As I first started reading through this one, I had mixed feelings.... I was leery about any real relationship with such damaged characters connecting and it not just being a codependency. But wounded hearts heal AND this ended up being a fantastic read with true love prevailing. There is a lot of chemistry and you can't help but love the characters in this trilogy overall. Humour and romance, this one will pull your heartstrings and keep you entertained.

What a wonderful story of coming back from loss. This is the third book in the McBrides of Texas trilogy that is also set in Eternity Springs, Colorado. I love both series and this was such a heart-wrenching story that ends in joy and promise. Promise for a future, for healing, for hope. I know this trilogy is over, hopefully the characters in this series will continue to show up in the Eternity Springs series.

I loved reading Boone and Hannah’s story in Boone by Emily March; book 18 in her Eternity Springs series. So far, if you’ve been reading this series, the only things we knew about Boone was that he was single, , a lawyer, best friends with his cousins Jackson and Tucker, and that he left his native Texas to move to Eternity Springs. Finally, we get to know more about him and the mystery surrounding him. This story is not only about Boone, but also about Hannah. Note: keep tissues nearby while reading this story.

Boone McBride appears to be a man who has it all; good looks, deep pockets, and a job he enjoyed. Despite having lots of friends, few know about his the heartbreak and the reasons behind his decision to leave his home, family and career in Austin to move to the isolated, small town of Eternity Springs, in the Colorado Rockies. Eternity Springs is a magical town, helping wounded people heal and Boone was no exception. Driving pass Lover’s Leap, Boone recognizes a troubled soul, sitting on the ledge, and without thinking, stops to help. Hannah Dupree has tragically lost everything she ever loved; her will to live and keep going has been deserting her. When Boone walks into her life, determined to save her, Hannah finds it easier to go along with him than to resist. It doesn’t take long before Hannah is drawn into the life and magic of Eternity Springs. As her spirit begins to heal and her strength returns, she finds it within herself to stand up to the hardheaded, big-hearted Boone. When shadows from the past jeopardize their love and happiness, Hannah and Boone must reach within to find their inner strength, to stand strong and united. Their old ghosts must be defeated in order for Hannah and Boone can forge a life together full of love.

Ms. March wrote a sweet and emotional story that should not be missed. It was a story filled with magnetic attraction, sizzling chemistry, and endearing characters that help Boone and Hannah find their love and happiness. I highly recommend Boone to other readers and look forward to Emily March’s next book.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Boone and Hannah have both suffered tragedy and loss to the extreme. Hannah is trying to escape it all and ends up in Eternity Springs because she likes the name of things in the city. Boone is a bit farther along and has been offered something he never thought would happen. They meet at Lovers Leap and Boone recognizes a tortured soul. He talks her down and invites her to stay in his guest cottage. As their friendship deepens Hannah finds she is welcomed in Eternity Springs and this just may be the place that will help her heal. When Boone asks her to help him out she knows it will test her to the limits. Will she give herself a second chance and see what Boone already knows, that they are meant for each other? A great conclusion to this trilogy.

A venture back to Eternity Springs brings the patient and often emotional relationship of Brant and Hannah. He is an eligible bachelor not looking for love. She is a grief scarred woman not looking for healing. Their relationship is mired in discovery for them both.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Boone: Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas by Emily March joins two disaster-stricken good people in their struggles to overcome unimaginable pain and loss. Boone McBride (think hard-working, Texas millionaire) has suffered the devastating loss of his wife. Hannah Dupree (psychologist) lost her family: two daughters and her husband in a car accident. Healing from their losses could happen in the Colorado resort area called Eternity Springs, with each of them opening their hearts to friends and new opportunities. The story unfolds carefully because each of the main characters is fragile in their unique way. The story offers hope despite tragedy.

A sweet, heart-breaking and moving romance. Two people with major tragedies in their past move on to their future together. While the book is called Boone, I feel it is even more about Hannah. This was the first of the trilogy that I have read. I would like to read the two previous ones.

Boone is the third book in the Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas series by Emily March. While this is part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone novel—a lovely story full of loss, hope, and finding love. The characters are well-written with captivating backstories; I was drawn in from the beginning and could not stop reading. March has a writing style that makes it easy to get lost in the story. I can't wait to read the next book in the Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas series.

I just love Boone. He decides what he wants and he goes for it. When he spots Hannah standing on Lovers Leap, he thinks that she looks like she is ready to jump and he can't let that happen. He brings her home and gives her a safe place to stay. He knows she is running from heartache because he has been there himself. She is in a very dark place and needs to dig herself out. With the help of Celeste and Boone, she starts to feel like she wants to be among the living. When Boone adopts a little girl, it is hard for her to interact with the baby, but it helps her come back from her dark place. Can she come all the way back? Will she stay in Eternity Springs and let Boone love her?

This story is part of a larger group of books by Emily March, but also the third book in a mini trilogy in the same group of books about three cousins, Boone, Tucker and Jackson. This one is Boone's story. He is living in the small mountain town of Eternity Springs, hiding out from events in his past that have caused him some major trauma, trying to heal. He meets Hannah, another troubled soul, and decides to try and "bring some light" into her life by being a good friend. They both have very troubled pasts, with lots of heartache. Their story is sweet and inspiring. Friendship, family and love can get you through some pretty tough struggles. I enjoyed their story very much!!

