This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. An underwhelming second chance story. I wasn’t a fan of Lucas. Sure he had his moments but it wasn’t enough for me. Of course, that might be because I’m a Scorpio and I tend to hold onto a grudge like no one’s business.

Serious SPOiLERs....beware

Paige and Lucas were high school sweethearts that planned to get married and live in his grandpa’s house. Paige always want to travel and own a floral shop which Lucas knew.

Serious SPOiLERs....beware

Paige and Lucas were high school sweethearts that planned to get married and live in his grandpa’s house. Paige always want to travel and own a floral shop which Lucas knew. She wanted to go to a different college to earn a international business degree so she could achieve this dream. Lucas didn’t like his plans were being altered by Paige so Lucas gave her an ultimatum...either him or the different school. She didn’t want to break up. She just wanted some time to do this so she could achieve her dream. All she wanted was some time to do this. He never let her explain her plans or wants. It was pretty much his way or no way. So he dumps her because didn’t want the long distance thing and that wasn’t in the plans they originally made(personally I think he was just a fucking pussy). Anyways, he breaks up with her and of course beds several unknown chicks because that always works when you are trying to forget your supposed other half. He then meets another chick who is a supermodel (big surprise there) and dates her long term and ends up traveling all over the place with her. (Hmmm isn’t that what Paige was asking of him?!) Lucas’s grandfather dies and leaves that house to both Paige and Lucas! Now we come to the reconnection. Lucas was really a prick to Paige when they saw each other again and he never grew on me. Paige was not my favorite either but I liked her enough to wish she found someone else. She’s another heroine that loves the hero even during the 10 year separation (there’s that magic number). She at least had a couple of partners during the separation with a relationship that lasted a year but realized she couldn’t love him like the hero 🤮🤮🤢🤢 so she broke it off. There was one part where she confronted Lucas and I thought here we go, she’s gonna let him have it...but it was disappointing. I think when he went on all those trips with his model g-friend I lost all respect for him and no matter if he paved the driveway the yellow brick road and were to shit diamonds it wouldn’t have change my opinion on him. There are just some things you can’t come back from. So I really wish i could have ordered her a new hero because she deserved that at least. Oh yeah...of course he didn’t love Bianca (supermodel)...he was just with her because she was the opposite of the h and he knew he would never marry her (total cop out and once again H is a fucking pussy)

However, others appeared to have loved this story so maybe it’s just me🤷🏻‍♀️

“This kiss said a million unspoken things.”

Divided Interests is the third book in Southern Bride Series and follows the story of Paige and Lucas. Once upon a time, Paige and Lucas had the love and relationship that people dream of. But, when Paige wants to spread her wings and explore the world, she ends up getting her heart broken. Years later, a death in the family will reunite these former lovers. Paige and Lucas don’t want to be around each other, but fate has other plans. When Paige and Lucas are left a house, all Paige wants to do is restore it its former glory, while Lucas wants nothing more than to buy Paige out and sell the house. However, being in this old house brings back memories that neither one of them is eager to remember. It’s stirring up feelings that have been long forgotten. Will Paige and Lucas find their way back to one another? Or will the past be too hard to move on from?? There’s only one way to find out….

Divided Interests is a fantastic second romance with an enemies to lovers vibe. I loved the idea of these two former lovers becoming owners of the house they once loved. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with this scenario? I loved the push and pull and how the chemistry was still there, maybe even stronger than ever. Lucas is ashamed of the decisions he made in the past, but is letting his ego get in the way. He’s afraid of what will happen if he admits he was wrong. And then we have Paige. All Paige has ever wanted is Lucas. But, when Lucas broke her heart all those years ago, she was never able to heal. She was living life in a stand still. So, when fate threw these two back together, I couldn’t wait to see how their story would play out. I loved the emotions that this story pulled out of me and how it left me begging for more.

Overall, I found this book to be a very enjoyable read. The plot was fun and entertaining. I loved how Lucas and Paige were thrown together. I loved the will they/won’t they moments. I enjoyed the scavenger hunt that Lucas’ grandfather had them on. I loved the mystery that also surrounded the story. There was some drama, but thankfully, nothing over the top. It had the perfect balance of everything that I was looking for.

