Finding Ronan’s Heart is book two in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp series by Melanie Moreland. Be still my little heart, Melanie has done it again. My eyes watered so many times during this book, in the best of ways. So many moments that just made my heart flip right over in my chest. So many times I just wanted to climb right into the pages and squeeze everyone so tight. This was such a wonderful book and I hope you’ll read on and let me tell you a little bit about it.
Ronan Adam Callaghan is the son of Aiden and Cami, and the oldest of their triplets. He, Paul and Jeremy were inseparable growing up in the way triplets should be. But now that they are adults, Paul and Jeremy have moved into the next phases of their lives, leaving Ronan feeling a little left behind. He began to realize that he wanted to be seen as just Ronan, not as part of a trio. For someone to ask him what he wanted, not to just defer to what his brothers wanted. Ronan was the quietest of the trio, the caregiver. Now it’s time for him to find out what he wants. And he did, the night he walked into the diner. All it took was one look and that was it. His life was forever changed.
Beth Jones is twenty five years old. Her life is one big chaotic mess. She is going to school, working as a waitress, baking her delicious cakes and caring for her twelve year old brother. She shares a house with her friend Paige and Paige’s little daughter, Lucy. They are all each other has, and they’ve formed their own little family unit. Life was hard for the both of them but they had each other.
The night Ronan walked into Nifty Fifty, the diner where she worked, she was stunned. He was a huge man and quite possibly the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. It had been years since Beth had been interested in anyone and that had ended with her being badly hurt. She is a package deal with her brother. What man would want her with all her baggage? But Ronan was persistent and she couldn’t refuse him. And so it began.
Ronan is smitten. He can think of nothing else but Beth. And he has also fallen for her little brother. He is enjoying that Beth is getting to know him without knowing who his family is, about his wealth or standing in the community. He knows that eventually he’ll have to tell her, introduce her to his huge family. But then she wouldn’t just be his Beth anymore. He’s not ready to share her yet. But as each day passes, he knows the truth will be harder and harder for Beth to accept.
“You share your life with the family, but your world is the person you love.”
Every single thing about this book was beautiful. I always love getting to spend time with the huge BAM/ABC family. Poor Ronan was struggling to find his own identity. But his family was right there for him when he was ready. Maybe even before he was ready. He just had to finally let them in. Because that is what these people do. They wrap each other up with love. And once both Beth and her brother Evan, and her roommate Paige and little Lucy were brought into their world, they wrapped them up as well. These people care nothing about blood. They are a found family and once you’re in their midst, they fill you right up with love.
This is a book of finding your one and only, of family made not by blood but bound with love. Of acceptance, trust, persistence and so much love. As always, the epilogues were wonderful. I don’t think I’ve ever closed one of Melanie’s books without a huge smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Thank you again, Melanie Moreland, for making my world just a little bit brighter.

Ahhh!! <3 Wow, I Loved everything about this story!!
FINDING RONAN’S HEART is the second book in the ABC series but can be read as a standalone. Ronan is the ‘oldest’ triplet by just a few minutes but takes his status seriously and is always looking out for and deferring to his brothers. He meets Beth, a curvy and cute waitress at the Nifty Fifty dinner and she only sees him as Ronan, not part of a trio.
“There were moments I felt invisible and alone, which was weird when I was in a roomful of people I loved and who loved me.”
Ronan is so sweet and swoony as he woos Beth, befriends her brother, and charms her best friend. But when Ronan’s two lives collide he has to find the right balance and convince Beth that he is still the man she fell for.
“I found my heart the day I lost it to you. You hold it and keep it beating.”
Wonderful narration added even more depth to a story I already loved. Definitely worth a listen even as a reread.
I swooned, I laughed, I cried and I completely lost my heart to Ronan!!
-5+ Stars!!-

What can I say, you know with a Melanie Moreland story you are in safe hands. Its pure romance, Good solid men and strong sassy heroines, you cant ask for more.
I love this story of Ronan finding his own space in the world, finally putting himself first and finding his reward in Beth what a beautiful couple they make. The little family he bonds with and builds into his life. I so wanted happy endings for them all and there are so many happy endings here that this book is like a warm hug.
I adore how this family loves. They throw themselves behind you 100%, once you are in you are family and there is a lot of love and support to go around.
The school scene got me, those protective boys! I had a lump of emotion lodged in my throat most of the way through this book, it was just beautiful!