4 Star Review of Boone: Eternity Springs: The McBrides Of Texas by Emily March
 
Emily March is a relatively new author to me. It can be read as a stand alone, but I do wonder if you would get a deeper appreciation if you were to read other books in the series first.
 
Boone McBride is a man who I fell hard and fast for ; a totally swoon worthy character that ticked the boxes for me. Having settled in Eternity Springs he was slowly but surely built a life for himself. When he meets Hannah Dupree he can see the pain and heartache in her eyes and is determined to help her, what he doesn’t count on is falling in love with her.

With Boone refusing to take no for an answer, he slowly but surely brings Hannah back to life. However what happens when the past comes back to confront them? Willis bring them together or rip them apart?

I love small town romances and this is a sweet, romantic, heartwarming, love story with characters that you cannot help but fall for and which I enjoyed.

Right from the very first pages I was hooked into Boone, and once hooked I was in it all the way through to the end. Of course Boone McBride is a great character and is just the kind of person that fits into Eternity Springs. And... this book is set mostly in Eternity Springs which is  a place with so many well-beloved characters, including Celeste of course. 

There is mystery that surrounds Hannah, she is a lovely person but so deeply troubled. Unbeknown to her she has landed in the perfect place, is about to meet a man - Boone who very soon is keen to have her stay on, and Celeste is going to have a finger in the pie of Hannah's life.

The plot is great, I loved the various twists and turns, there was always something about to happen that had me turning the pages. 

While this book is part of a series that has a long line of characters, it is easily a stand alone book too. Although those who love these books get that added satisfaction of getting glimpses of some of their beloved characters from previous books. This book was so good it made me want to reread the whole series all over again!

I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. What a rollercoaster of emotions. Boone and Hannah find each other and start to heal from past tragedies. I have not read the other books in the series. but I sure will now. Well done Emily March.

Hannah arrives in Eternity Springs when she is feeling at her lowest point. Eternity Springs works its magic when Boone is encouraged to be a light to someone. Hannah and Boone help each other heal from their losses. I loved it! I received an ARC from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for my honest review.

Everything seems to believe that the couple was destined to meet each other. Both had deep pains and needed to make major changes - physical and emotional - to continue living.
Boone was the man who had the perfect life, but few people knew what he had to deal with to grow as a person.
Hannah suffered in life one of the biggest losses for a mother, and she blamed herself daily for it.
At the meeting, a chance for surrender and healing, and, above all, love.

This book was so good! It was a fast read for me, because once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I think this was my favorite book of the series. This book can be read as a stand alone. An absolute joy to read! Thank you St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Boone McBride is a smooth-talking lawyer that got his world turned inside out, leading him to return to Eternity Springs, Colorado. Being there allowed him to heal, and now he's trying to pay it forward to Hannah Dupree, who is grieving incredible losses of her own. Boone and Hannah are drawn to each other, not just because of their difficult pasts, but because of their attraction and growing desire. Ghosts from the past still loom large, and only together can they move forward.

Boone is the eighteenth Eternity Springs novel and the third McBride of Texas novel, following Jackson (read my review) and Tucker (read my review), the other two McBride cousins. Other Eternity Springs novels have been reviewed on Girl Who Reads as well. References are made to them, but it's not necessary to have read them all. Any references are explained enough for a new reader to jump in feet first.

Hannah and Boone's meet-cute isn't exactly cute, as Hannah is leaning far too close to a guard rail and looks about ready to jump. Boone is a chatty fellow, drawing her into the town and gradually coaxing out the story of her losses and the guilt that had shrouded her for the past three years. Boone has his own guilt and losses, which helps him understand what she's going through. At no time does he push her faster than she's willing to go, though once she commits to him, she falls just as fast as he does.

Mentions of child death, abuse, suicide, adoption, and the legal system are mentioned all throughout the book if these are topics that can bother the reader. Nothing is explained in any detail, just that a young girl was badly abused and Boone was guilty about not being able to bring the abuser to justice. This was the final straw after his other losses that had him leaving Texas for Colorado. The topics are treated respectfully, and none of these painful topics are brushed aside as secondary to the romance. If anything, it serves as a bonding experience for them. It's a mature kind of romance, a second chance for both of them to begin living again. With the kind of year that we've all had, we can all use a message like this.

This was a sweet story. Boone's life is about to change drastically. While preparing for the upcoming changes, he meets Hannah. Both have had horrible tragedies in their past. The book was so full of heart that it left me feeling so good! I haven't read the other books in this series, but this story was completely standalone so it wasn't required. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh my.... I cried so much reading this book but I also laughed. Ms March sure knows how to tell a story. I love eternity springs and redemption canyon and all the people seem amazing I only wish I could find somebody like Celeste to be my guardian angel she has such wonderful advice and even though I’m not a fan of motorcycles her sounds pretty cool. Her cousin seems pretty awesome as well probably a little bit more my style still an angel but more colorful. I feel like I have been rooting for boon to get his wings forever. I definitely recommend this book.
