תגידי שאני שלך

The Hennington Brothers #3

by Corinne Michaels, קורין מייקלס, מילי שמידט (Translator)

במשך עשרים שנה חיכיתי

שטרנט הנינגטון
יפקח את העיניים ויראה אותי.

אבל הכול היה לשווא. הוא בחר להסתגר מפניי ולתת לי לעזוב, והוכיח שהזמן והמאמצים שהשקעתי בו היו בזבוז מוחלט.

סיימתי להיות בלתי נראית.
הגיע הזמן להמשיך הלאה.

ריקוד אחד דוחף אותי לכיוון חדש בחיים, ואני מוכנה לאמץ אותו. אחרי הכול, קופר טאונסנד מושלם. הוא אדיב, סקסי וקשוב – כל מה שבחורה יכולה לרצות.

חשבתי שהפעם הצליח לי.
שהלב שלי יוכל להחלים, שאהיה מאושרת.
מתברר שיש דברים שקשה מדי לעזוב.

[Karen Mc · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sometimes you read a book that is so beautiful that you’re left in a haze, floating in the air where life is more precious from above. I finished Say I'm Yours by Corinne Michaels days ago but it feels as if I'm still stuck in this story. Say I'm Yours rendered me in a dreamy daze---a story stupor---where I'm in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, drifting, going through the motions while my emotions are still entangled around these beautiful words. Passionately poignant and breathtakingly beautiful, Say I'm Yours hits the heart hard and slays the soul. Oh was my SOUL SLAYED!!!



Have you ever read a story that stole your soul and broke your heart on the very first page?
One page and...
Say I'm Yours hijacked my heart...breaking it...BREAKING ME.
One page and...
Say I'm Yours consumed me, claiming every part of me, commanding every feel.
One page and...
I was ALL IN…body…heart…soul…everything.
One page and...
I sank so fast where I was drowning in these words that crashed into me like big waves.
One page and...
I was screaming, "MINE!"

I knew the oldest Hennington brother's story would break me and that it did. Trent was the Hennington that hijacked my heart the most, the one who may never leave me. Gracie has given 20 years of her life---along with her whole heart---to a man who won't give all of his heart to her. Trent has always considered Gracie the only woman for him, but has let his fears come first, treating Gracie more like silver when she is nothing but pure gold.

"If you ever loved me, even a little bit, you'll let me go."

Beautiful Gracie with her dark hair, blue eyes, and huge heart loves her childhood sweetheart, Trent Hennington, but she is done waiting for him to make her wholeheartedly his. I loved this gal, so sweet and strong!

"You forgot the part about where I want to be someone's world."

"You forgot the part where you already are."

I held on, trying to stay strong, but tears trickled down my face, raindrops of sorrow and salvation.

Say I'm Yours has ALL of the ANGST!!! The PASSION POUNDED into me! My soul spun and my heart melted, a mix of sorrow and swoon, where I FELT ALL THE FEELS. These words shot sparks to my soul. These words made my heart beat out of its chest. These words WERE EVERYTHING!!! Say I'm Yours WAS EVERYTHING...MY EVERYTHING!

Oh Trent! Gorgeous blond-haired, blue-eyed, tall, muscular, and all-alpha Trent, I knew this man would be the most complex and broken brother, the one with a huge heart hidden under years of fears and layers of pain. I LOVED this sweet but stubborn man!



The passion penetrated between Gracie and Trent, as their love was raw. I FELT THEIR IMPENETRABLE CONNECTION, so caring and combustible. I LOVED Trent and Gracie together, and LOVED their story soooo hard! This couple felt REAL with their situation and happenings RELATABLE, as if their story could really happen, and that made Say I'm Yours even more special. This childhood love, the kind from soulmates, the one you root for to last forever had me rooting for this couple to last a lifetime. If only Trent would see the light through the dark, the light that is Gracie, his shining star who has guided him for a lifetime.

"It's only ever been you."

Trent TOOK MY TEARS!!! I felt his heartbreak, emphasized with his struggles, and knew this man was everything GREAT!!! I SWOONED HARD as these soul-wielding words clamped down on my heart, squeezing so many emotions out as I fell even more deeply in love with this story and this beautiful couple. Emotional ecstasy. Say I'm Yours was EMOTIONAL ECSTASY!!! I breathed every bit of Say I'm Yours in, some breaths bated, wanting it to last forever.



I gave my heart to Say I'm Yours, my whole heart, where it still remains long after I turned the last page. I gave my soul to this story—as if I had a choice—for it to be sucked in like a song, dragging me in, pulling me under, like a big wave. This soul-searing story struck me like a storm, fast and furiously, where I could only succumb to the words that were my world. Words...mere WORDS…rendered me so full of FEELS where I still felt and am feeling everything long after the story has stopped.

Say I'm Yours SLAYED MY SOUL. Say I'm Yours HIJACKED MY HEART. Say I'm Yours had my heart in its hands, shaking it, willing it to shatter, and shatter it did in spades. Say I'm Yours BROKE ME. Say I'm Yours BLEW ME AWAY!!! Say I'm Yours became MINE.

Say I'm Yours is not simply a broken and beautiful romance; it’s a story about LIFE AND LIVING. It’s about taking that LEAP OF FAITH...LIVING FOR THE MOMENT...LIVING LIFE NOW. EVERY WORD MATTERS that Corinne Michaels pens to life, so beautiful and brilliant. This author writes with all of her heart and steals readers’ hearts along the way. Say I'm Yours stole every piece of me in a story that is a top 2017 read and story I'll fondly remember for life. Penned like paint to a canvas, so vivid and valuable, Say I'm Yours is one of those books that THAT SLAY YOUR SOUL AND OWN YOU FOR LIFE.

This love story is MAGNETIC, so MAGICAL that you can't help but MELT, falling in love with every word in Say I'm Yours. My heart is still reeling and racing. These characters won’t stop dancing in my head. This tale took my tears, still imprinted in my eyes. This story stamped itself all over my soul, slaying every ounce. Say I'm Yours took everything out of me because this heartfelt story was MY EVERYTHING! My soul is still soaring high, as Say I'm Yours made itself MINE, claiming me from the first page in a heartfelt romance that will OWN ME for life. ❤️

4.5 stars!!!



