Heartland by Sarina Bowen releasing January 28, 2020

5 stars



Still waters run deep, and happy-go-lucky Dylan has some depths that make his soul ache. He made me hurt for him, and he made me laugh with him. His outer exterior isn’t an act, he really is a good guy, but he buries so much in the heart of him. Maybe that is why he isn’t at all self-aware of what his feelings really are for his best friend, Chastity

Chastity is coming out of the shelter and pain that had been her life for her first nineteen years. Raised in a cult, she never did fit in, and her thoughts were always about boys, and that got her in a lot of trouble. Two years has passed, and while she is still fighting the instincts that were repeated into her psyche, she knows one thing, she absolutely wants Dylan. Getting from A to B is as confusing to her as the calculus she struggles with, but if Dylan can help her with that, then maybe?

Two young adults away at school, but still tied to their homes. An undeniable attraction that feels as right in their hearts as it does wrong in their heads. A sweet business venture to join them, and a cast of family and friends to help, or hinder, them out. I loved Dylan and Chastity for their joie du vive, their confusion and determination, and for their simple love of all things of home and heart

Of course, no True North Series book is complete without Griff being his wondrous self, and his glorious wife pointing it out, which she does so perfectly in our epilogue  - “Any time, you big grump.” Audrey hugs him from behind. “Now dance with me.” <3
