Another good read
Chin Up Buttercup is the third book in the Twin Oaks series. This story is a second-chance romance about Avery and Tucker. There’s hurt, love, passion and a bit of intriguing mystery.
After having her heart broken years ago, will she be able to trust him again? Should she place her trust in him again? Can or should she risk putting her heart in his hands again? I don’t know if I could! He’ll have to work hard to prove his worthiness of her love and trust again.

When a book starts with the line 'Damn, and double damn' you know that the main character is going to be fun. In a Sweet Home Alabama style, Avery comes home to Twin Oaks Louisiana after five years in New York. Her ex, Tucker is now a policeman. Look forward to holding your breath, anxious for them to reunite. It turns out the reason they split was a modern day Romeo and Juliet excuse but with more entertaining characters - gun toting Miss Sally and Mee Maw. Of course the novel can't be an easy resolution, so a crime and Avery being hunted by the bad guy allows Tucker to flex his hero muscles. Happy endings are much better after a heart wrench

I loved this book. OMG, it is so well written that it takes you away and before you know it you are in another place experiencing the story. The characters are fantastic and you feel as though they are your friends and that what they go through you are as well. The story is well paced with makes for it being a good read, the transitions between scenes is great and does not jump. This book needs to be read, there is no doubt about it.

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This one about Avery and Tucker and the struggles they dealt with in life. A small town deals with a murder and it is hard to keep a secret when everyone gets information so quickly. A standalone read but you want to get the other books in the series to find out how everyone comes together.

A wonderful book, set in a wonderful small town. This story is great. It has humor, romance and mystery. I love all the snarky banter and the quirky small town characters. I really enjoyed reading this book.

This time the romance is a second chance wrapped up with a murder case. All the chills happens here, the longing, the heartbreak, the fear, the suspense, the passion. Until the HEA, it will be a roller coaster of feelings. From laughing at the grannys pranks to the wet eyes and strong heart beating at the more thriller parts. We get the chance to catch up with the other characters of the series and to fall in love with Avery and Tucker this time. Their love has a long road to healing, but its inevitable to surrender to it!

This story drew me in from the first and did not let go. Loved the story about Tucker and Avery who have known each other for years and enjoyed reading how they work together on their relationship. This is a sweet romance along with a little heat. Loved it.

I received this book as an ARC from the Author with the understanding that I would provide my honest opinion in exchange for the book.
Another fantastic Reece Taylor book, the next one in her Twin Oaks series. This book shows us more about Tucker Wilks and his long lost love Avery Sims returning home to their hometown.
Tucker has grown up and become one of the town's police force. Avery has come home to be with her family and wanted to visit the familial property that was left to her by her Grandfather. However, the property neighbor has Avery looking down the barrel of a shotgun! The last thing that Avery was ready for was seeing Tucker. The last time they saw each other was not a happy memory.
Avery was hoping to steel herself before she had to meet face to face with Tucker. Avery is back in town to open her own art studio and start showcasing some amazing artists. But in a small town, news travels fast and the old biddies of the town are wanting to meddle left right and center with poor Avery.
Great book, with a great flow, chemistry and HEA. Cannot wait to read the next in the Twin Oaks series. Keep up the great work Reece!

First, I must say that I am so loving the town of Twin Oaks. The people living there are a hoot. For instance, this story starts with Avery returning home and being met on the property her grandpa left her by his elderly neighbor lady who is sporting a shotgun. Then, as luck would have it or as Miss Sally would arrange it to be, when the police show up it is none other than Avery's ex-boyfriend, Tucker.
Things continue to get more entertaining when you add in all the crazy friends and family, a murder and a stalker and a years old feud. I laughed and cried and cheered and then wanted to smack some sense into someone. I love the way Tucker's family celebrated his and his twin's birthday. I guarantee you will enjoy this book and it can be read as a stand alone, but it is more fun learning about everyone from the beginning.

Avery and Tucker clearly have some drama that covers their past and present to get through so this book manages to start out juicy AND hilarious. Taylor has a way of working humor into just about any situation, while still getting real feelings across.
Twin Oaks is a completely loveable town, full of hilarious quirks and unique residents that make me just want to move right on in. Every time I open a book in this series, it’s like I’m there and I never want to leave.
There are loads of characters we already know from the first two books, and it might be more fun having the history, but you could read this as a standalone as well.
Professional on the inside and out, my only complaint is that Twin Oaks isn’t a real place I can move to.
Eagerly waiting for more.
4 stars.

Another great small town romance. The cast of characters in this series have it all: humor, care, protectiveness, love, nosiness, and a strong sense of family. Tucker and Avery’s story is a great second chance romance. Tucker loves her enough to let her go and find her herself with the hope that she will find her way back to him. He is a strong protector and a great family man. It is easy to imagine yourself falling for this small town police officer. Add in some quirky townspeople, old ladies with firearms and a murder mystery, and you have the making for a fine romance. The books in this series are highly entertaining.

Sweet/steamy read about second chances and learning from your mistakes. Avery and Tucker had a short romance when they were younger that was intense. Tucker took some questionable advice and it changed things for both of them. It's sad how often the best of intentions turn heartbreaking. I really loved the banter and the nicknames were so funny. Both characters were endearing and irritating. They wavered and flip flopped and I was screaming at them to just do something. I guess that's part of being younger. There is a bit of mystery that added to the story and I look forward to reading more!

Great book! I was laughing from the very first chapter. The close-knit group of friends and family that this series revolves around is truly exceptional. There are a lot of characters, but their personalities are so well defined and written so that I have no issue keeping track of whose who.
Tucker and Avery shared a long history together before their split, so there was a lot of healing to be done. Thrown in with their issues are Tucker's family drama and Avery's personal drama. I love the touch of suspense and of course the steamy moments. I look forward to the next in series!