Say I’m Yours is an emotional, remarkable, and beautifully written second chance romance. These Hennington brothers sure do bring the feels. And that is exactly why these books are perfect for a reader like me. I love nothing more than to FEEL when I read. And Corinne always brings the feels.

Trent Hennington is the oldest of the Hennington brothers. He’s the town sheriff and although he’s only loved one woman in his life, he’s never committed to her. And now he’s lost her.

She’s the girl I love. The girl I’ve always loved but was too stupid to hold on to. That won’t happen again.


Grace loves Trent Hennington more than anything. But she’s tired of constantly feeling not good enough. She’s in her mid-late thirties. She’s not young anymore. She wants to be with someone who will settle down with her, marry her, have children with her. She wants it all. And Trent has proven over and over again he's not the man to give it to her.



It puts Grace in a hard place. Trent is the only man she wants, he’s her true love. But it’s been twenty years. How long can one woman wait? So she does her best and tries to move on. Being single in a small town isn’t easy, but her best friends brother, Cooper Townsend has always been there. He likes Grace and asks her out. So why not? She’s got to put herself out there and at least try.



Cooper is Presley’s brother and a true gentleman and sweetheart. You can’t help but to love him. Of course when Trent hears Grace is going on a date with him, he doesn’t make it easy. Grace must decide if Trent is worth fighting for and truly taking a chance on again, or if she should go the safe path with someone like Coop…



Oh my Trent. My heart broke for this man. He was one of those guys who didn’t know what he had till it was gone, but once it was, he fought like heck to keep her. I truly felt for him and why he was the way he was and felt the way he did. Grace was great as well. Things got a little angsty between them and with the whole Cooper thing, and it could have been plain messy, but it wasn’t. Grace was a class act.

I love this whole crew and the small town feel these books have. Even though all of the Hennington brothers have their own books, I hope there are more books in this series. Say I’m Yours is a stunning and heartfelt second chance romance. It’s a book that made me feel, made me smile and made my heart soar. I loved it so much and give it a full 5 stars!

“Say I’m yours,” he demands.
I don’t hesitate. “You’re mine.”
“Say you’re mine.”
“I’ve only ever been yours.”

Corinne Michaels brings the town of Bell Buckle, Tenn alive again with the story of Trent Hennington and Grace Morley. The last Hennington son to find love, except he's had his love for 20 years and has been afraid to give his heart completely.

This book tugs on all the feels. It's frustrating, it's sweet, it's tearful, its emotional and it's loving. Trent and Gracie have such a special relationship. They love each other but Trent won't commit and after 20 years, Grace decides that she has to move on. Maybe Trent isn't her Mr Right after all. Cooper Townsend, Trent's friend and her best friend's brother thinks he maybe her Mr. Right. But can Grace's heart really move on when she has given it to Trent? When Grace decides to give Cooper a chance, will it be the wake up call that Trent needs to see that the only woman he has only ever loved and who really gets him is really leaving him for good?

While trying to get Trent and Gracie on the same page, the whole gang is ever present and meddling. A small town is where everyone knows everybody's business. The whole gang adds a special warmth to the story that makes it even more sentimental and special.

I will say that this story is so much more than Trent finally seeing the light. There are pivotal moments that will trigger all your emotions. Be prepared to laugh, cry, get mad, get happy and to love. I will say that the direction the author took the story felt very real and genuine. To share with you would be to spoil the beautiful, frustrating, emotional story that is Say I'm Yours. I love Bell Buckle, the author's characters and her very sweet and and moving words.

I kiss him as if he’s everything. I kiss him with every fiber in my being. He’s the same man he’s always been, and I’ll show him that. He’s lost, and I want to help him find his way. If this is all I can do, I’ll be the balm to his pain.
I’ll save him by loving him.







SAY I’M YOURS is the story of the oldest Hennington brother, Trent. It can be read as a standalone. I haven’t read the previous two books and in the beginning of the story I was a little lost as to why the Heroine was so frustrated with Trent, but as the story unfolds you will get all the details surrounding the couple's long and tumultuous history. When I say LONG, I am not exaggerating. This couple has been dating for TWENTY YEARS!! Trent and Grace have been together since she was sixteen and he was twenty-one. This is a story of first love and second chances. There’s plenty of steam and a whole lot of angst! I was thoroughly entertained!







Grace Rooney is a very likable Heroine. She’s a gal I’d be friends with and could see myself watching a chic flick and chowing down on junk food with her as well. Her only flaw is that she loves Trent a little too much and let him get away with more than he deserved. Grace is one of those women who dreams of marrying her true love and having a family with him, so why she let Trent get away with not committing to her and ”putting a ring on it”, completely baffled me. Honestly, I don’t think there is a woman out there who would wait twenty years to get that proposal. Granted she was sixteen when they started dating, but she’s now thirty-six and the woman wants to have children!







Trent Hennington is one hell of a sexy alpha male, but he’s seriously messed up inside. He’s the town Sheriff and he’s witnessed things that have scared him off from committing to a serious relationship with Grace. He’s kept her dangling by a thread for years. Every time she tries to walk away, he puts on the charm and reels her back in. He has a very hard time expressing his true feelings and ends up keeping everything bottled up inside. He’s in for a rude awakening when Grace finally has the strength to leave him because she knows she deserves more and she’s not willing to settle for less. When another man starts showing interest, it’s just the motivation Trent needs to get his act together.




Trent has been playing this push and pull game with Grace for many years now. She’s not easily swayed this time out. Her fear of having her heart torn apart again keeps her from welcoming Trent back into her arms.






Is Trent ready to commit to a forever with Grace? Will he be able to win back her heart? Or has he finally used up all his chances with her?




I really enjoyed reading this story and I loved how it wasn’t completely predictable. There’s an unexpected twist that came out of left field. Believe me, there is no way any reader will see this coming. Well now that I’ve met the eldest Hennington brother, I think I’m going to have to make it a point to meet the other two and their lady loves as well!!

“Say I’m yours,” he demands.
I don’t hesitate. “You’re mine.”
“Say you’re mine.”
“I’ve only ever been yours.”

