Harley and I had our whole lives planned out, until her plans changed, and those plans didn’t include me.After years spent trying to get the love of my life out of my head and repair my too-damaged heart, I thought I was finally moving on…but life sure has a funny way of letting you know when those best-laid plans are about to be turned upside down.My entire world was rocked when Harley … Harley unexpectedly moved back to Oak Springs. Every miserable moment I’d spent trying to get over her and every hour I’d wasted trying to erase her from my life came back to haunt me the minute she walked into my office, fear in her eyes, and asked me for help. Would I…or better yet, could I walk away from her this time after all that she had put me through?
What I really needed to know is would I be able to forge ahead with the future I had so meticulously planned—one that didn’t include Harley—or will her return finally open my eyes to a future full of endless possibilities?
Blind Love is book five in the Cowboys and Angels series.

5 Star Review Blind Love (Cowboys & Angels #5) by Kelly Elliott
This has to be one of my favourite series and Blind Love is about Tripp and Harley and is a second chance at love story. Although a stand alone I would recommend that you read these books in order as I do believe that you will get more enjoyment from the story this way as you Parker family evolves throughout the series.
This story had me engrossed from the first chapter to the last. I have been intrigued by
Tripp since he first appeared in the series and I was anxious to read his story. Blind Love lived up to my expectations in every way; although having said that I really wanted to smack Tripp across the back of his head several times reading this book; he frustrated me so much at times.
Harley and Tripp have been in love for what seems like forever but she left town and shattered Tripp’s heart. Finally deciding after many years to move on with Mallory (or is he?), Tripp is shocked when Harley returns wanting to talk to him. Tripp is a stubborn man and does his best to avoid Harley at all costs. Now she is back and wants to talk, but Tripp is determined to avoid Harley, but at what cost? However, his family are equally as determined that he finally listen to what Harley has to say (have I mentioned how much I love this family?).
This was one of those books I wanted to take slowly, to savour the story and yet I found myself riveted and saying to myself, just one more chapter until I finished.
The banter between Harley and the Parker women was at time hilarious and it certainly made for some truly snort worthy moments. Chloe continues to almost steal the book away form the main characters with her cute and smart mouth, I just adore that young lady.
Blind Love was a beautifully written, romantic, story of a second chance at love and that given time and hard work, dreams can and do come true. I cannot wait for more in this series.
Kelly Elliott has such a way of creating beautiful characters it is so easy to love them. From the start the Parker family have become a favorite for this reader and seeing their happily ever after and which Parker sibling will fall was awesome. Tripp was a goner from the beginning and though he is easy to hate in the beginning we see he is also just a man deeply in love. Cannot wait for Cord and Trevor’s story and see how they will try to escape the matchmaking when it comes to Mama Parker.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
The Cowboys & Angels series by Kelly Elliott is definitely testing my heart! In the next installment, Blind Love, number 5 in the series, we get an emotional second chance romance in Tripp and Harley’s story.
Tripp and Harley have history. One that nearly broke them when Harley left town when they you young and in love. But now she is back and determined to be honest with Tripp. But Tripp is one stubborn man and keeps Harley as far away as he can. But when old feelings that never really went away starting to interfere, how much longer can he keep denying her?
Though I wanted to hit Tripp at the start, you can understand where he was coming from. Tripp is a good man that is strong and caring and always helping those he can, however, Harley hurt him. And Harley, I totally loved her. She was sweet and caring and wanted to explain to Tripp. But was it too late now that he was ready to move forward?
Blind Love was both a heartwarming and heart-wrenching second chance romance. I love the Parker family and how they band together. Though these are billed as standalones, they are interconnected and I think, better experienced in order because these stories are more than romances, it’s about the strength of love and family.

~ 4.5 Love Isn’t Always Blind Stars ~
Blind Love is a swoony but angst filled second chance romance between two people who let the others dream get in the way of their happiness.
This was another great story by Kelly Elliott. I will say that it wasn’t my favorite of the series so far but it still was another great addition. My problem with this book was Tripp….he wasn’t what I have come to expect of a Kelly Elliott Hero. Or I should say he wasn’t until we got to the 60% mark. Up until that point I wanted to smack him around and say WAKE UP!!!! Once we got the Hero I have come to expect…this book completely turned around for me. That’s the reason for the 4.5 stars and not 5.
Blind Love is NOT a standalone novel. What Kelly has done with this series is, that each book is about a new couple but the storyline continues on throughout each book. This is a family saga series and they a connect together to give you a complete story about the Parker family and Siblings. You definitely NEED to read this series in order. Plus she sets up the next book throughout this whole book, so you would miss things by reading them out of order. I thought the flow and pace of the story worked well. And just like the previous books, this is written in Dual POV.
In this book we follow Tripp and Harley. Tripp and Harley were a couple back in High School and College….that is until one fateful conversation and Harley decides to walk away. Letting Tripp follow his dreams. Tripp is beyond stunned and hurt and forges forward but decides not to hear Harley out when she tries to contact him over the years. Fast forward 10 years and Harley is back home and owns the Vet clinic in town. Tripp being stubborn is determined to move on and not let Harley back in. Can these two get back their HEA?? How will Tripp feel when all the secrets are revealed?? Read this second chance romance to find out how things work out.
Even though Tripp wasn’t my favorite of the Parker siblings, I am still in love with the whole Parker Family. I will say it again and again, this series truly rivals Kelly’s Wanted Series which I also love. Kelly’s family saga books are her best writing and I fall in love with each of them. I would HIGHLY recommend all her books!! They are a MUST READ!!!
Every angel should have her own cowboy. Tripp and Harley are haunted by an incomplete past, an unfinished love and a motherlode of pain. Secrets destroyed what had once been so beautiful. Will anger and pride continue to stand in the way? Tripp is a man with a plan. His career is his first priority, until his heart gets in the way. Harley is the woman he can’t forget and the heartache he can’t forgive. Blind Love is a tale of two stubborn people finding their way back to love. The climb is treacherous, the emotions run deep, but so do the secrets that tore them apart in the first place. Can they learn to forgive, before they lose their second chance? Elliott is a shining star when it comes to matters of the heart. She reels in with seduction, but adds an edge of mystery and heart to balance out the mushy stuff.
I feel like I have been waiting for Tripp’s book FOREVER!! Kelly Elliot is one of my all time favorite authors and I love that each book has her special brand, but are co completely different! Kelly Elliott writing a second chance romance is one of the best things ever! Tripp and Harley have to go through a lot to get there HEA, but I promise each tear is completely worth it!!
