Aaron’s Heart did not disappoint. It was an easy read and hard to put down. I fell in love with Ryan Parker and Candice’s story in the first book. I fell more in love with the Parker men. In Mia and Aaron’s story in the second book. I love how Aaron manages to sweep Mia completely off her feet. He broke down walls she built around her heart, from the hurt of failed relationships. If that wasn’t a feat in it’s own. Aaron will stop at nothing to make ALL of Mia’s dreams come true. This couple will definitely stand the test of time.
I love how how the author writes. He makes me feel as if I’m right there with the character and a part of the story. I’m looking forward to reading Jackson’s Love, (Lake Hope Book 3).
I thoroughly enjoy this authors books. I highly recommend it this series.
This book was fantastic!! I loved the dynamic between the two of them and also the supporting characters. I wanted to know how they were going to work out their differences and it kept me reading and then all of the sudden it was hours later and I was done! It was that good!! Mel Walker really knows how to write a real love story! Aaron is definitely a member of my harem!
Aaron’s Heart (Lake Hope Book 2)
Mel Walker
Aaron’s Heart is the second in this series, and is about the other Parker boy. Aaron left town years ago and has never looked back. He has tried his hand at a variety of jobs, and is currently a location scout for Hollywood, which has him travelling all the time. He came home to Destiny Falls for his father’s retirement party. He met Mia at it, and sparks flew and he was enchanted with her. He was pulled away the next day, but returns home a few weeks later anxious to see Mia since she ghosted him. Mia has been heartbroken before and vows to never be in another long distance relationship. Aaron isn’t going to just let her go, she has captured his heart. Will Mia let her defenses down for what could be the best relationship of her life? Will Aaron win Mia’s heart? You will need to read to find out. But Aaron’ knows what he wants and will do anything to get it, but most of all he will do everything in his power to see that all of Mia’s dreams come true. I loved the first book, and not sure how this is possible, but I think I love this one even more. I mean it is hard to resist a Parker boy! I loved that so many of the same characters are in this book, so you can see how they have all grown. All I can say is Mia is one lucky girl, and I hope she realizes the treasure she has with Aaron. I am loving this series, and I can’t wait to read the next one! Please keep these books coming Mel Walker!
Amazing!
Mia Marshall is a beautiful independent woman from a small town called Destiny Falls. She works with her friend Candace and loves what she does. But she also has trust issues. Relationships are no good to her if they are not with a man from her hometown. She has been there and done that, and she won’t be a fool again. At least…until she meets Aaron Parker.
Aaron Parker is a man who loves what he does because he doesn’t have to stay in one place. He gets to travel the world and see beautiful places for movies that are going to be made. He left the small town of Destiny Falls a long time ago and he doesn’t have plans to go back. But when a beautiful woman doesn’t fall to his feet or answer his texts at least, he becomes intrigued. Why doesn’t she want anything with him at all? He is going to find out there at home is where the heart is.
This story was so beautiful. It had the right amount of humor, love, and yes emotional parts as well. In this book, we learn about being true to yourself and fighting for love when you know it’s real. It’s so wonderful and this book needs to be read.
Aarons heart is book 2 in the Lake Hope series by Mel Walker. Aaron has an amazing job in Hollywood. He scouts places for movies. No matter where they are he will find it. Mia knew Aaron didn’t live in Destiny Falls. So when he left she ghosted him because she didn’t want a long distance relationship. Thess two have great chemistry. I loved this book. It was so sweet.
Aaron’s Heart makes me want to take a leap into the book and visit my friends. Wendy for Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
This was my first Mel Walker book and what a sweet read. It is book 2 in the series but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. Loved Aaron and how he falls for Mia so completely and is willing to do anything to see her happy. He is a total charmer. Mia’s friends were fiercely loyal but wanted her to find her happiness. Destiny Falls and Lake Hope sound like such fabulous places I want to go visit the Lodge. I’m looking forward to going back and reading Ryan and Candice’s story as well as book 3 when it comes out.
An amazing second book in the Lake Hope series.
This story follows Aaron and Mia. Both the characters are from book 1 in the series. I highly suggest reading book 1 first.
Mia hasn’t had the best luck in relationships. Trust is a huge issue for her. On top of small town living,it doesn’t help her any in the love department. Not that shes truly looking for it.
Aaron is a hard working man with a job in Hollywood. It also leads him to travel alot. Never letting him have much time to settle down or find his soul mate.
Lake Hope brings these two together as their journey to a hea begins.
This story is a sweet, cute, fun second in the series. Its entertaining and fun to read. The characters are amazing. Everything I love in a book. 5/5.
Very good read!! Enjoyed Aaron and Mia even though there were times when smacking them upside the head seemed like a good idea!
Mia wants nothing to do with a long distance relationship she has been burned before but when she met Aaron she was falling pretty hard till he traveled for his job. Aaron has just found his forever in Mia but she won’t give him the time of day but he is nothing but determined. Mia is convinced that she will never be loved and Aaron has found what he has been searching for, if they could only meet in the middle. I loved how Mia knew her own mind and Aaron could see right in it.
Mel Walker did it again. What a beautiful love story. The characters were very relatable and their sense of humor kept me laughing. Book #2 in the Lake Hope series did not disappoint. I sure hope there’s a book #3 so Dana can find her forever love.
A really great story.
This book is packed with so many emotions as you follow Aaron and Mia’s journey.
I really enjoyed this book and cant wait for more.
Aaron has a great job, travels a lot and doesn’t want to settle down. Life is perfect except for love, no woman. Mia on the other hand has been hurt and shields her heart from getting hurt. When Aaron first meets Mia at his dad’s retirement party, he is drawn to her. Mel writes the love story allowing the readers to share in both profiles of the main characters. When you start to read it, you don’t want to put it down.
I was given an ARC of this book free for an honest review. As with the first book in this series, I really enjoyed reading Aaron and Mia’s story. It was very sweet, and it was nice seeing Mia let her guard down and let herself fall in love. I loved the characters and getting glimpses of some of the previous characters from book 1.
Overall a good and enjoyable read. The storyline and characters kept me interested throughout the story. I found some parts were a little repetitive but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story as a whole. I have read the first book in this series but you can read this one without reading the first.
Aaron has a fulfilling job in Hollywood. He travels a lot and enjoys it. The one thing missing from his life is love.
Mia has been in a relationship in the past that did not end with a HEA. She is guarded and has set some rules in her life to protect her heart.
When these two meet when Aaron comes home to his small town for his dads retirement party there are sparks. But with a small town girl and a roving wanderer will these two be willing to bend to have the one thing their life is missing?
This was a sweet read. Great small town feel and wonderful characters. I did not read the first in the series and was able to follow this standalone without any issue. Great job in getting inside the characters heads by the writer.
I am volunteering to leave a review for this book.
Beautifully written.
This is the first book I have read in this series and read it as a standalone. I will be going back to read the first one. I stayed up reading Aaron and Mia’s story. I had to know how they came about but loved the way they connected, and their affection grew. Small town living is no joke and this author brought it all to life.
This is a great clean romance novel. The roaming Parker brother, Aaron, met Mia at his dad’s retirement party and sparks flew. Aaron works for the movie industry finding places to film movies and travels the world. Mia has been hurt and doesn’t do long distance relationships. These two have chemistry and if Mia can get over her hurt and trust issues they may have a chance.
Wow, I really enjoyed reading book 2 of this series. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. You should definitely reading book 1 first since this book is based on characters that were introduced prior. Great book and highly recommended.
Mia and Aaron come to terms with their relationship in this sweet and passionate story of love and broken people finding their way to one another. Love the story and looking for more by Mel Walker.
