4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,536 ratings

Six weeks. Six dates. Six different guys.What could go wrong?

Entrepreneur and marketing expert Jade O'Sullivan is determined to take the advice she gives her clients and think outside the box. So she's agreed to be a dating guinea pig for a popular podcast in exchange for free advertising for her new business. It's all fun and games until the ex she's secretly still in love with starts hijacking her dates and her heart.

Former Army Ranger and decorated war veteran Hayden Reed is trying to put the pieces of his life together after returning to his hometown. He's found his calling, training rescues as service dogs for veterans with PTSD. Everything is starting to fall into place, but there's still something missing. Will Hayden have enough fight left in him to go after the only woman he's ever loved?

A story of forgiveness, redemption, and second chances with hot sexy times, a meddling family—and a rescue dog thrown in for good measure!

    Another fantastic story by the sister duo. They have such an addictive writing style that I just can keep away from reading. Fun, quick reads that are a salve for my romantic soul.

    This brings us to Jade and Hayden. Teen romance that ended in heartbreak when he left for the military. Now he's back. He has baggage and she hasn't gotten over him. They are like magnets to one another in their hearts but Jade tries to treat it like their poles are reversed and propelling her away.

    While I loved reading this story, I felt like the pivotal moment that makes or breaks them was missing a scene and it caused it to fall flat. The scene tiptoed over it and, boom, they've healed the massive wound. I can't really say more without giving away the scene itself. I don't want to say more because it's still a great story and worth the read, hence my rating of 4 and not 5. Had more detail been in that scene, it would have been a 5 without hesitation!

    Looking forward to Coop's story next!

    Another fabulous love story with a roller-coaster twist to it. There are a lot of emotional feelings throughout this book that make it very complex and you can't help but throw yourself into the characters.

    I like this beginning quote from Nora O'Sullivan:
    "More drama than ABC has soap operas."

    "Six weeks. Six dates. Six different guys." Someone is going to be busy.
    "Coming to you live from Studio 1 in Dallas Texas; New York's Best Seller Author Vanessa____________"(what's her last name?)

    She covers dating and relationships over the course of six segments that spot light different areas of dating, sex, and relationships. These series focus on the difference between online dating and meeting someone in real life. These guys have no idea she is doing it for the show.

    As two young lovers - Jade and Hayden, their love was something that only happens once in a lifetime. But sometimes, life changes and one's plans don't mean it's good for the other.

    Jade tried to get over Hayden - spent years attempting to do just that, even convincing herself she had. But then one day he shows up at The Tipsy Cow and Jade realized she had been fooling herself. Hayden Reed was her first love, but she'd make sure he wasn't her last. Yah, right!

    Hayden wondered how different things would have been if he had made a different choice. What would've happened if he married Jade? Would they have kids now? Would they still be together?

    He didn't blame her. He had made his own choices for himself that didn't include Jade. He was hoping in his heart that in time she would forgive him or at least move on from the pain he had caused.

    One thing that never changed was his feelings for her. Hayden loved her then and he loves her now. Time, distance and experience wouldn't change that.

    Hero Rescue -
    Hayden purchased the old tire warehouse for his non-profit. He is going to rescue dogs from shelters and train them to be service animals for veterans who need them.

    This was a surprise to Jade when she walked into her parents' home just in time for dinner and saw Hayden sitting there. However, she was not too happy. Hayden suffers from PTSD and that was why he gotten Ranger. His own experience was what inspired him to start Hero Rescue. Jade was very surprised by his story.

    Jade's mother suggested she help Hayden. He wanted her to help him even though she tried to find an excuse not to. Jade loved animals more than she liked people. Her mother kept insisting she could find the time to work it into her schedule.
    "I'm sure I can work something out!"
    "Great! Then it's settled!

    How did that just happen? That had put a satisfying grin on Hayden's face.

    Now Hayden was driving her and he knew she wasn't happy about it. But he was! Hayden explained how he got Ranger and where he found him. Ranger was malnourished and had a broken leg. This little dog gave Hayden his life back.

    As they rode in his truck, Hayden told Jade the horrid details of his last tour and how bad his PTSD had gotten. Corey Crawford went through basic training with him. Corey died while coming under fire. Hayden blamed himself for his friend's death because Hayden was in charge.

    Just like that, Jade had her arms around him. "Thanks for not dying." Before he could say anything, she popped out of the truck and ran to the house.

    Hayden knew things weren't right between them, but they were closer to where he wanted their relationship to be than they were this morning. It was a start.

    Talking about what if! So much had happened between Jade and Hayden. She pictured every scenario that might've happened. Bella and Colton reunited when she returned to Wishing Well with Sadie. Their baby and Sadie would have been the same age.

    Jade was really feeling the effects of what Hayden went through. He may have deserted her after they lost their baby but she felt she sentenced Hayden to an emotional court-martial.

    I highly recommend this book and all of this series including Hope falls, Brewed Awakenings, and Whisper Lake are just a few of my favorites by this amazing author. Find out what happens at the end of the story. I promise you won't be disappointed.

    My next book to read: My First - Jason & Katie (Crossroads Book 1) Happy reading!

    I'm so happy to have gotten to visit Wishing Well, Texas once again! This town with all sorts of great people is the setting for this engaging second chance romance.

    Hayden Reed left Wishing Well as soon as he turned 18 to join the Army. While this had always been his plan, had had not chosen to share that nugget of information with one of the most important people in his life, his then girlfriend Jade O'Sullivan. Now that he's back in town, he's biding his time until he feels like it's been long enough to seek Jade out. He's also working on his new business venture, which is born out of the challenges he's faced since being injured in battle.

    Jade O'Sullivan has just started a business of her own, and in order to get some much needed publicity, she enters into an agreement with her college roommate Vanessa to appear on her podcast after going on a series of six predetermined dates. She's on board to actually try to enjoy these dates until the man she has never fallen out of love with comes back into her life.

    Will Hayden and Jade be able to overcome all of the hurt and the misunderstandings that manifested between them over the years? Or were their best years together the ones when they were teens?

    The central theme in this book is second chances. I felt a connection to the characters and because of that, I was rooting for them to find their happily ever after. Hurt, anger and resentment can color so many things, but when you open your heart and your mind and begin to understand what others have been through, the revelations can be astounding and beautiful and that shined through for me in this book.

    Kudos to Melanie Shawn for not making us wait for this one and for another fantastic addition to this series!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A bit fussy and boring...
    Reviewed in Canada on October 28, 2018
    I found it too wordy for the content being offered. The book wasn't horrible, just boring. The intimate scenes were analytical and descriptive of the actions rather than emotions - this part goes here, and then we do this. There was no sexual tension nor anticipation. You knew you were reading a love story and how it was going to end and really the journey to get there wasn't worth the time spent reading it. Hard to invest in something so predictable.
