When We Are Complete : A Small Town Romance
A Heartfelt, Second-Chance, Small-Town Romance
Jake Tanner.
The man who broke my heart.
The one I swore I’d never forgive.
Returning to Harbor’s Edge was supposed to be my chance to start over—to prove myself by pulling off the most ambitious event the town has ever seen. But when I’m forced to work with Jake Tanner, the man I’ve spent years trying to forget, my carefully laid plans fall apart.
Jake isn’t just a painful memory. He’s a devoted single dad, a skilled carpenter, and the one person who knows how to unearth the vulnerability I’ve spent years hiding.
From heated arguments over festival plans to undeniable moments of passion, the chemistry between us refuses to stay buried. But Jake’s fixation on being a provider blinds him to what really matters.
When a powerful winter storm threatens the festival—and everything we’ve built together—our deepest insecurities are laid bare.
Sometimes, the hardest thing to build is a future together.
When We Are Complete is book three in the Valiant Hearts series and can be read as a standalone. This steamy, emotional small-town romance delivers a satisfying happily ever after.

I am an absolute sucker for a second chance at first love trope and this book got me from the start.
I loved Jake and Kelly's story!!! What a fantastic edition to Harbor's Edge! This was a beautifully written second chance, return to small town single dad romance. Kelly's and Jake's histories were expertly woven into the book with so much emotion. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming to see Jake make choices that aligned with his values of being a good man and father, even when they weren't choices he made for himself, and it was really heart tugging when those choices broke his (and Kelly's) heart as teenagers.
But that just makes their reunion all the sweeter. And even better, they're adults and no longer teenagers. It made for a satisfying HEA for them, now older and wiser and ready for each other.
Once again, I loved hanging out in this fictional small town because it feels so real! I loved revisiting past couples in the series as well. I loved this one. ♥️

Enjoyed the finale -
So excited to read the 3rd book that is set in this town. The main characters have their own set of issues that caught me by surprise, and I think the author did a nice job touching on some of those sensitive subjects. I also loved reading little updates about other characters from the prior books as well and where they are at now. Lastly, I’m a sucker for a happy ending.
