What Happens in Idaho

What a fun book! As an Idaho native, I immediately felt at home in the charming small-town setting of this book.

Bonnie Jo Pierson truly delivers the whole package in this romance tale. It's brimming with delightful moments that had me laughing out loud, yet it doesn't shy away from the raw realities of life's struggles. Pierson masterfully intertwines the highs and lows, seamlessly connecting moments of joy with heartrending emotional depth.

While I'll confess to shedding a few tears a time or two, the emotional impact was balanced, never leaving me feeling overwhelmed. Each character is expertly crafted, flawed yet utterly relatable, showcasing both their imperfections and their inherent goodness.

From the mishaps of getting stuck in a muddy field to the heart-pounding tension of a dangerous accident, this book is a feel-good ride from start to finish that you absolutely won't want to miss.

This was the first book I have read from Bonnie Jo Pierson and it will not be the last. I couldn’t set this book down it was sooo good.

I love small town romance and this book was amazing. I can relate to Lili a lot and admire her strength.

What Happens in Idaho by Bonnie Jo Pierson is a heartwarming and emotionally charged romance novel that will make readers fall in love with the characters and the story. The book tells the story of Dr. Liliana Chase, a successful trauma surgeon who is still grieving the loss of her husband and baby girl. When Liliana reluctantly returns to Clear Springs, Idaho, she finds herself stranded in a potato field after avoiding a cow with a death wish and is rescued by Blake Richardson, a mechanic and single dad.

As Liliana waits for her car to be repaired, she finds herself drawn to Blake's fun-loving and genuine personality, despite the secret he is hiding that could destroy their budding relationship. What follows is a heartwarming and emotional journey as Liliana and Blake confront their fears of loss and abandonment and learn to trust and love again.

Pierson does an excellent job of creating complex and relatable characters that readers will root for from the very beginning. The chemistry between Liliana and Blake is palpable, and their journey towards happiness is both heartwarming and emotional. The small-town setting of Clear Springs, Idaho, adds to the charm of the story and makes readers feel like they are a part of the town and its residents.

Overall, What Happens in Idaho is a must-read for fans of romance novels. It has everything you could want in a book - a heartwarming story, relatable characters, and a charming setting - and leaves readers feeling uplifted and hopeful. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartwarming and emotionally charged read.

what an amazing book!! i'm so thankful to netgalley for letting me read this one early!! it was just so much fun and exciting and sweet!! i had a great time reading this one and you should pick it up!!!

I thought this was a great romance book full of laughter, emotions, loss, grief, the whole works. Definitely some heavy sad/loss in the book but the love found after really brings some redemption to their lives and the story overall. I'm a fan of big city meets small town or small town went to big city and comes back to small town. Very Hallmark in that sense and I love it. Bonnie is a great writer and I very much enjoyed this read. As an Idaho girl I was excited to get to read an early copy ARC of this book. 5 star read for me, I recommend this! Thank you Bonnie and Rising Action Publishing for sending me this book!
