This was a kind of a quick book. It was a nice story set in a wonderful sounding location. It had just the right amount of romance. I enjoyed the story and definitely recommend this series.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the early copy

You can count on Emily March to give you an enjoyable book. This book was sad at times but in the end, as usual, we get our happily ever after. Loved the story and the characters. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Boone is a wonderful book full of depth, emotion, heartbreak and joy. Boone has had a great tragedy in his life but has now found his place and peace in Eternity Springs with a group of close friends and family.
For three years Hannah has been living the life of a nomad not settling anywhere since a devastating loss. Boone encounters her as she is considering ending it all at a beauty point in Eternal Springs.
Slowly these two lost souls start healing each other’s hearts. This is a stunning journey of second chances and deep love as they overcome their pasts together, no spoilers take this journey with them and have a fabulous time.
Heartwarming and a throughly page turning read.
My thanks to net galley and publishers for opportunity to review this book honestly.

I have read the previous books in the series so was familiar with the characters and their backstory, but this can be read as a standalone.

Hannah is a bit of a wanderer, lives in a van traveling around the country since the tragic death of her husband and 2 daughters. She decides she is going to make a stop at lovers leap where she contemplates ending her life.

Enter Boone Mcbride, cowboy and all round nice guy. Through the entire book i imagined him as Kayce from Yellowstone. Anyway Boone talks Hannah down from her plans and gives her a place to stay for a few weeks on his small property by the lake.

Boone has a complicated history himself and over time they begin to heal together.

I loved loved loved this book. Cowboy romances are my guilty pleasure in life, i swear i should live on a ranch in Montana or Utah, maybe in a previous life.

Anyway, great book, thoroughly recommend it.

Emily March is becoming an autobuy for me. This book is no exception. I will say - it as so many Emily March books do - takes on some really tough subjects. This book needs a true content warning for <spoiler> suicide, attempted suicide, loss of a child, infertility, physical and sexual abuse of a child, mental illness and depress, loss of a child, and serious childhood illness - I probably missed a few things too.</spoiler>. I felt, as I was reading this, that I am not sure I would have made it through what both Boone and Hannah have been through. Boone, in particular, is pretty amazingly resiliant. He has been in Eternity Springs for the last five years healing and try to move on from the hand life has dealt him. Hannah stops in Eternity Springs as part of her wanderings to try and heal from her own losses.

Boone meets Hannah when she has truly hit the end of her emotional rope on a personal anniversary that holds immeasurable pain. Boone is at his own crossroads in his life - about to adopt a child that has a close connection to his painful past. Both Boone and Hannah find themselves being the light and support the other needs to move forward.

This is a very emotional read - as you would expect - but it is also fun and funny as all the McBride books have been. I will say, watching a single man adopt a child was very different from what a single woman might experience. There was no doubt he loved Bree - but having a nanny or babysitting help from 9am - 9pm - was pretty impressive. I'm not sure when he actually spent time with his little girl, beyond night time feedings.

Overall - I do recommend this - especially if you love western romances with a lot of (rich) Texas cowboy flair.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

The McBride men find brides. March presents Boone's story in the latest Eternity Springs installment. I liked the energy and confidence of Boone. All of the McBride men are delicious Texans, they just need to find the right woman who is their match. Hannah is a tortured soul but her full story doesn't come out until much later in the book. Boone gets two new additions to the family but I found It odd he pawns them off for a few days so he can romance Hannah. It's a good read and the scenes between Hannah and Boone are charged with electricity. I wish Eternity Springs really did exist.

The ends of the earth. That's how far I’ll go to get my hands on the latest Eternity Springs novel. Out of all the fictional worlds I’ve visited, this one is closest to my heart because every time I visit, my heart is healed a little more, whether or not I realized it needed healing. Right alongside these characters, my heart is broken, knit back together, and given wings to soar.

I always try to take my cues for what I reveal in a review from the book's synopsis. While this book's blurb would pique my interest, it really doesn’t reveal much about the story. And holy wow, is there ever a lot that happens in this one! I was eagerly awaiting Boone's story, and March definitely didn’t disappoint. But dang it! There’s so much I want to tell you about – amazing, emotional, heart-rending, delicious details – that would be spoilers. But I promise, it's an amazing read.

Boone and Hannah both have had some devastating experiences and brutal life lessons. Both need the healing that can only be found in Eternity Springs. While Boone is determined and focused and wants badly to earn his angel wings, Hannah has lost her moorings, drifting from day to day, existing in a colorless world and not really living. When the wise, prescient Celeste Blessings challenges Boone to be a light, he sees how desperately Hannah needs light in her life and rises to the challenge.

If you’ve never read a book in this series, you’re really missing out on an unparalleled romance reading experience. The town of Eternity Springs is vivid and beautiful with colorful, endearing characters, all of which welcome the reader as a new member of the family. The sense of community is strong, the meddling well-meaning, all wrapped in unconditional acceptance so that once you visit you’ll never want to leave. The books stand alone, so you can start with Boone and Hannah's story and then catch up on any you’ve missed. Your romantic heart will thank you for the time you spend with this heartfelt, poignant, phenomenal story. And who knows? A little of Eternity Spring's healing magic might just follow you back into the real world.

