Beards and Broken Hearts : A Man of the Month Club Second Chance Small Town Romance Kindle Edition
Twelve years. I thought I had forgotten the face of my first love, but over a decade later I would recognize those dark soulful eyes anywhere.
Layton Michaels is no longer the teenage boy who asked before he kissed me. No, he’s all hulking man in flannel, with a dark beard and backward ball cap. Gone is the carefree smile, now it’s replaced by a deep scowl and I can’t help, but want to know why.
When his sweet grandma hires me to make her dream wedding dress I’m reluctant, if only because it would put me back in harm’s way- close proximity to the heartbreaker. The mischievous look in her eyes doesn’t help either.
The suspicious feeling that I’m being set up grows stronger each time we “randomly” bump into each other. It’s confirmed the night we’re trapped in the wine cellar together.
What I didn’t see coming was falling in love down there. After that night we’re inseparable. Every spare second we spend tangled together and I let myself imagine forever again.
That fantasy disappears like smoke when the letter comes.
It’s the chance of a lifetime, but we can’t both go….

- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024I loved every second of this spicy and heartwarming Man of the Month Club novella! Can’t wait to read more of her work!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024“My heart always felt like something was missing, and now I feel everything I’ve missed for so long.”
Sometimes in life, trauma just wraps you up and you spiral down. So was the case for Layton with Daphne as collateral damage, though she struggled afterwards as well. More than one relationship was strained when all said and done but there was real growth and maturity shown which lead to me rooting for them. Loved the priority to Daphne’s hopes and dreams as well. Thank goodness for meddling grandmothers!! The angst mostly happened as backstory and the epilogue was the icing on the cake.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024Beards and Broken Hearts was a great book with a second-chance Romance. I loved how the grandmother is very meddling and knows that her grandson messed up by breaking up with his high school girlfriend after his grandfather passed away I thought it was funny how she locks them in the wine cellar. Layton figured out he had messed up by letting Daphne go and pledged to do whatever it took to be with her. This book is excellent for someone who wants a charming and cute love story. The characters are very romantic. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's enjoying a fast read and a fun read.

Daphne was left broken when Layton ghosted her one summer. His grandmother Eleanor played matchmaker to bring them back together. They found happiness at long last and his buddy fell for Daphne's sister Holly. Cute story and lots of healing moments!
