Sapphire Falls #3
Getting Dirty
Travis Bennett is basically the perfect guy... he's also exactly the kind of guy Lauren has been avoiding for the past nine years.
She's been busy changing the world and worked way too hard to get hung up on a small town farmer with no ambitions beyond the borders of his cornfield.
Her sights are set far beyond Sapphire Falls, but she's already falling in love... with the tiny town.
Travis has everything he wants or needs—a quiet, simple life in his hometown, a successful farm surrounded by friends and family.
The last thing he needs is some fancy city chick looking down on everything he loves. He gladly agrees to show her that farm life isn't the place for Gucci heels and manicures.
But in order to make her hate the town he loves so much, things just might get a little dirty...

Getting Dirty by Erin Nicholas
Well, she’s gone and done it again. Erin has written another book that I have completely fallen in love with. And it just so happens that this book was one after my own heart! There is nothing I love more than a good ol’ country boy and a city girl who isn’t afraid to get a little dirty now and then! Getting Dirty is the 3rd book the Sapphire Falls series about Mason’s (the hero from book one) best friend Lauren Davis and local farmer Travis Bennett. Ohhhhh what can I tell you about Travis other than if he doesn’t make you want to live the country life, I’m not sure anything will. Travis is a super sexy, outdoorsy, good with his hands, hardworking, meat and potatoes and totally content with his life in Sapphire Falls kinda guy. He was raised there. Has the best memories from there. Can’t wait to raise his kids there. He even lives in the house his grandparents lived in before him. Why would he go anywhere else when everything he has ever wanted was right out his back door? Well, meet Laura Davis. She is the other half of IAS (her company owned with Mason) and is the opposite of all things country. She likes the hustle and bustle of the city. She loves expensive brands, great restaurants and beautiful locations. She has no intentions of giving up the excitement of her life to end up in small farming town, no matter that he best friend lives there along with the type of guys she’s attracted to the most…..country boys! Lauren needs Travis’ help to fall out of love with Sapphire Falls. Travis wants to make sure she doesn’t stick around long enough for anyone to fall in love with her. Enough said! You know how this works……all kinds of AMAZING things happen (I won’t give anything away) that you just have to read about for yourself! Let’s just say that with this book, you’re gonna get hot hicks, southern twang, bonfires, friendship, hot sex, romance and the sweetest nick names I’ve ever read!
Happy Reading!!

Erin Nicholas always produces must-read stories, and "Getting Dirty" is no different. "Getting Dirty" is the 3rd book in her Sapphire Falls series, and features Travis Bennett and Lauren Davis.
Lauren Davis was first introduced to readers in the first book in the Sapphire Falls series "Getting Out of Hand," which features her business partner, Mason Riley, at Innovative Agricultural Solutions as the hero. Lauren intrigued me in "Getting Out of Hand," so I was excited to hear she was going to get her own story.
Now that most of her friends and fellow co-workers at IAS have all moved to Sapphire Falls, Lauren is afraid to settle down and fall in love with the beloved town even more. She thinks of the perfect plan. Get Travis Bennett to make her fall out of love with Sapphire Falls. She wants to be turned off.
Travis Bennett is a farmer, who never even thought of leaving Sapphire Falls. He loves his town that much. His family and friends are there. The ladies love him. All is right. But there's just something about Lauren that gets to him. He just can't picture Lauren getting down and dirty. She's too "city" for him, but he wants to break down her walls. So he agrees to help Lauren. He can show her the downside of living in a small town. The mud, the Duggs, helping in the birth of a newborn calf, etc.
Honestly, this is one of the funniest books I've read that Erin has written. I laughed so hard to the point where I had tears in my eyes! How can turning each other off feel so good? Did Lauren and Travis honestly think that trying to turn each other off will work? It's like a plan just waiting to backfire! The way they try to turn each other off and the conversations they have when they try to do it, will have you dying with laughter!
I love "Getting Dirty"! I love this series. Most importantly, I love the stories Erin Nicholas tells. She knows how to captivate a reader, and she never fails into leaving me wanting more. Definitely looking forward to her writing more stories for this series!

