Thanks go to the publishing and Net-Galley for the chance to read and review Tucker Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas by Emily March before publication. My opinions are my own, and no one has influenced them in any way.

I recently found Emily March’s Eternity Springs series, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I immediately snagged Tucker when I found it on Net-Galley. As with the other books, Tucker pulled me in from the first page and held me engaged until the last page. The pacing is steady and worked well for this story. I loved the McBrides in Texas as much as the characters in Eternity Springs.

Gillian Thacker’s character has a good deal of depth, making her a compelling character. She’s independent and wants her new business venture to succeed. I never liked her fiancée from the start, so I was glad when their engagement ended. I felt her anger and frustration over how it dissolved though.

Tucker McBride is a great hero with many facets to his character. He had a career as a U.S. Army Ranger and was smart enough to realize when it was time to leave. He still suffers from what happened while a ranger, but his determination to move beyond it is inspiring. Although attracted to Gillian, he keeps his distance until she breaks off her engagement. Then he pursues her, determined to win her heart.

I thoroughly enjoyed the romance between Gillian and Tucker. It’s clear from their first meeting they are perfect for each other. He’s so patient with Gillian and accepts she needs time to trust her feelings after her breakup. They captivated me, and I was so pleased they found their way to each other.

If you enjoy romance with a character-driven plot and touching base with past characters from the Eternity Springs series, then you will love Tucker as much as I did. While this can easily be read as a stand-alone novel, I encourage you to read Ms. March’s Eternity series. It’s amazing. Happy reading!

What a very fun, entertaining story! An engaged woman running a bridal salon as probably gotten all the details for her own wedding set in stone and ready to go. Not so anymore with Gillian Thacker - but she’s working on it. In comes the Army Ranger across the street and he throws he life into turmoil. She just doesn’t know it yet. But Tucker McBride is not about to break up a relationship since he doesn’t want one himself, that is, until he meets Gillian. Then all bets are off and he will wait for her to figure things out – and if she doesn’t’, then he will make sure she does anyway! Loved it all!

I received an ARC from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. No compensation was promised or received for the review.

I do love the Eternity Springs series of books, and this is a linked series set in Redemption, Texas, and just as enjoyable if this book is anything to go by.

Gillian and Tucker are the main characters. Gillian is engaged and owns and runs a bridal shop with her Mother. Tucker is one of the McBrides of the series name, used to be an army ranger, and along with a couple of cousins owns land etc. in the area.

Tucker bumps into Gillian when she's having boyfriend and car issues and helps her out, then bumps into her again back in Redemption, but she is engaged and off limits. But things change and Gillian and Tucker start getting closer as time goes by and a few unexpected things happen!

I really liked both characters, and the story just flowed so well you wanted to keep reading to find out if they got their HEA. Another very enjoyable series by Emily March that I am looking forward to reading with each new book. I just have to go back now to the first book in the series and find out Jackson's story.

I really just enjoy this whole series. The small town feel, the family connections. This story is surrounding Jackson McBride who is back in Redemption after leaving his military career behind. He is struggling to figure out what to do next when his cousins suggest he open up a survival skill training business, teaching people to survive in the wilderness.

Gillian would benefit from his classes, since she first meets Tucker while being stranded on the side of the road. It doesn't help that she just left her fiance and they share a passionate kiss. However when she decides to patch things up Tucker is left to leave her alone. Gillian has a feeling something isn't right with her soon to be husband, the feelings don't seem to be there like they should but she is trying. When they decide to call it off, Tucker sees it as his chance to prove to her he is the better fit.

This friends to lovers story is sweet, and it takes a bit for them to find their way which I prefer when reading. Overall, such a good love story with lots of drama, bridezillas, and nosy family members.

Gillian Thacker owns Bliss Bridal Salon & her passion is weddings. Life isn’t turning out like she’d planned. The last thing she wants is for a real-life hero to ride to her rescue when an unexpected event puts her entire future in Redemption, Texas, at risk. So what’s a broken-hearted bridal expert to do? Maybe a new set of survival skills is exactly what she needs. Tucker McBride has been proud to call himself a U.S. Army Ranger. But now that his days of service are over, he’s decided to put his expertise to use by founding a wilderness skills training school. He sets up shop in Redemption, next to Bliss Bridal. Marriage has been pretty low on his agenda, but as soon as he meets Gillian, Tucker can’t help but contemplate the ultimate challenge.
Another well written, page turning Eternity Springs novel. I loved Tucker, he was just toe curlingly gorgeous & so patient with Gillian. I liked Gillian but didn't love her as she was too much of a ditherer for me & I felt she was more focused on solely the wedding rather than the relationship. I did love how their relationship developed & how they achieved their HEA. I hope this series goes on & on as I also love secondary characters.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I absolutely adored getting grubby with Tucker and Gillian!