What a wonderfully ANGSTY and HEART-WARMING romance!! While this could technically be considered a second chance romance, the story was actually a little more complicated than that. Grace and Trent had been in love with each other for over twenty years. They were everything to each other, but their relationship had been through some rough patches. For reasons he couldn't share with her, Trent shied away from ever telling her he loved her, even though he felt it in his heart and showed her through his actions. He'd never looked at another woman and had always only loved Grace but was held back because of the things that haunted him. She wanted a love like her parents had -- she wanted marriage, a family, and the kind of commitment that his demons wouldn't allow him to reach for. When things got rough enough to push them to a breaking point, she left. For good. And tried to move on with someone else. He knew he'd made mistakes but losing her like that showed him that no matter what he had been worried about with regards to their future, nothing could possibly be worse than losing her and he also realized that this was his last chance to make things right. He knew that and acted on it by doing absolutely everything in his power to win back the heart of the only woman he had ever loved.

I'm going to really honest with you, for reasons that I'll explain more in depth in a minute, I frankly really disliked the first half of the book. However, the reason this book is still a favorite of mine and even truly a whole-hearted top recommendation is that I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED the second half. Like LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!! It was filled with SWOOON, DEEP FEELS, and absolutely everything I crave reading in romance. Just GORGEOUS!! So overall, I'd easily call this book a new favorite. However, I will explain everything in more detail...

Basically, the reason I disliked the first half of the book was that it was exactly the kind of angsty drama I least enjoy. Like literally the moment that Grace broke up with Trent in hopes that he'd come to his senses, everyone in her life pushed her to start dating this other dude, Cooper, who among other things was one of Trent's close friends. I found this wrong on so many levels. First, I don't believe in walking away from a relationship to show to the other person what they're missing. And second, I feel like the advice that everyone (especially her friend Angie) kept giving her to date Cooper was very gender hypocritical -- Grace was being encouraged to leave Trent to show him what he was missing and make him fight for her and also being encouraged to sleep with another guy. If the gender roles had been reversed and the guy left the girl to show her what she was missing and then immediately went out and slept with another girl, that would just solidify his status as a complete asshole. So the whole thing was unfair. And even Trent pointed out that in all their years of good and bad, he'd never even looked at another girl so like... WTF?

“I thought that maybe you’d see it. See what is right in front of your face. But I guess I was wrong… You’ve known me a long time. Have I ever been with another woman?”
Shame creeps into my stomach and I drop my eyes to my hands. “No.”
“No.” Trent repeats. “Not one other woman has been in my heart or my bed. It’s only ever been you.”

Now, I'm not saying he was a saint because he certainly had his share of failures and mistakes but I was actually fully on Team Trent for the first half of the book. Perhaps if we had seen flashbacks to scenes in the past where he'd done her wrong, then I would have understood her position more but I generally I just felt that what she did was unfair and wrong and I didn't agree with the way she handled her relationship. He actually had a genuine reason for why he'd held back from the type of commitment she wanted and I feel like she really should have dug harder to get that.

“I’ve missed you, Gracie.”
“You only miss me because you don’t have me,” I somehow manage to say.
He lets out a low chuckle before his mouth brushes against mine. “I miss you because I hate bein’ away from you.”

And finally, the main reason I hate love triangles is that I don't like spending half the book building up a relationship with the wrong guy when you as the reader knowwww without a doubt who the real hero of the story is. It's like... what's the point? AND again with the hypocrisy where lets be honest, if he left her and immediately started dating someone else, there's no way she'd take him back. So just UGH. I disliked the first half of the book. HOWEVER. At 55%, the tides turned AND I FREAKING LOOOOVED THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK!!!!!!! Totally LOVED IT!

“I’m going to fix this,” he promises. “I’m going to show you how much we belong together. I know I’ve messed up. I’ve given you every reason to walk away. But I can’t lose you.”
“Why?” I ask… “Why now?
Trent’s hand brushes me cheek. “Because you’re mine. You’re my girl.”

As I mentioned above, it was hard for me to know exactly what it was that Trent did wrong over the years (other than not commit in a marriage-y way) because we didn't get to see their fights first hand but, despite his mistakes, from what I could see of him, I absolutely LOVED him!!! When he knew everything was on the line to win back her heart, he jumped in full throttle. He was SWEET, LOVING, CARING, SWOOOOOOOONY, and willing to fight like hell for the woman he loved and always had loved. He was a protector by nature and I genuinely adored his character.

“Do you love me?” I ask.
His hand stops moving, and his eyes lock with mine. “I love you.”
“I need to hear it. I need you to mean it. I’m going to be needy. I’m going to question you. I’ve had almost twenty years of doubting us, can you handle that?”
Trent’s hands move to my face. His eyes are sad and full of regret. “I did this to you. I hate that I did. I hate that I put any doubt in your head. You’ve going to have to forgive me and I’m going to have to earn that. I know this, and it isn’t anything less than I deserve. I won’t do that to you again, Gracie. I won’t hurt you like that. I plan to tell you that I love you every day, because I do.”

The second half of the book was completely my kind of story! Like all the freaking way!! It was everything I love to read most in romance. I loved watching Trent win back Grace's trust, show her that the love she'd always felt for him was not only returned but cherished. I swooned over and over again over how sweet and wonderful he was, and especially appreciated how much it was reinforced that if one of them faltered, the other would always have their back.

But their new-found trust in each other was put to the test when a long-kept secret rocked Trent's world and brought him to his knees. It was intense, it was shocking to him, and it changed everything he thought he knew about his world. But I absolutely loved seeing them work through this crisis together and really take their relationship to the next level with the way they supported each other through it.

If there’s one thing I can’t resist in my life, it’s him. He knows what he’s doing and always has. Trent is the one thing I can’t quit. My heart has always belonged to him.

Gah. The whole last half of the book was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! Not only was it a beautiful romance, but it was a HEART-FELT story of deep family bonds that brought tears to my eyes. OH MY GOSH, THE FEEEEEELS!!! My heart never stopped racing and I couldn't read the pages fast enough! It was gorgeous, romantic, a little heart-breaking, but so incredibly fulfilling. It was everything I could have hoped for from this love story!

Rating: 4.5 stars (specifically for the second half of the book).
Adult Contemporary Romance. Can standalone.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Corinne does this to me with every book she writes, she blows me away with her writing, the story and journey she creates, and the feelings she evokes from me.

