Such a great second chance romance 🩵.
Denny and Blair dating when they were young and get their second shot about 10 years later. This book has flash backs to really help paint the picture of their love story. Seeing them come back together after being apart for years made their HEA even better. Denny knew if he ever got his second chance he couldn’t waste it. An emotional read I cried for sure! Can’t wait to see what Bailey plans for book 4 with these cowboys.

Change of Hart was the perfect small-town, second-chance romance—and it’s officially my favorite book in the Wells Ranch series. Denver and Blair’s story is heartfelt, emotional, and beautifully told. I was completely drawn into their world from the very first page.

What I loved most was how deeply layered their relationship was. Despite the heartbreak and pain in their past, they find a way to reconnect and heal. Their journey felt raw and authentic, and watching them work through their unresolved feelings made the payoff that much sweeter.

The flashbacks were a standout element for me. Getting glimpses of how their love story began when they were kids added so much depth and nostalgia. Those moments gave me all the butterflies and kept me smiling (and maybe tearing up) from start to finish.

Bailey Hannah does a fantastic job of capturing small-town charm, close-knit family dynamics, and the kind of emotional tension that makes your heart ache in the best way. If you're a fan of second chances, heartfelt emotion, and characters with real growth, Change of Hart is a must-read.

I was really excited to start this book, and thankful I received it as an eArc, and that it can be a stand alone. I wasn’t sure if I needed to read the others beforehand.

I really enjoyed Blair and Denver finding their love again. At the same time when you love someone so hard, it’s so easy to just pick back up, which is what they did. I would’ve liked for less of the flashback chapters. What was shown in those maybe could’ve been a little less, but that’s just me. Also having a main character embrace being depressed and medicated, with a man who accepts and supports it. That was amazing.

Overall I enjoyed the read, but it just didn’t have the oomph in it for me. I was also listening to a book with literally the exact storyline, so that didn’t help

Bailey Hannah owns my entire heart. I loved Denver & Blairs story. The way the characters talk openly about their past mistakes is so refreshing. I love a second chance romance that actually feels second chance and you can never go wrong with a cowboy romance.

Another solid romance from the Wells Ranch series. Denver's story is about lost love, and it's easy to fall into the couple's shared history. I was rooting for Blair and Denver immediately and their childhood breakup made sense. (Not every second chance romance feels worth it, but this one was heartwrenching.)

Special thanks to NetGalley and Dell for the ARC.

Honestly I always love Baileys books! I think I was really looking forward to this one but it wasn’t as great as the other ones she has written. I think maybe if I had read the others again before reading this one, I would’ve remembered more. But all in all, the writing was great!

I loved this book! Definitely my favorite so far in the series. I love how Denny was an emotional guy and still had the support from his family and friends and isn’t shamed for it. I LOVE me a second chance romance and this one was perfect. This book had me crying, laughing, swooning and so much more. I loved it! Definite 5 star!!

I adore Bailey Hannah & this entire series! While Denver and Blair were not my favorite couple by far, this was still such an enjoyable read! I loved the flashbacks from when they were younger & I just adore the "it's always been you" trope! I wasn't a huge fan of the back and forth with Blair in the beginning...and that she just kept bringing up Denver living his life while she was away. The backstory wasn't really fair and gave a bit of miscommunication trope, which I don't love. This might be my least favorite of the series so far...but I still ate it up and loved every single moment! Bailey Hannah's writing just has a way of taking your breath away & transporting you somewhere else.

Daddy… I mean… daddy… I mean…Denver. Freaking. Well’s.

Oh Denny my sad, sad boy. This story was super emotional and heavy on the grief. I was going THROUGH it reading this book. Second chance romance is one of my top tropes and this was such a unique story. Devastating storyline, but beautiful reunion to say the least.

The five seconds of honesty bit KILLED me. Denver is such a tender loving character and 😭😭 ugh I could sob at what he has on through.

I loved getting to see a bigger clip of the conception of Jackson & Kate’s relationship even though their book is going to be gut wrenching devastating.

This book. I have been waiting to read this book for what feels like forever. I have loved Baileys books since Alive and Wells was indie published, and now I finally got to read Change of Hart as a traditionally published book, and I couldn’t be more proud😭

Change of Hart is such an honest and raw second chance book stretching over about 20 years. From following Blair and Denver’s relationship as young 13 year olds, through dating at 15, Denver loosing his mom at 18 and the fall of their relationship, to 14 years apart and now getting their second chance. Second chance will always have a space in my heart, and this is one of my favorites. There’s just something about that first, young love🥹


• second chance
• first + young love
• it’s always been you
• mental health rep
• cowboy romance
• strong female fmc

I am a second chance romance girlie to my core. You will always find me falling for the second chance romances before the book even begins, but wowwwweeee Bailey Hannah. You blew this one out of the water and really knew how to tug on a girl’s heartstrings. The emotion was powerful and beautiful through the entire story.

