Unleash Me
Mia Ortez spent her entire life in pain until she came to Magnolia Falls Ranch and met the man she thought she’d spend the rest of her life with.
When her chance at their future is tragically ripped away, she runs from it all, knowing the pain would destroy her.
She never planned to go back, not wanting to face the heartbreak and dreams she left buried there, but when his sister calls begging her to meet, she’s left with no choice but to confront it all.
Luke Henry has spent most of his life in a wheelchair after an accident as a teen left him paralyzed, never letting it hold him back from achieving every goal he sets his mind to.
Mia showing up at his house 4 years after leaving with nowhere to go is the last thing he expected, but the spark between them that was never there before has him questioning everything.
I mean, she was his best friend. She lost everything. Falling in love with her would only push her away again.
Wouldn’t it?

This book had potential, but it felt a bit scattered and rushed, making it hard to fully connect with the story. There were moments that came across as awkward, and I found myself hoping for a stronger build-off from the last book in the series. Unfortunately, it just didn’t quite deliver for me.
That said, there were still some enjoyable moments, and fans of the series may find things to love. It just didn’t hit the mark as much as I had hoped.

HOLY COW!! I freaking love the Magnolia Falls Ranch series and I was so excited to get the arc of Unleash Me, but what I didn’t realize was HOW MUCH I WOULD LOVE IT!! This is MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES!!
I always loved Luke and wanted to see him get his HEA, but this!! I’m so in love with this story!! I cried so much, both because of heartache and because of bittersweet moments and finding happiness and love!! This book deals with loss, losing someone you love in such a sudden and horrific way and then trying to outrun the grief.
Grieco always writes about the most intense subjects in such a beautiful way. I find myself highlighting and tagging so many sayings. She has a beautiful way of looking at life and bringing it alive on the page, through such real, lovable and deeply layered, inspiring characters! She shows how animals are therapeutic, how the beauty of nature is healing. She shows how important friends, family (blood or found) and their love and support can carry us through things that we could never survive on our won. How grief never leaves us.
“This kind of pain will always leave a piece of hurt with you. It’s the kind of pain that changes who you are, but I have faith that you will take this, and you will get up and become someone not even you thought was possible.”
I lost my sister 6 years ago and I related to this pain so much, but to me this story and the way Grieco expressed healing from such tragedy, inspired me to really think about how I can take who I’ve become from the tragedy and become something I never even imagined was possible. So if this would be a trigger you don’t want to delve into that’s fine, but the way this story is written I think you may find it helps you.
I’m so thankful to Grieco for her stories and they stay with me like special inspiration that I can go back and read through when I need them. I highly recommend this series, and this book is my favorite!! I want to stay at Magnolia Falls Ranch!!

Unleash Me is the third book in the Magnolia Falls Ranch series. This is Mia and Lukes story. This book had me crying, laughing, and cheering Mia and Luke on. Mia returns to Magnolia Falls Ranch after having moved to California after the devastating loss of her boyfriend. When Mia returned to meet with Derek's sister, she was confronted with her past. Can Mia come to terms with her past loss and move on with Luke? I absolutely loved Mua and Luke's story. There are some heavy topics in the book, so look at the trigger warnings.

ARC.
Mia Ortez has had a hard time navigating life after being forced to plan a life that’s completely and utterly different than she previously planned.
Constantly struggling to stay afloat, having a hard time deciding what her real and true purpose in life is. Will Mia overcome her battles and be everything she ever dreamed of, have everything she ever wanted, regardless of the setbacks along the way?
This book is so good.
Once I started, I couldn’t put it down.
This story was written as if I was a fly on the wall watching all of this unfold. I was sad, happy, frustrated with certain decisions, and excited. This book takes you on a ride but it’s a ride that’s comfortable, speeds up when it needs to be and slowed down when it should be.
We’re also still getting more background information on characters from previous books without stealing the spotlight on the new story.
Author did a fantastic job.
I am now having a hard time deciding whether my favorite is Unchain me (book #2) or Unleash me.
To the author,
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
I can’t wait for the big release. ❤️
P.S. — is there a book #4 in the works?
Will we get a book #4? 😅

I was lucky enough to be chosen as an arc reader.
I loved Mia & Luke’s story. There was so much heart break, grief, love, and personal growth in this book.
I loved all the hard topics that were in this book, and because of those it made the book even better.
I teared up quite a bit in this book.
I rated it 4 stars, because it felt like it was a bit rushed.
I would have loved to see more of Luke & Mia’s story after the time jump.