Divided Interests was a terrific story from beginning to end and I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in Lucas & Paige’s story.

This story was better than the last two BUT this is the one where I didn’t 100% loved the H. I mean he had his moments but like what he did to Paige was pretty stupid. The extra .5 star here is because I actually enjoyed this one more. The story wasn’t that dragged and actually had a plot. It was fine, I would’ve loved knowing the story about how they met or some stuff from when they were dating as teenagers, though.

Lucas and paige, swoonworth, hot, funny, serious, to name but a few things about them.

I giggled along with them, sighed with them and cried with them But absolutely loved their story.

They were high school sweethearts,
who both then moved on from each other (unwillingly!) they had been apart for 10 years, and were brought back together by the sad loss of their meddling grandfather William, he was a bit of a prankster, or so it seemed, but he was a true romantic at heart.

The blurb to Divided Interests instantly caught my attention. The idea of the hero and heroine attempting to share a home when they haven’t seen each other for over a decade, have differing thoughts on what to do with the house, as well as have unfinished business from over a decade ago all factor in to the angst and the heighten emotions that seem to stifle the scenes when Paige Miller and Lucas Foster are in the same room as well as offer quite a bit of comic relief given the way these two ban The blurb to Divided Interests instantly caught my attention. The idea of the hero and heroine attempting to share a home when they haven’t seen each other for over a decade, have differing thoughts on what to do with the house, as well as have unfinished business from over a decade ago all factor in to the angst and the heighten emotions that seem to stifle the scenes when Paige Miller and Lucas Foster are in the same room as well as offer quite a bit of comic relief given the way these two banter and push each other’s buttons.

Lucas is a hero who will grow on readers; he won’t be everyone’s favorite because of his actions in the past and his inability, early on, to admit that he was the one in the wrong and that his choices didn’t only affect him, but those closest to him, one of them being Paige. By the time readers get to the final pages of the story, they will see just how much Lucas has changed and just how much he wants his world to include Paige each and every day.

I adored Paige from the start. There’s a resilience inside of her that keeps pushing her forward regardless of the obstacles. She won’t be bullied by Lucas and even though being around him brings up heart aching memories, she refuses to give in to what Lucas wants when it comes to the house they both have a stake in and to watch the push and pull between these two from their very first exchange proves quite well that they shouldn’t allow this second chance to pass them by, not without fighting for what they’ve always wanted, even while apart, each other.

Like always, Elliott ensures that the secondary characters play a pivotal role in the story line and in the hero and heroine’s words and actions. Their family and friends add such a great dynamic to the book and provide Lucas and Paige with the support as well as the tough love, for lack of a better term, that they use to get these two stubborn people to realize that they’re so much better working as a team than working against one another.

Lucas and Paige’s story is the perfect combination of Kelly Elliott’s emotional and captivating storytelling and all of the qualities of a second chance romance that I love. And the fact that fate intervened and gave Paige and Lucas the push that they both needed illustrates that a house divided doesn’t have to remain that way, especially when it’s clear that they were destined to find their way back to Johnson City, Texas, and each other.

Small town in Texas, two people that have known each other since kids, and a few stupid mistakes. Can they make it back together and fall back in love??? Kelly has done it again with her small town romances. I enjoyed reading about Paige and Lucas. I didn't really care for Lucas in the beginning but he redeemed himself. I loved how Paige told Lucas how it is, she didn't back down. Interesting little bit of twist in the middle of the book that I didn't see coming. Another 5 star read! ...more

Divided Interests is another great story by Kelly Elliott. It is a second chance romance with a hint of mystery built into the story. I loved that it kept me intrigued throughout the whole book. I couldn’t put it down.

Divided Interests is the third book in Kelly’s Southern Bride series. Each book can be read as a complete standalone novel. We have absolutely NO overlapping of story or characters in this series. Just like all the books in this series, this book was an emotional and angst filled story. I was nervous when I first started reading this book, because I wasn’t too fond of Lucas….he isn’t what I have come to expect from Kelly’s Heroes. Glad to say he changed as the story went on and he melted my heart by the end for sure!!!

