Boone is a wonderful heartwarming read. I love how positive Boone is and open he is. He will steal your heart as he helps show Hannah it’s okay to move on. Hannah is traveling lost after the tragedy’s she has faced. Eternity Springs is a special place. It brings people together. Hannah is wonderful and I love how she blossoms with the help of Boone and her new friends. This will own you just a little as you watch the transformations of Hannah and Boone. I loved every moment of this one.
Joyful yet deeply emotional romance
Boone and Hannah are both widowed, and both are still learning to live with their grief. Hannah’s wounds are little more fresh and her heart is still bleeding as she finds her way to Eternity Springs just as Boone is offered a second chance at the family he’s always wanted, even though he’ll have to confront a few scars of his own to close the deal.
This beautifully philosophical story will stay with me for a very long time. I loved the way Celeste gently prodded Hannah back to living her life, and I adored the way the town engulfed Boone with all the support he needed as he embraced his new role in life.
The author deftly brought out both Boone’s and Hannah’s tragic past histories in a way that made it impossible not to feel empathy and compassion for both of them, while injecting plenty of light-hearted, cheeky humor for balance. These two broken hearts were truly healed together and it was a joy to read their story. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This was an excellent book that dealt with the topics of love and loss and finding your place in the world again. Hannah shows up unexpectedly in Eternity Springs and when Boone finds her at Lover’s Leap, apparently ready to take her own life, she finds a shelter that she never thought possible to find again. Boone accepts Hannah just as she is, a broken woman who needs love and healing. Providing that at his estate in Eternity Springs is easy; not so easy is protecting his heart from her vulnerability that draws him to her. This book drew me in and was a quick read with compelling, magnetic characters in the little town. My favorite character was Celeste Blessing, an older woman who is wise and intuitive about Hannah’s needs and her wants. I thoroughly enjoyed reading as the relationship between Boone and Hannah evolved and I loved the patience that Boone displayed with her. The camping scenes were awesome! I have camping, but I wouldn’t mind “glamping” at all as it’s described in this novel. All in all, this was a satisfying and absorbing romance that allowed me to lose myself in its pages all the way to the end. Fans of romance will enjoy the book and you don’t have to read the other books in the series to enjoy this one.

I loved reading Boone and Hannah’s story in Boone by Emily March; book 18 in her Eternity Springs series. So far, if you’ve been reading this series, the only things we knew about Boone was that he was single, , a lawyer, best friends with his cousins Jackson and Tucker, and that he left his native Texas to move to Eternity Springs. Finally, we get to know more about him and the mystery surrounding him. This story is not only about Boone, but also about Hannah. Note: keep tissues nearby while reading this story.

Ms. March wrote a sweet and emotional story that should not be missed. It was a story filled with magnetic attraction, sizzling chemistry, and endearing characters that help Boone and Hannah find their love and happiness. I highly recommend Boone to other readers and look forward to Emily March’s next book.

I just love Boone. He decides what he wants and he goes for it. When he spots Hannah standing on Lovers Leap, he thinks that she looks like she is ready to jump and he can’t let that happen. He brings her home and gives her a safe place to stay. He knows she is running from heartache because he has been there himself. She is in a very dark place and needs to dig herself out. With the help of Celeste and Boone, she starts to feel like she wants to be among the living. When Boone adopts a little girl, it is hard for her to interact with the baby, but it helps her come back from her dark place. Can she come all the way back? Will she stay in Eternity Springs and let Boone love her?
4 Star Review of Boone: Eternity Springs: The McBrides Of Texas by Emily March
Emily March is a relatively new author to me. It can be read as a stand alone, but I do wonder if you would get a deeper appreciation if you were to read other books in the series first.
Boone McBride is a man who I fell hard and fast for ; a totally swoon worthy character that ticked the boxes for me. Having settled in Eternity Springs he was slowly but surely built a life for himself. When he meets Hannah Dupree he can see the pain and heartache in her eyes and is determined to help her, what he doesn’t count on is falling in love with her.
With Boone refusing to take no for an answer, he slowly but surely brings Hannah back to life. However what happens when the past comes back to confront them? Willis bring them together or rip them apart?
I love small town romances and this is a sweet, romantic, heartwarming, love story with characters that you cannot help but fall for and which I enjoyed.