Very grateful to the author for the opportunity to read this as an ARC.
"You can't always save me."
"Doesn't mean I'll ever stop trying."
4.5⭐ This has been my favorite in the Magnolia Falls Ranch series. This follows the story of Mia and Luke. I loved the character growth and development throughout the story. The way this author writes about grief and loss in a way that makes you truly connect and feel what these characters are going through is just so powerful. The story was captivating from beginning to end. I loved the friendship between Mia and Luke and the way it blossomed into something more. It was a short, quick read but man was it packed with emotion. Loved loved loved this book!

Talk about ripping your heart out and making you cry like a baby in the first chapter! This is a wonderful end to this series. I really wish it was ending and we could have just one more book.
This was everything we needed. And the return of ohana and goose makes me so happy. Everyone loves an animal sidekick. I absolutely loved that Luke got his happy ending with his best friend. It's like a fairytale ending.

So glad I was picked to be an ARC reader. I wish this book would have continued. I want to know more about Mia and how hers and Luke’s life goes.

After reading the first book in this series last summer, I knew that I wanted to read more of C.A. Grieco's writing, so I feel honoured to have received this book as an ARC. I love her straight-to-the-point writing style, and how she fills the pages with so much healing that parts of me find happiness with the characters. I read this one in only a couple hours, and I admire how the author was able to fit so much emotion within the few hundred pages.
This dual POV, friends to lovers, cowboy/small town romance follows our FMC Mia, who is introduced in the previous books as a young girl who has big dreams and is working on navigating through her childhood trauma. She's on her way to become a vet, when the unthinkable happens and the love of her life is involved in a tragic accident. Now, I knew before starting this book that Grieco was going to make me hurt a little bit in order to get to the happiness. However, what I did not expect was to be absolutely sobbing within the first five minutes of opening the book. The first few chapters could have used some more descriptions at times, but it did not stop me from becoming emotionally invested in the story.
I loved how real Mia was, and how she showed that grief is not linear, but that it happens in waves. She allowed herself to feel the hurt but used her experiences to grow as a person.
Luke, the MMC, is suffering in his own way. After being in an accident that left him paralyzed when he was younger, he has spent most of his life in a wheelchair but he refuses to let that hinder him from achieving all that he desires. When his best friend, Mia, suddenly shows up on his doorstep 4 years later, they work together to rekindle their friendship, navigate their grief, while also discovering the new feelings they have towards each other. I loved Luke from the first book in this series, but Luke in Unleash Me was on another level entirely. The patience that he showed towards Mia, and the compassion that he had in all situations was admirable. He showed that no matter the obstacles that life throws at you, there is always a way to find the good.
Although I understand that this book was mostly character driven, I do think the plot felt a little rushed at times. I would have liked to see more of Luke's journey as well. Unleash Me is a quick read, but will have readers reminiscing on its heartwarming story much longer after the pages are closed.
*A few notes*
-Even though each book in this series follows different characters, I highly recommend reading the series in order.
-PLEASE check the trigger warnings if you are interested in reading this book.