So it's midnight and I just finished this amazing book. I started it earlier today and I just couldn't put it down. Lauren is an amazing woman looking for somewhere to fit in. She has been lonely most her life and scared to settle down. She is part owner of IAS also. Travis is one of the farmer boys who loves sapphire falls. He was born and raised along with his family. Sapphire Falls is a close knit group of citizens that would do anything for each other. Dr D as Travis calls her, has always liked the place, but it reminds her of her past. She enlists Travis to help her not like Sapphire Falls and to make sure she goes back to the city life that she knows. Travis thinks he's up for the challenge until one night after a party , his feelings change for the opposite. Travis starts to show her the real events that happen in the country and she feels a tug at her heart. They sit out under the stars one night and have a heart to heart conversation. She gets her demons out of her closet and tells him why she can't live there. Lauren gets an emergency call from her assistant telling her she is needed immediately in Haiti due to a situation getting out of hand. She drops everything and takes off running. Does she leave her heart with Travis or will he get up the courage to chase after her?
This is a great series and Most definitely a must read!

Lauren is Mason's best friend and loves their company with a passion. Unfortunately, that means that she has begun to feel left out as Mason spends more time now in Sapphire Falls and less with her. She's not jealous of Adrianne, she's just lonely and adrift. Travis Bennet is one of the hometown "boys" that remind her of her past but the attraction between them is electric. Let the games begin!

Small Town Infatuation
This series must be read in order. The first book is Getting Out Of Hand. The second book is Getting Worked Up. This is the third book.
Lauren feels that Sapphire Falls is a trap. She must not love the town. She left small towns behind in her rearview when she ran out of the small town she went to high school in and went straight on to Europe. She is a city girl! She enjoys sophistication and glamorous clothing! Travel and gourmet food! Not jeans and the same people and things to do day in and day out! Or at least that is what she tells herself to try and get over her escalating crush on Sapphire Falls... She definitely needs to stay far away from the good ole boy farmer Travis. Men like him are her kryptonite!
Travis is content in his life. He has his farm and his family and his friends. The only thing missing is a good woman to settle down with. But no one had ever quite been the right fit. Travis loves working with IAS and their products and equipment and knows that Mason and his company have been a huge boon to his beloved town and all the family farms in it. Their techniques and government money not to mention awesome new crops are really making life better. It's just that Lauren with her haughty and condescending ways just rubs him the wrong way. He really wants to teach her a lesson she won't soon forget.. The only problem is his nearly overpowering attraction to her.
This book had me laughing so loudly and often my sister kept asking me if I was feeling okay! It is fun and flirty and totally an engrossing read. I didn't understand how these two could possibly ever fit together but the way Nicholas has written it was breathtaking! I loved every minute of this book and cannot wait for the next one to come out!
***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy detailed steamier than steamy plotcentric sex scenes in their small town contemporary romances with real world issues and ALWAYS a HEA for her very loveable and realistic characters :)

Getting Dirty is the third in Erin Nicholas's fabulous Sapphire Falls series.
Lauren Davis is SO not a country girl--she's been there, done that, got the T-shirt, thank you very much. Her business partner and best friend Mason (his story is Getting Out of Hand, book one in Sapphire Falls) has fallen head over heels for this town and his beautiful bride, and because he now spends so much time in Sapphire Falls, Lauren ends up making frequent trips for business as well. But live in a small town? No way, no how! While she's charmed by so many of Sapphire Falls's charms and its charming residents, she's bound and determined not to give it her heart.
Travis Bennett is so much a country boy--he's a Sapphire Falls resident, born and bred, and he loves this town and its people. He also finds tweaking Lauren's chain incredibly entertaining and since she thinks he's nothing but a hick, he's going to hick it up all the more around her.
The thing is, neither Lauren nor Travis can deny that there's one powerful attraction they share. Whether or not the city slicker and the country boy can find common ground of course remains to be seen ;)
Ms. Nicholas outdoes herself yet again. I laughed and laughed and felt my heart ache a little with how sweet and hilarious Travis and Lauren are.
The bottom line? Hope Sapphire Falls has room for one more resident, because I am SO there.
Bring on the country boys--if they are anything like Travis, I'm ALL IN. Can't wait to return to Sapphire Falls, Ms. Nicholas!!

Love this author! Love this series! Love the characters, and the fictional town of Sapphire Falls. This was one of those stories that grabbed me, and I couldn't put it down. It was funny, and smart like the other 2 books in this series. And I actually cried when a calf was born...ha! Very endearing turning point of the story. Of course it makes me love my own small town even more. I kept thinking, 'we have that same stuff here! How lucky are we?' It also makes me love my husbands pick-up truck more too:-) Not giving any spoilers, but Travis is sexy as hell, and Lauren's character grew on me big time in this book! I wanted an epilogue of them down the road with them and their kids,...and chickens!

