A chance meeting and a spontaneous marriage proposal leads Logan Archer on a first date that turns his dull, unhappy life around. With her help, he finally lands his dream job. But what Logan really wants is his dream girl to spend his time with.
He’s certain that girl is Kayla. He’ll do whatever is necessary to secure a future with her.
Kayla Murphy might be able to turn down Logan’s many proposals, but she can’t resist his charm, his many nicknames for her, or his ability to make her laugh when it’s the last thing she wants to do.
But unwanted distractions threaten what these two are building together.
Lindsay Paige is the author of multiple Young Adult, New Adult, and Sports romances. She also enjoys writing books with characters who deal with anxiety and depression, issues which are close to her heart. Lindsay is a North Carolinian who loves watching hockey, sharing puns, having conversations with her two dogs, rewatching episodes of M*A*S*H, and living her dream of writing books for a living.
I have read all of the Carolina Rebels books that are out so far and I wanted to see what Lindsay Paige would do with Logan. You met him in Sydney and Ian's books, Us At First (very little of him if at all) and It's Our Time. I like Logan and honestly I feel like the book really showed a lot of the struggle when you leave college. You don't really feel like an adult and you have to find a job but just a couple of months ago, you were in jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes. It is a weird time. I liked Kayla too. She is young but not immature. She has her own problems with dealing with her parent's divorce and keeping her parents happy with her major. It sounds weird but I remember thinking my parents were going not going to like my major and I considered changing it. These are real college struggles. Logan and Kayla hit off from the first moment but have some problems too. I really felt like this book captures real problems and growing pains. There is a little bit of mystery along with some comedy.
I am giving this book 4.6 stars out of 5. If you are snowed in today, go get this! Even if you aren't, go get this!
Hearts in Carolina is Lindsay Paige's newest New Adult series. Book 1 (Steady) features Logan Archer (a minor character in Lindsay's Carolina Rebels hockey romance series). You do not have to read the Carolina Rebels series prior to reading the Hearts in Carolina series, however I did. I really liked Logan in the Carolina Rebels series, so I was looking forward to reading Steady.
I enjoyed reading Logan's journey to finding "the one". Lindsay definitely kept us on our toes from the first time Logan meets Kayla Murphy. The novel was sweet and funny, with some more serious moments as the plot developed within the novel. I'm so glad that Logan finally got his HEA!
I love Lindsay Paige's books. I recommend Steady if you are looking for a good NA series to start!
*I received a free Advance Reader Copy in exchange for my honest thoughts/opinions of the author's book.*
This was a great "life" read! There's some drama, but for the most part, it's just a really sweet, fun story about a guy & a gal who meet, date, and follow the path of a relationship.
Logan's got a colorful past when it comes to the ladies, but from the moment he hears Kayla's voice, he's done for. *grin* Neither of them are perfect, and they make some mistakes, but they handle their business maturely & with a touch of humor. It was a different and refreshing way to tell their story!
And this happened to be the second book in a row I read where NICKNAMES played a key role in the banter, and I LOVED IT! Thumbs up! : )
