We are in Eternity Springs again this time with Boone. Boone is trying to over come his heartache and make a new life for himself. Hanna has been running away from her life and facing her own heartache. These two meet and the family and friends can’t help but intervene to make sure these two come together. A beautiful story so well written that you feel you are right there facing all the emotions. This is defiantly a must read.

3.5/5 Stars

** I was provided an E-ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review**

The first thing I will say is that I haven't read the first few books in this series so I don't know if me reading them or not would affect my enjoyment. That all being said I did enjoy reading this book. It felt very real and honestly made me want to visit Eternal Springs for a vacation, it sounds beautiful. The story was very emotional, I felt for both of the main characters here, they went through so much. This all just made it feel very realistic. Overall a very moving but enjoyable story. I would recommend if you want something more contemporary than romance.

I think that I liked this book even better than the last one (about Tucker)! This story is so heartwarming and really a much-needed panacea with all that is going on right now. Boone and Hannah have both suffered monumental losses and are at different stages of the grieving process. Their meeting can't be called a meet-cute but from the moment that they do meet, they treat each other so well, with no crazy mix-ups or misunderstandings. The whole town of Eternity Springs is magical and I enjoyed reading more about some of its inhabitants. I really liked Boone-he was a fun alpha male without seeming bossy or overconfident. This book is the third in a series but could be read as a standalone. (Although you may get a little confused with the fictional geographical areas in this book-I did with the last one. Many of them have similar names.)
Thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

Title: Boone
Author: Emily March
Genre: Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

With his smooth talk, rugged good looks, and deep pockets, native Texan Boone McBride appears to be a man who has it all. Few people know about the heartbreak behind his decision to leave home, family, and career for the isolation of a small town in the Colorado Rockies. Luckily, time and life in Eternity Springs has worked its healing magic upon his wounded soul, so when he meets obviously troubled Hannah Dupree, Boone sees a chance to pay his good fortune forward. The last thing he anticipates is tumbling into love.

Tragedy has taken everything Hannah loves, and her will to keep going is failing. So when Boone strides into her life determined to save her, it’s easier to go along with him than to resist. Soon she is drawn into the fabric of life in Eternity Springs, and as her spirit begins to heal, her strength returns, and she’s able to go toe-to-toe with this hardheaded, big-hearted Texan. But just when love blooms and happiness is within their grasp, shadows from the past threaten. Hannah and Boone must stand strong and united in order to defeat old ghosts—if they are to create a brand-new life together.

I have to be honest: Boone himself seems way too good to be true to be believable. That was my overriding thought when reading this: Yeah, he’s not real. I enjoyed the read, as I’ve enjoyed the other McBrides books, and I loved reading about the town and community. Poor Hannah has been through something truly horrible, but I enjoyed her struggle to finally heal and get past it. This was a solid, enjoyable read—and a quick one.

Emily March is a bestselling author. Boone is here newest novel.

A lovely story about two wounded people who save each other. Boone, an attorney who worked with abused children has had enough and moves to Eternity Springs, Colorado. Hannah, who had a huge loss, is drifting through and when Boone spots her- she's poised at the edge of a cliff. March doesn't tell you their back stories right away. She has, however, written terrific believable characters not only in Boone and Hannah but also in Celeste, who challenges Boone to be his best. Don't work if you haven't read the earlier books- this is fine as a standalone. It's a big hearted novel where you might guess the ending (it's an HEA) but you will totally enjoy the journey. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC. One to make you smile.

This is the first book I have read by Emily March. It was so good it felt real. It talks about a woman finding love again,after going through a tragic event in her life. I loved Boone, he was so kind , loving, and funny. I have no complaints about this book. In fact, I think i need to read the other books about the Mcbride family. I am so grateful that netgalley let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

After several tries reading Emily March, I think I will need to give up. While I appreciate her huge fan base, I just don't enjoy her books as much as I probably should. Her writing is good, but it's like I enjoy the start of the book but by the end I'm left dissatisfied. I'm giving it three stars, because it genuinely was a good story, just not a very believable one in my mind. I think a lot of the issues hit too close to home, preventing full enjoyment for me.