The story of Sapphire Falls continues with Lauren and Travis. Lauren is a city woman with country roots who is fighting her attraction to Sapphire Falls and wants Travis to show her all the reasons she doesn't want to live there. Travis is a man born and raised in Sapphire Falls who loves everything about his home town. The only problem with her strategy is the mutual attraction between them. Follow their journey and fall in love with the characters, I did. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next chapter in Sapphire Falls. I highly recommend this series. You will fall in love with the town and the people who live there. Another great read by Erin Nicholas.

Erin Nicholas has done it again! I have successfully fallen in love with Travis Bennett. There is nothing better than a country boy that can open up to experiences in the city and love a city girl that fits in both the city and country. Lauren was such a strong yet vulnerable character that stole my heart and made me want to be her friend.

Good God!
You're just not country if you can't admit your love for kettle corn, chickens and cupcakes!
This book will leave you laughing out loud, hungry and looking up world events while sitting on a wrap around porch with your dog and some Booze.
Erin knows how to write hometown!
highly recommend. ♡

Erin Nicholas always deliver a sexy, heartwarming story that puts a smile on my face. I could not stop reading Getting Dirty, her latest book in the Sapphire Falls series. Travis had me swooning with his country charm and sexy smile and Lauren was one very lucky lady. Travis helped bring out the more playful side of Lauren who took life and her work too seriously at times. She didn't want to fall in love with Sapphire Falls or local country farmer Travis but the more time she spent with him, the more she didn't mind getting down and dirty on the farm and in the bedroom or in a truck. I loved how this author infused humor in this story and I couldn't stop laughing at the shopping scenes and the Duggs boots. I also enjoyed the friendship and interaction of all the folks in this small town especially the one between Phoebe and Lauren. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Travis and Lauren fall in love and to realize that there's always a home to come back to in Sapphire Falls. There are some other characters I'd love to see get their own story because I do not want to say goodbye to this wonderful series.

I have said it before and I'll say it again.... I want to move to Sapphire Falls! Erin Nicholas must have something in her water when she comes up with these amazing men of hers. Then again her women are something else as well. Travis is a good ole' country boy who loves his town and Lauren is really only in Sapphire Falls for her friend Mason and their business as she would rather be back in the concrete jungle of Chicago because of a soured past with country boys.
Their romance is blazing from the words Grape Slushie. What really makes me fall in love with Erin's books again and again is that these couples are so intense but at the same time you can see the real life romance, the softer moments in their stories as well. She captures true life from the down and dirty, to the fun and flirty and every second in-between.

Just when you think it can't get any better, Erin does it again! The story of Lauren and Travis is a new angle on the 'fish out of water' series that is Sapphire Falls! The storyline is amazingly smart, sweet, sexy and fun. I was not a fan of Lauren in the previous books, but as always, Erin explains her past and takes us thru her present and a way that made me love her. That is the magic that is Erin Nicholas! She develops her characters while we aren't even looking and then all of a sudden, it sneaks up on you and makes for an amazing story. Thanks Erin, Is it too early to lobby for more books in the series?

Review copy provided for an honest review
I have loved Erin Nicholas’ Sapphire Falls series from the beginning and they’ve all been really good but Getting Dirty is exceptional. There was lightheartedness to this book that I needed at the time I read it and the characters were flat out funny often cracking jokes at each other’s expense but not in an ugly way, in a way that lets the reader know while they might not want to like one another they do. On top of entertaining characters, their situation was intriguing, and the sexual chemistry was off the charts leading to some very intense and searing hot intimate moments as well. Erin Nicholas is one of those authors who never disappoints me, while there are some books and some characters I like more than others she always puts out a quality product and this book is a prime example of her best work.
Travis Bennett is one of those heroes that I probably shouldn’t have loved but I did; he often said inappropriate things but I just got the feeling he did so to irritate Lauren Davis. Travis is all country boy; born and raised in Sapphire Falls he goes out of his way to exlemplify the country life. He loves his hometown, his neighbors, and he is there if anyone needs anything. He really is a good guy, a nice guy, but he tries to act like a bad boy mainly to throw Lauren off. Even though Lauren is co-owner of a company that works in agriculture, even though she’s an expert at conservation and renewable energy sources she doesn’t want the small town life; she’s been there, almost done that, and still has the battle scars to prove it. Thing is she loves everything about Sapphire Falls and she needs someone to help her get over it and so she asks Travis to help her and in my brain I’m thinking “big mistake, huge mistake,” because the heat rolling off these two could be an energy source for a small town during the coldest winter.
I found it amusing that the more Travis tried to convince Lauren to not want to stay in town the more embedded she got. I loved that the more time Lauren spent around Travis the more clearly he saw her and found that he enjoyed the things that made her different but also realized that what she most wanted was a place to call home and still be herself. These two saw a whole lot in one another a whole lot most people didn’t see and that is what made their budding relationship truly special.
I really urge you to take a chance on this series and discover for yourself what makes Sapphire Falls such a special place, like so many who never had any intentions of staying it grabs hold of your heart and won’t let go. I really wish it was a real town; I’d so be there because let’s face it Getting Dirty can be a whole lot of fun!

