Five stars all the way through. This book will throw you through every emotion you can have. Both characters have been through enough junk and back. This story is well written, and hope future books follow with them, as I would love to see them grow.
Be Brave With Me is the first novel in the Finding Love in Green Springs series by C.A. Miconi. And Be Brave With Me might be on of my favorite titles ever! I absolutely loved how perfectly it fit with the story.
Meg Taylor is lost, well maybe not lost so much as wondering. She has lost everything and has bucket list, but what she wasnt execting was her vehicle to breakdown in about the smallest town ever in Mississippi.
Drew Moyer is a homegrown small town boy. He seems together, but has had his own tragic experience that he has battled to come back from. He seems to be firther along than Meg in her healing process, but his tragedy did happen a lot longer ago.
Can Drew help Meh heal? Can they help each other? Will Meg stop her journey after all that she has found in Green Springs?
This novel was steamy to the max! I enjoyed the characters banter and the chemistry was truly off the charts. I cannot wait for more from this author and this series!

4-stars
Be Brave with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 1) by CA Miconi was a sweet romance. I was curious about main character Meg after the opening of the book. I wanted to know what happened and what has caused her to run. I got my answer later on. I loved how she began to change in the small town of Green Springs. Drew was also a fascinating character and I loved his personality. He understood Meg immediately after meeting her. He too had been through tragedy and it changed him. Seeing the two interact as they did was beautiful. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others.
I loved this novel, Be Brave With Me is an incredible love story filled with trauma, forgiveness and love. I found the characters to be incredibly deep, to struggle with their emotions as anyone would do and to still find love despite all that has happened. The setting in small town Green Springs is amazing, well written and incredibly visual. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves romance with depth. A must have romance.
Sometimes you need to read a book whether you know it or not. This book in one way or another called to me. I am so glad I read this book, I just needed it.
Meg and Drew are our two main characters and I really got wrapped up in their stories and how they’ve battled through everything life has decided to throw at them.
I love small town stories and all that comes with them. I cant wait to see where this series goes! Glad I took a chance on these 2 new to me authors!
Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1) by J.B. Havens (Goodreads Author), C.A. Miconi was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning with these two.
Following ;a tragedy in her life, Meg has sold everything and is looking for a new place to live. When she stops in a small town to rest she ends up getting more than she bargained for. She meets Nana at the hotel and she is very kind. Then she meets Drew, the first time she sees him she is completely rude and mean to him.
Meg isn’t the typical woman that Drew would fall for but there is something about her that draws him in. With the past tragedy he hasn’t been interested in moving on but Meg seems to spark something in him. Megs car breaks down and she ends up having to stay in town longer. Drew takes advantage of this and asks Meg out. You could feel their connection coming off the pages.
Can these two get past their tragic history and find happiness together?
“Sometimes, bein’ brave doesn’t mean not feelin’ fear. I think true bravery is when you feel the fear, own it, and do what scares you anyway” – Drew
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I had so many emotions during the read along with LOL moments. Meg was feisty and said what came to her mind and Drew was a hot as heck sweet man. The secondary characters were great. This was a great second chance romance that pulled at my heartstrings. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.
I am so lucky to have found this novel by CA Miconi and JB Havens, both new to me authors that I have got to do some more reading of in the very near future! I loved this novel and how well it flowed and created this little town and characters that I found it very hard to deny myself the love for. I was only going to read a few chapters in the morning before some errands and ended up rescheduling a lot of my day to read this novel in one go because I just couldn’t pull myself away. The hardest part of the book was the ending because I just could never get enough of this. I found solace in the fact this is book one of a series and I am so excited to see what other love stories we get from Green Springs.
Meg has been running hard, long, and fast from the past demons of her life when she stumbles into the town of Green Springs and smack dab into the life of Drew. Both of these people have a delicate and sad past that has made them the people they are today. Drew sees the pain in Meg’s eyes the moment he meets her and he wants so badly to help heal the brokenness she feels. He will need her to ‘be brave’ with him and trust him enough to stay and try. But Meg has a deep and long past and trust and bravery are not her strong suit because of it. Will she be able to be brave and stay? Can these two be the pieces they need to put themselves back together? For that and the beautiful story these two have you will have to trust me and one click this novel today! You won’t be sad you took a trip to Green Springs. I can’t wait to go back!
Meg is running from her past when she stumbles into a small town in Mississippi. Drew is dealing with old demons that still haunt them. The begining of their relationship is full of snide remarks and serious chemistry. Will they be able to overcome their individual damage?
This was a fantastic read. I fell in love with the characters and their individual stories. I highly recommend this book.
