Fragile Hearts

Poplar Falls, Book 4

De: Amber Kelly

Narrado por: Tim Paige, Stella Bloom

Who says a girl can't have it all?

I had my life and career all planned out. That was until I was betrayed by someone I trusted and my perfect opportunity was stolen from underneath my nose.

So here I am, back on Stoneyridge Ranch in Poplar Falls licking my wounds. I love being home with my family and friends, but I am determined to move past my anger and build my career. I have goals and plans too big for my hometown.

When Brandt Haralson, the new Vet in town, offered me a job, it was the perfect opportunity for me to plan my next move and get some experience. He’s brilliant, driven and sexy as sin, but he is also not interested in getting involved with anyone. I can learn a lot from him and I don’t have to worry about any romantic engagement.

You know what they say about the best laid plans. When an attraction builds to the point of boiling and walls start to come tumbling down, can I stick to my plan or will I discover that everything I ever wanted was right here after all?

Small Town, Ranch, Friends to Lovers.

The Perfect Story

I didn't know how much I needed their story until we had it. I love Amber Kelly so much, but her audios always have a hold on me. Tim and Stella had amazing chemistry and I felt like they embodied each character so perfectly.

Our MMC was a little broken and Tim did an amazing job at representing that pain through his story, but also by allowing us to recognize the character he was in previous books.

I loved every single second and cannot recommend enough.

It was so easy to fall for the veterinarian. Very easy.

This is my favorite Poplar Falls story yet. The tortured vet, Brandt, who lost his wife and is avoiding moving on but finds himself very attracted to,Bellamy.

The narrations were spot on, the characters coming to life exactly as they should!

Bellamy who’s searching for her dream job following graduation from college. She comes home to Poplar Falls, she feels temporarily until she gets her dream job in Denver, but winds up falling hard for the Doc. But Brandt is scared of everything Bellamy represents. She’s fiesty, fearless, and he’s especially frightened of a fresh start and new love. So he walks away but…….not for long.

I LOVE all of these characters and each book in this series gives us more joy, emotion, humor, and the BEST happily ever afters! Walker is back with his smart, flirtatious mouth and he’s even more charming now that he’s with Elle. Myer and Dallas are about to have a new member of the family arrive and the Lancaster aunts are back in full force. Sonia needed to dump her awful husband (oh come on, this had to happen!) and Sophie and Braxton are about to add a new baby to their household. The families are growing and it’s all such a wonderful read.

This series continues to captivate, with the very best group of family and friends and small town romance at its best.

Enjoyable listen!

3.5 stars rounded up to 4
Book 4 in the Popular Falls series gives us Bellamy and Brandt’s story. Overall, this was a sweet romance with low angst/drama. Brandt does have a tragic past and when he is with the guys sharing stories his and Braxton’s stories broke my heart. A slower burn with a friends to lovers and work place romance. The characters were all very likable but for me personally the story fell a little flat in places. I wanted to see more of their relationship and struggles but it was still a very enjoyable listen with some really good narrators.

Phenomenally good

Fragile Hearts by Amber Kelly

This is the fourth book on the poplar Falls Book and it didn’t disappoint. I loved their story is was so sweet and sad. Brandt is just going through the motions of life not feeling or really living. He is still mourning the great loss and love of his life that is until Bellamy. Bellamy is back home awaiting a very important call. When the call come in it’s not what she expected. Feeling betrayed she decided to make herself useful and help the new vet not knowing that would change her life. They have to overcome fears and loss to navigate to their happily ever after. It was a great book. I read and listened to these amazing narrators. I live that we get to hear both and kinda imagine what both characters would sound like while we read their story. I am a huge fan of this author and love that we are getting to read and now get the opportunity to listen to these amazing stories as we read along.

Love this small town boss/employee romance

I just love Amber Kelly’s brand of small town romance and I’m so sad to be saying good bye to Poplar Falls. She has a way of sucking you in which feels like you’re going into a story to experience it with your friends. Brandt and Bellamy were the couple I didn’t know I needed. Together they showed each how to live freely.

Brandt has a past that keeps him playing life on the safe side. He doesn’t take risks and it leads to a closed off lifestyle. He was a loner but a great vet to to this small town and the ranches.
Bellamy is fierce, loyal, and throws herself completely into everything. She is a recent college graduate making a pit stop in Poplar Falls for the summer. But all her plans came crashing down and her big heart that caused her to offer to help Brandt at the vet clinic changed everything.

You know how they say opposites attract? Brandt and Bellamy fit that perfectly when they met. These two fight it but yet can you really ignore the magnetic connection with your soul mate?

Tim Paige and Stella Bloom were just perfect for this audiobook and just added to the experience.