Honestly, I knew I would love Denny in book one and couldn’t wait for his book, but I genuinely didn’t know I’d love him THIS MUCH. If you’re looking to fall in love with a cowboy and his cowgirl too, then this book is for you

I also remember reading book one and wishing for the backstory on how their mom passed and that journey, so I guess be careful what you wish for 🥲🥲🥲

Stunning. Fabulous. Never over this book.

I live for cowboy romances & Bailey Hannah never fails to disappoint me. Change of heart was angsty, emotional (yes I did cry several times) & sexy all in one. I love a good second chance romance & boy did this book deliver. Bailey Hannah knows how to pull you into a story & I was invested from the first line to the very last. I honestly can’t stop recommending this book to anyone who will listen. Blair & Denny will forever be in my heart. Can’t wait to read At Whits End in December!!

This gave me everything I ever want in a cowboy romance novel: healing, drama, spice, and just enough emotional whiplash to keep me buckled in for the full ride. ;) Bonus points for the cameos! My fanfic loving brain was absolutely EATING that up. Denny & Blair's love story tugged at all of my heart strings. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for them like it was the live finale of Love Island: Ranch Edition. And by the last page, I was a satisfied, teary pile of goo.

Perfect. Just absolutely perfect. I adored each and every page of this story and was pulled in start to finish. Bailey has such a beautiful way of including mental health rep that feels raw and relatable. The characters were soulmates that just made me smile and love watching them fall so hard. Such a beautiful story!

This book is perfection. No notes. I went through the entire spectrum of emotions while reading including crying at some parts, but it was well worth it.

Denver is the quintessential cowboy that uses humor and goofiness as a coping mechanism. He meets his best friend Blair at a young age and they end up falling for each other. Denver and Blair are each other’s first everything but when challenges arise they fall apart. Now Blair is back in town after many years and Denver is prepared to show her they are meant to be.

I swear this book will be my Roman Empire. I love the representation of mental health and other health concerns that I won’t spoil. Denver and Blair are definite soulmates. I love the way they love and support each other through things.

Five seconds of honesty? Iykyk 😉 When I say this book altered my brain chemistry, I’m not even kidding. I can honestly say this entire series is one of my favorites of all time and this third book captured my heart 😍

I’m such a sucker for both a dual timeline and dual pov and this one absolutely delivers. It really felt like we were able to get to know Denver and Blair on a deeper level with how it alternated between past and present while also being able to experience the story from both perspectives. I loved getting to go back in time to see how they first met and all the events of the past that led them to the present day.

Bailey Hannah does a spectacular job of making characters come to life. These characters deal with real life issues and it was heartbreaking at times to read. There’s definitely some hard topics tucked within the pages of this book, but I appreciated how they were always handled with care. I laughed, I sobbed and experienced all the emotions while reading this book.

Change of Heart is everything I love in a romance: heartwarming, emotional, and just the right amount of spice to keep me up way too late reading “just one more chapter.” Bailey Hannah has such a knack for crafting relatable characters you can’t help but root for. The chemistry between the leads practically jumps off the page, and the spicy moments are tastefully done. Enough heat to make you blush, but woven perfectly into a story full of genuine feeling and heartfelt moments.

This book gave me all the feels: I laughed, I swooned, and I found myself grinning like an idiot more than once. If you’re looking for a romance that balances a touching love story with some swoon-worthy spice, Change of Heart is exactly what you need. Highly recommend!

Change of Hart was the first book I read by Bailey Hannah, but it won't be my last. This is a second-chance romance following Blair and Denver. After Blair moved away for college and their relationship ended, she finds herself back in her hometown nearly 15 years later to care for her mom with dementia. Try as she might, staying away from Denver Well is harder than she thought. This had everything I love in a romance: dual narration, strong character growth, meddling side characters, and a setting that is almost it's own character. Definitely recommend checking the list of trigger warnings before you pick this one up.

Okay, confession time: I’m usually not a fan of dual timelines… but WOW did this one pull me in! I found myself absolutely craving more of past Blair and Denver — their younger selves had me completely hooked.

This book tackles some tough topics, but it does so with such grace and heart. Hannah Bailey’s writing is emotional in the best way — I laughed, teared up, and swooned my way through it.

And speaking of swooning… DENVER. 😍 He is the blueprint. From page one, I was like “yep, he’s the one.” You could feel how much he loved Blair — the man FOUGHT for her and took care of her even when she wasn’t sure how to let him in.

As for Blair — she’s the definition of strength and resilience. She pours so much love into those around her, even when it means putting herself last. I adored her journey and the way she slowly allowed herself to be cared for, too.

This story is raw, heartfelt, and full of chemistry that jumps off the page.

This has everything I love in a second chance romance: actual character growth, lots of chemistry between the main characters, and a scheming cast of side characters. I will definitely read Bailey Hannah’s other books
