This was well written and the storyline will draw you in from start to finish. Ash was traveling, playing gigs and doing veterinarian work for the rodeo circuit until she got sick of the guy she was seeing making her look like a fool. Jackson is her big brother but she didn’t want to ask him for help. Returning home after a year and a half, so much had changed.
Mack is on his way home to Stolen Hearts Valley. He stops in a bar and finds Ash playing her guitar and singing. He convinces her to ride back with him instead of hitch hiking. He was working in Colorado, Montana and Idaho with hotshot crews. Now a position is available in Stolen Hearts.
This has insecurities, loss, a surprise and so much more. A another wonderful addition to the Swoon series I would definitely recommend reading. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
The books in this series are all books that have characters that you would love to have has friends they are small town stories that draw you in and keep you engaged. These are sweet stories with a little steam that are the perfect read for any time Can’t recommend the entire series highly enough
In this latest addition we meet Ash (Ashley) Stone she is returning home after a few years and her life has definitely gone off track First she was sent explicit photos of her fiance shortly before the wedding and she walked away then got herself involved in a friends with benefits plan. Now she has had enough she is heading home but taking her time singing at gigs as she works her way home Then one night at a bar after her gig she hears someone call her name it is Mack Blair, her brother’s friend miles away from home He is no hurry to get home so they team up to travel together him hanging around as she does her gigs. He is returning to their home town after wandering for years trying to get over the death of his sister As they travel together it isn’t long before passion rises and they give into temptation something they think they are keeping secret once they arrive home but that would be a no Then things hit a climax when secrets are revealed.
Mack and Ash have known each other since childhood. They meet up years later, on the other side of the country, and take a road trip together back to their hometown. Tensions build and new feelings rise to the surface. Steal My Heart is a best friends sibling romance in the Swoon series by J.H. Croix and told in the dual first-person point of view.
Mack and Ash’s story is an emotionally, steamy and tension-filled trip as they made their way back home. The tension between these two makes the pages seem thicker than they are. The story slows a little bit in the middle but picks right back up again for an emotional ride to the end. As always, J.H. Croix knows how to deliver a great page-turning small town romance. All of the books in the Swoon series are swoon worthy and must read!

Once again this author delivers another swoon worthy read and we finally get Ash’s story, Jackson’s sister who left at the beginning of this series. She is on the road playing gigs at different stops hitchhiking back home to Stolen Hearts Valley. Mack is driving home as well to join the first responder team with Jackson and when he stops at a bar he can’t believe that Ash is playing there. The two haven’t seen each other in years but grew up together and Mack is one of Jackson’s best friend. Mack offers to drive Ash back home and keep her company as she completes her gigs before settling. As the two spend all their time together their attraction grows until its too much and the two can’t keep their hands off each other….but what happens when they are home…her brother….their friends….can they keep it a secret.
Swoon swoon swoon worthy once again and I couldn’t get enough of these two. The build up to their steamy steamy steamy nights was perfect. I LOVED the little to no drama between them, no other women coming between them, the walls tumbling down bit by bit and the open honesty between them especially at the end. The epilogue…..big sigh and I literally melted.

This was a wonderful romance by the talented Ms. Croix. Ash is Jackson’s (This Crazy Love) sister. Ash is a fiercely independent woman, she doesn’t need a man to save her and yet she feels safe in Mack’s arms. Mack is one of Jackson’s friends from childhood. When they bump into each other in Wyoming, a spark of attraction lights up. Mack offers her a ride and they start a road trip through the country as Ash sings and plays guitar. While they initially try to ignore the spark between them, it burns brighter than either of them can stand. When they get back to Stolen Hearts Lodge, they think they can keep their relationship a secret, until Ash turns up pregnant.
Swoon-worthy steamy romance with a HEA!
I received an ARC from the author via Booksprout. This is my honest review.
The last book in this standalone series…
Intricate but not convoluted, yet another compelling detailed story from this gifted author. The main characters had baggage neither could dismiss until they came to a place of healing together. It took time but they had admiration for each other & explosive sexual attraction that couldn’t be denied although it took some time to learn to trust again. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.

OMG!! Just when I think there is no way that J.H. can write a book even better that all of the others, she does! This was such a wonderful romance that made you laugh and cry and then do it all over again. I absolutely love Mack and Ash. They are such a great couple that just doesn’t see themselves as a couple. They both have issues and it is so much fun seeing them deal with them while trying to protect themselves at the same time. And then, a twist that just makes the whole story. Loved it!

When life long friends share Ash and Mack share a cross country ride home, things go from friendly to steamy hot very quickly! Great read about how 2 lost souls find not only peace but each other during their cross country journey home…great characters and story line!
Ash and Mack have known each other forever. When they meet up again in Montana, there is an extra spark that is causing a problem and bringing them closer. This is a fun read with a couple of serious issues the couple deals with along the way to a HEA. Great characters, wonderful friends included, and plenty of hot couple time.

