I love all of these Echo Ridge Romances! I love the little town of Echo Ridge. It's the kind of place where everyone knows everyone and they all help each other out as best as they can.
The characters in this one are fabulous. I really liked Ashley. I could totally understand her point of view. Her husband had cheated on her and left her with two little boys to take care of. Her ex-husband also expects her to jump through all kinds of unreasonable hoops. She works hard to take care of her kids, even taking the boys with her to her job. When Scott needs some additional help with his business finances, she jumps at the chance to earn a bit of extra money.
Scott is just trying to keep his family business afloat, but he has more office work than he'd like and Ashley taking that off his hands gives him the chance to work on other aspects that he's been neglecting. It's a win win. And even more so as he starts falling in love with not only Ashley, but her two adorable boys as well. I loved the way Scott goes out of his way to do things for Ashley and her boys. He provides toys for them to play with when they're at his family business, and even takes them for a walk when they get antsy. Scott's always looking for a way to help her out.
Something that's kind of fun about the story in this book is that Ashley is her sister, Haley's, Matron of Honor and Scott is the best man of Damon, Haley's fiance. I loved the way they had multiple ways to get to know each other and plenty of time to fall in love, even though Ashley wasn't sure she ever wanted to fall in love again!
This is a cute, clean, fun romance that you won't want to put down! It's a perfect afternoon escape!

I really enjoyed this book. I really love the second chance trope and the single mom trope for some reason. 🤣 Ashley and Scott are very sweet together. You'll most likely find me reading a Heather Tullis book again soon.

This was a cute, sweet story about learning to trust & love again. Scott has been put in charge of his family’s business & is drowning in paperwork. Ashley has divorced her cheating ex & isn’t going to trust love again. She’s trying to raise her boys single handed with her ex being unreasonable & making demands. She needs to earn more than she is at her current job & agrees to help Scott with his bookkeeping.
As Ashley begins to get used to Scott, Scott starts to court her in little ways that he isn’t even aware he doing. A supper here. Fixing up a toy box for the boys. Taking them to see the animals. It all begins to creep under her guard.
I really enjoyed this take on romance. Having the kids involved gives it all a different slant. Ashley has to be as concerned for the boys as for herself. I loved the interactions between Scott & the older boy, Stockton. They touched your heart. It’s cute that not only were Ashley & Scott having to interact on the job, but also in their private lives. Ashley is the matron of honor in her sister’s wedding & Scott is the best man. Even the universe is throwing them together! Cute, quick read!

After a difficult divorce to a man who was never faithful, Ashley must decide whether she can ever trust again. After moving back to Echo Ridge with her two boys she has the opportunity to make a fresh start. And her new boss Scott may be just what she needs. But is she ready to put the past behind her and allow herself to be happy? I enjoyed this book and the theme of starting over again. I thought it was great for characters from the other Echo Ridge books to appear again in this book. I also read this book in one day.

This was a sweet and clean romance involving Ashley, who is recently divorced and has two, adorable children and Scott, who is the company president of his family's business. I really liked how easily Scott became involved with Ashley's children, Zach and Stockton. I also liked seeing Damon and Ashley's sister, Haley get married after reading their story before this one. Echo Ridge sounds like a nice place to live and Scott sounds like a keeper too! I received a copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

I enjoyed Scott and Ashley's story. I definitely relate to Ashley as I've been there and it was told in a great way. Scott was so sweet and kind the whole time with her and the boys. The way he treated the boys and how he took things slowly won me over. I'm happy to see them get their happily ever after. There were a few more errors in this book that could easily be fixed and should have been spotted but overall it didn't draw away from the book.

I really love the Characters from Echo Ridge. It was fun to catch up with them again. Whenever we are burned by someone in life it is really hard to trust anyone. That is what happens we to Ashley. But since Scott was such a great fit for her he was hard to resist. I love their chemistry and how it was just so natural for him to live her and the boys. Such a nice ending to the town of Echo Ridge.

Cute, sweet, and fun return to Echo Ridge
This was a cute, sweet, and fun return to Echo Ridge, a place I have thoroughly enjoyed! This story worked really well and it was fun to have kids involved in the journey and see that as a key factor within the relationship of the protagonists. This was sweet and clean, I'd rate it PG.

Sweet romance
I loved the characters. Ashley is strong, yet vulnerable. Scott is kind and patient. I love that we get more interaction with Haley from the previous book in this series, this book is a fun way to extend her story while focusing on Ashley‘s.

Scott and Ashely seem to bring out the best in each other. Scott is patient and kind with Ashely's kids, and with her trust issues from her previous marriage. Ashley is happy to have extra work and have her kids along side her, and even better getting to see Scott as she helps him get his office under control. Ashely's work allows Scott to work where he wants, also showing him the happiness he misses. They have a great story, and I love the small moments of other characters we've met in Echo Ridge.
