Heart Falls Vignette and Novella Collection, Book 4

De: Vivian Arend

Narrado por: Tatiana Sokolov

They can’t outrun destiny. A stand-alone story by New York Times bestselling Author Vivian Arend.

When Fern Fields heads out on a trail ride with Cody Gabrielle—the quiet ranch foreman at Red Boot ranch—she has no idea how well they’ll click. Cody’s steady charm and quick wit are enticing, and Fern wonders if destiny might have a slightly dusty cowboy in mind for her sometime down the road.

By the time their friendship bursts into a full-blown relationship, everyone’s so used to seeing them together they’re practically hiding in plain sight. The secret is part of the fun—a little mystery tucked into their everyday routine. But just as Cody begins to picture a future with the woman who makes everything brighter, life throws him a curve he never expected.

Suddenly, it’s not just about falling in love—it’s about whether love is strong enough to weather the unknown and still stand steady on the other side.

Sweet plot

The storyline is believable and the characters have
the ability to draw you into there world.
The narrator was brilliant bringing the book and characters
to life.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audiobook.

I loved it!

This was a great story. It’s filled with love, the kind that weathers good and bad times. I won’t give any spoilers but you might shed a tear or two as Fern and Cody work to get their HEA. I almost forgot to mention that I enjoyed Tatiana Sokolov's performance.

What a wonderful lady Fern has turned out to be

Watching Cody and Fern come to love one another was a sight to behold. Fern is much deeper than just a friend though, she is your person. Beautifully written. Loved the audiobook narrated by Tatiana Sokolov.

Great story with ton of up and downs!

This story got to my very core it show that wide range of love and all its up and down when time get tough they band together.
I wont spoil the story toher say it very very good and have few tissues ready for the down and giggle for the up times

Believe Together

This is such a bittersweet novella. I want to hate it for the bitter part, but I just can't. Cody Gabrielle and Fern Fields are wonderful. Even when life's curveballs send them running for the hills, the way they quietly fight for what they have and want makes me love them all the more.

Things between them grow organically over the course of a couple of years. I love that we get to see them through the stages of their transformation. It turns out that Fern can keep a relationship secret better than her grandmother, Sonora, was able to. LOL!

The ending is absolutely perfect for them. Rose and Chance accept the incursion better than most would, including me. Either way, this is another wonderful addition to the series!

Prior reading may not be required, but having Heart Falls knowledge is something I recommend.

I listened to the audio book. Tatiana Sokolov narrates this with the love and quality I've come to expect from her. 🎧💙🎧