There are some really heavy elements in this story - suicide, infertility, adoption, etc.. Most were handled well, but the suicide issue should have been handled a bit more delicately than it was. In particular, I feel like the suicidal state of the heroine was glossed over. The first time we're really meeting her, she begins to contemplate suicide, and all of a sudden, a handsome stranger swoops in and she's just fine after a few weeks in his company? I think it's extremely difficult to write a romance with a character who is depressed and suicidal, because how can they really have a romantic connection when their mind is in that place where death seems preferable to all other options? I really enjoyed Boone's character, at first, but honestly, the man is not a miracle worker. Hannah was a wreck, but very quickly she was smiley, ready to help, and the early mention of her needing drugs to get through her depression all of a sudden became a non-issue. I didn't see a lot of healing, it was more like one day she was suicidal and the next she was fine. Sure, some of her issues came up as she handled helping with the baby, but she was way more put together than I would have expected.

I also didn't like the progression of Boone's character. He was great in the beginning - he clearly empathized with Hannah and had been hurt in the past, and he never lost his generosity of spirit.I loved how he was with the prospect of having a baby at first, and his handling of the surprise was well done, but he treated the whole parenting thing like it wasn't that big of a deal. He just threw money at every obstacle he came across, and the author wouldn't stop pointing out how ridiculously wealthy he was - a Maserati, a Ducati motorcycle, his Luchesse boots, and a private jet. So when he gets a baby, he immediately needs a nanny, even though he doesn't seem to work all that often. Then he decides it's a great time to also get a puppy, and very quickly needs a nanny for the DOG. He's extremely impulsive and came across as a bit immature after a while. Take care of things yourself, sir. Step up.

Unfortunately, this is probably just a case of a reader-author mismatch.

This story offers great inspiration and hope especially during these times. This author knows how to capture the heart of the reader without pushing an agenda. Boone is a handsome and ideal leading man. He is a gentleman who is witty and also has a sense of humor. He has also faced tragedy. Hannah is beautiful and tragic. Watching their romance unfold is like watching the night turn to day and seeing a beautiful sunrise. This series has been filled with just great characters that has been a delight to get to know. Watching them get their happy ending has been great.

I requested and received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

I read and enjoyed the book before this one (Tucker) and was eager to see how this one measured up to it. Despite the fact that I was amazed at how much money Boone seemed to have with no real explanation for how he got such deep pockets, I think the author did a good job of weaving the stories of the characters together. Holly was a stranger that Boone happened upon - who would’ve guessed that they were meant to meet and support each other through all of life’s ups and downs. I enjoyed how this story plays out.

I would’ve liked to have the story line about the adoption being contested a little more - I think it was made a major issue in one chapter but then not mentioned again - save a brief sentence in the epilogue.

Beautiful story, touched my heart in so many ways.
Hannah has been roaming the country for three years, barely living after a tragic event took her family away. She doesn't know how to exist anymore, and is ready to end it all. She chooses a place randomly to drive to, and while she is there she meets Boone.
Boone sees in Hannah the despair he had seen so often in himself not so many years ago. Knowing she needs his help, Boone offers her a place to stay to try to heal. What she wasn't expecting, and doesn't know if she can handle is the additions to Boone's family that he suddenly thrusts in her path. WIth lots of patience, friendship, love and tears, Hannah's broken heart starts to heal.
Love the characters and Boone and Hannah's story was beautiful.
I received an advance copy of this story in exchange for my honest review.

I have enjoyed all of the books in the Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas series, but I have to say that Boone is my favorite. There was something about these characters and their story that just pulled me in and I didn't want to put the book down.

Boone McBride has known heartbreak and tragedy. He's moved to Colorado to try to escape that heartache and has been able to create a pretty good life for himself. He's still missing the family he thought he would have by now, but he continues to soldier on with his life in the Rockies.