Trent Hennigton is just SWOON! I've wanted Trent's story for ages, but this will make you see him so differently and fall in love with him even more. And of course Grace - she is strong, kind, and resilient. A wonderful book with some brilliant characters, and of course plenty of our other favourites from Bell Buckle.

I'm not giving away any spoilers about the story line itself, or what happens, but trust me when I say this is yet another wonderful book from Corinne that you WILL NOT want to miss!! It will make you feel every single emotion out there and more. I laughed and I cried, I swooned and I sobbed, I got cross and I was satisfied... Corinne really is a wonderful story teller!! Full of emotion, angst, twists, turns and surprises, it is everything we have come to want and get excited about from Corinne and OH SO MUCH MORE!!!

An absolute must read!!

Trent is finally HERE! OMG, this book. With Corinne I never know what to expect. Even when I try to predict things I am usually wrong or just when I think things are safe, I am proven wrong again. With Say I’m Yours I anxiously read just waiting to see what curveball Corinne would throw at us. Little did I know the first curveball would be my heart breaking for Grace.

Grace and Trent have been together for twenty years, but he has never fully committed to her. First, I can’t even imagine hanging on that long. Then when I read the first chapter I immediately got Grace and my heart hurt for her. I felt her pain and just wanted the best for her. Lastly, you should know I am not a fan of second chance romances, they create doubt for me. So I was a fully supporting Grace finding her true love with however that might be.

However, the further I read the more I was questioning everything I felt. Reading Grace and Trent’s point of view allowed me to see the full story and get all their feelings. It allowed me to understand them both so clearly and in the end, I was cheering for these two. Corinne delivered their story in such a way that you had to cheer for them. You could see and feel that they both deserved their epic love.

I love how well the characters were developed and how their story immediately pulled you in. The writing was raw, emotional and gave me all the feels! If you haven’t read any of these books I suggest jumping in immediately. If you have read even one I know you are ready for more Henningtons and don't need any convincing!

4 I Am Tired Of Waiting Around For You! Stars

Questions swirled right out of the gate concerning the oldest Hennington brother. Is he really this much of a jerk, or is Grace just that weak? There must be underlying issues for Trent's behavior, right? Is he redeemable? Will Grace discover her inner strength and regain any independence?

I was intrigued, and baffled, and I had to find out what roads their relationship was going to take.

"Don't walk away from me!" ..... "Grace!"

"I'm done." ..... "I'm done only being good enough when it's convenient for you. I'm done being the girl who's waitin' around, hoping you'll finally admit that you love her. I can't do it anymore. You're killing me."

Grace has loved Trent for as long as she can remember. Twenty long, stupid years! She is sick and tired of waiting for him to claim her as his girl. Tired of loving a man who will never reciprocate those feelings and marry her. All she is to him is a part-time lover.

Although she is still madly in love with Trent, it is time to move on. There is another man who is quite interested in dating her. She doesn't want to lead him on though, but dang, he is so fine looking. Unfortunately that man is her best friend's brother. He and Trent are also childhood friends, at least they were. Yep, this is probably a really bad idea, but then again, maybe not!

Trent cannot figure out what has gotten into Grace. He cannot believe she is actually going out on a date with another guy, and not just any guy, but a supposed friend. Everyone knows Grace is HIS!! Yeah, yeah, he has commitment issues and pulls away from her, but he apologizes and she always comes back to him. There is no way he is going to let her date another man right in front of him, no way he is going to lose her. He will go insane! She has always known the score, and surely she knows by now he has always loved her, but just has no desire to marry. He is fighting too many demons.

This was a sweet story I read in nearly one sitting. My questions were answered, and for the most part, to my satisfaction. At first I wasn't routing for Trent at all, but he did redeem himself and I found myself on team Trent. However, I could have stood a bit more groveling on his part. I was pleased with their HEA and the overall ending. A few curve balls were thrown into the mix, which added intrigue.

I loved these characters and totally enjoyed this series!

Yay! Looks like we will be getting Cooper's story in a novella next spring.

[Maria✦❋Steamy Reads Blog❋✦ · Rating 3 out of 5]

➦Well, after reading all three books in this series back to back, I can say that I enjoyed this one but not as much as the first two installments. This novel is about a woman who has been in love with a man for 20 years. And for all those years he wasn't willing to commit to her.

➦So when she finally takes a stand and says it's over, like REALLY OVER, and decides to start dating other people, Mr. Commitment-phobe has an epiphany!


➦Is it a bit too late now? Will he win her back?


➦I, personally, didn't think there was enough groveling, for one. As well as not enough angst. The emotional parts were not really related to the relationship, but rather some family drama. I'm normally not a big fan of that but it sort of kind of worked here. The only problem, it didn't pack a punch like the previous two books. I needed to be devastated and then put back together. Overall, an enjoyable read.

This is me before I started Say I'm Yours



I was in the mood for some major feels and stalked the 'Zon until I was finally able to download it. And yeah, I might've done that fancy jazz handsy move when it finally landed on my kindle. I'm peppy like that.

Unfortunately, my reaction after finishing Grace and Trent's story was a little bit of this.



I'll start by saying I enjoy Corinne Michaels writing overall and for the most part, my time spent back in Belle Buckle was good. My only real issue was, well, I guess the actual issues themselves.

Angsty situation numero uno: Forty year old Trent still won't commit to his girlfriend of TWENTY YEARS. No moving in, no I love yous. Nothing. He doesn't cheat but he does everything to keep Grace at a distance.

Angsty situation numero dos: Grace (please see numero uno listed above.)

I guess because I never really got why Trent refused to commit long term to Grace, I never really understood why Grace stuck around and took it. An explanation for Trent's personal relationship views was given but his treatment of Grace still seemed a little extreme.

And Grace? I'm not here to judge her for almost forgoing everything she wanted for herself personally. Love can make people do crazy things. I will say I still would've liked to have seen a little more backbone from her at times.

What would be righteously awesome would be a Cooper and Emily book. Cooper seemed almost too good for words in this one so I'd love to see how Ms. Michaels messes him up.

I lurrveddddd this, devoured it from beginning to end. It's got to be one of my top reads of the year for me. Emotional, page turning and gripping. And Trent gah Trent the very sexy copper come cowboy hero whom is broken yet a 100% a fighter for what he wants once we wakes up. I just loved the whole book but especially the last 50% was AMAZING and gave me all those tingly butterfly feelings, it was a big page turner once you get there.