Everything seems to believe that the couple was destined to meet each other. Both had deep pains and needed to make major changes – physical and emotional – to continue living.
Boone was the man who had the perfect life, but few people knew what he had to deal with to grow as a person.
Hannah suffered in life one of the biggest losses for a mother, and she blamed herself daily for it.
At the meeting, a chance for surrender and healing, and, above all, love.
3 stars
This was a sweet story. Boone’s life is about to change drastically. While preparing for the upcoming changes, he meets Hannah. Both have had horrible tragedies in their past. The book was so full of heart that it left me feeling so good! I haven’t read the other books in this series, but this story was completely standalone so it wasn’t required. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Wow! This was by far my favorite book of the series so far. March really dug down into the emotions of these two characters. She brought Hannah back from the depths of so much pain that she was ready to kill herself. Boone was key in Hannah dealing with her grief and moving on. His character had been there before. Not only did he understand and empathize with her, he used his feelings to slowly pull Hannah back from the edge. I wish my brain could dig down deeper into their psyches, but it’s not gonna happen.
March’s writing is superb and Boone is a prime example of just what she can do with the written word. Boone is emotional and extremely moving. She made Boone so willing to show his vulnerabilities that it moved me to tears. Excellent book!
I was given a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.
This story offers great inspiration and hope especially during these times. This author knows how to capture the heart of the reader without pushing an agenda. Boone is a handsome and ideal leading man. He is a gentleman who is witty and also has a sense of humor. He has also faced tragedy. Hannah is beautiful and tragic. Watching their romance unfold is like watching the night turn to day and seeing a beautiful sunrise. This series has been filled with just great characters that has been a delight to get to know. Watching them get their happy ending has been great.
I requested and received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.
I read and enjoyed the book before this one (Tucker) and was eager to see how this one measured up to it. Despite the fact that I was amazed at how much money Boone seemed to have with no real explanation for how he got such deep pockets, I think the author did a good job of weaving the stories of the characters together. Hannah was a stranger that Boone happened upon – who would’ve guessed that they were meant to meet and support each other through all of life’s ups and downs. I enjoyed how this story plays out. Anything can happen at Eternity Springs.
I would’ve liked to have the story line about the adoption being contested a little more – I think it was made a major issue in one chapter but then not mentioned again – save a brief sentence in the epilogue.
I have enjoyed all of the books in the Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas series, but I have to say that Boone is my favorite. There was something about these characters and their story that just pulled me in and I didn’t want to put the book down.
Boone McBride has known heartbreak and tragedy. He’s moved to Colorado to try to escape that heartache and has been able to create a pretty good life for himself. He’s still missing the family he thought he would have by now, but he continues to soldier on with his life in the Rockies.
Hannah Dupree has been drifting for the past three years when the unimaginable happened to her and she lost everything she felt she had to live for. Now, she’s struggling to go on and is wondering if ending it all might not be the better way to go. She finds her way to the outskirts of Eternity Springs and ends up encountering Boone.
As Hannah and Boone begin to get to know one another, they are able to commiserate due to the heartache they have both endured, which causes sparks to begin flying between them. With the healing vibes that Eternity Springs seems to harbor, along with the strength and safety that Boone provides, Hannah begins to live again instead of being stuck in neutral. Will these two be able to help one another find love again?
I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of all three of the McBride cousins. Their relationships with one another, along with all of the townspeople in Eternity Springs made the story that much richer. Both Boone and Hannah endured so much that I was glad they had one another to lean on and to heal with. I look forward to future books Emily March has to offer.

