If you want a laughing out loud romance, this is the one. Hannah is known by most of her friends as the sweet, nice and somewhat shy girl. But now she is a grown blossomed woman with wit and sassiness. The pranks and misunderstandings abound and new and very funny friends and family members are now in the picture too. Finally her all time crush is back in town and they have a chance of taking it to higher temperatures. But all those pranks and misunderstandings will separate them or what they have will be stronger than that? That´s an easy and enjoyable read.

I like Lee, he is very determined to claim his woman. I like Hannah too, she's very sensible and hopelessly attracted to him regardless of everything else that is going on. The comedy alone makes this more than worth the time to read, it is so humorous that I had several laugh out loud moments, absolutely love that. It also deals with some serious stuff that both characters are dealing with which are heartwarming. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I liked book one but I LOVED this second instalment. Some unexpected twists that had me laughing my head off and a few teary eyed moments. These characters feel like family living in another province. Can not wait for book 3!

Hannah has finished college, and is finally home to take over her family's real estate business. Lee has always wanted his own law practice in Twin Oaks, and as a successful attorney, he's making that dream a reality. He's also wanted Hannah, and when she comes home, they finally start seeing each other or something like that. OMG, this story had me rolling in laughter throughout, until my sides screamed. Reece Taylor has such a gift for humor in stories it's unreal, especially since those moments just seem to come off so realistic, it's like it could be my own life. There's heat as well, because that greatest night of their lives set the sheets on fire. Of course, it set the stage for a push & pull situation that usually makes me crazy, but this time, I couldn't stop laughing, which was refreshing. And there's a cast of secondaries, who also add to the humor, plus depth as well, because of the family dynamics. This was a great story that I couldn't get enough of, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This book will have you laughing hysterically from all the antics all the characters get involved in on their ways to their HEAs. The story is mainly about Hannah and Lee and finally finding their way to being together. It's all in the timing according to Lee. They connect at Hannah's brother's wedding, but then things get a little side tracked once they return home. Hannah thinks that Lee is running hot and then cold and Lee thinks that Hannah is just ignoring his texts and voicemails. In person, they can't keep their hands off each other, but apart they cannot seem to stay connected. Between brothers, sisters, family and assorted friends this story just stays wild and crazy. I loved every minute of reading this book. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a way to brighten your day.

This is another great book in the Twin Oaks Series. A great read about small towns with big personalities. I love the way the author builds characters that are both likable and relatable. There are some fun developments as Hannah and Lee work out their long standing attraction to each other. And by fun, I mean hilarious! If you have ever lived in a small town, you will be able to relate to these colorful characters as they involve themselves in each other’s lives.
Along with the heart, there is plenty of heat. It is easy to see why Hannah has held a torch for Lee all these years, and it is gratifying to see how Lee finally comes around. There are some bumps along the way, and even though there is a sad tinge to Hannah’s predicament, it all works out in a way that will leave you laughing! I recommend reading this fun and flirty book about finally settling in with your true love.

What a laugh out loud read
This is quickly becoming a favorite series of mine. This small town romance had me laughing so much and I loved it. Hannah has loved Lee for years, but every time he comes to a function, he has a beautiful girl on his arm. Things change for them on the night of Conrad and Rachel’s wedding. Hannah sneaks out the next morning and Lee doesn’t catch her in time to get her number. He sees her cousin, Shelly and asks her for it and she gives him a number, lol. We soon learn it’s not Hannah’s number, but wait until you find out whose number she gave him. Priceless. I won’t leave any spoilers, so grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with all these characters and the small town of Twin Oaks, Louisiana.

Great brother's best friend romance! Hannah has had feelings for Lee for a long time now, he has feelings for her, but he really messed up bringing other girls around. There are many misunderstandings and honestly, they both bungled things up a bit. There were some laugh out loud moments like "right meow",the office stripper and many more. Sexting with grandma was priceless! I loved getting to know the rest of the family and their many friends. Not too much drama just mostly fear on Hannah and Lee's part. I loved Justin with the baby! Can't wait to see how that progresses. Great book! Looking forward to more.

I received an ARC copy of this book recently and this is my unbiased review of said book.
This is my second book of Reece Taylors and I love it.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I binge read it, which right now is not hard to do.
You have Hannah and Lee who both moved home to take over a business. They have both wanted each other as long as they can remember. But they have never acted on it.
It's quite a comical book actually, with some love and a HEA thrown into it. What Hannah will do to get her man is hilarious! All while living in a very small town where gossip spreads like wild fire!

This is the second book in this series and is Hannah and Lee’s story. Hannah has returned to her home town after college in order to take over her family’s real estate business. Lee is a successful lawyer, and someone that Hannah has always had a crush on, but was never sure what he was feeling, especially with family dynamics involved. This is a well written story which is humorous and romantic, which all had me intrigued throughout. I look forward to reading more of this authors’ work.

