Dani and Wade`s have a past and she doesn’t want it to resurrect itself. The characters are fun and entertaining . will he win her over ….or not? A fabulous story of love lost and found again. I honestly volunteered to review the arc.
Book 4 was another fantastic book in the “Swoon Series,” J.H. Croix continued to write believable storylines and well created characters in “Truly Madly Mine” and Dani and Wade captured my attention from the very first page and kept me totally enraptured until the very last page!
Wade and Dani have some explosive chemistry in Truly Madly Mine! It is an outstanding romance that won’t disappoint. It’s a fantastic addition to the Swoon series! I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.
This talented author continues to impress…
The story itself is outlined in the blurb & by previous reviewers so I won’t comment further. What I can say is that this was yet another flawless page turner as we’ve come to expect from this remarkable gal. I get all the feels with her style of & have never been disappointed. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
I just devour everything JH Croix writes!
The chemistry in this one is smoking hot!
Wade and Dani are back together again after years apart. Dani broke his heart and he never knew why. Now they just pretend and steal heated glances when they know the other isn’t looking.
It’s their turn to tell their story. It’s one of heartache and uncertainty. It runs Hot and Cold. But wade has enough faith for the both of them and he isn’t backing down. He loves Dani always has. He just has to convince her to take a chance on love. Because one thing he knows for sure is that Dani has always been his. They were always meant to be. It just took a heartbreaking journey to get there.
Their HEA is just beautiful and so worth the wait!
“I voluntarily received this arc book for an honest review”
This was a wonderful addition to the series. It really brings understanding to Wade & Dani’s story. It had all the ups and downs that we have come to expect from Ms. Croix. As usual, she really draws you into the lives of her characters and gets you invested in the outcome. Lovely romance!!

This is a good love story where Dani frustrates us for her over-the-top reaction to Wade that we don’t at first understand. And Wade is such a good guy, easy-going and patient, deserving of love. So the reader’s frustration that things are not going right keeps us literally fighting for him to win his girl!
The wonderful writing style of this author makes the story real and the characters come to life and interact with the reader. Good story line and intriguing pull to find out why Dani acts as she does keep the story line moving strongly for the reader. Grab your copy and enjoy their battle for a second chance at love.
4.5 Stars
This is book 4 in the Swoon series and it features Dani and Wade. These two were together in high school. She got pregnant, lost the baby and all without Wade knowing about any of it. Her father forbade her to ever speak to him again. He left for college without knowing what happened and only returned a few years ago. They have this feisty, push and pull, angry but turned on type of friendship/relationship. He still wants her. She still wants him but is terrified at the same time. I don’t see too much change in Dani throughout the book until the epilogue.
The cover is exactly how I pictured these two, minus the curly hair! Fantastic story line! The characters, as always, are magnificent! I can’t wait to see what this author comes out with next.
A wonderful story by the talented Ms. Croix! I’m loving this series!
Dani’s story was so heartbreaking until she took a second chance on her love with Wade.
Once she stopped fighting her attraction to him, their chemistry was smoking hot!
I received an ARC from the author. This is my honest review.
A Fantastic Community with Well Written Characters.
This is one terrific story in a whole series called “Swoon Series” written by the bestselling author, J.H. Croix. This book is number four in the series and it has just as well written a storyline as the first three with the previous characters still around adding color and content. The protagonists here are Dani and Wade who were high school sweethearts until she dropped him suddenly and then he went off to college and stayed away for awhile. He returned three years ago and it’s been tense between them ever sense as they work at Stolen Hearts Lodge. She is the head chef and manager while he is part of the rescue team.
There is a long held secret Dani must decide what to do with in order to come to terms with Wade. Can she do that?
Bottom Line: Another great story that held my interest due to this community of characters that the author is writing the series around. Highly recommend.
I received this ARC for my honest review so I’m leaving this for your consideration. Peace.
A swoon-worthy, second chance holiday romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!
A really great second chance romance. I loved Dani and Wade’s story. The book captivated me from the beginning and left me with a smile. I’m anxious for the next book in the series.
I received the book for free but truly loved it and voluntarily leave my review.
Dani and Wade have a complicated history but their future is suspenseful and intriguing. Dani secrets come to light and you wonder if the couple will be able to make it through the tough times. Wade was a great character. He was there for Dani no matter how many times she would avoid him or push him away.
This was a second chance romance that you will enjoy. I am a big fan of J H Croix and look forward to the next story.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion.
I like that a sensitive topic was addressed. Not only do you get romance but also a lesson in how to handle the issue. Personally have not gone through it but heard a few people who have.
Finally Dani and Wade’s story!
Their second chance story is definition of swoon worthy! There is a lot of angst between them and I was frustrated at times with both of them, but it is so worth it in the end! I loved the two of them together, they are just perfect for each other and the epilogue warmed my heart.
Can’t wait to read more!
I received an advanced copy of this book from BadBoyUpdate and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
Dani is all over Stolen Hearts Lodge: she doesn’t only run the kitchen, but she also subs in pretty much every role. Although she seems to know everyone and everything there is to know about them, few really, truly know her. One who does is Wade, the man who she seems most prickly towards. People don’t get why his light teasing triggers such strong reactions from her, and Wade doesn’t either, until the chemistry between them that Dani has been hopelessly trying to avoid finally takes hold and throws Dani into a tailspin.
From the get go, it was understood that Dani was going to be a tough nut to crack, so it was gloriously wonderful to see her lose her grip on her emotional control and being forced to face her past, which was so intricately linked to her feelings for Wade. The whole situation brought out her fragile and vulnerable side, which gave us a softer Dani to discover. As for Wade, his patience and easygoing attitude won me over, and the more we got to know him, the harder I fell. I loved Dani and Wade’s second chance journey and was cheering them along the entire book!