Wow, this was a wonderful story of helping, healing and redemption. I have read a few other stories from this series and have found all of them to be great. You can read this as a stand-alone; you don’t need the backstory of the other characters; but, it is a “nice to have”.
Boone Mc Bride’s story of loss and feelings of regret, have made him leave a large law firm in Dallas and move to Eternity Springs Colorado and hang his own shingle. He has watched his cousins find the loves of their lives; he feels like he already had his and may have been undeserving of it. His friend, Celeste Blessing, helps him to see that there is more out there to accomplish if he would only open his heart.
Hannah Dupree has been running from her own demons for the past 3 years and finds herself in Eternity Springs with some dire thoughts. Boone McBride happens upon her and they strike up a conversation that has Hannah thinking of staying in Eternity Springs.
Their friendship blossoms amid the day-to-day and some turmoil; but, they are both hiding parts of themselves and afraid to let go of the hurt and pain. Throw a baby adoption and a puppy into the mix, and of course you have the makings of a great story.
A venture back to Eternity Springs brings the patient and often emotional relationship of Brant and Hannah. He is an eligible bachelor not looking for love. She is a grief scarred woman not looking for healing. Their relationship is mired in discovery for them both.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is a book on healing and how a small town in Colorado seems to be the place to go for that.
Boone has moved from his Texas home to Eternity Springs Colorado to heal from his broken heart. He has been taken in by this community and has thrived. When he spots a woman on the edge of Lover’s Leap he recognizes the signs of desperation and despair and he is moved to intervene.
Hannah has lost everything she loved and has been wondering around the country for the past three years. She is lost and can’t see a future where she isn’t in pain and this horrible feeling of guilt for her part. When the handsome man shows up and more or less insists she come with him her entire world will be forever changed.
There are lots of sad moments throughout this story but they are written in a way that you also can see the healing that is coming to both Boone and Hannah. This shows how the love and support of good friends can love you through it all and how two people that both suffered great tragedies can get to the other side and find happiness and a future again. This is the first book by this author that I have read but I will seat out more of her work as I found it both entertaining and heartbreaking as well as heart melting. I really enjoyed it.
I received an early copy from Netgalley to read and review with my honest opinion. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. It has a great story and great characters and plenty of suspense to keep you guessing on things.
Hannah Dupree was a very troubled woman. Meeting Boone McBride just outside of Eternity Springs, Colorado jump-started her life again. Hannah and Boone both have devastation in their pasts. Their relationship turned out to be a healing balm for both of them.I liked how Hannah was able to throw off her mantle of sadness and live again. I like Boone’s strength and compassion. This was a delightful read.
This is Book 3 of “The McBrides of Texas” series and this book had me totally captivated from the very beginning! The storyline was so beautifully written and the characters were so well defined that as I turned each and every page I felt like Boone and Hannah pulled me right into their journey as it unfolded!
I love Boone. He is trying to get his life on track.
What can go wrong with a mystery woman he thinks needs saving from herself, an abandon baby that was left with a note just for him, and a new puppy.
Emily spins a wonderful story about redemption, coming to terms with loss, and finding the good when everything seems bad.
The power of healing when your heart finds love. For Boone and Hannah Eternity Springs brought more that’s tranquility it brought them together. This book will bring tears, make you laugh and then fill you heart with joy.
A romance that tugged at my heart strings, this series was an experience in a full blown emotion overload. An amazing read that is a must to have on livery shelf and every ebook. I fell in love with the McBride family.
Emily March’s Boone was a good and enjoyable contemporary romance. Boone is trying to earn his wings when he stumbles across Hannah Dupree. Hannah is having a hard time coming to terms with the loss of her family. At first Boone’s interest is only humanitarian and winning his wings. However, as the story progresses Boone is drawn to Hannah and would like their relationship to be more. Wonderful characters, genuine human emotions and would recommend.