Moreland grips you by the heart, before she sets about capturing the senses. Every heartache feels like the first time. Ronan is the sweetest blend of white knight and heartbreaker. He dares to be vulnerable. He loves hard and hurts deeply. Beth is a fighter with a tragic past, a hopeful future and an open heart that has an impact on everyone she meets. From battered hearts to endearing romance, Moreland continues to speak the language of the heart with inspirational stories, irresistible romance and unforgettable characters that leaves the eyes damp and the heart full every time a page is turned. Finding Ronan's Heart is just the latest in a long line of hard to put down and easy to revisit stories.

I went into this book with an idea of how Aiden Callaghan’s son was gonna be. I was wrong, Ronan was so much more than what I expected him to be. He is a little bit of Cami and a whole lot of Aiden but overall he is just Ronan. I can’t even tell you how many times I laughed, cried and swoon in this heartwarming book by Melanie Moreland. The BAM and ABC family hold such a special place in my heart and seeing them all come together gets me every time. This is a series that will give you the warm fuzzies and I highly recommend this book to people that love special feeing that family brings. Ronan and Beth are a breath of fresh air and dealt with one major hurdle in their relationship but with the help of family they jumped it together. So many good things happens in this book and makes me look forward to more from the ABC group. Finding Ronan’s Heart is a soul-stirring, up in your feels, unputdownable, I can’t get enough of all the characters type of read. You will laugh, swoon, burst with happiness and even shed a few tears. It is the complete package for any contemporary romance reader out there. An absolute 5 plus stars must read!

Well I gotta say this book officially sucked me in, tore me apart and put me back together. There were gasps, laughs and many tears shed while reading Ronan’s story.
Beth and Ronan were perfect for one another, exactly what the other needed without even knowing. I loved their instant chemistry and how they just fit from the start.
Evan is amazing, Paige and Lucy are amazing, and if I’m being honest Lucy is a show stealer with her adorableness.
The fact that everyone is mentioned during the book, shows up to support or shows up to tell what an idiot someone was is fabulous. Once a book ends we always want more of those characters and Melanie always delivers for us!
Always worth the wait but always left wanting more because her books are THAT good. Never wanting it to end. Thanks for sharing these brilliant characters and stories!

Let me start by saying I still consider myself a rookie when it comes to reading Melanie Moreland's books, but oh how I love them! Each book is its own work of art. Ronan and Beth's story just shows how her artistry continues to evolve, and I love it!
What must it be like to be surrounded by so much family, so many people who care for you, who love you, but who you feel are constantly in need of you. Who do you get to need?
Or maybe you have almost know one but you forge ahead because it isn't just your happiness on the line it's someone who for now relies on you to keep them go.
This is Ronan and Beth! They both are in search of something more that connection that not necessarily makes them the needy one but allows for their heart and soul to need some one. Because when you're the person everyone comes to expect to be there you really do start to need that person who puts a fire back in your soul, sparks hope back in your heart and brings light back into your life even when you didn't realize it was all that dark.
The beauty of this couple will definitely get you in the feels so have your tissues, chocolates, and other reading goodies at the ready. But don't worry in good Melanie fashion there will be plenty of swooning, laughs, smiles, and some might blush. 😉
But you will absolutely finish this book happy.

Every time I read a Melanie Moreland book I am completely blown away in the most magnificent ways. This story has won my entire heart even more than her previous books. With Ronan being on of three, he is easily overlooked except when it comes to Beth who only sees him. Their relationship quickly blossoms, but with secrets looming she will have to learn to forgive. Not only does he have a beautiful relationship with Beth he also forms a special bond with her brother which melted me even further. Each character was done to perfection and brings such a unique interest to the entire story.
While reading this I was thoroughly impressed by how seamlessly the story was woven between the BAM generation and the ABC generation. I cried, I laughed, and I swooned HARD. This book is the definition of romance perfection. Melanie has perfected her craft and I couldn't have asked for a better story for Ronan and Beth, she pulled out all the stops for this one. It was a story that will stay with me for a very long time and one that every romance reader should read.

