A captivating, heartwarming love story with so much heart and emotion. Marc has always been in love with Poppy but has been unwelcome by the patriarch of the Dawson family. Poppy has only ever wanted to be with March. One Hundred Lifetimes was funny as all get out, sweet yet steamy passion, heartbreaking, bittersweet, flirty, and healing love. Kelly Collins is a great writer who creates fantastic stories with well written plots and wonderful characters that readers will fall in love with. A fantastic story that will have readers riveted from beginning to end.

Kelly Collins does it again. Another terrific read in the Aspen Cove series! I cannot get enough of this town. It’s truly like going home when I open the book.
Your interest will be grabbed from the very beginning, thrstory is endearing, true to life and the facts surrounding death. That’s probably why it felt like truth in families and love of neighbors in Aspen Cove. There’s plenty of romance and finally after years and years, true love prevails.

This book hit me right in the heart and made me cry buckets of tears. The story is endearing, true to life and the facts surrounding death. That’s probably why it felt like truth in families and love of neighbors in Aspen Cove. There’s plenty of romance and finally after years and years, Poppy gets her man. She has loved Mark since she was a young girl and he has loved her but family dynamics forbid them to be together. I highly recommend this book and will continue to look for the next book about romance in Aspen Cove.
I love the town of Aspen Cove and all of the people who live there, this is the 7th book in the series and we get to learn a little bit more about characters that now seem like family and love them even more.
This book is about Poppy the 28 year old virgin who has always loved Mark, the biggest problem for Poppy is that Mark’s dad stole from Poppy’s dad and all but ruined their family, this is a small fact that her dad won’t let go and doesn’t want Mark anywhere near his daughter.
What can Mark do to change his mind, I can only suggest you read this book to find out.. You don’t need to read all the books in the series but why wouldn’t you want to.
Kelly Collins you have done it again, you won’t be disappointed at all

Kelly Collins is one of my favorite authors, and the Aspen Cove Series is just amazing.
I love all the books in this series, but definitely that was the best story of Aspen Cove I read. I had to stop reading at times because I was crying too much. Chapter nine broke my heart.
Poppy Dawson and Mark Bancroft have known each other since childhood, but when Mark’s father stole everything from the Dawson family, the burden of his father’s crimes fell on Mark.
Poppy had to give up much of her dreams to take care of her mother, Carol, who has a terminal illness. But when she decides to take a stand on her feelings for Mark, she has to face her father’s fury.
When Poppy and Mark decide to give their love to each other a chance, the interactions between them are great and fun, despite Poppy’s little experience. Despite Poppy’s father’s resistance to the relationship, they have full support from Carol, and over time we realize that Poppy’s father remains a good man, who just doesn’t know how to cope with the deterioration of his wife’s state of health and their near loss.
I loved this story and to be able to see again the characters from the other books in this series, as well as their action in this story, as the residents of Aspen Cove take care of everyone as if they were a big family.
I would love to read about Violet and Luke one day, who knows, these two, despite the age difference, also can have a happy ending?
I highly recommend the reading.
Excellent addition to the Aspen Cove series. Poppy and Mark finally get their HEA. It was heartening to see Poppy finally stand up to her father about her life and then take matters into her own hands about the man she loves. Poppy’s mom was a wonderful supporting character and I have a feeling her spirit will live on in other books about the Dawson siblings. The conflict in this book lay largely in the past but the HEA came from Mark realizing he was his own man; from Poppy’s assertiveness and ultimately Mr. Dawson’s realization that what his wife had been telling him for years was actually true. Yes, the women are usually right! This was a sweet sweet story and any reader of this series is happy to get reacquainted with past couples in the series, including Doc and Agatha.
Mark and Poppy have loved each other for years but they could never act on it because of what his father did to the Dawson’s years before. Mark has spent years trying to clean his family name so they could finally be together but he has to get Poppy’s fathers approval first. This is such an emotional read and had me shedding tears, so get the Kleenex ready. A well written touching story that had me hooked from the first page until the last. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.
Wish I could give this book more stars than five
because its definitely more like a ten star read.
If you have read any of the books before this one
then you are going to know most of the characters all ready.
Poppy was taking photos at another wedding and at the same time
had here eyes on Mark who she has loved since she was a kid.
Poppy’s had a problem with Mark form something his father done
years ago when Mark was a kid.
Can Poppy and Mark there happy ever after or will there bee to much
pressure from here father on them.
This is a read that involves so many different emotions.
To find out what I mean you are going to have to read it for yourself.