Another AWESOME read delivered in classic Erin Nicholas style!
Our third trip back to Sapphire Falls is filled with down home charm, good friends, fun, sass & lots of STEAMY sex. Lauren Davis is in danger of falling in love with the quaint town so enlists Travis Bennett’s help to discourage her from leaving city life behind to move there. Travis, for reasons of his own, agrees to her crazy proposal and the competition begins. What ensues are lots of sweet moments, hilarious antics, small town traditions, witty banter and sizzling hot sex –often in a truck, on a truck or against a truck. (Beware- If you do not currently own a truck, you may experience an insane urge to run out and purchase one.)
Gotta be honest, Lauren was my favorite from first introduction in Getting Out of Hand. She intrigued me with her intelligence, sexiness, loyalty and directness. I was curious where Erin would go with Lauren’s diverse lifestyle. I was surprised but in no way disappointed as the real Lauren was revealed. But the familiar, brazen Lauren was still around, especially when she took great pleasure in teasing Phoebe and others with her suggestive banter.
Joe Spencer from Getting Worked Up immediately stole my heart with his hotness. Surprisingly, Travis Bennett is giving him some stiff competition. Having spent my first 20 odd years in a small country town, I’m quite familiar with Travis’ breed of good ol’ country boy. Because of that, one would think I was immune to the flirting that comes so naturally to those boys. But when he growled Lauren’s nickname – a sexy sparkle in his eye, I’m sure ‒ turned on that aw-shucks teasing, started the cocky posturing and used that lazy drawl, I contemplated stepping out on poor Joe. (I know. I’m a little ashamed of myself, too.)
As Erin shows us, like home, Sapphire Falls isn’t a place we’ll never leave. But it’s a place we’ll long for her to take us back to. Hopefully, she won’t make us wait too long. The once-hated but now very fascinating Hailey is there just waiting for us to uncover her secrets, especially the call-you-on-your-shit attitude she’s sportin’ for one certain fella.
I absolutely loved Lauren & Travis’ story. You’ll have to trust me and do a little Getting Dirty yourself.

But when he growled Lauren’s nickname – a sexy sparkle in his eye, I’m sure ‒ turned on that aw-shucks teasing, started the cocky posturing and used that lazy drawl, I contemplated stepping out on poor Joe. (I know. I’m a little ashamed of myself, too.)
As Erin shows us, like home, Sapphire Falls isn’t a place we’ll never leave. But it’s a place we’ll long for her to take us back to. Hopefully, she won’t make us wait too long. The once-hated but now very fascinating Hailey is there just waiting for us to uncover her secrets, especially the call-you-on-your-shit attitude she’s sportin’ for one certain fella.
I absolutely loved Lauren & Travis’ story. You’ll have to trust me and do a little Getting Dirty yourself.

And here's another Erin Nicholas book that slammed it out of the park. I was very much looking forward to Lauren and Travis' book. Lauren had me intrigued from the beginning of the series with Getting out of Hand. Her lifestyle was not one for small towns (small towns aren't very good at things out of their comfort zone...like the fact that she was bi) but we get to know more and more of her past and see that she actually fits the town, and they even embrace her and try to suck her right in with it's charm. Even if she really, really hates that she loves the town.
And Travis was such a gentleman in Getting Worked Up with Phoebe I just knew I was going to really like this small town guy. Sexy, smart, and kind, Travis was everything a woman could want. Even Lauren admitted he is totally the type of guy she'd fall for. Which was why she thought he was the perfect person to show her everything that she shouldn't like about Sapphire Falls. Silly woman. Lol. She really must have thought she had some iron willpower because if I had Travis all to myself the way she did, my wall of stubborn will would have crumbled within the first five minutes. He's a sexy beast! And a gentleman! Hard to resist that combo.
I would really love to spend just a few hours in Erin's brain. I want to know how she comes up with these addicting reads. She is able to bring these characters to life and make these places seem so real that I want to climb in my car and locate all of these place so I can make those people my best friends. It takes a lot of writing talent to be able to do this in every single one of her books too. Not every author is able to keep you engaged and keep you combing back for more. Erin's my pimp and I'm addicted to her books. If it's wrong, I don't want it to be right!