I loved this!!
Tired of being one of the "Callaghan triplets", Ronan is excited to meet someone who doesn't know about his family, his company or his wealth. Beth is reluctant to date at all, between her brother, her studies and her job, she barely has time to sleep, never mind take on a guy. But Ronan is determined and Beth is totally smitten.
This newest addition to the ABC series had me laughing, crying and fanning myself! Ronan and Beth's story kept me up late into the night. I loved these characters and loved catching up with some of our old favorites!! Finding Ronan's Heart is a must read!!

This is book two in the Vested Interest series. This book has ALL the feels! I love this family so much! This book may be titled “Finding Ronan’s Heart” but this book sure did capture my heart!
Ronan is a triplet and the son of Aiden and Cami from the BAM series. Ronan, being the oldest triplet, always felt like he never had his own identity. After his brothers begin dating twins, he feels a little left behind and lost and begins his journey to be seen just as himself, not just part of a trio. One fateful night he walks into the diner where Beth works as a waitress and the sparks fly.
Beth’s life could be considered the “hot mess express” and the last thing she needs is another man to make her feel like she is not worthy. She works as a waitress, goes to school for meteorology, bakes cakes on the side to make extra money, all while caring for her disabled brother, Evan, after a tragic accident killed their parents.
Ronan quickly falls for the curvaceous blond with the curly hair AND her little brother and the feelings are mutual from Beth and Evan towards Ronan. The problem is Ronan does not want to share them with his family …yet. He just wants something for himself. What happens when Beth finds out Ronan is not who she thought he was all along?
I loved everything about this book! It is always nice to revisit the great big BAM/ABC family. The outpouring of love, support and acceptance from the family towards Beth and Evan was phenomenal! You may need a tissue or two but it’s totally worth it! This story is just BEAUTIFUL in every way! I don't know how Melanie Moreland has done it but I love the ABC group just as much as the BAM ones!
There is also a side story within this book of Beth’s, roommate, Paige, and her cute daughter, Lucy. I can’t wait for their story!

Ronan loves his huge messy family, but feels like he is overlooked. He is the oldest triplet, and always feels responsible for his two younger (by mere minutes) brothers. He has such a kind, giving heart, he always defers to everyone else and rarely has his own personal preferences or needs met.
Then Ronan stops in the Nifty Fifty Diner and sees a beautiful waitress that tongue-ties him and makes him feel like a teenager with his first crush! Little does he know that Beth feels the same way!
Beth looks at him and sees Ronan. Not "One of the triplets.". Not Aiden and Cami's son. Not part of BAM or ABC, but just Ronan. A man who is falling for a woman. And how he treats Evan and little Lucy, oh, I could just swoon if I did things like swooning.
I could read these series forever! This family is like my relatives! I know them all so intimately and love them all so much! Melanie can make book people into my best friends! She is a magician! I wish I could give this book more stars! It is definitely worth more! And did I tell you there is an epilogue? AND a 10 year epilogue? I LOVE epilogues!

Finding Ronan's Heart is Book #2 in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp Series by Melanie Moreland and oh my goodness, this book make my heart soar! I think everyone knows how much I adore the BAM boys and these books that follow the second generation of the these men couldn't have been written any better. They are uplifting, sweet and thought-provoking reads. I adored Gracie & Jaxson's story and if it's possible, I adored Ronan & Beth's just as much if not more. Ronan is the "oldest" of the Callaghan triplets and trying to find his own way and Beth is doing the same and when these two come together it's unforgettable and heartwarming. Ms. Moreland's writing just keeps getting better and better! These stories make my heart flutter, my eyes water and make me so very grateful for all of life's blessings. Ms. Moreland has a way of writing secondary characters that feel like they're the main characters! Evan, Lucy and Paige grabbed my heart and pulled me in and never let go. Everything about this read is pure perfection, but most importantly that family isn't always blood....found family can sometimes be even better! Another 10+ star read from Melanie Moreland!