I. Love. This. Book! I can not wait to read Sally and Nolans story! I was hooked from the beginning. It was really touching and inspirational to read how two people with a broken past can move and and be able to read their side of inner demons and working through it to find something unexpected. I thought the flow of the story was perfect. I thought the fact that Meg has changed as a person after her tragedy complimented Drew’s character and his past. I love romance novels where the two characters connect in such a way they don’t have to talk about it but they still have self control is an amazing thing to read about. I found it extremely courgageous of Meg to finish her journey on behalf of Brandon to find her way home. This is a great read, and a fast read. I highly recommend!
This book completely plays into some of my favorite themes. Small town southern charm with romance thrown in. The author is new to me and charmed me from the first page. I was completely absorbed into the storyline. Loved every page and cannot wait to read more from this author and series.
These small town romance novels are a hidden treasure as they’re always so beautifully written and quite steamy to read. Set in the small town of Green Springs, Mississippi where the times heat up moment by moment.
In this steamy read, we follow characters, Meg and Drew. Meg who is heartbroken and grief-stricken, not once but twice, she becomes a nomad as she’s running from her past until she lands in Green Springs.
In Lee County, Drew has failed at his desired path of a football star on the rise. Now that he’s set into his comfortable country life, here comes Meg who comes along to shake his world up. Drew can sense the pain on Meg but will she let him unravel what she’s been through? Can Meg stay in one place long enough for Drew to help her? Should Drew be strong enough to release her?
I think this is one of the best stories I’ve read in a minute. I’m a sucker for a love story and an even more sucker for healing of any kind. This is a beautiful read and you’ll love how this one turns out.
4 Stars
Be Brave With Me is the first book in Finding Love in Green Springs Series by J.B Havens and C.A Miconi. This is my first read from either of these two authors, so I really had no idea of what to expect going into the story. I was drawn to the title, because I used to live in a place called Greensprings many years ago- so I was curious to see how the story would unfold.
We meet Meg and Drew, who have each experienced their own tragedies and battling their own demons. Meg arrives in town, after 6 months of trying to outrun her demons and find peace. Can they help heal each other?
This is a wonderful small town romance, with emotion, drama, humour, and spice. It was easy to lose myself in the story, in a good way- and it kept me engrossed from beginning to end. I read the story in one easy sitting and will definitely be going back to explore more of these two authors other work/s, as well as read the rest of the series as they release.
A great start to a wonderful new series.
Thank you, J.B Havens and C.A Miconi!

4 of 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this small town romance set in the small southern town of Green Springs, Mississippi, “Where the days are hot and the nights are hotter!”
This is book one in the, “Finding Love in Green Springs” series and can be read as a standalone story or part of the series. In this book we meet Meg and Drew and the chemistry between the two of them just sizzles off the page, sparks literally flew when the two first met in Green Springs. Drew was destined for football greatness until an accident changed his life but he’s always been the golden boy of his hometown. Having suffered and lived in despair for so long Drew has finally settled into an ordered life although a lonely one. Meanwhile Meg has found herself alone in the world following two tragedies which have tested even her strength. Having been on the move for six months, literally running from her demons, Meg arrives in Green Springs. When Meg and Drew meet Drew recognises in Meg the pain that he has suffered and although Meg tries to hide her feelings she can’t seem to hide them from Drew. Whilst Drew wants her to stay and to help her heal, Meg just wants to keep running. Can either of them be brave enough to either stay or let each other go. No spoilers as I recommend you read the book to find out!
I loved Meg and Drew as individual characters but together they were an amazing couple who had both been through so much and I was really cheering them on hoping they would both get their happy ever after. This novel has a lovely storyline with plenty of steam and although it’s an emotional read it also has some laughter, especially with the witty banter between Meg and Drew.
The secondary characters are all fascinating in themselves and I’m looking forward to maybe learning their stories in future books in the series. A great book for an easy read which had me fully immersed in the story from page one. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
I enjoyed this book. This is my first book by these authors and I will be looking for more. This is a well developed story that has characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. They made the story feel real. I had no problem connecting with them which helped with making the story engaging. I was pulled into this story right from the beginning. Meg is a person who has lost everyone and is running from her past. She stops in this small town, she may find more than she realizes here. Drew has become comfortable in his simple life even though it is lonely. There is instant chemistry with these two when they meet. He recognizes something in her that he wants to heal. Will he help her heal or have to let her go? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what fate has in store for these two.