Ok enough of the yabbling, so what's it about?
Trent Hennington the oldest of the brothers and boy has Corinne saved the best until last. Trent is a broken hero only cause he's let Grace be and not committed to her, which hurt Grace but he just wanted to live his life, lick the icing without taking the whole cake home if your getting my meaning? Their their relationship has been going on for a long time so Grace has enough and takes a break which in turn makes Trent wake up.



I'm not going to go on about the plot as there are a few twists and turns that will keep you wanting more and feeling more. Just know that this book has depth and will make you FEEL a lot, I had my tissues out a few times not only because of Gracie and Trent but because of the family. These reads always hit home for me, I'm very much a home gal I much prefer to be with my family above anyone else and obviously close friends which is what this series is intimately about a united family that teams together through thick and thin.

Concerning Trent and Gracie and what comes of them, I loveddddd Trent he is everything I love in an hero, he's slightly broken has a difference to the other brothers. Has always been on his own and so he just needs that one girl to be there for him. To let Gracie in and her him too. He is edgy, strong but also very loving like all the Henningtons are, they're loyal and Trent is no different. I suppose when I read the other books you don't really see what he's like as he's always been the reserved brother but boy did I enjoy the hell out of him and all that he has to offer with SAY I'M YOURS. The Romance, the chemistry between them had me feeling every ounce of what they are. And then the writing is WOW just WOW! I devoured it, didn't breathe until I was done, this book was beautiful from beginning to end.



A highly recommended read for anyone who loves the edgier hero and books that make you feel.

“ Have you ever wanted something and couldn’t have it? And then it’s so close, just within your grasp but not quite there. Either you can surrender or keep reaching. I’m not a man who gives up”.

You know what I love about second chance romance? Knowing that the love you thought was gone forever, suddenly comes back ten fold. Whatever the circumstances were at that time, it’s no longer relevant because FATE has decided to give you the one thing you thought you would never have again. The angst, the memories, the passion, it ALL comes back to you because no matter how hard you tried, deep down that feeling of loving someone never truly went away.

Grace Rooney is at her wits end waiting for Trent Hennington. For twenty years she’s been by his side and all she wants from him is a solid commitment. Twenty years of her life has gone by and while she’s had some beautiful memories with a man whom she’s loved more than half her life, she’s also had some painful ones. Deciding that she’s finally had enough and needs to move on, Grace gives Trent his walking papers. But he’s not a man who you can forget about that easily and Grace is about learn that lesson.

“Trent is the only thing I can’t quit. My heart has always belonged to him. Each time I walk away, I find myself running right back.

When you’re living in a small town like Belle Buckle, news travel fast and for Grace, having to move on and date other people is not something she’s comfortable with. She’s spent a long time loving a man who she saw a future with and knowing that reality will never happen now is truly heartbreaking for her. So when she’s asked out on a date by a long time friend, let’s just say things got complicated from here on out.



Trent is the oldest of the Hennington brothers and he’s also the town’s Sheriff. Having Grace in his life has always made him feel centered and even though they’ve had their ups and downs, there’s no question on whether or not loved her. But there’s a difference in loving someone and showing them everyday how much you care, and thinking that because you love them in your own way, that should be enough for them. In this case, it wasn’t enough for Grace and her walking away, gave Trent a reality check and made him realize what was important. But is it a little too late?



“I don’t see anyone else but you, Grace. I’ll fix this. I’ll fix us”.

I really admired how Grace stood up for herself in the beginning of this story and I felt all of her emotions. Her frustrations and longing bled through the pages and you couldn’t help but feel for this woman. This was a person who loved hard and her struggle to move on was portrayed In such a beautiful and poignant way that you couldn’t help but fall in love with this girl.

Now as for Trent? I’m going to be honest and say that I had a really difficult time connecting with him. That man tested me to no limit and I couldn’t understand why he did the things that he did! At one point I was starting to understand him but as time went on, the only emotion I felt towards him was frustration and when you have something like that, it taints your connection with the characters. If you’ve read the previous books then I think you’re going to enjoy Grace and Trent’s journey into finding their way back to each other.

2-2.5 stars

I clicked 3 because there was NO OW-drama. The hero was the whole time (relationship & break-ups) physically faithful to the h.

I had a #Team Cooper pre-review with many likes, but I posted this review separately, it’s only honest I think.

And after reading the book I’m #Team-Alex-is-moving-on-to-next-read.

I read previous books by this author and I definitely expected more.

I missed character depth and development;
I missed background and explanation what was the actual problem.

H – 41, h- 36, both behaved like teens

The H had commitment issues, but I didn’t get what issues and why.
The only explanation I found was for the last 5-year period death of h’s sister, death of deputy in neighbor town.

What about years before?

Ok, let forgive them both first 5 to 7 years, coz they were young. But what about when the h was mid-twenties and H’s in his 30s?

Could somebody please enlighten me?!

IMO, the H didn’t want to commit at all, because he just didn’t want.
And it’s completely ok not to be crazy about family & kids, but it was cruel to lead the h on. He manipulated her and she let him do it!

She forgave him every time and took him back, so why should he change something?!

And her weak attempt to move on was more pathetic than real.

I saw her as a hypocrite, the same with many side-characters, who told her the whole time that the hero won’t change – and I agree! A man in his 40s won’t change any more – and then everyone was miraculous convinced that he became a better man.
How come? It wasn’t a paranormal romance…

Cooper. Nice caring guy, but he disappointed me a bit. Firstly, I didn’t buy his attraction to the h. If he really “loved” her/really cared for her he would have never forgiven her so easy that she slept with her ex the night after their (Cooper’s & h) “friend”-date. IMO.

I hope he will find a woman who deserves him, and maybe I’ll read his book.

So, back to our MCs. I dunno what to say. They broke up, the h tried to move on *eye roll*, and the H finally understood that he loved her. Really? How come?

Family drama H’s father’s illness and brazilian soup opera twist with H’s father built a convenient base to explain H’s sudden shift. It may sound heartless and cold, but it how I saw the situation.

2 epilogues. None of them satisfied me.

