(A Blue Spruce Hills Novella)
Publication date: October 29th 2026
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Holiday, Romance
She’s “happy,” but someone might say she’s “settled.” What happens when the life that makes you feel safe is also the one keeping you small?
Thirty-four-year-old piano teacher Riley O’Connor believes her chance to become a world-class musician has sailed. She’s content-ish with her life in Blue Spruce Hills, a quaint mountain town that is safe, quiet, and predictable. Instead of performing on stages, she teaches the neighborhood kids, hangs out with her best friend Clara, reads books surrounded by her houseplants, and rehearses like she’s about to be called to join the London Philharmonic.
Though she’d be too scared to go. Grammy called her ’Fraidy Cat, after all.
When what Riley thinks is a break-in turns out to be a dog who won’t leave, she’s thrust into a series of events that challenge her to confront her anxiety. First, the social kind: the veterinarian is incredibly handsome. And kind. And grieving his wife. And looking for someone to give his son piano lessons.

Review:
5 Stars
This is the second book in this multi author series, but the great thing is the books can be read in any order. I just devoured this book. Delaney and Bishop had me at right at the start. I love a good brother's best friend romance and these two have a long history. You can easily see right from the beginning they have an ease about them that even if they don't want to acknowledge it yet is they are each others safe space. Things get quite interesting when they become roommates when Delaney's housing situation is messed up when she arrives for her new internship in Chicago. Sparks are already flying, but putting them together under the same roof they are going to ignite. You pretty much can guarantee if there is a cat in the book you have me sold. Yes Bishop may say he's not happy with Darcy living with him, but that grump kitty wins over that big old hockey player. Let's talk about what prime book boyfriend material that Bishop is. Yes, he may make a few blunders along the way, but we get to see why so we can give him a little slack for that. He makes up for that in so many ways, but the ending and epilogue are some of his best green flag qualifications for me. That all in full support for Delaney's dreams makes me wish I could find my own Bishop. I love the close relationship Bishop has to Delaney and Declan's parents. That for me is another favorite part for me. They treat Bishop as one of their own and it warms my heart. I highly recommend this book. Trust me all the feels, humor, and heat will have you flying through this book.

REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the third book in the series. I really liked Iris. I could easily see myself being friends with her. She has such a big heart. I loved her free spirit mom. She is a great character. I felt for North with his backstory, it shaped his path to Ashland. We've seen the corrupt police department through out this series, the question is can North be the catalyst to turn it around. Some really bad apples lead to some hold onto your seat moments. There are some sensitive topics in this one so please check the trigger warnings. Jessica Prince did them with respect and I appreciated the support the characters had. There are several characters I hope are going to get stories in this series. This was a quick read for me, but it was enjoyable one.
BLURB:
The first time I laid eyes on North Hastings I fell hard. Unfortunately, the man didn’t know I existed.
Until one night changed everything. At least for me. The problem is, he doesn’t remember the hours we spent in that bar, talking and laughing. Or taking me home with him later that night.
Talk about humiliating.
With my heart smashed to smithereens, I decided it was time to move on from my unrequited crush and try to start fresh. Problem is, I can’t get the man out of my head. And it isn’t just because he rocked my world in those late night hours.
North is holding onto secrets. Secrets that push him to do things that some might consider reckless, but that I call brave.
But while he’s taking on his own demons, the ones from my past are determined to rear their ugly heads. And just as North and I are trying to navigate our way back to each other, those demons are determined to tear us apart.

REVIEW:
5 Stars
Finn has gone in my top book boyfriends list. That man is going to make you swoon and your heart get all mushy. I just loved this book so much. The humor is one of my favorite parts of the book. The banter between Finn and Poppy was some of the best. The way Finn made Poppy feel about herself was one of the things I loved about Finn. That man wore his heart on his sleeve and he will do everything he can to prove to that they are so much more than friends with benefits. Some of my favorite scenes are with Finn and Poppy with little Sunny. That just melted my heart and also showed how true and genuine Finn is. This book had me hooked from the first page. This book may give me all the feels and the laughs, but boy does it also bring the steam. The chemistry between Finn and Poppy is scorching hot. The deep connection they have translates to the bedroom as well. This is such a good book that I highly recommend!
BLURB:
The headlines say I’m engaged to one of football’s biggest stars. There’s one problem—we’re not actually dating.
Finn Miller is my best friend’s brother, a professional athlete, and the most dangerously boyfriend-y man I’ve ever met.
He knows where to order my favorite drink. He carries my bags when I shop. He knows exactly how to make me laugh (and other things), while making me forget why
I’ve sworn off relationships.
Our chemistry? Off the charts. Our commitment? That’s another story.
We’re friends with benefits and that’s it.
Then one innocent joke sparks a media frenzy, and suddenly pretending to be Finn’s fiancée comes with a million-dollar opportunity that I can’t afford to turn down.
A few public appearances and one ridiculously expensive ring to pretend to be engaged to a man who knows me better than anyone? Easy right?
Wrong.
Finn is determined to make this feel real. And the more time I spend playing his future wife, the harder it gets to remember why I never wanted this role.
I had a game plan to protect my heart, chase my dreams, and never fall for Finn Miller.
Too bad he has a game plan of his own.

This is the second book in the series. This was a fast read for me and the story is fast paced. I love a good second chance romance. Poor Dakota her past in Ashland wasn't the greatest. There is so much hurt, but sometimes what we see isn't the whole story. Her return to her hometown is going to show her it's not all bad here. Oh my gosh Roe's little girl Cassi is the best. She has such a big bright personality and I love that Roe let's her by herself. Her nickname by Dakota's dad Sparkle is very fitting. This book definitely delivers on the feels because you can feel the emotions rolling off the characters. There is also a touch of suspense that had my heart in high alert. From where Dakota was at the beginning of this to where she ends up at the end of this book made my heart so happy. It's a healing journey for her.
BLURB:
When I left home at nineteen years old, I swore I would never go back. I ran away from all the pain and heartbreak, determined to find my own happily ever after.
If only I’d been so lucky.
Life had never been kind to me, no matter where I went.
Now, all these years later, I broke the promise I made to myself and returned to the town that holds all of my worst memories. It’s supposed to only be a quick visit, a chance to check on my father and make sure he’s on the mend before I take off again.
But the boy who tore my heart to shreds when I was just a girl has other plans.
Roe Clifton says he never stopped loving me. He says letting me walk away was the worst mistake he ever made, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win me back. The problem is, I still hate the motorcycle club he’s a part of—the one that gave him the closest thing to a family he ever knew.
I competed with the Iron Wraiths once already and lost everything. I’m not looking to torture myself like that a second time.
But when demons from both our pasts come knocking, Roe is determined to do everything in his power to keep me safe. Even if that means putting himself between me and the danger lurking just around the corner.