Finding Ronan’s Heart
(Vested Interest: ABC Corp #2)
Written by: Melanie Moreland
The world needs more Ronan’s! No, really it does. The man is swoon worthy. Yes, he’s handsome, bright, kind, and he puts pretty much everyone before himself and although it is working for everyone else, it’s not working for Ronan. He’s use to being one of three, oldest triplet, he takes his job of watching out for his two triplet siblings seriously but he watches out for everyone else as well.
He listens, he remembers, he cares! Let’s face it he needs someone JUST. FOR. HIM. He needs someone who puts him first, someone who worries about him, someone who cares about him. Not a lot to ask is it?
Who knew that popping into the Nifty Fifty’s Diner would set his world spinning. Her name was Beth, she was cute, had curly hair with all shades of blonde and a cute nose with freckles. He didn’t know he liked freckles until Beth came along. By the end of dinner he knew he liked her and so he became a regular at the diner. Big, strong, handsome Ronan was bowled over by a cute waitress and he fell HARD!
Melanie Moreland, this woman, she knows how to touch our hearts with her characters and their stories. In Finding Ronan’s Heart, she gave us some new people to love and they fit right in with the BAM and ABC gang.
She has the perfect recipe, blending humor and heartache with a dash of angst, a drop of hope and a whole lotta love, she gives us beautiful stories to brighten our day. This series just continues to give!

Ronan Callaghan is a talented architect for an extension of BAM called ABC. He's the driving force of the design team where he works alongside his brothers. He grew up with a huge blended family and is the oldest of triplets. They share a unique bond, and do everything as a unit. His brothers mean everything to him, but lately life is changing and they are going in different directions. He's always been the leader who puts everyone else before himself, but he's ready to make his own choices. To not just be one of the Callaghan boys, but just Ronan for a change. He feels lonely and lost, and thinks it's time to step back and separate a little. While feeling a bit off kilter he meets a woman named Beth Jones. She's a waitress with a lot of responsibilities who is genuine and real. He feels an instant connection, and loves he can be himself with her. For the first time in his life he has something of his own, and he wants to keep her to himself for a while. Will following his own path bring him happiness or will secrets complicate everything he so desperately wants?
-The man knew how to kiss. Possessive and deep. Passionate and fierce.
Finding Ronan's Heart (Vested Interest: ABC Corp, #2) by Melanie Moreland is a heartwarming love story about family, self discovery and beautiful connections. Ronan is the son of Aiden & Cami Callaghan who we know from the BAM world. He's honest, kind and has a huge heart. I loved this character so much! He's super swoony to the extreme!!! I was also caught up in the supporting characters and loved the other romances going on in the book. I can't wait for more in the ABC world, and look forward to Liam's book up next! <333

Damn it Melanie!! How can you make me want to throttle you and hug you all at the same time?!?! This book was phenomenal!! It literally has ALL the feels you could ever want!! I can’t say enough about Ronan and Beth’s story. It is a story of a life lost, of perseverance and strength, of having to dig deep and step up for the sake of another. Beth has a huge responsibility in life, her brother Evan. She does an amazing job, but he needs help she can’t provide and they are a package deal these days. Ronan is larger than life, but as a triplet and part of the BAM and ABC legacy, he is struggling with where he fits in. He somewhat feels lost within his own big family, always the caretaker and never the one to step up for himself. Two people from very different walks of life in very different places in life. But fate, the crazy thing that SHE is, has a plan. A plan that will give Beth a family she only dreamed of, and that will give Ronan what he needs to find his way. One chance meeting and a piece of cake is all it takes to let love in the door. But one impromptu cake delivery, one half truth told and one chance elevator meeting almost bring down the whole LEGO house. Will love win the fight? I absolutely loved all the characters in this story. Melanie has the ability to bring them all to life, as if you are in the story with them!! Hands down, one of my favorites from Melanie!!!❤️❤️