The seventh book in the An Aspen Cove Romance series this is Poppy Dawson and Mark Bancroft, Aspen Cove’s deputy sheriff’s story. It is well written and held my interest throughout. A book I would recommend. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Poppy Dawson and Mark Bancroft have been in love with each other for years, but her father can’t get past that Mark’s father, who was his foreman stole from him. He taints Mark with the same brush so Poppy and Mark have fought their feelings for years. But now Poppy’s mom is dying of ALS and she doesn’t want to be left with any regrets in life, so she’s going after her man. Mark saves Poppy’s life and rounds up townspeople to help with the Poppy’s father’s ranch and his wife’s care, but her father still won’t accept him. It isn’t until Poppy’s mother dies and Mark confronts him after he runs off to hide his pain that he begins to have respect for Mark. It was so sad about Poppy’s mom, but she was feisty and surprising to the end. Poppy bent over backwards and gave up her dreams to support her financially strapped family. I was glad to see her finally going after her own dreams. I loved sexy fire chief Luke, whom Poppy uses to make Mark jealous and I hope he gets his own romance soon.
One Hundred Lifetimes is the seventh book in the Aspen Cove Romance series, but can be read as a stand alone. Poppy and Mark have loved each other for as long as they can remember, but Poppy’s father refuses to see Mark for the man that he’s grown up to become. Poppy decides to finally stand her ground and fight for her love and dreams, but in the middle of her mother’s health declining, can Poppy and Mark finally have the chance of their happily ever after?
Oh my, this book grabbed my heart right from the very beginning and never let go! Poppy and Mark have been wanting each other for over 20 years, but due to the actions of his father, Mark has kept away. I loved Poppy’s take-charge attitude, finally fighting for what she wanted, but I also loved how much she cared for her family and the sacrifices she was willing to make. Mark was just as caring, protective, romantic, patient, and while he was respectful, he was also forceful when needed to get his point across. I loved that the two of them were often on the same page in regards to what they wanted from their future, but I was so sad that so much time was wasted between them. There is some heartbreaking drama that happens in this storyline, so be prepared and bring a few tissues, but the way it brings everyone together is also beautiful. I really enjoyed this romance, I loved Poppy and Mark together, and I just can’t get enough of this series!
Another wonderful visit to a town where we all wished we lived! We know Poppy and Mark from previous stories, but now it is their turn…for love and romance. Poppy Dawson works part time at the Sheriff’s office and has been in love with Mark since childhood. Mark Bancroft, deputy sheriff, has been in love with Poppy as well, but his father, who stole from Poppy’s father, has made their love unattainable…until now. Poppy is tired of waiting and with encouragement from her mother, who is in the latter stages of ALS, Poppy decides to make her move on Mark, with a kiss. Will Poppy stand up to her father and finally convince him that Mark is not like his father, that he is honorable and hard working. Will Mark prove to Poppy’s father that he loves her and that she is the one for him? After every story that I read about Aspen Cove, I am sure that Ms. Collins cannot “top” this one, but then she writes another and I am proven wrong. This is one of my all-time favorite series and if you have not read the series, you should start with book #1, “One Hundred Reasons”. There is love, romance, heart ache, friendship, town loyalty, and hopeful, genuine characters. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
You’re going to need the tissues. It’s just that simple. I haven’t cried this hard over a book in a very long time. And while the story is sweet and wonderful and made me giggle at some of the most inopportune moments, I still feel a little hollow after all the emotions that have been wrung from me. This is another of those books where I don’t know how to say just how amazing Mark and Poppy’s story is without giving away the best parts of the book… Or maybe they’re the “worst” parts because they’re certainly the ones that caused the most pain and had the biggest emotional impact. I know my own personal history affected me in how easily I could identify with Poppy and how deeply I could feel her hurts. All I know for certain is that no matter that I won’t be able to see through my tear-swollen eyes tomorrow, I can’t wait until it’s time to come back to Aspen Cove again.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
Oh my, such a wonderful and lovely love-story. I deeply loved the “Romeo and Juliet” story of Poppy and Mark – true love shining through the all the words written by Kelly Collins. She has dipped her pen in love as she wrote this gut-wrenching love-story about those two people, about the town of Aspen Cove and about Poppy’s family.
This is what the story’s about: Poppy Dawson has spent her entire life wanting what she can’t have—namely Mark Bancroft, Aspen Cove’s deputy sheriff. Growing up the daughter of a cattle rancher, she’d had no time for silly things such as love. But after watching her terminally ill mother wither, Poppy realizes that life is not only unpredictable, it’s short. She has to decide if she’ll settle for the life laid out for her or the life she desires.
Abandoned by his no-good father at the age of eight, Mark Bancroft has spent over twenty years trying to redeem his family name. He’s been a good man. An honest man who’s been in love with Poppy Dawson ever since he can remember. But when his father stole everything from the Dawsons and left town, he took Mark and Poppy’s future with him. Done carrying the burden of his father’s crimes, Mark sets out to win her heart, but first, he must win her father’s respect.