Mia and Luke’s journey is a beautiful, raw exploration of grief, love, and healing. Mia returns to Magnolia Falls Ranch after the tragic loss of her boyfriend and the life she had envisioned. She’s struggling with how to move forward, and her return brings her face-to-face with Luke, her best friend and longtime crush. What follows is a heart-wrenching journey of rediscovering themselves, navigating grief, and rekindling their relationship.
Grieco has a way of addressing heavy, real-life issues in such a powerful and beautiful way. The way she writes about grief, personal growth, and healing is inspiring. I found myself highlighting so many lines—this story really resonated with me. Mia’s journey, especially in dealing with loss, is painfully relatable, and Luke’s patience and compassion throughout the story were exactly what Mia—and I—needed to see.
While I absolutely adored this book, I did feel it was a bit rushed at times. I would have loved to see more of Luke and Mia’s story, especially after the time jump. Still, the story is emotional, captivating, and powerful, leaving a lasting impact.
Unleash Me is a perfect addition to the Magnolia Falls Ranch series, and I highly recommend it. Just be sure to check the trigger warnings before diving in, as this book deals with some heavy topics. It’s a must-read for fans of heartfelt, character-driven romance!

I had the absolute pleasure of being an ARC reader for Unleash Me, the third book in the Magnolia Falls Ranch series, and it was just as incredible as the first two.
I was especially thrilled to finally get Luke and Mia’s story. One of the standout aspects of this book is how C.A. Greico authentically incorporates disability into one of the main characters, providing a realistic portrayal of the challenges while also showing that they don’t define a person or limit their ability to find love and happiness. Luke’s journey is truly inspiring.
This book takes a deep dive into themes of loss and trauma, beautifully illustrating that even after life’s hardest moments, happiness is still within reach—sometimes in ways you never imagined.
What I Loved:
• Small-town cowboy romance
• Perfect book length
• Insightful look into life with a physical disability
• A powerful message about rediscovering happiness after loss
• The adorable animals throughout the book
• The lower spice level—just the right amount without overdoing it
What I Didn’t Love:
• There aren’t more books by C.A. Greico to read right now! (Hoping for more soon!)
A heartfelt, beautifully written romance—definitely a five-star read!

Thank you C.A. Grieco for the gifted ARC. I recently read the first 2 in the series and was blown away. This is the third book in the Magnolia Ranch series, and this did not disappoint!
This story followed Mia and Luke. And the very first chapter my heart was ripped out! But like all of CA Greico books there is a journey of grief, love, friendship, forgiveness, hope and living for all moments. All of the characters have had trauma in their life, and I love how the author recognizes those moments and that there is a journey you need to go through to heal.
Mia just graduated and finished her internship to become an animal vet. When she loses someone she love and her whole life is flipped upside down. She had all these dreams for the future gone in an instant. Mia goes down a dark path and moves away from everyone that loves her to run from her grief. But the thing with grief we cannot just hide from it . One day she gets a call to go back home and when she gets there she is hit with the ghost of her past. Will she be able to move forward?
This book contains some spice and some heavy topics. Please check the Trigger warnings before reading.
This book was beautifully written and I am so glad that I had the chance to read the third book!

I received an advance review copy of this book and found the narrative to be both enjoyable and emotionally resonant. The characters, consistent with the series, were well-developed. However, I noted several typographical errors and, as previously mentioned regarding the first book, I believe that certain scenes could benefit from more thorough development and smoother transitions. In some instances, the pacing felt rushed.
***"SPOILER ALERT!!"***
While the line "Luke, take care of her for me" was emotionally resonant, the narrative surrounding Derek's utterance to Luke could benefit from a more detailed explanation. The scene lacks clarity regarding Luke's location during the incident, with Layton's involvement in Derek's acquisition suggesting he was the last person to interact with him. This ambiguity regarding the timing of Derek's statement is somewhat confusing.
Overall,
The narratives are exceptionally well-crafted and highly recommended; readers will find the characters captivating.