I’m loving everything about this second generation of BAM stories and this is the best so far.
Finding Ronan’s Heart is book 2 in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp series and it’s Ronan Callaghan’s story and let me just say if you loved his dads Aiden and Cami’s story you are going to fall hook, line and sinker for this one. Ronan is a man you will fall, hard and fast for.......
This is a book with all the feels, I laughed, I cried and I swooned so much as I got to know this man and he really holds a very special place in my heart. You know you are reading a special book when the story stays with you long after the final words have been read and Finding Ronan’s Heart is one of those special books. I’m not sure I could ever do this book or this man justice because he is everything we all want in a lover and a friend, he is swoon worthy, he is kind, he is caring but most of all he is Ronan finding his own way in life after always being one of the triplets. I loved meeting the new characters and I adored catching up with the characters that will always hold a piece of my heart but what took this book to another level was the feelings, the words and the love that seemed to jump off the page and become entwined with my own heart. This is a contemporary romance that will appeal to all romance lovers, it’s a journey that I highly recommend so please one click this gem of a read.

When you grow up as one-third of a set of triplets and have always done everything with your other two brothers you sometimes can get lost in the shuffle. Ronan feelings of being alone in a group have always been there but come full fold when his brothers find their other halves. So when Ronan meets Beth their instant connection helps him to finally feel like himself and not just part of the triplets. But when he avoids telling her about his family and his upbringing is he setting himself up to fail? And once Beth realizes exactly what he was hiding will it be too much to overcome? The readers have fallen in love with these characters since they were a mere mention in the original BAM series and now on their own bring another level of family and happiness to the mix. Melanie Moreland once again proves why she is one of the best when writing heart warming stories and I cannot wait for more in the second generation ABC series.

I don’t know what to say! I love it! I love it like all Melanie’s books. I love the BAM boys and I love ABC corp. Reading Finding Ronan’s Heart was wonderful. Many emotions, happiness, love and tears. So good! This family, they are the best! This generation brings many stories, many love stories. Amazing! 💕 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can’t wait for Liam’s and Ava’s books.
Update: Second time reading and first time listening. It was more perfect than the first time. I loved this book so much! All the love and all the emotions are perfection. The audio performance *chef kisses* John Lane and Maxine are the BEST EVER.

5 star Review Finding Ronan’s Heart (ABC Corp #2) by Melanie Moreland
I couldn’t wait to dive in to Ronan Callaghan, one of the Callaghan triplets story. I knew that the woman who captured his heart would need to be someone special and Beth is certainly that. Ronan is used to being part of a trio, he has been surrounded by his brothers and friends all his life but now, as is to be expected, they are all doing their own thing and he is feeling a little alone.
This was an entertaining read, from the first chapter to the last and I was drawn in to the story that Ms. Moreland wove, having a hard time putting this book down when real life got in the way.
I fell hard and fast for Ronan, he is such a caring, protective man it was a delight to read this book. In fact I loved Ronan and Beth, both separately and especially together. Add in some familiar faces, some new characters such as the children Evan and Lucy and my heart was full.
The writing is strong, the characters easy to like and relate too and all in all this made for a heart warming read about some of my favourite people. A great read and one I have no trouble in recommending.

Oh my goodness! The Vested Interest series was one of my favorites of all time but the second generation, ABC Corp, might just be overtaking the originals!
There’s so much that happened in this book that made me so happy I could barely contain it. And that epilogue!!!! I can’t even! Everything about this series is perfection and I’ll be impatiently waiting for the next one!

After a disappointing Heart Strings, I am cured with Finding Ronan's Heart. In this series, Miss Moreland done justice with the story. The story between Ronan finding his identity.
I have hard time keeping up with who is who in BAM next generation. But I still enjoy it anyway. I like seeing the older generation have their HEA and caught a glimse on their golden year life.
I am so looking forward for the next characters in this series.