Where do I start with my review of this book!? There are sooooo many emotions running through me, but first off, THIS is Corinne Michaels at her absolute BEST!!! The love/hate story of Grace Rooney and Trent Hennington is engrossing, heart-shattering, sexy, panty-melting...with some mind-blowing twists that will have you picking your jaw up off the floor!

Grace has been in love with Trent since she was a teen...now 20 years later, after breaking off their relationship (again!) for the last time, she knows she HAS to move on. Trent is NEVER going to love her, he's never going to let her in or give her what she wants (his heart and a life together)...so, she decides to accept a "date" with good friend Cooper Townsend, someone she and Trent grew up with in tiny Bell Buckle and who happens to be one of Trent's best friends! All I'm gonna say is "Let the games begin!"

Cooper to Trent~ "I'm not sure what to say to you. I didn't set out for any of this to happen, I really didn't. I went back and forth on whether goin' after her was the right thing to do." I answer for him. "It wasn't." "And what you're doin' is?" "No, but I don't know how to live in a world without her"

Trent is, by far, THE most complicated, intriguing and messed up of the Hennington brothers and it only made me fall harder and more deeply in love with him! Which only served to make it that much more devastating when my heart and soul were ripped out and torn apart! And my heart also bled for Grace! And when Trent decided he would fight for her?! I felt everything she was going through and I felt like taking Trent out behind the Hennington barn and "beatin' the livin' tar outa him" yet, at the same time, having the feeling that there was sooooo much more going on with him! AND THERE IS!!!

I can't recommend this book highly or strongly enough! This book CAN be read as a standalone, but I WOULD recommend that if you haven't read about the OTHER Hennington boys that you read Say You'll Stay (Zach & Presley) and Say You Want Me (Wyatt & Angie) first to get the entire heart-searing, incredible rollercoaster ride in all it's epicness that is The Henningtons!! #SaveAHorseRideAHennington #FightForWhatYouWant

4.5 'I'll fix us' Stars!
ARC provided by the author via Ink Slinger PR in exchange for an honest review.


These Hennington brothers have stolen my heart! Corinne Michaels is one of the best authors out there when it comes to gripping, emotional and sweet love stories. I was extremely excited when I got the ARC for this book because this woman has been teasing us about Trent and Grace since Say You’ll Stay and boy.. she did not disappoint!

Say I’m Yours can be read as a standalone but I do highly recommend checking out the two other books because, as I said, the Hennington brothers are to die for! Now it’s time for Trent and his very safeguarded heart. Grace Morley has been waiting for twenty years for Trent to open said heart and confess his feelings for her but now she is more than tired of all this waiting. Our hero is losing the love of his life and what will he do, let her go or fight for her?

He makes me weak.
He makes me stupid.
He makes me love him.

I loved this second chance love story! I am a sucker when it comes to these kinds of novels, especially when they get right in the feels and man.. this definitely got emotional! Corinne presented us an outstanding couple. Grace is such a strong heroine, a woman who feels so much, a woman who has been fighting for years to get Trent’s love but now she is tired. She wants to move on but Trent is not about to let her do that!

She’s the girl I love. The girl I’ve always loved but was too stupid to hold on to.
That won’t happen again.

Trent is afraid of committing. He obviously loves Grace and cares deeply for her but he is afraid. Both are not getting any younger and Grace wants the whole package: marriage and kids. Enter Cooper Townsend and the whole thing gets even more complicated. Drama, jealousy and lots of tears await you but I am not complaining because they so beautifully developed. Even though we have heartbreaking and very sad moments, Say I’m Yours is just SO worth it!

All I see is Trent. All I feel is him. All that exists is us.

“I’m going to enjoy hearing you scream my name.”

And of course, as with all her books, Corinne is great at keeping the importance of secondary characters and keeping some aspects out of the drama. We do have dramatic, sad and emotional moments but we also find funny and VERY sexy scenes in Say I’m Yours. Zach and Wyatt were HOT as I am sure you remember.. Well, Trent Hennington is no exception, ladies! And it all gets better towards the end. Even more beautiful, heartfelt and steamy!

“You’re the only thing I know that’s real.”
“I’m real. I’m yours, and I love you, Trent.”

Therefore, my rating for Say I’m Yours is 4.5 STARS because it’s a great addition to the other two stories and it definitely reached the expectations I had on Grace and Trent’s love story! Magnificently written, emotional and hot, this novel gripped me from the beginning until the very end! And can I just say, I do hope we get Emily’s story because I am SO curious about her and Cooper lol I highly recommend this novel and the other two, you can’t miss meeting the wonderful Hennington brothers, guys!

“Loving me shouldn’t be this hard.”



Corinne Michaels is back with another beautifully written, engaging and emotional Hennington brothers’ story with ‘Say I’m Yours.’ Corinne Michaels always has the ability to make me deeply feel and connect with her amazing stories; I always become so invested with the plot and characters that I devour every word. I’m a big fan of second chance romance stories and this one was no exception.

The eldest Harrington brother is Trent; and this is his story. We are bought back to the world of Bell Buckle, Tennessee, where Trent is the town sheriff. For the past 20 years Trent has loved only one woman, but for certain reasons he’s unable to fully give his heart to her and to commit a life with her. Trent has learnt the hard way that all too often, you never appreciate what you have and how special it is, until it’s gone. There were real reasons as to why Trent was the way he was and why he has kept love at arm's-length. He literally stole my heart. The more I read, the more I fell in love with him.

Grace Rooney has had enough. She’s tired of giving her heart and soul to the man she has loved for the past 20 years only for those feelings not to be reciprocated. Grace has finally built up the courage to walk away once and for all, but sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants and no amount of time or distance will change that fact.

“He’s embedded in my heart and soul. The only problem is his love doesn’t heal, it’s toxic, and I have to eradicate it before it kills me.”

Grace, being in her late thirties, wants to build a life with someone who will love and appreciate her as much as she does them. She wants marriage and a family and knows that until Trent can fully give his heart to her, she will never achieve her desires. Grace has been given no other option than to walk away and to try to move on.

Trying to get on with your life in a small town is no easy feat. Everyone is always in everybody else’s business and news certainly travels fast. The brother of Grace’s best friend, Cooper Townsend, is more than happy to step in to fill the void in her heart and help her move on. Her family also don’t make things easy on her. They want to see Grace happy and do not hold back on their opinions regarding whether Cooper is a good choice for her. Grace agrees to go on a date with Cooper and this forces Grace to have to make some tough decisions regarding Trent. Is he worth fighting for?

