Taking Chances by Laura Farr is the first book in the Healing Hearts series. The story had great moments – sweet, sexy, suspenseful, and fun. The characters are interesting and made me care about them and their future. We hear the story through Libby’s point of view. I have to say that there is a definite part where I wanted to smack Libby for being a dumb@$$. I hate those big misunderstanding moments. I mean yes, it gives the reader the angst and drama but I just feel books so the emotion really got to me. But that’s also I sign of a good book, making you feel, right?! I definitely have to read the rest of the series now.
Oh my word! I would never have thought in a million years that this was the debut book by this author. I have absolutely loved reading each and every page and what a page turner this story is. I devoured the book in one day!! I love a book that has all the feels and this one certainly did. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve swooned and I’ve felt angst… this book has it all! The characters are amazing….and I’m really hoping that we have more books to make a series telling the supporting characters stories, but this book was about Mason and Libby and their roller coaster of a journey trying to build a relationship together. Do they succeed? You will have to read the book yourself to find out but I promise you that you will not be disappointed.
I loved and enjoyed reading this book so much. Debut author Laura Farr did an amazing job with this story. I just couldn’t put it down. Definitely a 5 star read for me! I am hoping to get Savannah’s story next 🙂

But being around the memories is still dragging her down and she decides to take a trip to her aunt in the States. When she meets Mason, slowly but surely he is healing her heart but when his past comes to haunt them, Libby will have to decide if Mason’s worth taking a chance on…
One of the greatest debuts I’ve ever read. Taking Chances is an emotive, heartfelt love story that defies the odds, that heals the characters, and that gives you hope for more.
I was so captivated and invested in Mason and Libby’s story, it took me back to the first time I discovered Kelly Elliott’s Wanted and it’s the perfect summer read for fans of Gunner and Ellie. Mason has the whole sexy, bad boy cowboy thing going on, but he’s also breathtakingly romantic. Libby is a relatable heroine, with insecurities like we all experience, and the kindest of hearts. It made this sweet romance even sweeter, and I felt like I was experiencing the best sugar rush reading it. Seriously someone check my teeth for cavities! I cannot stop swooning! I need a fainting couch NOW.