Hannah Dupree has been drifting for the past three years when the unimaginable happened to her and she lost everything she felt she had to live for. Now, she's struggling to go on and is wondering if ending it all might not be the better way to go. She finds her way to the outskirts of Eternity Springs and ends up encountering Boone.

As Hannah and Boone begin to get to know one another, they are able to commiserate due to the heartache they have both endured, which causes sparks to begin flying between them. With the healing vibes that Eternity Springs seems to harbor, along with the strength and safety that Boone provides, Hannah begins to live again instead of being stuck in neutral. Will these two be able to help one another find love again?

I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of all three of the McBride cousins. Their relationships with one another, along with all of the townspeople in Eternity Springs made the story that much richer. Both Boone and Hannah endured so much that I was glad they had one another to lean on and to heal with. I look forward to future books Emily March has to offer.

✨😎✨A big thank you to Emily March, St. Martin’s Press (St. Martin’s Paperbacks) and NetGalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed in my review are my own.

When Boone first meets Hannah, he thinks she is going to jump to her demise. Whether she would or not, their meeting changes both of their lives. Hannah is just surviving but when Celeste and the rest of Eternity Springs get involved, Hannah doesn’t stand a chance. Boone has many big changes coming. Will Hannah be the woman to be included in his life or will she not be ready to face her demons? This was one of my favorite books by Emily March! I think that every time and then when the next book comes out, she has outdone herself!

Boone and Hannah's story is a sweetly poignant tale of loss and grief and letting go and finding love again. I could not put it down! I love that it incorporates Eternity Springs and Redemption, the McBrides, and all the Eternity Springs characters. I just love this series!

BOONE is about waking up from a three year long nightmare and finding that there were no goals or expectations in your future. For Hannah she thought it meant the end of her life. She had rambled around, traveling from one spot to another, never landing anywhere. That is until she wound up in Eternity Springs. Hannah’s introduction to Boone wasn’t ideal, in fact, Boone had actually saved Hannah from her goal of giving up the fight for any kind of life without her two young daughters.
Hannah’s once ideal life had come to a bitter and tragic end. As we read BOONE we have glimpses into her tragedy but until Hannah comes to terms with her past we are left adrift much as she is.
What we know about Hannah is connected to her thoughts about a husband and two daughters that didn’t survive an accident. Emily March builds up to the revelation about the events that forever changed Hannah’s life and colored her future as well.
Boone is a great guy. Simply said he is good to family and friend alike. So it isn’t any wonder that he can’t help but be concerned about this woman he happens on. Boone’s life is also going to take on some responsibilities that he never bet on. He is going to adopt a baby. Not his, but that of a young girl he had tried to help. Boone is a lawyer that had worked with child abuse cases.
Eternity Springs is a kind of idyllic place where people come to heal. Hannah doesn’t know it but perhaps fate brought her to a town where she just might find some future. What Hannah desperately needs is a light at the end of her very dark tunnel.
Emily March is a brilliant creator of characters that are tough as nails and vulnerable to boot. Seems like an unlikely combination of qualities but then again people are complicated. So in BOONE Emily March once again flexes her writing muscles and develops some really amazing characters.

Boone by Emily March is the 3rd book in her McBrides of Texas trilogy. Boone McBride is our hero in this final book of this trilogy, with his cousins having had their story in the previous two books. Boone has come a long way from his troubled past, and seems to be content in Eternity Springs, working as a lawyer in a calmer small town atmosphere. One day, while riding his motorcycle, he sees a woman looking over a cliff, and walks to where she is to break her possible intent; as he talks to her, Boone recognizes the signs of someone deep in depression.

Hannah Dupree, our heroine, has been travelling for 3 years, still coping with the tragic deaths of her two young girls; deciding perhaps to stay in this quiet small town of Eternity Springs for a while. When she meets a strange handsome man, she becomes concerned that perhaps he is looking to jump off the cliff, which she has no idea he was there for her. Boone befriends Hannah and convinces her to stay at a cabin by his house, which begins a slow process of both of them learning to cope with their own tragic past, and opening up their hearts to finding the light to love and happiness. It was such a delight to watch Boone and Hannah get past the difficult losses and to have a second chance, as they were a great couple.

