He’s leaving town—just as soon as he can tear himself away from the oh-so-tempting Kelly. Can … oh-so-tempting Kelly.
Can Kelly and Gabe work out what they really want, or is their connection just passing through?

WHOA. WHOA. WHOA. Sarah blew my mind with this one! The rest of the series I was so freaking sure that Kelly’s guy was going to be Vince; and then BAM!! Gabe’s sexy ass walks into The Elk and shakes up her world!
I absolutely loved the two of them together. Their chemistry was so strong, and their genuine friendship made the whole story just perfect! They were there to get each other’s stubborn heads straight, and supported each other when it got tough.
I can’t wait to see what happens next in Twin Elks!!
A wonderful addition to the Passing Through series! As much as I loved Finn in Ticket to Ride, I think perhaps Gabe surpassed him in my affections. Sarah Hegger writes incredible characters. Their deepest thoughts, visceral reactions, and earnest feelings are all painted in a way to make us see, feel, and relate to each and every one. You KNOW these people. You FEEL their chemistry. As long as Ms. Hegger continues to write, I’ll continue to buy her books. She has, without a doubt, become one of my all-time favorite authors. Buy this book—you won’t be sorry.
Ever sInce high school, Kelly Ashford has been pining after her the one that got away. She is determined to rekindle their relationship but an obstacle has arrived in the form of Gabe Crow. Gabe has come back home in Twin Elks, but says he’s not Going to stay. Now she is torn between the two men.
This is a small town romantic comedy set in Twin Elks. The characters are extremely well crafted with engaging personalities complete with strengths and weakness. They draw you into the story and make you want to see how it ends. The narrative switches between Kelly and Gabe’s point of view, allowing the reader to gather their background information, past emotional experiences, motivations and actions. The author takes us on an emotional rollercoaster as the two main characters grapple with their internal struggles and external obstacles. The storyline runs smoothly complete with romance, love triangle, humour, touching moments and real life struggles. I liked the complexity of the story with all the drama and surprises that life throws at you. I also like how the story dealt with some less slavery situations and how the townspeople had each other’s backs. If you enjoy excellently written contemporary, small town romances with great characters you will like this book. I suggest you start with book one in the series but it can also be read as a stand-alone.

Never know what will happen when you run into an old friend
I am in love with Gabe and ready to take on Kelly to have him!!! Well at least in my mind I am after reading Walk On By, the third book in the Passing Through series by Sarah Hegger.
Kelly is the local coffee shop owner who is so fantastic you just want to have her as your best girlfriend. She is single and ready to get herself a piece of Vince, her high school guy, or so it looked like in the previous book.
Gabe is super sexy, smart and really fun. He has come home to Twin Elks from where he lives in Australia for his brother’s wedding and a short visit, or so he believes. Little does he realize that the old thing called fate has other plans for him.
Kelly and Gabe rekindle their friendship and it leads to things neither ever anticipated or were looking for. Sometimes you just need to roll with it in order to see where you end up, which is hopefully in the arms of the one you were meant to be with.
Sarah Hegger has once again woven an great story-line with wonderful characters and made a fantastic book that you can’t put down. I would recommend the Passing Through series to anyone who loves comedic romances with a great big scoop of heart.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
The story of Gabe and Kelly is full of high key drama. Reading this book is like taking a rollercoaster ride–you never know what’s going to happen next. And it could be confusing with so many main and supporting characters not knowing who they really wanted. But overall it’s still an enjoyable read.

The Passing Through series has quickly become a fun and entertaining series. They are fun to read, entertaining and enjoyable and have some laugh out loud moments. Walk on By is no exception and even though it’s part of a series, can be read as a stand alone book. Characters from the previous books do appear in Walk on By. Since I don’t want to give any spoilers I’ll leave this as my description of the book. Highly recommend!

No matter where you roam, there’s nothing like being with family and friends. A place where you know you can rely on to always welcome you with open arms. Such is the small town where Gabe grew up and has returned, licking his wounds. Kelly has lived in this wonderful small town and rekindles her friendship with Gabe. But oh there’s a love triangle and other drama mixed in. Gabe and Kelly cannot seem to see the forest for all the trees. Plus it takes quite a while for these two to finally get on the same path.

I enjoyed this book. This is a emotional story about the often big differences between what your mind and your heart will tell you that you want. I liked Kelly and Gabe. I thought that these two were very relatable but in different ways. Kelly’s long clung to ideal of “The One That Got Away” came across as genuine and I think it will strike a chord with readers. It is something I feel we are all guilty of, whether we will admit it or not. Be it someone we actually know or that perfect fantasy someone we dream of being with. As for Gabe, the emotional baggage he carries effects everything in his life. Add drama, emotional turmoil and tension to unplanned attraction and undeniable desire and you have a very moving read.
This is a well written book with strong characters in Kelly and Gabe. The author does a great job building the story after their one night stand. She brings an interesting story with her being interested in one man but still has Kelly and Gabe gravitating back to each other no matter how much they fight it. There’s tons of emotions and fun times and a great cast of supporting characters. I enjoyed reading their story.

Whatever makes you happy – what we think we want is not always what we need…
This plot took me by surprise. I was sure the story will go into completely different direction. I have to say I just deep dive into the story not fully reading the blurb. It was very emotional journey, full of struggle from both hero and heroine side. Sometimes we are so fixed on what ifs that we do not give another chance to anyone or anything that just suddenly pops into our lives. Meddling parents and family in need, ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends, small town gossip and praying chain… Overwhelming grief and guilt. All that mixed up and what I read was one of the most interesting stories I have a pleasure read lately.
It was so good to have a glimpse into the life of other two couples I had a chance to meet in the previous two parts of the series. It won’t impact your reading experience if you start with this one but reading previous two parts will for sure give the more insight into the situation both main characters are presented in this book. I recommend this book if what you are looking for is heart-warming romance with a bumpy road to the happily ever after. There’s not too much angst or drama, there are some heartbreaking moments and might be that some tears were shed but it was great reading experience for me.
Gabe found a passion for animal rescue as a child. As a young veterinarian, he fell in love with shark rescue and research. He had a relationship with a charming Australian whom he told he was not interested in marrying. Since her dad ran the project, his return for the wedding of his brother Ben to Poppy turned into an extended stay while he contemplated next steps.
Funny thing about Twin Elks – it seems to grow on people.
Kelly found herself in love with Poppy as a best friend. Now that Vince was single again, she thought they might start something- but so far? Nothing!
Maybe some shaking up is just what Gabe, Kelly and some unexpected additional friends and family need!
Touching romance and finding yourself read!

Gabe is back home for the first time in years and is already counting down the days until he can leave again. While drowning his sorrows at the bar he runs into Kelly and let’s just say they have an unforgettable night. The only problem is that Kelly finally has a chance with her highschool sweetheart and Gabe will not be sticking around. They decide on friendship but underneath it all is a sexual chemistry that can not be denied. Apart from this relationship sputtering to start there is also a whole lot going on in this book. At times it was almost to much to digest. Between sisters and abusive husbands, ex lovers reaking havoc, and severe indecisiveness this book had a lot to keep track of. The main characters were great though and when they gave into their chemistry it was absolutely amazing. I just wish it was a little less cluttered with background stuff.
