`New Release & Review: Beautifully Broken Pieces by Jessica Prince`

Title: Beautifully Broken Pieces
Series: Second Hope #6
Author: Jessica Prince

REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the last book in the second generation of Hope Valley. Holly is a sibling to Gyspy from the OG series. Gyspy and Marco were my favorite couple so it makes my heart so happy to see her siblings finding their HEAs. I loved Tanner. He is at a crossroads in his career and healing not just his injury, but also his soul in Hope Valley. Hope Valley has a way of making people take breath and enjoy life not just go through the motions. I love that Holly owns the bookstore in town. I know I would be a frequent visitor especially for book club. I also loved that Holly has an adorable cat. I can honestly say Holly is living my dream life. Tanner's bbf and teammate Luke is awesome and one of my favorite scenes is when he comes to visit Tanner in Hope Valley. This book was a beautiful note to end this series on.

BLURB:
I didn’t have the best track record when it came to men. No matter how hard I try to make good choices, I end up picking losers just like my father. After my last failed relationship, I decide to take a break from dating and focus my energy on other things—family, friends, and my thriving business.

At least that was the plan.

Until a certain gorgeous hockey player walks into my small town bookstore one day and turns my carefully crafted world upside down.

Tanner Fine is back in Hope Valley after a season-ending injury and his body isn’t the only thing he’s trying to heal.
He’s set his sights on me and is determined to show me that he’s different from the men in my past. Despite all my efforts to keep my walls up, I can’t stop myself from falling for him.

There are just two problems standing in our way.

The first is that he isn’t here to stay. Hope Valley is my home, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. But it’s only a matter of time until Tanner returns to his real life, leaving me behind. The second is that I’ve been keeping a secret from everyone I love. And when it finally comes to light, it could ruin everything.

There’s nothing quite like going home.

Breathing in that fresh Montana air with the woman I love at my side is something only the luckiest of men ever get to experience.

And I’m one of them.

After surviving a deadly virus, false imprisonment, watching the woman I love nearly die, and a dishonorable discharge, things are finally looking up.

I got the one thing I wanted—to return to Murky Falls Ranch and take over with my brothers.

But things are never what they appear. The ranch is no longer a ranch. I pulled my brother out of a fire set by a man who hates our family, and there are several new additions to the family I was not expecting.

I thought the worst was over, but now I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever know how forever feels.

My stomach churned as we approached Parker’s family ranch, and it wasn’t just because I suspected I was pregnant.

“Do you see that third peak to the right?” Parker pointed out the windshield. “That’s where the edge of my family’s ranch is. Murky Falls is over there. That’s where our ranch name came from.”

I nodded, trying to take it all in while also fighting the urge to leap out of the SUV and run back home. What was I thinking, agreeing to move here when I hadn’t even met anyone in his family first?

Mountains painted the midnight landscape as far as the eye could see. It should have been beautiful and welcoming, but an odd sense of impending doom told me this wouldn’t be the wonderful welcome he thought it would be.

“Blake,” Parker said, shooting me a curious glance. “Are you okay?”

“Of course,” I grinned, attempting to keep the fear and urge to puke from showing on my face.

“Then why do you look like I just told you we’re getting married?”

The smirk on his face eased the tension in my body just a little. “Well, we did come out here with the intent of starting over.”

“Just not getting married right away. Trust me, I haven’t called your family for a shotgun wedding.”

My head snapped so fast toward the passenger window at his words that I nearly pulled a muscle in my neck. If only he knew how close we were to using that phrase.

“Here we are,” he announced, stopping at the open gates of the ranch.

An emblem of Murky Falls Ranch greeted us on either side of the entrance, sealing my fate. There was no turning back now.

“It’s been years since I was home,” he murmured. “It’ll be good to see everyone.”

In order to do that, we’d have to actually drive forward, but I wasn’t exactly yelling at him to get moving. The delay was the only thing holding me together at the moment.

But just as I thought that, he pulled through the gates toward my doom.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Review - Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart by Giulia Lagomarsino "Some of her best writing...Holy cow, this book! I was immediately immersed in Murky Falls! I could not put this book down. Im excited to read the rest of the series!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Review from C. Luna - "Real Good Man by Giulia Lagomarsino is the kind of small-town romance that sneaks past your defenses with humor, heart, and a slow-burn love you didn’t see coming—but end up rooting for with your whole chest."

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
