The way I screamed when NG & RH approved my request for Change of Hart!!!

I tore through the series, intending to read Change of Hart closer to release date, but I started Wells Ranch and couldn't stop. Having read all three one right after the other, I can tell you with 100% certainty that DenverBlair are my faves. I love them so bad, and genuinely I'm so picky about second chance romances!!!

I truly adore the way Bailey writes, from her voice to the intricacies she weaves into her stories.

Thank you to Random House Publishing Group & Bailey Hannah for trusting me with this ARC.

I feel so, so fortunate to have gotten the chance to ARC read this one. With Seeing Red having been the cowboy romance that started it all for me, Wells Canyon has always had a special place in my heart and getting to read Change of Hart while the author is getting the series traditionally published feels so incredible.

I have a bit of a soft spot for jokester-type MMCs - something about men letting their inner child out (in a good way) is just really wholesome to me and we got to see that in Denver Wells for sure. And Blair, my heart, is the oldest daughter stereotype to a tee and I could really feel for her and relate to her. I needed BOTH of them to get a break - Blair needed a break from having to juggle a million things and Denver needed a break from being slut shamed so much tbh. But between the two of them (& the hot, hot, hot) smut, I personally was being ASSAULTED with bi panic.

The story is told a bit dual-timeline-y so we get to see the Blair and Denver of today (distant, heartbroken, islands of people) in direct contrast of the 13-18 year olds they were while they were falling in love (and apart.) I think telling their story that way let us feel a bit like we were insiders to the relationship like those closest to them were, and were going "How the heck did this childhood sweetheart love story that I would've bet my last dollar would be endgame turn into two people who can barely be in the same room together?" It was definitely a rewarding journey watching them find their way back to being the love-sick teens under the tree again.

I love a good cowboy story, so I took a chance on this one even though I had not read anything by Bailey Hannah before. I'm so glad I did! Change of Hart was full of tension and drew me in right from the start. I absolutely loved it!

My favorite book from Bailey Hannah yet! It mastered the tension while still building on so much shared history. I adored Blair and her story.
I’ve never really enjoyed flashbacks in romance books but I think these were done very well. They really made it clear that Denny and Blair were meant to be while still allowing the current timeline to stand on its own and show us their reconciliation.
This book also packs a serious emotional punch. As someone who has experience caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s Disease, I really appreciated how this book handled the topic.

I loved Change of Hart! I adored the characters, and getting to see their depth as the story progressed. I loved the snippets of going back in time, and I thought the reason for the original breakup, since this is a second chance story, was very believable and spot on for their situation. I also loved getting to return to Wells Ranch and hear more about some of my favorite characters. I waited for what felt like forever for Denny & Blair’s story and it was so worth the wait!

4.75⭐️ 3🌶️

Bailey you’ve done it again! I absolutely devoured this! Blair was so freaking relatable. I could feel her struggles and pain. The grief throughout this book had me crying so many times for Blair and Denver. Denver is so sweet, and funny. The way he calls her bear and is always there for her melts my heart! I’m not always big into second chance romances but you won me over with this one! I can’t wait to see what you write next.

THIS BOOK!

Bailey Hannah does it again! Her writing is always so refreshing and fantastic! The storyline was unique (which is rare for someone who read 200+ romance books last year), it tackled some tough topics, anddddd the characters were still so lovable! Also — never thought I’d love a “good boy” but here we are!

Blair + Denny 4ever

Check trigger warnings on this one because it carries a lot of heavy topics.

THIS BOOK! This series actually, but especially this book! Denver Wells is on another level, this rugged cowboy and his heat of gold was everything, this will be hard to top!

I love a second chance romance, Blair coming by back to Wells Ranch gave me so many feelings. The dual timeline gave me all the feels, made for such an emotional journey. There are some difficult topics discussed, so please check triggers!

Bailey has once again proven why she’s one of my all-time favorite authors. Change of Hart is a beautifully written second-chance romance filled with angst, emotion, and undeniable chemistry. Set in the heart of Wells Ranch, this story pulled me in from the very first page and never let go.

The dual POV and dual timeline were executed flawlessly, allowing us to witness Blair and Denver’s love story unfold both in the past and present. As childhood sweethearts, they were each other’s rock through life’s challenges. Now, 14 years after their painful breakup, Blair’s return to Wells Canyon forces them to confront old wounds and lingering feelings.