This story is told in Dual POV. I loved the flow and pace of the story. It is a fairly quick read but it lacked for nothing. I thought the mysterious twist Kelly put into this book was fun and interesting. Something I haven’t read about before.

In this story we get Lucas and Paige’s story. They have been friends from the beginning and then transitioned into something more in high school. But when it was time to go to college, they had different things in mind, forcing them to separate. Now 11 years later Paige is back home and has just found out she is half owner of Lucas’s granddad’s house. A house she has loved all along. She also just found out that Lucas is the other owner of said property. To say that neither of them is happy about this is an understatement. With both determined to get the house for themselves, they are sent on a hunt to find out the reason behind Lucas’s granddad leaving the house to both of them. Can these two get over the past and see a future together? Will they get the HEA they had planned all those years ago?? Read this book to find out.

If you are a second chance romance fan, then this is the book to read. It’s one of my favorite in this genre. It’s also a great starting place to read a book by Kelly Elliott if you aren’t already a fan. I am definitely enjoying this series and can’t wait for the next book to come out!!!

Once again, Kelly Elliott had me hooked on a story right from the start and I didn't put this down until I finished, and I loved it! Not gonna lie, I wasn't exactly a fan of Lucas at the start, simply because of how much a d-bag he acted towards Paige. One thing I adore about Kelly Elliott's books is that whatever issue threatens the couple's chance at a HEA isn't stretched out over the course of the book with only 1 chapter dedicated to resolving said issue and riding off into the sunset.

One thing I adore about Kelly Elliott's books is that whatever issue threatens the couple's chance at a HEA isn't stretched out over the course of the book with only 1 chapter dedicated to resolving said issue and riding off into the sunset.

Once intentions were made clear, Paige wasted no time setting the record straight with Lucas and letting him know how much he hurt her with his actions when they were younger, and how much more his current relationship twisted the knife of hurt that much further. Thankfully Lucas acknowledged his role in the dissolution of their first relationship, of course after he finally finished acting like he was the one who was devastated after their first breakup.

I thought the whole "split the house in half" inheritance was unusual, but things really took a turn when the chest that Lucas was supposed to look for was located and the contents uncovered; talk about a twist I wasn't expecting! That whole portion of the story kept me glued to my e-reader as I digested what I was reading; it sounded so far-fetched, but a similar scenario happened to some of my family waaaaay back in the day lol.

I get the whole "never stopped loving each other" feelings both Lucas and Paige had, but I did think that Paige forgave him just a bit too quickly (although if you've read the book, you know how they move slow lmao). Towards the end of the book was a situation involving Lucas and his ex, but what made me mad was Paige's friend and what she did; I get having your friend's back, but to act like that during the meeting, yet make it seem like you realized Lucas wanted no part of the role he was asked on the spot to play didn't sit well with me. I think the friend should have apologized to Lucas personally.

A cute way to end the book and the epilogue was especially sweet, with yet one more shock regarding the grandparents that left me with a big, cheesy smile. ...more

We have the story of Paige and Lucas. To say those two have a long history is an understatement. After years apart and unsettled ill-will towards one another they find themselves reunited in a little twist that leaves both residing under one roof. This little 'twist' leaves them an equal owners of a home they both love and share memories. Lucas and Paige will not bend to the others wants and ideas of what should be done with the home. On top of the new living arrangements there is quite the mystery that pulls you further into their story. Toss in a whole lot of stubbornness, an unsettled past, hilarious banter, angst, mystery and a lot of romance and you have yourself one amazing book.

I loved Paige from the beginning. She was such a strong character. Her strong will and independence were quite refreshing. She would not buckle with her ideas and love for the gift she was given. Lucas was as stubborn as they come. It took awhile for him to redeem himself in this readers eyes but as always the author does not fail to give readers a beautiful story. These two had so much that remained unsettle for many years the road to resolve was not an easy one. We saw first hand how communication is the key to any and all relationships and what the lack thereof can do to a couple. When you add the mystery aspect to this story is was even more intriguing. This author can add such twists into books, give us angst, laughter and tears and with each line it flows like a beautifully written song.

If you love a second chance romance, this book is the one you need. You just cannot go wrong with author Kelly Elliott. Her writing style, the beauty of her stories and characters are just flawless. ...more
