A Small Town, Cowboy, Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Wren Waterstone isn’t just one of the most decorated equestrians in the world—she was also my best friend for as long as I can remember. Until she wasn’t.

Now she’s back in Rosewood River, and thanks to a temp agency, Wren has been placed at my ranch. I have no intention of allowing my ex-best-friend to work for me, but when I see the desperation in her eyes, I can’t turn her away, even though I know I should.

Old habits die hard.

Seeing her every day is more challenging than I expected. She’s guarded. Wounded. And she looks at me like I’m the enemy. I need to know why. The more time we spend together, the more the lines between past and present blur—and we find our way back to one another. The only problem is, she’s got big dreams to chase.

And I only want to chase her.

I’ve loved this girl my entire life, and our time apart didn’t change that. I let Wren Waterstone get away once. Am I really going to make that mistake again?

**This is book 5 in the Rosewood River Series. Each one can be listened to as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

Loved Axel & Wren

In a Heartbeat by Laura Pavlov was so good and I devoured the audiobook which was narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Alex Knox perfectly. These two really brought Axel and Wren’s love story to life with their performances and all the different emotions they were able to capture in each scene.

Perfect mix of heart felt moments and a little spice.

Great book. Loved every moment. It was emotional and fun with the perfect amount of spice.

Such an amazing book with incredible narrators!

This was such an amazing book! I am absolutely obsessed with this series and this family! Laura Pavlov did a great job creating this story and all these characters! Their family and their relationships are amazing! I loved the friends to enemies to friends to lovers relationship between Axel and Wren. They were perfect for each other! Axel was such a thoughtful and swoon worthy book boyfriend. I cant wait to read the next book in this series, although I’m sad this amazing series will be over.
The duet audiobook was incredible and the narrators really brought this story and these characters to life! I highly recommend this book, audiobook, and this series!

I never want to leave Rosewood River!!

Laura Pavlov delivers ANOTHER amazing Rosewood River love story!!! I absolutely melt for the “friends to enemies to lovers” trope, especially when the MCs are childhood friends who know each other better than anyone. Wren and Axel were exactly what I hoped they would be - both as individual characters and as a couple - and the narrators who brought them to life were outstanding. Samantha captured Wren’s vulnerability so perfectly in her performance, and you could feel the shift in her tone as she gained the confidence to stand up to her family. Alex was a new narrator for me, and I immediately fell in love with not only his voice but also his acting! He brought something special to not just Axel, but every side character as well. I cannot believe we’re almost at the end of this series already, and as much as I never want it to end, I can’t wait for Archer’s story - and to FINALLY find out who’s behind the Taylor Tea!!!!!! 😂

I'm obsessed with Wren and Axel!!!! Our horse girl and cowboy stole my heart from the beginning and i couldn't stop until I finished their story! Laura just knows how to suck me in and this one was no different. These two were so swoony and I love them so much!

Wren and Axel have been best friends since they were kids. The had a shared love of horses and were thick as thieves (and almost more) until something happens to drive them apart. Now she is back in Rosewood River and wouldn't you know her temp job is at Axel's ranch! She may be closed off but he’s going to do everything he can to get his best friend back. It turns out his feelings for her never went away and now that she’s back in his life he doesn’t want to let her go. She’s a champion equestrian with dreams to chase though and those dreams may just take her away from Rosewood River.

They were so swoony. The way Axel showed up for Wren in both big and small ways just made my heart so happy.

Let's chat audio! THE AUDIO! Samantha Brentmoor and Alex Knox DUET NARRATE this story, and it's AMAZING. I was so engrossed in the story, and I loved every minute of their performances. I did this one at 2x speed and it was clear and easy to understand!