A Captivating & Heartfelt Story! Great Narration
Be Brave with Me
Finding Love in Green Springs, Book 1
By: CA Miconi, J.B. Havens
Narrated by: Tyler Darby, Tara Langella
I thoroughly enjoyed this small town romance, it is well written and well told with interesting and original storylines that swept me in right from the start, grabbing both my attention and my heart. The characters are realistic and easy to connect with, the two leads, Meg and Drew, each broken in their own way, fighting ghosts and demons of their past. Drew lives in Green Springs, Mississippi a tragic life changing event sent him on a path of destruction, first losing his dreams then trying to fight his demons away. He is finally getting himself back on track, he has his own place in his Nana’s Motel, he helps her out with maintenance and repair, he also works at the local garage. Meg lost all she loved and has left all behind packing what she could fit in her Jeep Cherokee to live a life of a nomad life, traveling the country. She rolls in to Mississippi and stops at the Brewer’s Motel for the night. Nana puts her in a room right next to Drew’s, there first meeting isn’t the most pleasant but I think Nana’s move was a genius move. There was great chemistry between Meg and Drew, they are great together and for each other. I loved how everything plays out in this book, how they open up to each other, how she feels she must do and what he does to support her. This is a great story of Love, loss, healing, and learning to live and love again. Thank you CA Miconi and J.B. Havens for this great story and collaboration as well as the emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, Tyler Darby and Tara Langella are terrific narrators and voice artists. They bring the characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. They did a great job portraying the characters, you could hear all their emotions projected into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen

Meg and Drew’s story is one that I was emotionally invested in from the get go…and it was quite the ride. Meg has sold off everything she had and is running from the tragedies of her past. Drew is a former football star that has suffered his own tragedy. Finding her way to Green Springs, Meg and Drew cross paths and their relationship is explosive from the beginning. However, as they both try to deal with their own pain, they need to figure out if they can heal each other or if they are better off just continuing the way they have been.
This book is full of emotions. Each of their situations pulled at my heartstrings and made me invested in their story. I really enjoyed every word of this book. We are also introduced to secondary characters that, if I had to guess, will be the subject of future books in the series. I will definitely be checking them out because this little town has grown on me!
This is a cute enjoyable story! It made me chuckle at times but usually I had a smile on my face. Each of the MC had a devastation in their life. Maybe not recent but there are still repercussions as a result. I liked them both together and it’s clear they need each other. They have nice sweet, sexy, potty mouth filled times together. She is smart mouthed and he is kind. She is a take no prisoners lover…oh and so is he. They each adore Nana and the townsfolk of Green Springs.
This is an enjoyable quick read and I look forward to the next one.
PS. I love the title and how it is worked into the story.
Be Brave with me is a romance story set in a small town of Green springs. Meg has had a tragic incident and is on a road trip to let go of the demons of her past. Drew lives in Green springs for a living, he has lost a leg in an accident and is also mourning a loss of a loved one.
When they both meet, sparks fly, they are attracted to each other. But Meg cannot let go of her grief so easily despite Drew time and again comforting her to be brave with him. She still wants to continue her road journey to reminisce her past. Both of them have to fight their internal battles to let go and start their lives afresh.
It is an enjoyable novel and I really liked the small-town details, especially how the people in the small town are so friendly and caring towards each other, the small restaurants which serve delicious food, the bar, the repair shop and the shops. Everyone goes about in good spirits and help each other which pulls up the spirits of the reader.
It is a good book, but I felt there were too few characters in the novel. More characters and more interaction in the small town would have made the story a lot more interesting. It has a very good storyline but certain twists and turns would have made the plot a lot more promising.
It is a breezy quick read. If you are looking for a light romance book, this book is for you.
This is an amazing love story about two people who are struggling to overcome trumatic experiences in their lives to find a way to live again.
After suffering her trumatic experience Meg leave her home and everything she owns behind her. She is running away trying to find peace but finding it no where.
Drew suffered an accident which ended his promising career and killed the woman he loved. He has his demons to deal with as well.
When they meet neither of them is expecting the attraction between them that happens. Can Drew help Meg overcome her fears and learn to love again or will Meg be too scared and just keep running.
Be Brave with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 1)
by J.B. Havens and C.A. Miconi
4 out of 5 stars
Be Brave with me is the first book in Finding Love in Green Springs written by J.B. Havens and C.A. Miconi. This is an emotional and second chance story that brought me to a few tears. The main characters Meg and Drew are both emotionally unstable that can’t move past their past they just keep reliving the past. The characters are well written and the plot is awesome even if the plot was depressing and emotional.
Will Meg and Drew move forward in their lives? Or will they live in the past and miss out on life? Can these two help each other and move forward with their lives? Will they get a happily ever after or will they be miserable for the rest of their lives?
I recommend this book and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