When these two first meet, the sparks are fiery hot but Gillian is engaged to someone else. As Tucker gets settled in the small town of Redemption, Gillian is struggling to make her dream wedding come true. This is a delightful story, full of heart and charm as Gillian and Tucker first build a friendship before they embark on a romance.

And oh, what a romance it is! The events leading up to the official start of their love story were intense and my heart truly broke for Gillian's pain, but Tucker really came through for her in a huge way and showed her that life was full of possibilities. Watching the aftermath of their impulsive weekend was sublime, and the final resolution was pure perfection.

Both Celeste and Angelica are in fine form in this book, offering up just the right insights and life lessons for everyone in town. Hints were left like breadcrumbs for what I hope will be the next story for Boone, while this story gave us a beautiful HEA for Tucker and Gillian as it dovetailed perfectly with Jackson and Caroline's epilogue. If you've ever been to Eternity Springs, you don't want to miss this enchanting installment of the fantastic series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Tucker McBride is an Army Ranger no more, and he was feeling a bit lost. He makes his way to Redemption, Texas, where he is part owner of Enchanted Canyon. On the way there he encounters Gillian, who was walking away from a fight with her fiancée, in the middle of nowhere in a red dress and heels.

Gillian is happily helping prospective brides find that perfect dress, while planning her own wedding, with a lot less enthusiasm than one would expect. Gillian found herself attracted to Tucker a lot, despite having her own wedding to plan. And it was easy to put some distance between them, until Tucker bought the building she had in mind for her own business, and set up his wilderness survival skills training school there. But then Jeremy broke Gillian’s heart and Tucker took it upon himself to bring her back to the land of the living.

I really like Tucker. He is strong, steady, kind, and persistent. He never gave up on Gillian. Gillian was filled with doubts and sent a lot of mixed signals Tucker’s way. She was very frustrating in some instances. But luckily for Tucker, she found her confidence in herself.

I enjoyed reading this book, and the one before it, and can’t wait for Boone’s story.

I received an advanced copy of the book from Netgalley to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Good. Interesting characters and story. Even though this is part of a series it is a good stand alone story but in some parts I still sensed that having met the characters before would have been beneficial to the story.

I absolutely loved this book. Everything about it was just wonderful!!⠀
⠀
I loved the setting and because the writing is so brilliant, I was easily transported to Texas and could imagine all of the beautiful surroundings.⠀
⠀
The main characters, Gillian and Tucker are just fantastic and the chemistry as soon as they meet is just electric. ⠀
⠀
Tucker is the perfect gentleman and as an ex soldier he is the epitome of chivalry.⠀
⠀
Gillians relationship with her mum is beautiful and I love how they are also best friends and business partners.⠀
⠀
A gorgeous book perfect for escaping with. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 from me

I loved the fist book Jackson in the new The McBrides of Texas and continuing the Eternity Springs series, but to be honest, I was quite disappointed in Tucker. I really did not like Gillian and as for Tucker there were times I liked him and other times when I didn't. This one I give 2.5 stars, but on Goodreads it gets 2 stars.

It was great to read the second book in the McBrides of Texas series. Emily March has a unique talent to spinning a great story. Although part of a series you can read this as a standalone story. For those readers following the series that started in Eternity Springs, the weaving of former characters into the fabric of the new book is seamless.

I love her characterization as her writing skills bring the people to life. You can imagine Celeste, her cousin, along with Caroline, Jackson, Boone, Tucker and Gillian. The angst at trusting yourself is prevalent for both Gillian and Tucker: but for different reasons. I can't wait for Boone's story and curious to see how the baby girl being left in his care will figure in his story!

I received a free ARC eBook from Net Galley and the publisher in exchange for my honest opinions.

From the time Tucker McBride sees Gillian walking along the side of the dusty road near Redemption Texas in her red dress and red heels I knew this book was going to be a fun ride. Tucker is immediately entranced by her...only problem...she's engaged to Jeremy. When the inevitable happens and Gillian and Jeremy breakup Tucker comes up with a plan to win her over. This story is fun, sweet, sexy and the chemistry between them practically flies off the page. Tucker's biggest problem is convincing Gillian to believe in them. She's afraid to trust herself to make a decision about their relationship.
I really liked this book. I hadn't read any Emily March's Eternity Springs books before but this book is the 2nd in the McBrides of Texas break-off trilogy and I didn't have any problem jumping into the McBride's world. But, I have ordered the first book of the trilogy...Jackson and Caroline's story and plan on buying Boone's book as well!
Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I like this author she has a way of sucking you into a story and always has fun a quirky characters. I am so glad the Blessing cousins are back in this story you never know what will come out of their mouths and what they are going to be up to next. I really liked Tucker he was a Cowboy through and through, He was a perfect hero for this story nothing anyone could say or do could change who he is as a person. Gillian was a broken soul who needed the perfect person to come and help her heal but her family and friends always had her back. I loved the friendship between the girls they always have each others backs.This book does discuss sex and has some language so may not be suitable for all readers. Overall I really enjoyed this book it was a super fun read.