Dragged to Sapphire Falls due to her best friend falling in love (Book 1), Lauren Davis finds herself in trouble when she starts falling in love with a town that can’t meet her needs and she has no plans of staying in.
Enter Travis Bennett. A sexy famer that embodies everything Lauren doesn’t want in her life and annoys her to no end with his laid back attitude and unwillingness to see the anywhere outside of his home town.
But Lauren can’t deny her attraction to the farmer, and finds the both get on fine as long as their mouths are doing anything but talking. Namely roaming each other’s bodies as Lauren makes a deal with Travis that she think will show her a bad side of the town.
Neither of them expects the fireworks that follow and suddenly they both find themselves in a position where neither is willing to change regardless of what their hearts want.
Another great read from author Erin Nicholas in this series. She continues to develop her cast of characters and the result is yet another winner where I find myself anxiously awaiting the next in the series.

You know that happy feeling you get when you finish a good book? That is exactly how I feel every single time I finish an Erin Nicholas book. That happy feeling is immediately followed by a very strong desire for more. lol There are plenty of other feels I get while reading Erin's books but the overwhelming feeling is sheer happiness. Erin will rip my heart out and tear it to pieces only to wind up putting it back together again in the end. I am always excited to read a new book from her because I have no doubts I will be sucked into an amazing story. Getting Dirty is no different. There were several moments when my husband gave me odd looks because I was laughing so hard while reading this book. The lust between Travis and Lauren is through the roof. No one could deny these two were going to burn up the sheets once they finally made it to a bed and they did in a big way! I was thrilled to find out there are more planned for this series. I can't wait to read more about Sapphire Falls!

Getting Dirty by Erin Nicholas
5 stars
ARC received in exchange for an honest review
Travis Bennett and Lauren Davis, Travis is a small town farm boy who loves his town of Sapphire falls, his family and his friends he doesn't see himself ever leaving. Lauren is in town for work for a month and finds herself falling for the small town life. Lauren and Travis come up with a plan to keep Lauren from falling completely for the small town life, and decide that will only work of they are dating and hate each other, yeah that doesn't work.
“This was Sapphire Falls. He'd spent his whole life here. He knew ninety percent of the people waling by and standing in line. Which meant what he was about to do was going to make headlines. And he didn't give a shit.”
“These will hick-ify me just fine.”
I have been a fan of Erin Nicholas since I first discovered her books and this book did not disappoint. Erin sucks you into the town and you never want to leave, I find myself wishing I lived in Sapphire falls.

Who knew Getting Dirty could be so much fun. I'm pretty sure I went to high school with Travis Bennett. He's a cocky farmboy with an ultra sweet side who's not looking to settle down. He's just looking for a good time. But there's something about Lauren Davis that gets to him (not that he's happy about that). Lauren has fallen in love with Sapphire Falls, a town not so far reserved from where she grew up. Only she doesn't want to love the town. She wants to stay enamored with her city life. She knows her weakness (aka farmboys and small towns, um but this is Travis were talking about. Who wouldn't fall for that guy?) She enlists Travis's help to show her the downside of Sapphire Falls. But darn if that old farmboy weakness doesn't just bite her in the butt.
The book for me captured that small town vibe. There's something about a guy who's content in his life but not afraid to leap from the box to show that special someone that he too can adapt. What better way to spend an evening than Getting Dirty?

You need to stop what you are doing and buy this book. You will not be disappointed at all! From the first sentence of this story you will be transported from your life and placed in this small farm town where everyone knows everyone and accepts the outsiders as thier own! You become fast friends with Lauren and Travis and the rest of the gang! Before you realize it you want to call Lauren and yell at her for being stubborn, you want to push her in the right direction and then give the tough, amazingly smart woman a hug! You will be patting Travis on the back for his spur of the moment romantic ideas, go fishing or hunting with him as well as just hanging out at the local bar catching up after a long day on the farm. When the book ends and you are transported back to reality you will find yourself thinking hmm I wonder what Lauren is doing today? Does Travis need help on the farm? Seriously an amazing series and a must read! Erin Nicholas could write the phone book and it would be an instant New York Times best seller! She is a writing genius!