Hero with Heart as big as his size
In a world of romance where alpha men and powerful redeemable heroes seem to rock the pages, sometimes a reader needs a bit of a nonshowy hero. A man who isn't always right maybe has a flaw - a man who keeps it real. Ronan Callaghan is just that hero.
Ohhh don't you be worrying your head over but...I like my possessive alpha men. That's the perfection of the writing in this story. He has the biggest heart, but protective of what is his.
Yup that is the sound of my heart swooning.
Beth is a relatable heroine. No OTT antics. Or sad Sally here. Just a strong, independent heroine is looking to give the best for her and her brother. My favorite kind of heroine who I can see being BFF with.
Things that I love:
- story development touching on the power of all types of love.
- kids are scene stealers and some of the best ones
- balance of sexual tension that makes you burn
- all the stuff before this
Things to consider:
- is part of a series but not necessary. This is easily an entry point into the magic of this world.
Melanie Moreland serves up some of the best in contemporary romance. Okay, I am trying not to be biased but can't help myself- for me she is the best at hitting the checkboxes in what I am looking for. Hopeful, heartful, and romantic. I am going to be thinking about this couple for a long while.
PS: Excited for Liam & Paige. Yeah I get it - we’ve seen the story. But through Beth & Ronan’s eyes. I am tickled pink we get to have the curtain pulled back to see their side. Thank you readers for asking for more!!

When I read this series, I wish I could get sucked into a vortex, transported into the BAM world, and just live there forever. Of course I’d find love, because this utopian town and family are the vision of Melanie Moreland and she is better than a fairy princess! She just sprinkles her pixie dust with her magical words and promises happiness and orgasms for all who enter!
The ABC Corp series features the now grown-up children of BAM (one of my favorite series ever) and how they are making their own way in the world and each finding love. While you don’t have to read the BAM series or other standalones related to this series such as A Merry Vested Wedding or Her Saving Grace, book one of ABC Corp., I suggest that you do so you can fall in love with these characters as much as I have.
Finding Ronan’s Heart is book two of ABC Corp. It was so sincerely and beautifully written and tugged on my heart chapter after chapter. Ronan Callaghan was forever tied to his two brothers as they were triplets, as well as his older brother Liam, and younger sister, Ava, but sometimes felt a bit adrift. Even though he was well educated and a successful architect in his family business, he felt as if something was missing–he just wanted to be treated as an individual sometimes and not as part of a trio. I couldn’t love him more and wish there were more Ronan’s in the world. Built like a brick house, he was selfless, kind, giving, loved children and his family, hard working, and so very humble and thoughtful.
When he met Beth in the restaurant where she worked one night, time stood still and his life would never be the same. I loved their instant connection and flirty banter, and how charming and vulnerable Ronan was trying to get to know her better. Without even thinking about it, he noticed little things that made me swoon–like how full her tip jar was, how she was getting home in the rain, and later on, how she needed a few home repairs. He was a man of action and I loved how he took charge and naturally and genuinely wanted to be there for her.
He admired and respected her for working so hard to take care of her younger brother, Evan, after their parents passed, and the two of them complimented each other so beautifully. She was selfless too, putting her career goals on hold, and was reluctant to trust this man who seemed too good to be true.
Loved how he asked her on their first date for tacos and how he didn’t give up. Loved how it didn’t matter how late it was, he just had to see her. Even though he was wealthy, he was not pretentious, and so comfortable being in the home she shared with her bestie, Paige, and her daughter, Lucy, who was so adorable and fearless. I loved how she saw all the goodness in Ronan and how he made her family feel complete. Loved how he praised her body and wiped away all of her insecurities.
But even though Ronan was close to perfect, he was not open and honest for reasons he felt were valid and our hero and heroine do go through a rough spot, but it only made them stronger in the end. I loved how his family interferes (like always) and how his brothers and sister kept trying to get him to share his feelings and then set him straight. Love all of the cousins, and aunts and uncles and grandparents. Truly loved it all.
This book is such a special treat and more bang for your buck because it features several romances in one! Ronan’s brothers find love, too, as well as other characters that I don’t want to give away, but I jumped for joy and screamed a bit when I read the epilogue that was TEN FREAKING YEARS into the future!
This series is so romantic, inspirational, and unforgettable! It’s about family, acceptance, being true to yourself and loving who you are, supporting and uplifting one another, and doing what you can to make a difference in someone else’s life. There were several parts that were especially emotional for me and that is when the BAM and ABC members rallied to help Evan when he was being bullied, how they helped one of the moms who was raising her daughter alone and needed a better job and after school care, and how they reached out to Beth to make her life better and easier, too.
This author has a giant heart and it is evident on every single page as her characters are so wonderful, relatable and down-to-earth. But make no mistake, this book just isn’t hearts and flowers, there is also angst and tears, and enough STEAM and sexy times to make you blush and keep you coming back for more! Highly recommend *****

