He's my former best friend and my husband of convenience, but he's not the man that got me pregnant. One year into my nursing program, two little pink lines alter my reality. Add on that the baby's father wants nothing to do with us and I no longer have healthcare coverage, and well? I start to panic. Enter Easton Buckley - Mr. Dependable, lineman with great health benefits, and a stubborn streak that pays off when he convinces me to marry him so my baby and I can be taken care of. The problem is, Easton and I haven't been on good terms for years, and neither of us has attempted to fix it. Yet now I'm living with him, forced to see him shirtless, and wondering why hearing him call me his wife is making my hormones even more wild. Then I figured out his secret. And there's no stopping the flood of emotions and unresolved feelings that come up. I'm scared to fall for Easton. I don't want him to be a mistake like every other love interest in my life. But what if the reality is, you can't help who your heart chooses to love? Even if they could be the one to break it once and for all?
Who the Heart Chooses by Harlow James will be published on October 23rd, 2026. This is the first book of the Garnet Valley Series.
I received this book for my honest review from Harlow James and The Smuthood. I absolutely loved another series by Harlow James. Make sure you check out her other books on the author pages. So I was really happy to see that I was given the ability to read her new series. I absolutely loved Easton in this book. He shows how much he loves Lennon from the very beginning of the book in all his actions. It is clear to see that she is his soulmate. Though Lennon it takes awhile to come around because of her personality she feels like she is not enough. Harlow did an amazing job with having their personalities different but yet they mesh so well with each other. The plot in this book flows really nice with the background coming through on some chapters and yet the current situation following it fits the previous back history so well. I absolutely loved this book and I cannot wait to read more from Harlow James.