Ahhhh Travis! The sexy Farm Boy. Lauren's attraction to him and his to her is something neither of them want. Travis agrees to Lauren's plan to show her all of the reasons she would NOT want to move to Sapphire Falls and fall in love with a farm boy...any farm boy. In the process, she ends up falling more in love with the town and the farm boy but they both know it will never work. She is destined for more than small town life. She has a company to run now that Mason has married and moved to Sapphire Falls. The future of their company depends on her, right?
Erin Nicholas makes me fall more in love with the little town of Sapphire Falls with each story she tells. I want to move there! Small town life is such a breath of fresh air. Sexy farm boys, bonfires, friendships, family traditions, love, and sizzling sex in truck beds. I can't wait for my next adventure in Sapphire Falls, Nebraska, U.S.A.

I loved this book! That's really no surprise since I always love Erin Nicholas books, but there is a reason for that, she's good! In this third book of Erin's new Sapphire Falls series we are treated to the story of Travis and Lauren. Travis Bennett is always getting Lauren Davis dirty, in more ways than one. But Lauren soon discovers that maybe it's ok to not be quite so clean. She wants to hate life in the small town of Sapphire Falls but secretly she loves it. Lauren's enlists the help of hometown boy Travis to show her how awful and boring life in Sapphire Falls can be and make her want to get out of town, but her plan is destined for failure. The pair have off the charts chemistry and even Lauren, the unbelievably smart bisexual, can't deny sizzling hot chemistry. This is a great continuation of the Sapphire Falls series and I can't wait for more!

Welcome Back to Sapphire Falls! This is the third book in the series and it is about Lauren Davis and Travis Bennett. I have been curious about Lauren since the first book so I was really excited to read her story. She is such an interesting character and I loved reading about her. Oh Travis, I don't even know where to begin with him. He is hot, and cocky and oh so fun! He is exactly what a country boy should be like. And the other Bennett boys, I can only hope that there will be more of them in my life in the near future!
When I read a book in the Sapphire Falls series, it feels like coming home. I feel like I could live there and be friends with the residents. I enjoy series because you get to re-visit old friends and learn about what is new in their lives. Erin's books make me laugh, and they make me happy. You should read this series if you haven't yet.

Small town fun:
Travis loves his life in Sapphire Falls…its a small town life and all that means..farming, getting dirty, swimming in the river, cold beer on a Friday night…etc. He has never ventured beyond Sapphire Falls and sees no reason to… until Lauren Davis comes into his life. Lauren appears to be his antithesis… a city girl who loves to shop, to eat at expensive restaurants, to travel and to experience life at its best. But deep down inside, she is a country girl who LOVES country boys! They are both passionate about their lives.. but with different focuses.
Getting Dirty is their story… full of small town fun… a festival complete with a kissing booth, country boys and their pick-up trucks, nights under the stars, and plenty of country charm. Come and sit a spell and join the fun.

Once again Erin Nicholas brings us back to Sapphire Falls. The story of "city girl", Lauren and "country boy", Travis. Lauren so wanted to believe that she did not like small country towns but Travis was bound and determined to change her mind. Lauren's main objective was to hate Sapphire Falls. They soon found out they have "different focus but the same drive and same passion" I loved the flirty between these two, with laugh out moments. It was great to catch up on previous characters.
This book is part of a series, can be read as a stand alone, but so much better to read in order.

Erin Nicholas does it again with a smokin hot book. The chemistry between Travis and Lauren is sizzling, but they fight it along the way. I love their bickering and squabbling, as it adds more to their already crazy relationship. Loved seeing their relationship grow from those of acquaintances to a lot more. And love Travis' s cocky country boy attitude :). Definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fantastic steamy read

I loved Lauren and Travis's story!!!! I had been so excited and anxiously awaiting for Lauren to get her HEA and I wasn't definitely not disappointed! I enjoyed getting to know them both and learn what made them the way they were. And of course, a visit back to Sapphire Falls was great!!! Erin Nicholas has definitely delivered a town I will never forget!!!

I LOVE Travis, and surprisingly I really like Lauren too. I didn't think I would like Lauren from the other two books but she has proven herself in this book. Erin Nicholas did a wonderful job again. This book is wonderful and I recommend it to anyone who wants to lose themselves in a wonderful book.
