’s connection is absolute perfection!

The flashback chapters were more than I could have hoped for. We get to see how their friendship turned into romance and I ate that up! Even when they started dating, their friendship only grew. It was hard reading the last few flashback chapters (check trigger warnings). I found myself tearing up 🥹 but they worked through what happened in their own way and came back stronger with more love for one another.

Needless to say, if Bailey Hannah writes it, I’m going to read it!

I love a dual timeline and I loved the fight back for these two.
This is a fantastic addition to the Wells Ranch universe. The build-up to this story was worth the wait.

ARC REVIEW

4⭐️
2.5🌶

This was an emotional roller coaster for me. I literally felt every single emotion while reading this. I laughed, I cried(a lot), I got mad, confused, and angry but mostly I felt love. Blair and Denny finally got their second chance at love, just took nearly 15 freaking years to get it.

Listen, I ended up LOVING Denny and he really proved himself to Blair but why why why did he have to be the biggest manwhore. 😭 The fact that EVERYONE questioned whether he would hurt Blair or just use her for an ONS made me so angry. From the second Blair came back into town he was 100% all in on her. While their breakup wasn't entirely his fault, he definitely did grovel and made it up to her.

Blair is so independent and always the one you go to for help but she never feels like she can ask for help in return. Having Denny step in and help take some of the load off of her was a challenge at first but when she accepted it, she realized that she could trust him.

I enjoyed the flashbacks and they were necessary to their story. I just feel like they didn't need to let so much time pass before they reconnected, especially since they both never moved on. I also reallllly didn't like that Denny was such a playboy. It made me feel icky.

Tropes:
✨️ Second Chance
✨️ High School Sweethearts
✨️ Mental Health Rep
✨️ Cowboy/Nurse Practitioner
✨️ Girl Gang 👧

I fell in love with Wells Ranch and Wells Canyon in Alive and Wells. Chasing Red deepened that love. Change of Hart makes me wish it existed as a place I could actually live. I’m so happy I was able to receive a copy for an honest review.

Denny and Blair are a great example of right person, wrong time, and getting a second chance when it’s the right time. I love the dual timeline, and getting to see the actual events that led to them breaking each others hearts. Their love story is so sweet, and definitely lends to the idea of soulmates. The story sucked me in and left me wanting more. I love how close knit everyone on Wells Ranch is, and that adorable epilogue was perfect.

This book is actually phenomenal. Denny and Blair have lived in my head rent free and I don’t think I’ll ever recover. This book was emotional and heavy, but still had sweet and steamy moments. Bailey will always be a go to author for me. I’m in love.

I was not expecting this much emotion in a small town second chance romance. Bailey Hannah, this is probably my favorite second chance romance book of the year. I cried more than I would like to admit, but this was amazing. So heartfelt, real emotions, and heartbreaking moments for the characters in this story.
This story is told in dual timelines and dual POVs. We fall in love with these characters from when we meet them at 12 years old. Denver “Denny” Wells and Blair Hart start off as strangers, then develop a friendship that turns into young love. Some heartbreaking events lead to their initial break up, but when they are reunited 14 years later, you see Denver stopping at nothing to win back Blair. I loved his persistence and just being there for Blair, even though she is reluctant to ask for help. Denver Wells is the epitome of the perfect book boyfriend.

Change of Hart is a sweet story, but it is SPICY! There is a crawling moment that I did not see coming, and it was perfection. The mouths on Denver and Blair are just perfection.

Barrel racer x saddlebronc

Thank you Netgalley and Bailey Hannah for the opportunity to read this early. This is my honest review.

I had a feeling Denny and Blair were going to wreck me and hi, hello 👋 I was right. But like... in all the best ways?

I'm such a sucker for childhood friends to lovers AND second chance romance so this one almost felt made for me. The history, the pining, the way he's so gd down bad for her and willing to crawl (and beg)... I ate it up. And, while the spice was definitely what we've come to know and love from Bailey Hannah's writing, I feel as if the history between the main characters lent a unique tenderness to it all. There's something to be said about seeing two people who already know each other so well fall back together again.

This book deals with some heavy and sensitive topics (check your trigger warnings friends) but, as always, I think the author did an impeccable job at writing them with the sensitivity, tact, realism, and respect they deserve. The truth is... life is messy. We don't always make the right choices. Sometimes we lead with our hearts instead of our heads and respond in ways we later regret. All of the above is true for both Denny and Blair, and the authenticity it provides to the story and the depth it adds to their characters was *chef's kiss* for me.

Bailey Hannah has a way of making me cry and sweat all at once and you know what? I'm here for it.

This was another incredible addition to the Wells Ranch series. I can't get enough of these characters and can't wait to see what comes our way in the next. Thank you so much to the author and Dell Romance for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest, early review.

Welcome back to Wells Ranch, round #3!

Oh Blair and Denver….my sweet babies.

Blair Hart is the sweet “weird” girl who falls for her popular best friend, Denver Wells. With the support of her childhood best friend turned high school sweetheart, she believes she can conquer the world. When difficult circumstances arise, choices are made….that lead to breaking up with the man she thought she’d marry.

14 years later she is forced to move from Vancouver to her hometown, Wells Canyon, to take care of her dying mother. Her only goals: Take care of her mom, and avoid Denver Wells at all costs. Two major challenges: her best friend lives on Wells Ranch, and she's only one of two health care providers in town.

After a rodeo accident leads her to the back of an ambulance with the one man she’s been trying to avoid…she’s suddenly transported back to her teenage self and realizing her feelings really never went away.

Follow along on Blair and Denver’s journey with their second chance at love.

Austin Wells has officially been dethroned for me, Denver Wells is top-tier.

(I recommend checking the trigger warnings prior to reading, this book does contain some heavy topics, though, Bailey handled them wonderfully.)