Denver is the ultimate cinnamon roll hero—determined, patient, and absolutely devoted to Blair. From the moment they reunite (in the most memorable way possible), he is all in, proving to her that he’s not the reckless boy she once knew. His unwavering love and support for Blair made my heart melt. And let’s not forget that scene—Blair taking charge and Denver willingly following? Absolutely iconic. The spice was perfectly balanced with raw, emotional depth, making their connection feel even more intense.

Bailey also handles the book’s heavier themes with grace, adding layers to Blair and Denver’s journey of healing and rediscovery. This isn’t just a love story—it’s about finding your way back to the person who has always felt like home. The supporting cast, especially the girl gang, added warmth and humor, making the world of Wells Ranch feel even more alive.

If you love second chances, emotional depth, and swoon-worthy cowboys, Change of Hart is a must-read. Bailey has outdone herself with this heartfelt, beautifully crafted story, making it one of the strongest installments in the series. Grab your tissues and clear your schedule—this one will stay with you long after the final page.

The absolute CHOKEHOLD this book has on me and will have on me forever. As an eldest daughter, I couldn’t help but see myself in Blair and my gosh was that rough. The amount of love Denny showed to win Blair back would’ve had me folded in a SECOND so I’m unsure how she pushed away his advances for as long as she did. Overall this book has so much heart and depth and I cannot wait to see what Bailey does with the rest of the series!

bailey you were right. this book and denny wells is for the eldest daughter who’s never asked for help. ever. we don’t need help but it would be nice to have it. everything denny did to win back blair would have me on my knees, actually. he knew her so well even after a decade and a half apart. i loved being back in wells canyon. and they just keep getting better and better.

this book covers grief, anxiety, depression, and so many heavy topics while also being witty and romantic. bailey hannah you’re high in the ranking of my queen of small town romances with this one. keep it up.

thank you net galley for this arc! and thanks bailey for seeing the eldest daughter and giving her some love.

This book pulled me in from start to finish, Bailey Hannah is quickly on her way to becoming an auto-by author for me.

I'm a sucker for a swoon-worthy small town romance and the author really exceeded my expectations with this one. I loved reading Blair and Denver's story, I think it's probably my favorite book in the series so far.

It was as emotional as it was heartwarming, I really appreciated being able to see the main characters story through told through flashbacks. It gave great insight as to how far their relationship progressed from the start to the present. Dual POVs and Dual timelines (past & present) are two things I really enjoy in a book.

I will absolutely be recommending this book and can't wait to pick up a copy for myself when it's released!

Thank you Bailey Hannah, Net Galley and Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine | Dell for providing me with an ARC of this book! All opinions in this review are my own.

Change of Hart is a second chance romance between Denver and Blair, childhood friends to lovers. Blair moves away for school and returns home nearly 15 years later to help her family, and she's dreading reuniting with her ex, Denver. Overall, I enjoyed this story. It is the third in a series, but it can be read alone. This might be one of the most standalone series books I've read. The characters from past books are mentioned often, but you don't need to know anything about their stories to understand what's happening in this book. I really enjoyed how much Denver was willing to do to show Blair that he has grown up and doesn't want to lose her a second time. Blair was hard for me because I feel like she flopped too easily, and she went from wanting to take it day by day to being ready for marriage super quickly. There were also parts of dialogue that were repetitive. Despite those things, though, the relationship between Blair and her mother made me tear up toward the end. Denver and Blair are a very sweet couple, and I did end up enjoying this second chance romance. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the other two books in this series.

Bailey Hannah has truly impressed me with her latest masterpiece, "Change of Heart"! Every one of her books is a gem, but this one really takes the cake! From the very first page, I was captivated. The dual timeline kept me on the edge of my seat, skillfully weaving together the past and present in a breathtaking manner. I laughed out loud and found myself wiping away tears—it was an emotional rollercoaster! This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys cowboys, second-chance romances, emotional healing, dual timelines, and heartfelt stories!

Bailey is, without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite authors, and this book is a shining example of why. Her ability to pull readers fully into a story is unmatched. Change of Hart is a second-chance romance packed with angst, emotion, chemistry, and so much heart. Alternating between past and present, we follow Blair and Denver (Denny), childhood sweethearts who reunite 14 years after a heart-wrenching breakup. And let me tell you—I didn’t know how badly I needed to return to Wells Ranch until I was back in it.

The dual POV and dual timeline were chef's kiss. Getting to experience young love turn into something deeper and more consuming as adults was everything. Blair and Denny’s connection is the kind that never really fades. As teens, they were each other's backbone through loss, family struggles, and big life changes. As adults, they’re trying to make sense of that history while figuring out who they are now—and if they can be who the other needs.

