How far would you go to save your marriage?
Once upon a time, Justin Harper dreamed of marrying the girl he loved and having a house full of kids. But that dream died the day he moved out, too angry and bitter to try a second longer with a wife who’d turned into someone else.
If only he could force himself to stop loving her…

Maddie and Justin struggle with infertility, a temporary separation, meeting half sister Rachel, improving business, contemplating foster parenting all while improving their communication. This is a complex romance set in Pennsylvania with realistic characters, realistic problems, a supportive family , an honest friend, and a few steamy scenes. It was inspirational to watch Maddie and Justin work back to becoming a strong couple. This story brought back fond memories of my temporary stint as a foster parent. Of course, I also enjoyed the double happy ending.

I received a free copy of the novel Chasing Trust: A Harper Family romance book 3 of the 4 book series by Nancy Stopper and this review was given freely.
Complex and filled with family, dogs and poignant moments, this novel provides excerpts into the flourishing family life of the Harpers as it merger with the Bennetts, portrays the family’s concern with Alexis drinking, and contains the rocky second chance at romance story of animal shelter owner Serena with Edward aka world renowned photographer Chase.

I received a free copy of the full length novel Chasing Strength A Harper Family Romance by Nancy Stopperand this review was given freely.
Healing, love, self empowerment and the need for closure are well depicted in this poignant and bittersweet conclusion to the steamy Harper siblings’ romances.
Suspense thriller novelist Alexis meets local reporter Chris at a pivotal time in her life when depression and drinking place her in situation with the potential for date rape. This is an easy flowing steamy novel with wonderful characters and a happy ending but includes serious topics like date rape/murder, depression, alcoholism, and abuse which are balanced with happy Harper family scenes and social scenes with Alexis and Chris with their friends.
Wonderful stories of family, friendships, and love. Small town, romance, humor, secrets, and family that will always stand by you. Wonderful characters going through the ups and downs in life to find their happy ever after. The books are standalone but the series is great. No cliffhangers and hea.
I voluntarily received this arc in exchange for an honest review.
Four great love’s stories with the HArper Family. They’ve just discovered a secret from their deceased father that will change their lives while trying to find their happily ever after. A good chance to re-read their stories with this set book
Chasing Dreams – 4 Stars
This is a great start to a new series. Izzy and Tanner are great characters and have an immediate chemistry but they both have scars and reasons to be hesitant in letting anyone in.
Chasing Hope – 4.5/5 Stars
This is the story of Justin and Maddie and what happens after several years of marriage. It can be very easy to get distracted by kids and everything else going on and forget to stop and really listen and connect with each other. It is so much harder to fight your way back together.
Chasing Trust – 5 Stars
Another GREAT book in this series! I absolutely LOVED Chase and his connection to Serena.
Chasing Strength – 4.5/5 Stars
Another great book in this series. Chris is just the person Alexis needs just when she needs it most.