I requested to read and review this from St. Martin Publishing Company. Emily March does it again with a great read. This is a powerful story about love, forgiveness and letting yourself be happy. Life has no guarantees. Hannah and Boone have a great chemistry that radiates from this book. Eternity Springs sounds magical a place that would be a must see with the views and everything that can happen. The shop owners are quirky but realistic. Sometimes family can be related and or not. This is a must read.

This is the third in the McBride series and for me it may be the most moving. Although it is part of a series, it can work as a stand alone read. I do suggest that if you want to appreciate Ms March’s story telling, you would be wise to read the first 2 books in the McBride series.

Boone is an attorney. He has moved to Eternity Springs in order to do work which is not anything that will break his heart. When he lived in Ft Worth, he worked with children who had been abused. Emotionally, it took him to places he did not want to go.

Now, in Colorado he is considered a ladies’ man. He is wealthy, handsome and charming. And although he does a great deal of good for the town and individuals, he is not really taken very seriously. In his past there is tragedy and that has prevented him from providing his mother with grandchildren. That is a condition his mother wants to change.

While riding his motorcycle, he sees a woman who looks as though she may be planning to jump off a high cliff. He inserts himself into her vision and begins to talk to her. He understand that look in her eyes. He recognizes someone who seems to be at the end of her road.

Hannah has been driving around the country for 3 years. She has had a loss which has been overwhelming to her. With no family or friends to support her, she feels there is no happiness or future for her.

This series is about family. There are families and then there are families. Eternity Springs seems to be populated by people who care for one another. Whether they are blood relatives or not, does not seem to matter.

Boone has a close knit family back in Texas. But, he has created a place for himself in Eternity Springs. And the people there are willing to have his back whenever he has an issue. That seems only fair when he is always willing to step up for his friends.

Hannah finds herself being overwhelmed by the love and care and friendship which is offered to her. It is hard for her to remember that sense of warmth and welcome.

Ms March creates characters who are so real and human it is scary. Hannah and Boone are not perfect people, but they are wonderful people.

There is a woman named Celeste who lives in Eternity Springs. She is the heart and soul of the small town. She also apparently has some sort of power to touch the hearts of the people around her.

This story is not always easy to read. There are tragedies and sorrows which at times seem overwhelming.

But, there is resiliency and the power of love which are evident everywhere in the story.

Hannah and Boone find happiness. And everyone in the book seems to help them along the way.

Ms March is an amazing story teller. She never disappoints. She has provided me with a great number of hours of wonderful reading. And I thank her.

I am a fan.

I received this book from the publisher, through NetGalley. I am voluntarily writing this review and all opinions are completely my own.

Boone by Emily March is the Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas book three and can easily be read as a stand-alone. The story is published by St. Martin's Press.
Boone McBride is a maserati driving single lawyer who loves his new small town life very much. That his life is about to get sheken up, he has no clue. Everything is changing when his past shows up and he gets an opportunity he was very much longing for in the past. But now ??? What to do, how to react.
To make matters more interesting he finds himself a woman who deals with her own big, issues, Hannah.
Together they have a lot to work through to get a well deserved and hard earned hea. A great read, 4,5 stars.

Boone’s story is entertaining, touching, serious, heartwarming, and emotional. Both Boone and Hannah have lived with loss, disappointment, and dealing with loved ones who battled with mental health issues. With each other, they discover healing and love. There’s plenty of chemistry, the help of good friends and family, an adorable baby, a rambunctious puppy, and a delightful return to Eternity Springs, as well as visits to Redemption, Texas. Excellent women’s fiction and romance!

It can't get any better than 'Boone', Emily March's latest offering in her Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas trilogy. I want to go to Eternity Springs, where the people are kind and supportive. This book helps one feel how truly wonderful people are in this great nation, even with our trials and challenges. Boone is delicious, with a truly heartbreaking back story. Hannah has an equally difficult story. How these two people combine to overcome is a delightful ride. Please read all of the trilogy, and for that matter all of the Eternity Springs offerings. You will be richly rewarded in doing so.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

18 books in thus series and this one blew me away! I couldn't put it down. My heart hurts for both their tragedies.
Emily March has a gift in writing stories full of warmth, hope and healing.

My Texas bad boy Boone was such a mixture of Texas gentlemen and playboy. Hannah never stood a chance against him.

The little details are sometimes the best and I loved the different aspect Hannah had on mourning black.

Celeste and Angelica of course are perfect angels.

I don't want to give this series up! Ot definitely provides a great comfort read but there are possible triggers.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publfor an ARC for an honest review.

"Boone" by Emily March
I absolutely loved this story. It is another winning read from Emily March with all the magic of Eternity Springs, CO. There were times that my eyes sprung leaks and the tissues just couldn't keep up with the flow; and, there were chuckles along the way, too. This is a sweet clean contemporary romance story. If this is your first visit to Eternity Springs that is okay as this is a stand-a-lone read… yes there are folks from prior stories within the pages of this story. But you will be okay because everything you need to know, will be clear.
I couldn't put this story down, well yes I had to take breaks because my eyes got tired but then I was right back into this story. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy Reading ! !
Note: I received an ARC of this story from the publisher with the request for an honest review.