I just finished reading "Unleash Me," the third book in the Magnolia Falls Ranch series, and wow, what a ride! It's not your typical romance; it's a real emotional rollercoaster following Mia and Luke.
Mia comes back to Magnolia Falls after a long time away in California, and things are definitely complicated. She's still dealing with the loss of her boyfriend, Derek, and running into his sister brings up a whole lot of painful memories. The book does a great job of balancing the sad parts with lighter moments – it's heartbreaking at times, but there's definitely hope woven throughout.
You really get invested in Mia's journey. Will she be able to move past her past and open herself up to a connection with Luke? Their story is all about grief, healing, and the surprising possibility of finding love again, even when you think it's impossible.
Just a heads-up: it deals with some tough stuff, so check out the trigger warnings before you dive in. But seriously, it's a powerful story, and Mia and Luke's relationship is unforgettable. You won't want to put it down!

The Magnolia Falls Ranch Series is an amazing series. If you haven’t read, Unbreak me… I suggest starting there first.
Unleash Me is book three in the series, and the one that touched my heart the most.
Magnolia Falls Ranch is full of special people…a family.
“Our family is made up of all kinds of people we’ve met along the way.”
This is the family we, as readers, have grown to love through the series…especially Luke and Mia. Best friends who have an unbreakable bond. A bond that stood strong in mourning and grief. It is heartbreaking and breathtaking to see their healing strength.
“Since the day I met you, I’ve watched you face everything life has thrown at you and overcome it in ways most people can’t. If anyone can find their strength again, it’s you.”
With strength, comes the ability to unleash their future.
I received an ARC for an honest review. I was honored to read it!
Thank you, C.A. Grieco! I can’t wait to read the series again.

Overall, I appreciate the message this author is trying to bring to the readers. Perseverance and never giving up
• Found family
• Strength in the face of devastating loss
I loved the little ones, the animals, the dreams that are almost lost but find their way back. I loved the inclusion of past characters because of all the love and support they show the FMC
In all honesty, the storyline felt rushed. There were a few important parts where the characters experienced growth in a matter of seconds, literally like a light switch.
There was one spicy scene in particular that I really couldn’t figure out. The MMC is paralyzed from the waist down and I couldn’t understand what was happening. The author tried touching on some concepts, but there wasn’t enough detail to help the reader understand what was actually happening.
Triggers:
• Depression
• Self-harm by MFC
• Found family
• Strength in the face of devastating loss

‼️TW: Grief, loss of a loved one, mental health‼️
This is book 3 of the magnolia falls ranch series and I wanted to love it like I loved and adored the first two.
The story line was still enjoyable but definitely has more potential. It’s felt a bit rushed. While I loved the characters bc I LOVE everyone at the MFR… it just didn’t give the energy I expected it to. It felt like somehow it just missed the mark. It was interesting enough for me to finish, but it was never something I was excited to pick back up.
Of course I enjoy how all the books intertwine and watching the characters develop, and that maybe what drove to me to finish. As a whole the series is wonderful and I raved about books 1 & 2, but sadly book 3 just didn’t do it for me. Again, interesting enough for me to finish, but nothing special.

OMG!!!!!! C.A. Grieco has done it again. The magnolia falls ranch series could not have gotten better. I absolutely love this series. But this book would have to be my favorite of the series. The character development throughout was on point and the banter between each character had me all sorts of emotional. I love the world of the Magnolia Falls Ranch. I was given the amazing opportunity to do an Advanced Reading and I could not put it down. This book is the perfect mixture of romance, spice, and emotions. There are a few triggers that if you cannot cope with or handle please read the triggers before proceeding. I definitely would recommend this book and series to anyone who loves a good cowboy romance.

Y’all as an arc reader for the author for the second time. I can tell you her books get better and better as she wrote them.
Unleash Me not only pulls you in right away from the first chapter but there isn’t a time throughout the book that makes you want to stop reading.
To read this book in the series you do have to read the first one Unbreak Me to understand it more. But I absolutely love Mia and Luke’s story in this book.
Throughout the book C.A. Grieco has me crying, in awe, and shocked with the events that happen throughout it.
If you want an easy quick read Unleash Me is a great one!