WOW, oh wow. This was an amazing read. From the moment that I picked it up, I was hooked.

The characters are so real that you feel as though you know them personally and want to be with them no matter what they need to go through and the story will grab you and not let you go. Once you are done you need to read more, no doubt about it.
This is a must read and needs to be on your TBR list, no doubt about it.

Hannah was always shy in school until she graduates college and goes back home to take over her father's real estate business she is determined to get the man that she has always wanted. Lee has always wanted Hannah but never acted on it until she comes back and he knows this is his chance to make her his own. She is feisty and sassy and when these two meet at her brothers wedding their chemistry is off the charts but they have a hard time staying connected. There are some very hilarious situations in this story and some really hotness between Hannah and Lee.

I absolutely love the characters in this series! Lee and Hannah's struggles grabbed my attention in book one, and their story does not disappoint. There are some hilarious twists throughout that had me laughing hysterically. The funny parts balanced perfectly with both the sexy and sweet parts. Anyone who loves lighthearted romance or just wants a break from angsty reads should take a chance on these.

Hannah and Lee are a great couple and I loved following their story! Reece Taylor has written a cute, funny novel with some quirky characters and a few misunderstandings for good measure. Lives up to the cute romances of old and kept me very happy and glued to the pages! I'm more than happy to add Lee to the harem!!

While I really enjoyed book one in this series, book two I absoultley loved! Lee and Hannah are the types of characters that you can't help but fall in love with. The author has a way of catching your attention from page one, and never looking back. Amazing writing, and highly recommend this series to lovers of small town romances with a touch of all the feels.

Loved the story about Hannah and Lee. A love long in the making. Both were secretly in love with each other but refused to take the first step(for differenr reasons). So so funny sometimes. Awesome was the thing with the number, ould not stop laughing. I love this small town series and can not wait for te next one.

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This is book two in the series and a standalone read but I cannot wait to grab the next one to read about this small town group. This one about Hannah and her life in Twin Oaks and just how Lee comes back home and opens up a law firm and how his life changed.

What a sweet, sweet story. A novel with a lot of humor in it. And the warmth of family and friends! Easy to read, finding characters from an earlier part and how their life goes on. Great ideas, like the messages that Lee sent from his phone. How could you have imagined that! And then the story of the bachelorette party in New Orleans. Just hilarious, loved it.
Highly recommended!

A wonderful read
I so loved Hannah and Lee's story. This one had me laughing out loud several times. Hannah's grandma is something else as well as Lee's mother. Such a wonderful romantic story.

Given ARC for honest review.
Bless Your Heart is the first book i have read from the author Reece Taylor and it was a cute romantic story of Hannah and Lee.
Bless your heart is full of hot and heavy sex scenes and even more hilarious over the top comedy that takes place of the course of Lee trying to date the one girl he has tried to avoid his whole life. Hannah and Lee's dating style is definitely out of the norm and straight to unconventional, what starts off as one of the greatest nights of their lives turns into a game of hot and cold.
Bless your heart is a cute love story that will be a quick read once you start the book. I did notice straight off the back that it was part of a series, so i would recommend reading the first book then reading Bless Your Heart just because i feel it would help you understand the back story to some of the characters better.

Enjoyed this so much—I lost track of how many times it made me laugh out loud, and not a ton does that. Taylor absolutely has a knack for humor and it makes this book go really fast. I’ll likely read it again, as I still think some of Hannah’s antics are hilarious. This is well-edited as it’s also kept within believable realm for me. Keeping it real makes it somehow even funnier. I’m not as frustrated, waiting for this wannabe-couple to work things out already because I’m so entertained.
Of course if you read ‘Mama Knows Best’, you’ll be wanting this one, needing to know how things go after that ending. If you didn’t read it, no big deal—I strongly recommend doing so, even if it’s out of order. This book does pick up right where ‘Mama’ leaves off. The cast of Twin Oaks is as weird/adorable/lively/quirky as ever, and I feel like I’ll never get enough of this town.
Continuity is on point.
Characters are fairly well developed.
Twin Oaks itself and its businesses are well-developed characters as well.
I strongly recommend this series, especially this installment to all. It’s funny, sweet, heated, and there’s just enough drama.
Cannot wait for more.
4.5 stars

Love the name of the book. Living in the South I know saying it isn't a compliment. The book was fun. I am definitely enjoying this author's work. The editing could be tweaked but it doesn't deflect from the story.
Fav quote:
Cam opens Cash’s gift—nipple cream, butt paste, and some sort of special diaper disposal thing. Cash groans. I guess there are worse things than the latest model breast pump.
She has the same values I grew up with, and I know those values will be instilled into our children.
