Welcome to Cross Creek where secrets abound, but love conquers all. Or does it?

I’ve been keeping a secret. One that could change a lot of lives, including my own. I came to Cross Creek to find my father. He’s the difference between life and death for me. During my search, I found love, only sexy builder Ethan Lockhart isn’t having any of it. I’ve done my best to make him mine, but he’s more slippery than a fish in a brook. I built my life here on a lie, but my feelings for this man are true. Will the secrets I keep destroy what Ethan and I creating?

I’m not the guy anyone picks first, so when Angie Sutton started flirting with my brother, I wasn’t surprised—that is until I found out she was doing it to get my attention. But this time, I’m determined not to give my heart away—not until I know who she really is. Letting someone get too close too fast is a blueprint for disaster. No matter how deeply I’m drawn to her, I know she’s hiding something, and until she can be honest with me, we don’t have a future.

Find out if the truth can really set you free in Guarded Hart, book three in the Cross Creek Series.

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

With careful steps, he made his way down the ladder. His shirt rode up, showing off his powerful body, and I had to stare. Any girl with working ovaries couldn’t look away.

I always had that sixth sense about things. I called it intuition. My brothers called it paranoia.

My Review:

Shucks, only one remaining Hart brother to go but there is still a small community that could continue this small-town contemporary romance series for quite some time. While angstier than I was expecting, the storylines tackled real-life issues and concerns in an insightful, entertaining, and informative manner. I was completely ignorant of the medical condition involved before reading this heart-squeezing installment which featured a cast of realistically flawed and struggling yet still endearing main characters. Thankfully, I trust the author to always deliver that highly desired HEA, as she has never failed me. I adore Kelly Collins and firmly believe she must be in possession of a magical pen.