“It was never about you not being what I wanted. It was me not knowing that what I had was everything I needed.”

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and fell in love with Bell Buckle and her people. If you’re in the mood for a heartfelt and angst ridden second chance romance story that both breaks your heart and makes you laugh, then definitely give this a go.

[Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

After two Hennington Brothers, I didn't think I could love them anymore. But then there was Trent.
The wait for Trent would produce something heartbreaking, beautiful and so powerful that it would take a strong and amazing woman to finally bring him to his knees. And Grace was that and so much more. A love that old and worthy wasn't easy. At times making me cry, laugh and wish that they would see the love they had for each other.
Corinne has this amazing way with words that keep me on the edge of my seat wanting more and more. She gave us so much with these two I never wanted it to end.
This is an absolute MUST read!

[Alison Maxwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm not sure how Corinne Michaels does it, but her stories just keep getting better and better. Her heroes get more swoon-worthy with each book. Trent Hennington will no doubt steal your heart.

[Jx PinkLady Reviews ♡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The writing stage is perfectly set for Trent Hennington’s story. Readers who have read the previous Hennington books or simply the blurb will know that Grace has been waiting for love to emerge for twenty years and after waiting all this time our heroine has finally had enough. She needs to move on thereby setting the conflict and emotion of the story in motion between Grace and Trent in this beautiful second chance contemporary romance with southern charm.

Trent is a solid reliable and very sexy charismatic guy; his one fault may be that he has been unable to commit thus far. Grace is beautiful and feisty, some might say why has she stuck around so long, hankering after Trent but that’s truly not what happened in their past. I felt her reasons where solid, nothing in life is that simple; time passes by the blink of an eye, she never believed he’d keep closing off time and time again. He also has his reasons and they unfold through the course of the story.

As a fan of this series it was so lovely to immediately feel at home when I started to read, to know each character, the protagonists and the supporting cast, and their history, to see glimpses of their life now and to find out more about the main characters at the heart of SAY I'M YOURS. Corinne Michaels delivers pure romance with her usual style, lots of push and pull and a dramatic last 30 percent that had me in tears. It’s true that Wyatt's story is still my favourite from this interconnected standalone series and for my personal tastes there is a little too much back and forth in this story arc which made me feel a slight repetitive edge to some of the emotional content. That said what I love is that I felt completely safe in this read, content with where the story would take me and when it took the unexpected turn towards the end the characters drew me deeper into the heart and soul of the story and made me feel to the point of tears which is something I adore in my reading.

Can you truly ever get enough of ANY Hennington?? Well reading this book definitely puts that phrase into perspective. WOW!! I'm so in love with Trent right now that I could absolutely burst. It's always one of the ones in the series that you read about, but don't know the full story that grabs you and holds you down when their story is told. Trent did that too me. I laughed more in this book than the others, but I also cried more too. Like sobbing, bawling crying.

I can't say anything about what happens, we all know based off the premise of the book that Grace and Trent have their final fall out... But what happens after that makes you feel so much for Trent, and love Grace more than anything, that you can't even fathom them not being together. There are so many twists and turns in this plot, but isn't this what we expect from CM?? It is what makes her writing so amazing.

I have more of my heart invested in Trent right now, because who doesn't love a story where the man is so in love that it breaks him. Those are the type of stories that get me every time. I promised a review without spoilers, so I can't give you any, but this book is a 100 percent must read. If I could give more than 5***** stars, I would because it is that great, and I promise you'll love it too. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC given to me by the author, and it's one of the best things I've done all year. Congrats on an outstanding book.

Angsty, fall so hard for these characters, kinda read. Corinne Michael at her best.

Oh, Corinne can you ever create a couple I don't fall head over heels for.?! Please don't ever answer that question.

Trent & Grace filled my heart with angst, love, and second chances.

If there is an author out there that can pull my heart strings and give me hope that second chances & falling in love is real, it's undeniably Corinne Michaels.

Trent & Grave start off with her being done. She has loved him her whole life, but she needs more, she deserves more. And of course Trent finally getting his head out of his ass once it's to late. This is an ultimate love story to say the least.

These two were driving me mad.

Trent•Trent•Trent. This man is life!

My heart was going crazy reading this.

Oh, the feels. GEEZ this story went from one extreme to the next, in the most delicious way.
Corinne was killing me with this story!

"Our mouths move together, but my heart is pulling away."



These two when they loved, when they battled, when they hurt, you felt every single emotion through the turning of the pages.

Corinne has such a way with making you fall so deeply into her characters you never want to leave.

This book shows you what second Chances and unyielding love truly means.

There is a certain character (who I won't name out loud) that I am cheering so loud for that they get there own book. Pretty please, Corinne.

I wanna move to the country to find me a man as amazing as these men. Even when I want to scream and yell at them, nobody can touch these Brothers.

Must read!

After reading Zack and Wyatt's story, I knew Trent's story was going to be phenomenal. Corinne has a gift for writing. She has us on an emotional roller coaster but it is worth the ride. Trent's story will pull at your emotions.

[Dilek VT]

She is 36 and she has been waiting for twenty years for the hero to finally commit to her.
That's borderline pathetic!

[Holly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wanted to hate Trent Hennington, oh how I wanted to hate him. But of course as always Corinne makes you trip and fall fast, head first into love with her characters. I wanted to stay strong and side with Grace and in the beginning I kept saying "you go girl" "stick it to him" then slowly I found myself siding with Trent and thinking "jeez Grace relax a little" "quit being so hard on him" at that point I had to go look myself in the mirror and ask myself "who are you? I thought you hated Trent?? Hmmm!" Well done Corinne! You won me over on Trent and very quickly!!

While this story has a fun, quirky side and a swoony, steamy side it also has the emotional wreck you to the core side as we can always expect from Corinne. The story definitely takes you on a journey full of the hopes, dreams and disappointments of life, the love and strength of family and the power and depth of true love.

While I love all of the Hennington's, I have to admit Trent has easily become my favorite but for a totally different reason then the others.. his strength and struggle of emotions and watching him grow into the man he was always suppose to be made me fall for him.