This was a different sort of read for me, but I was very much caught up with the writing style of Ms. March. This book is full of vivid descriptions, quirky characters and lots of tension where it is required.
What to do with a soldier returned home who quit the military and a bridal consultant/event planner who’s engaged to a not so likeable guy? Throw ‘em together in Texas, next door to each other and let the story begin.
An interesting read if you like contemporary romance.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

A sweet story about two people who find each other and, well, hea! Gillian has been working hard on the bridal salon she owns with her mom in Redemption, Texas- building her business and her life. And then, her rat of a fiancé Jeremy- well, he's a rat! Tucker retired from the US Army (he was a Ranger) and took a desk job in DC that made him nuts so he takes off for Redemption, where he sets up a wilderness skills school and meets...Gillian. I'd not read any of the other books in this series but that was ok. It takes a village (or in this case a small town) and it didn't matter a bit that the characters were new to me. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC. This is a nice, clean romance well told.

I found the story to flow well, the writing is good and the characters are well defined. As the title says, this is Tucker's story. He's recently left the military and is at loose ends; deciding to head "home" and redefine a life that he believed would always be in the military. On the ride home, he comes across a "damsel in distress"; his first meeting with Gillian Thacker. Tucker is taken with Gillian; but, Gillian is taken. She's engaged to a banker in her town, Redemption. She and her mother own a bridal salon. Will Tucker always regret what "might have been" or will he find his happily ever after? Come spend some time in Redemption and meet all the rich characters that call it home; including the Callahan and McBride families.

Comencé a leer a Emily March con el 15vo libro de su serie de Eternity Springs. Me gustó mucho la historia, el pueblo y los personajes, tanto así que me compré y leí no solo los 14 libros sino otros 3 de otra serie relacionada. Antes de esa serie no había estado en contacto con este tipo de libros bonitos donde sabes que todo va a salir bien al final y leerlos es reconfortante y creo que a veces es justo lo que un lector necesita después de leer tanta fantasía de alto riesgo.

Y ahora hablemos de Tucker. Este es el segundo libro del spin-off de Eternity Springs. Ese pequeño poblado está en Colorado y Enchanted Canyon, donde se lleva a cabo esta otra serie, está en Texas. Hasta ahora nos hemos enfocado en los primos McBride y su nueva aventura. En el primer libro Jackson, un cantautor reconstruye unos viejos edificios en el terreno que los 3 primos han heredado y ahora Tucker, quien fue militar toda su vida, decide retirarse y abrir una escuela de supervivencia.

En el poblado que está cerca de Enchanted Canyon, Redemption, Gillian y su mamá tienen una tienda para novias, está comprometida y va a emprender un nuevo negocio. A pesar de que su vida parece perfecta, no se siente muy satisfecha, sobre todo por el lado romántico.

Algo que me gusta de los libros de Emily March es que se toma el tiempo para desarrollar una relación así que vemos como va creciendo el cariño entre los personajes y como se van acoplando a sus nuevas circunstancias. Ambos personajes me parecieron interesantes y me agradó que Tucker no tuviera que tener un pasado súper trágico para lograrlo. Leí este libro después de uno donde el personaje masculino era demasiado macho alfa y se aprecia que Tucker no fuera así, nunca tuvo necesidad de posturas para que supiéramos que era un hombre fuerte.

Siempre disfruto mucho de estos libros y ya quiero conocer la historia del último primo, Boone.

Gracias a Netgalley por el ARC.

2nd in the series of Emily March spin off series from Eternity Springs
I love Emily March’s books. We meet Gillian whose life is not turning out as she expected and Tucker who is building a life after being a U.S. Ranger. We get Celeste Blessing and her eccentric cousin Angelica meddling and trying to get them to realize they belong together. Emily March stories are always fun and full of characters.
Go buy this book and her other series “Eternity Springs”. They are all a fun read.

Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas- Tucker is the second book and a great addition to all of Emily's books. The books is a sweet story that is well written and engaging.

A strong 3.5 stars for this book. I hadn't read any of the other books in the series and am not usually inclined to read Western romances but this one was definitely enjoyable as a standalone. Gillian runs a bridal salon and is a total girly girl. Tucker has left the Army where he was an Army Ranger and has strong hiking/camping survival skills. Gillian is engaged to a twit lol and Tucker is looking for the next stage in his career post military service. They meet and sparks fly right away. Very cute story.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC in return for my honest review.
