Sheer Love

Cherry Falls #2

by Morgan Leigh

Kenna
Kenna Feely never planned to raise a baby alone. At seventeen, with the father of her child behind bars and no way to tell him the truth, she was forced to grow up fast. Now nearly nine years later, she’s built a life for herself and her son in Cherry Falls—working as a hairdresser, keeping her head down, and protecting her heart. But when Cole Parker returns to town, everything she buried comes rushing back. He doesn’t know he has a son. And Kenna isn’t sure she’s ready to let him find out.

Cole
After serving time for a mistake he can’t take back, Cole Parker is just trying to start over. Cherry Falls was never home, but it’s the only place he has left—and the last place he ever expected to find Kenna Feely. The girl he couldn’t forget. The girl he walked away from without looking back. Seeing her again shakes everything loose inside him, but nothing prepares him for the truth she’s been carrying alone all these years. When Cole learns he’s a father, the ground shifts beneath his feet. Suddenly, he’s not just trying to rebuild his life—he’s trying to earn a place in hers. In her world. In their son’s. And the hardest part isn’t catching up on all he’s missed—it’s proving he’s the kind of man who deserves to be there now.

First: thank you so much for the opportunity to read your book! I thoroughly enjoyed the love and character development between Cole and Kenna. Morgan’s growing confidence in writing is so evident in this book. I’ve only read two books by her, but I can see how much her love for writing and her characters has improved with each book. Cole is my fav MMC.

I really enjoyed the journey of Kenna relearning love and trust alongside Cole in this second chance small town romance. Morgan’s ability to make compelling characters and evoke strong emotions in the heartfelt moments between Kenna and Cole is perfection. Cohen is the sweetest little boy and I loved how Cole immediately stepped up and tried to prove himself worthy to Kenna and Cohen.

The pacing and dialogue is excellent. Highly recommend to those who need a sweet story with healing vibes. No third act break up here! I love this series so far and I’m looking forward to the next book!

BONUS, Morgan adds recipes at the end as a lovely homemade touch 🌸🫶🏻🌷

Un libro muy lindo y fácil de leer aunque si se nota que la escritora es un poco principiante porque en algunas partes yo sentí que las ideas quedaban inconclusas y los últimos dos capítulos los sentí muy apresurados como si si o si ya se tenía que acabar el libro y escrito todo rápido. El trope del libro siento yo que pocas veces lo desarrollan bien y no es problema de esta escritora sino de la mayoría, porque me vas a decir tú que le vas a contar a un hombre que después de no sé cuántos años tuvieron un hijo y el va a reaccionar bien (?) yo entiendo que es un libro y tal pero, yo quiero un poquito de realismo, yo quiero ver llanto, rabia, negación, decepción, que cuestione a la mujer y todos eso pero bueno como digo es un problema de casi todas las escritoras que desarrollan este trope.

Sheer Love is a love story of second chances.

Cole and Kenna are high school sweethearts, but they are ripped apart when Cole goes to prison.

Now almost 10 years late Cole has been released, a lot has changed over that time but the love him and Kenna have for eachother remains.

When Cole went away Kenna realised she was pregnant and has been raising their son Cohen as a single parent.

Now that Cole is back, and chasing after Kenna she has to come clean and tell him about their son. Will it draw them further apart or will they finally get their happily ever after?

I really enjoyed this book, I love a second chance romance!

Thank you Morgan Leigh for the ARC 🙏

This book is about rebuilding trust and love! Morgan's writing has come a long way, and it shines in this heartfelt second-chance romance. The pacing is great, and the characters' personalities pop. Cohen is my new obsession, and the Feely siblings made memorable appearances. Morgan Leigh did great weaving the past and present, adding depth to the story. A touching read about love, heartbreak, and finding your way back to each other. Kenna and Cole's chemistry is electric. An emotional romance story that grabbed my attention.

Sheer Love is a heartfelt second-chance romance about two people who never wanted to separate but were forced apart because of one difficult decision.

The author does a great job moving between the past and present, allowing readers to see both the FMC and MMC’s thoughts and emotions. This adds depth to their story and shows the trials they faced along the way.

A touching read about love, heartbreak, and finding your way back to each other

✨ARC REVIEW✨
Sheer Love was a sweet and emotional romance with great second-chance vibes. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the Kenna and Cole. It was an easy, engaging read with heartfelt moments throughout. Definitely one to pick up if you enjoy emotional romance stories. 💕📚

This was such a cute little read with so much emotion. It keeps you hooked from start to finish. I loved both Kenna and Cole but I have to say the best character was Cohan he was such a sweet little boy. This was definitely a perfect second chance romance!

Kenna finds herself pregnant at 17 by her high school boyfriend who’s now in jail. She is now the owner of a hair salon in Cherry Falls. She’s trying to build a life for herself and her son Cohan. Cole finds himself retuning to Cherry Falls where he doesn’t know he’s a father yet. Kenna isn’t sure if she’s ready to tell him yet that he has a son. When Kenna finally tells Cole about Cohan he finds himself trying to prove himself to Kenna to be a part of hers and Cohan’s life but he’s also trying to rebuild his own.


Thank you Morgan for such a perfect ARC! 💜 I can’t wait to see what’s next 🥰

A story of relearning trust and love.

Morgan's confidence in writing has grown immensely from her first two books. Pacing is great and the characters personalities shine bright.

Tons of glimpses of Millie, Gabby, and Aura along with all the Feely siblings.

Cohen is my absolute favorite, I would put my life on the line for that boy. No slander allowed...

Long story short, you should read this book.

A love letter from an Arc reader 💌 NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DO SECOND CHANCE TROPE!!

First of all, this was a huge jump from the first book to this one. I was so drawn into the characters and their lives. I love each of these characters as if I knew them and omg COHEN! He’s such a cutie.

The scenes where they were just spending time together and Cohen’s day with Kenna had me in a chokehold.

There was still some grammar mistakes and continuity issues but not as much as I found in the first book. That can be fixed with more experience and editing!

Overall I’m falling in love with this series more and more! (The recipes at the end were a nice touch).