This book warms my heart with the closeness of the family, the strength they provide each other and the hope they hold. One could only wish to be part of the Hennington family. 5 beautiful stars just doesn't seem enough!!

Dear Wyatt Hennington,

I know that it’s only been nine months since we met and five months since we went from casual to serious, but I think we need to have a serious talk. No, don’t worry – I’m not breaking up with you, not at all. I do really love you, but I think we need to really reevaluate our relationship and talk about some hard truths. The hard truth that your brother, Trent gives me a huge lady boner. Now, I’m not saying that I won’t be able to control myself at family dinners, like ripping off his shirt and climbing up onto his lap to ride out the first course – but I do think that we should really consider altering the idea of “family bonding.”

I mean, really Wyatt, can you blame me? Did you see how tragically haunted he was? You know that gets me excited. A girl can only take so much before she breaks. And those moments when he fought for Grace? OMG the feels. He made me feel so squishy inside. And I know that this whole sharing idea might be a bitter pill to swallow, but I think you’ll really see that this is the only way to keep this girl happy. And just think, I’m just asking for you to let me have Trent a few times a week to ensure that all this sexual tension doesn’t cause problems for all of us. It’s really, actually pretty nice of me to sacrifice my lady bits so that our holidays are peaceful.



Okay, for realsy now. Corinne Michaels you have to stop writing books so darn well, just kidding. DO NOT EVER STOP. I was won over with a group of ex-service men, but these cowboys stole my heart Their stories, their loves, the hope that this book gave me for love always having another chance to win out – all of it. It was moving, magical and so freaking beautiful that this series will forever remain as a favorite that I will think back to when life gets hard, when love gets hard. Because it is never easy and this book left me feeling hope.

Trent and Grace’s story was not easy. Years of loving each other and years of one pulling away until finally forcing the other to walk away. A boy fell in love with a girl and was planning to give her the world one day, but sometimes our own fears can hold us back. Our fears can rob us of the most beautiful moments. It can cause us to hurt ourselves and those we love the most. But when Cooper steps in to give Grace a shot at a man who won’t run, Trent sees that he might actually let his fear cost him EVERYTHING.

Corinne Michaels knocks this out of the park. Every part of this book held my attention. Trent and Grace’s love story was moving and I loved how we got to see glimpses into their young love. I loved the turmoil that Trent had to face, I am a sucker for a broken hero and Trent was glorious with all his cracks.

Five stars is not enough for this book. It truly deserves ALL THE STARS.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review



Say I’m Yours is an utterly raw, sweet, vulnerable, emotional second chance love story. There is just something about the way Corinne Michaels writes a story that consumes you to the core. Every fiber of your being is coursing with this need to embrace, love, and feel for her characters. This sentiment couldn’t be more true as my heart was beating wildly for Trent Hennington and Grace as they navigate their journey alone and as a couple.

If there’s one thing I can’t resist in my life, it’s him. He knows what he’s doing, and always has. Trent is the one thing I can’t quit. My heart has always belonged to him. Each time I walk away, I find myself running right back.”

There was no denying it Trent and Grace loved each other fiercely but time and time again, Trent would find a way to push Grace away. This wall surrounding his heart that Grace tried to break never seemed to cracked. And so when Grace finally made it known to Trent that she had enough, his hard exterior began to show it’s crack. It began to crumble. Trent is well aware that there is no other woman beside Grace. She completes him. She is his other half. His heart. His soul. She is his. But what happens when Grace finally decides to move on to the guy that has been patiently waiting his time to get his chance with her?



Grace knows deep down she will be forever be broken. Her heart, soul, mind, and being belongs to Trent. But how long can she wait for him to finally say the words that she longs to hear. Thirty six years old and still single isn’t what Grace thought she would be at this point in her life. She wants what all her friends and family have. Love, marriage and kids. She wants that life with Trent but is he willing to give that to her or will she discover and realize that another man is willing to give her the happiness that she deserves.

We’ve had ups and downs and wins and losses, but we’ve had them together. He’s not perfect, but he’s perfect for me.”

When it comes to love nothing is black and white. And for Trent and Grace their love was complicated. They knew deep down to the core they belonged together. They complete one another. Trent was like Gracie’s drug. She craved, wanted, and needed him in ways like a drug addict needed their next fix. But at the same time, his love was like medicine and food. As Trent worked his way back into Grace’s heart, will he finally be able to say those words that she needed to hear. Will Trent Hennington be able to Say I’m Yours and not let his fears dictate his heart?



Say I’m Yours is a delicate and beautifully well written story about two flawed individuals who are still navigating through life and matters of the heart. The story of Trent and Grace is a reminder that life is short. Actions speaks louder than words. Loving someone means making yourself vulnerable. And for Trent and Grace, their second chance to make things right was a beautiful, heartbreaking, and raw journey. They allowed readers to see, feel, and understand the many facets of emotions coursing through them whether it be heartbreak, loss, jealousy, hurt, humiliation, forgiveness, or love. These different elements that Corinne compassionately weaved into her story is a testament of what it means to love with no regrets. So if you are looking for a story that was heartwarming, emotional, and real then I highly suggest you read this book as Corinne Michaels will awaken and touch your hearts.

[Emmbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

ever tried to read a book with your eyes closed because your afraid of the words on the page, afraid of how much its going to hurt to read?

yeah, that was me last night. I started this around 8pm and didn't move until I was finished. Even though it was hurting to keep reading at times.

I knew going into this there would be an element of a 'love triangle'. One thing I cant deal with is a triangle. But because I love Corinne's words and trust her completely as a writer I pulled up my big girl knickers and got on with it. and it was more than worth all that angst.

Grace is sick of waiting for Trent Hennington to man up and actually commit to her. despite knowing she loves him she feels the only way to move on is to attempt dating. It just so happens that Cooper Townsend has been waiting for his chance with her. Cooper being the close friend to the Hennington brothers.

gahhhhhh! this book had me so tense!! It had me on the edge of my seat. The push and pull from Trent and Grace was delicious. These two went on such an incredible journey that was jam packed with emotion, there was barely a chapter I read that I didn't have tears in my eyes.

Corinne Michaels is an incredibly gifted author. Her ability to create such a vivid world with her world never fails to amaze me.

5 stars will never be enough for this book.

if you have been waiting for 20 years for the guy to commit to you he'll never will. So keep waiting. Lol