I loved this book. Dani and Wade dated in high school and then one day Dani broke up with him without a reason. He was heartbroken and angry with her. Now that he is back she has been avoiding him and is really snappy with him. When he finds out the real reason she broke up with him his heart starts to heal and his anger starts to dissipate. Now can he convince her to give them a second chance?
I got teary-eyed a couple of times with what Dani went through and the mental anguish she keeps putting herself through. Then she has the guilt of blaming Wade when she knows it wasn’t his fault and for not telling him sooner.
I have been waiting for Dani and Wade’s story!! If you have been reading J.H.’s Swoon Series then you will have had a taste of this amazing couple! This series has truly been swoon worthy!! I love that all the couples are interconnected so you have a chance to get to know them before, during and after!!
Dani and Wade have a past and if it were up to her, that’s where their relationship would stay; but Wade doesn’t seem to be on the same page. She left him once, and now he was determined to get her to stay. What will happen when Dani reveals why she left all those years ago? Will it end their relationship before it starts again or will it bring them to the next level?
Such a sweet second chance romance!! I loved the two of them together. I can’t wait to see more as the series continues!!
I received a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Theres a reason this series is the Swoon series, these boys will make you do just that…Swoon! Such a great read, second chance romance but with some twists. Amazing characters that you cannot help but love, sexy/sweet story just perfect for a snowy winter day!

Truely Madly Mine is another fantastic book in this phenomenal series.
Dani and Wade have quite some history and the reader gets to know it step by step…
I loved how real the characters felt with all their emotions ranging from heartache to all-consuming love.
I loved Dani with all her sass and mixed emotions, but sometimes I wanted to shake some sense into her…
And Wade? I fell hard for his determined, charming and heart-warming personality…
A match made in heaven, with some serious bumps along the way.
Like every other book by Ms. Croix also this one sent me on an emotional rollercoaster ride because of its intensity and I loved every single minute I spent with this book and its memorable protagonists.