Boone decides to adopt a baby, since the mother could not handle this, and begged Boone (who helped her from an abusive family member, when he lived in Texas), since she trusted only him. Boone knew he was falling hard for Hannah, and accepted that she needed more time to move on, as she was still was very emotional. The town of Eternity Springs, Boone’s family, and new friends slowly begin to heal Hannah. When Boone tells her about the baby, he asked Hannah to help, but at first, she said no, since she wasn’t sure she could take the pain of her daughters’ loss; but when she sees his desperation, she agrees to help. What I loved, that March did so well, was all the women in Eternity Spring set up a schedule that most of the woman would take a turn to be the nanny for their day, which was wonderful. Celeste was a wonderful character, who brought everything together. Nicely done.

What follows is a sweet heartwarming romance, with Boone doing everything to win over Hannah and help her to heal and open her heart to his love. Boone was a fabulous hero, who was smart, fun, sweet, patient and not to mention sexy. Hannah was great too, especially with dealing with her tragic loss, and I loved how great Boone was with her. Their romance was wonderful, and so heartwarming to see them slowly move on with their lives. I also loved the little puppy, Ranger, who brought adorable chaos into their lives.

Boone was a fun, entertaining, emotional, heartwarming, and at times sad. Despite the heartbreak for both of them, it was heartwarming to see them heal. Though this is the 18th book in Emily March’s Eternity Springs series, this trilogy concludes with Boone. Emily March once again gives us a sweet story, which I suggest you read

I received this copy from netgalley. I loved it! I am a fan of Emily March book's. I loved Boone and Hannah story! I hope there will be more to come.. I love this series by far my favorite series of Emily's. I love the character's and the cover and the setting's!!!!

I received an advanced reader's copy of Boone by Emily March.

I loved the characters in this book. Hannah and Boone both had tragic events in their past that they had to overcome. This story shows how the support and love from a community can heal old wounds. There were appearances by some of my favorite characters from the previous books in this series.

I love the small town setting and how everyone is welcoming and willing to help others.

This story ends on a feel good note and is a satisfying end for the McBrides of Texas trilogy.

Boone (Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas #3) by Emily March. This was my first Emily March book but it will not be my last. The characters are all lovable and the story will suck you in and grab hold of your heart til the end. Although this book works fine as a stand alone, I enjoyed it so much I want to read the first two books in the trilogy. Even though this is a story with much loss, it is much more a story full of love and hope. The only negative is I felt the story left us hanging with the grandparents law suit story line. It is mentioned once then never again. There is one line about a grandmothers’ presence but since Boone’s mother is also a grandmother there is no clear distinction. It would have been clearer to the reader if it had at least read “ Bri’s other grandmother” but I do think the reader deserved at least a page to clear up the whole situation or it should not have been thrown in at all.
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this book.

Wow, this was a wonderful story of helping, healing and redemption. I have read a few other stories from this series and have found all of them to be great. You can read this as a stand-alone; you don't need the backstory of the other characters; but, it is a "nice to have".
Boone Mc Bride's story of loss and feelings of regret, have made him leave a large law firm in Dallas and move to Eternity Springs Colorado and hang his own shingle. He has watched his cousins find the loves of their lives; he feels like he already had his and may have been undeserving of it. His friend, Celeste Blessing, helps him to see that there is more out there to accomplish if he would only open his heart.
Hannah Dupree has been running from her own demons for the past 3 years and finds herself in Eternity Springs with some dire thoughts. Boone McBride happens upon her and they strike up a conversation that has Hannah thinking of staying in Eternity Springs.
Their friendship blossoms amid the day-to-day and some turmoil; but, they are both hiding parts of themselves and afraid to let go of the hurt and pain. Throw a baby adoption and a puppy into the mix, and of course you have the makings of a great story.