Throughout the book C.A. Grieco has me crying, in awe, and shocked with the events that happen throughout it.
If you want an easy quick read Unleash Me is a great one!

What a beautifully heart-wrenching yet heartwarming story this was! I think I read most of it with tears in my eyes and a tight throat, but my word did I love it. I absolutely adore Mia and Luke, both as individual characters as well as them together as a couple. They are both so sweet.
Following Mia's journey of healing after loss was so bittersweet in the best ways, with the found family aspect a huge part that helped make it just that little bit more. I do enjoy when a book focuses on all those little relationships alongside the main characters. The story was well written and well thought out.
Would recommend.

Unleash Me is the third book in the Magnolia Falls Ranch series. If you haven't read the first two, go read them, they are wonderful!
This is Luke and Mia's story. One full of heartache but also so much joy. Mia has been through so much and just can't handle anymore heartache but Luke patiently helps her through it all; helping Mia find out just how strong she is.
If you like cowboy romances, a sprinkle of spice and amazing healing journeys with lovable characters, these books are definitely for you.
All three of the books are short reads but so good! And definitely must reads!

OMG! This book broke me in the best way! It's an amazing end to an awesome trilogy by the author Casey! And I hope there is a possibility of other new characters she introduced in this book. Throughout the story the message that resonates is there are times in our life when are broken, but their is always hope and support when you need it and 9 times out of 10 it closer than you expect. I absolutely loved this book and gave it 5 stars! You are missing out if you don't read it and the two books before it. Chef's kiss!

Absolutely in love with Mia and Luke. This one has become my absolute favorite from this series. Mia went through something that no one should go through. Glad she was able to come afloat even though life was not the same after that. Luke was always ready to be there for Mia even after all that happen. Even after she left. He was ready to keep pushing through after what he also went throught. But so glad life had other plans for them both ♡ So happy to have read their story and be part of Magnolia Falls.

Well if you haven’t read the other two books, you need to run to read them first. This book is full of healing journeys for a young lady with a host of negative things that happened in her life. The characters are some of my favorite and make me want to hang out at the ranch. Some spicy parts towards the end. I love that this book brought a lot full circle from the series. Relatively new author, so if you can’t handle a few oopsie’s in grammar or spelling, this is not for you. Looking forward to watching this author flourish and write other books.

I received this book as an ARC. Wow this was my first read by the author and wow. I cried, I laugh, I got excited for the characters. I felt all of the feeling throughout this book. The love the main characters had for each other is the kind of that you dream of to find. He loved her so much he allowed the love for her significant other that lost his life. So many would feel upset and uncomfortable by someone loving another person but he embraced her and allowed her to have her feelings. I will be reading another book!

The conclusion of the Magnolia Falls Ranch Series follows Mia as she leaves home after her boyfriend, Derek, dies in a tragic accident. She returns home 4 years later to meet with his sister to settle some affairs and ends up staying with her best friend Luke. During her time home she finds out many things she didn't know and starts to question whether or not leaving home was the right choice. This book packs an emotional punch and was a great end to the series. I loved revisiting some characters from the previous books and I love the representation in this book.

First, I want to say, I love this author. Her books are easy to read and fast-moving, and not hundreds of pages long (my kind of book). This is my 3rd book of hers that I’ve read; also, her books don’t have to be read in order; that’s a plus. ]
I would recommend this book to everyone. If you’re looking for laughs, tears, and the true feelings throughout your reading, this is it!! With that said, be sure to have your tissues, a fan, and if you laugh loudly, have something to laugh into.
I’m excited to read the author's next book!!!
Let me know what you think of the book.

What a beautiful story about Luke and Mia. This book touches on friendship and finding love again after grief. I love Luke's character and that C.A. Grieco's MMC is paralyzed. It really sheds a light on disability. This story will make you think about what's right here, right now. We aren't promised a tomorrow. Live with no regrets! This is my favorite book of the Magnolia Falls Ranch series.