This was another solid offering from this series! Mack is working his way back home when he meets up with Ash singing in a bar. He offers to travel with her to make sure she makes it home safe. I really enjoyed reading their journey to happiness. What a journey it was! I loved them as a couple.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done
Delightful Friends to Lovers!!
Ash took to the road when she found out the man she was to marry that day was cheating on her. Keeping things casual, she is again burnt by the man who is her traveling companion, and has scheduled gigs to pay for finally making her way home.
When she runs into Mack, her brothers’ best friend, he sees her plight and offers to accompany her – both as driver and protector. What both don’t count on is the sizzling attraction which had never existed between them before.
Great character development as we watch these two spar with each other and fight the growing attraction. Pure entertainment, and all the feels.

This is a friends to lovers romance.
They both were running for different reasons. Will they be able to heal each other?
Ashley or Ash, as her friends call her, is broke, without a car and hitchhiking home trying to make some money along the way. After singing her set, she is shocked to see Mack, her brothers best friend.
Mack just happened to be in Wyoming, when he spotted Ash. When he’d looked up and saw her on that stage, she’d taken his breath away. He had forgotten how well she sang and played guitar. But she was totally off limits. You don’t mess around with your best friends sister.
This is a great friends to lovers book that is ignited on a road trip home. Ash has been away for a while now and she is trying to get back home to family and friends. Unfortunately she is broke so she is working her way home. When she is greeted by an old friend her road trip and his home becomes a path to love.
Ash and Mack have several challenges along the way but the chemistry is there and they can’t deny it but can this heat last once they are home? This is a great friends to lovers book that includes all our favorites from this series. I loved this book.
Another great book. Love this series and each book just gets better.
Ash and Mack grew up together in the same small town. Mack left one of his sisters died in an accident that he feels guilty about not being able to save her. He has sworn off long-term relationships because he doesn’t want to go through that kind of hurt again. Ash left after finding out on her wedding day that her fiancée was cheating on her through pictures that his girlfriend sent to her. She finally got tired of her friends with benefits guy sleeping around so she decides to head home. Ash has sworn off men because she can’t seem to pick a good one. She is playing guitar and singing in small bars to earn money to get her home when she runs into Mack who is also headed home for good. Ash agrees to ride with Mack instead of hitchhiking but he has to take her to the gigs she has set up so it take them a few weeks. The electricity between them is too much and will it burn itself out after they give in or will it only get worse after they get home? How will Jackson, her brother and Mack’s best friend, react to them being together? Can they keep it secret like Ash wants or will everyone find out before they can tell Jackson?

Loved these two!!!! Mack and Ash sure stole my heart! Perfect read for an afternoon! Another great story in the swoon series!
I received an ArC of this book and this is my honest review.
**I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review**
Seven books into this series and each one has lived up to the series title!! They are all the swoon-iest!!
I was super excited to see Ash got her own book! For those who haven’t read this series, she was mentioned a few times, but had been off doing her own thing. Steal My Heart was the 7th book in her Swoon Series. The series is connected but they can all be read as stand-alones. I highly recommend checking out the others, if you haven’t!
Ash and Mark run into each other while they are both making there way back home. While they slowly wind through the states, sparks start to fly. When they both let their guards down and Ash became pregnant, could they figure out how to make it work?
The chemistry these two have!! Holy moly!! What a story of love and loss! It was a sweet, fun, and sexy, friends to lovers/brother’s best friend romance!
Ash was on her way back to Stolen hearts valley after Kyle constantly cheated on her while they were playing gigs and she woke up one morning to find him gone, so now she was doing gigs to get the money together. When Ash hears her name called she turns round to find Mack her brother’s best friend. Mack couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Ash on the stage in the bar and he knows that he needs to protect her and get her back safely to Stolen hearts valley where her brother is and where Mack has a job. Now Ash and Mack are stuck together in a hotel room with a chemistry between them that is so hot you can feel it sizzling of the page’s but will they act on it or ignore it. This book is so addictive and I couldn’t put it down as I had to see what would happen next. J H Croix is an amazing author and writer and I definitely recommend you read this book, series and other books by her and you will definitely not be disappointed.
I Voluntarily Reviewed an ARC Copy of this book.
J.H. Croix is an amazing author and Steal My Heart does not disappoint! I have been waiting to read Ash’s story ever since the start of this series and I can’t imagine reading it at a different part of the lives of all the characters. Mack and Ash each have their past demons to get past. Ash has always had lots of relationship issues and has been running for a while. Mack lost his sister and has been hiding his heart so he can’t lose anyone again. When these two have a chance encounter can the sparks that fly bring them both the love they deserve? Will Ash get to keep everything a secret or will life get in the way and put all the cards on the table. I could not put this book down and I highly recommend it. Excellent addition to the Swoon Series!!! Can’t wait to see what comes next!!