Blair’s return to Wells Canyon to help her family forces her to confront the place—and the boy—she’s been running from. She’s guarded, and rightfully so. Denver has a reputation, one that Blair’s painfully aware of. But he’s determined. From the moment he sees her again (literally falling off a horse, no less), he is all in. Watching him show up for her, be patient, and prove that he’s not the same man he was at 18? Absolutely swoon-worthy. He’s the ultimate cinnamon roll—warm, gooey, and persistent in the softest, most tender way.

And okay, can we talk about that scene? BLAIR SAYING “GOOD BOY” AND MAKING DENNY CRAWL? I ascended. I sat up straight in bed and told everyone to shut up so I could read in peace. The spice? Immaculate. The emotion? Devastating in the best way. There were tears streaming down my face at one point and I didn’t even notice because it just felt like part of the experience.

Bailey handled the heavier themes in this book with such delicacy, giving depth and weight to Blair and Denver’s story. This was about healing, about choosing your person again after everything has fallen apart, and about learning to feel again—fully and without fear. The way Denver supported Blair, remembered what made her smile, and carried some of her emotional load? That is how you write a love story.

The supporting cast (especially the girl gang) added so much warmth and vibrancy, and getting a peek into the elder Wells—Bennett and Lucy—was such a treat. Honestly, this book was the perfect addition to an already flawless cowboy romance series. Bailey’s writing just keeps getting better and better, and this might be my favorite installment yet.

If you love second chances, dual timelines, emotional healing, and cowboys with big hearts, then this is the book for you. Grab tissues, clear your schedule, and get ready to fall in love all over again. May 27th—mark it down and RUN to your bookstore. Bailey knocked it out of the park. Again. 🫶🏻

Big thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for a free copy of Change of Hart in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a great second chance book. Bailey never disappoints and this book is no exception. I really enjoyed the dual timeline to help with the buildup of what happened in the past!

The best kind of second chance romance is in these pages in this book. A beautifully written story that hits all the feels. I'm thoroughly impressed with this. I mean this author sure hit the mark on writing this, taking care to write it in a way that gives the attention that is needed to address the topics within. Absolutely loved reading.

Perfect steamy second chance romance and third book in the series. Denver and Blair come full circle! Review the list of trigger warnings before reading!

4.5 stars!!!

I absolutely adored this second chance cowboy romance. The flashbacks to the beginning of our couple’s relationship were so adorable and I just loved getting to see their relationship in its entirety. The relationship between the MMC and his mom ughhhh that broke me💔

I will say the last little 20% dragged for me and I’m not sure if some of that was totally needed, but overall I absolutely loved this!

Well, Bailey Hannah has done it again with this one! Denver and Blair have my whole heart and I love them so much.

Blair Hart is such a strong woman and a hard worker; I admire her so much and wish I could be as amazing as she is. She’s had some struggles, and I can relate to a lot of them since they were mental health struggles, but she was still so amazing and willing to work to get her mental health in check. I admired her willingness to move back to Wells Canyon even though it was hard for her because she wanted to help her family. It was also amazing to see her work through her feelings for Denver during this story. They had a tumultuous history and seeing them work through it together and separately was great because it meant that they could work their way back to each other, too.

Denver Wells has always hidden behind humor because of his history of heartbreak related to Blair and her leaving Wells Canyon, but it was nice to watch him grow in this story and learn that his humor didn’t have to be a mask anymore. Denver was such a great guy and it was amazing to watch him immediately accept Blair back into his life when she came back and work hard to earn her trust and love again. It was also great that he accepted her mental health struggles without a second thought, and then helped her with it when she needed it. Denver was ready and willing to prove to Blair that she could lean on him and ask him for help when she needed it, and it took some time, but Denver never stopped trying throughout this book and I admire his tenacity and effort.

I appreciated how powerful this storyline was, but it had a softness about it, too. It pulled on my heartstrings in such a unique way, especially with Blair’s mental health struggles. I related to her a lot, but it was also amazing to watch her learn to work through them and lean on Denver when she had too much to carry. This was such an amazing example of a second chance romance and I admired both Blair and Denver in how hard they worked together and separately to find their way back to each other and earn each other back since they both felt like they made mistakes in the past with their relationship. Seeing Blair and Denver come back to what they had when they were young was beautiful and gave me all the feels!

I loved this story so much and I loved Blair and Denver even more! They were amazing and perfect for each other and it made me so happy watching them find their way back to each other. I can’t wait to see what Bailey has in store for us next at Wells Ranch!