“She looks at me and sees me. Nobody else.”
It’s fairly easy to write a review for a lot of books I read. I usually know as soon as I finish how many ❤ it will get on my blog, and the actual review forms quickly in my mind. Well, it was clear before the end of “Finding Ronan’s Heart” that this is a 5 ❤ book. Yet I’ve struggled for a couple of days about how to best share my thoughts about it. If you’re familiar at all with the BAM and/or ABC Corp book series’ by Melanie Moreland, then you immediately know who Ronan is – He’s one of The Triplets. If you’re not already familiar with the books I mentioned, have no fear, because you will definitely enjoy this one anyway.
Ronan is a truly good man and a talented architect. He and his fellow triplet brothers were inseparable while growing up. As the eldest of the 3, Ronan always saw himself as responsible for his “younger” brothers. He quietly went along with whatever made them happy, setting aside his own preferences in everything. Everybody got in the habit of not even asking his preferences. When his brothers simultaneously start seriously dating, Ronan suddenly finds himself an uncomfortable fifth wheel. He begins to re-evaluate his life and it’s a painful experience. After a workout at a local gym, he goes into a diner and is captivated by his waitress, Beth. In addition to being a waitress, baking cakes for extra money, and being a college student, she is lovingly raising her adolescent younger brother, Evan, after a tragedy took the lives of their parents. The mutual attraction Ronan and Beth is intense.
“I had a date with a girl who knew nothing about my family, and about whom they knew nothing. Beth was just for me, and I didn’t have to share. She was all mine.”
Ronan needs to ‘find himself’ as a separate entity from his fellow triplets and apart from his huge extended family. Beth needs to develop confidence in herself, after her sense of self-worth was shattered by a past relationship. She, Evan, her roommate and the roommate’s little girl are the family they’ve created for themselves, but life’s a constant struggle. Roman and Beth develop a wonderful relationship. Ronan is not a stereotypically growly ‘alpha male’ hero. Instead, he’s a gentle, caring and thoughtful man whose considerable physical strength mirrors the strength of his character. In his misguided anxiousness to keep his special relationship with Beth all to himself, Ronan comes close to losing the woman who holds the key to his heart. And I’m not even getting into the connection that grows between Ronan and Evan because I could write a whole page about that! You can count on the fact that it’s phenomenal.
I readily admit that this book brought forth tears multiple times, but they were all different varieties … sweet, sad, empathetic, sympathetic and happily satisfied. Secondary characters abound in this book. If you’re familiar with the other books I mentioned, you’ll recognize them but if not, no worries. You don’t need prior knowledge to enjoy them. Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. (Please note that’s a frequent occurrence with books by Melanie Moreland!) It’s a beautiful love story, but it’s also about the importance of the friends who are our chosen family, the power of resilience, and the rewards of well-placed trust. The epilogue was joyous, and the glimpse of Ten Years Later made me shriek like a little kid on Christmas morning. I'm raising a vanilla milkshake in honor of “Finding Ronan’s Heart” – a story that will warm your heart and touch your soul in more ways than you can imagine.

As the eldest of the 3, Ronan always saw himself as responsible for his “younger” brothers. He quietly went along with whatever made them happy, setting aside his own preferences in everything. Everybody got in the habit of not even asking his preferences. When his brothers simultaneously start seriously dating, Ronan suddenly finds himself an uncomfortable fifth wheel. He begins to re-evaluate his life and it’s a painful experience. After a workout at a local gym, he goes into a diner and is captivated by his waitress, Beth. In addition to being a waitress, baking cakes for extra money, and being a college student, she is lovingly raising her adolescent younger brother, Evan, after a tragedy took the lives of their parents. The mutual attraction Ronan and Beth is intense.
“I had a date with a girl who knew nothing about my family, and about whom they knew nothing. Beth was just for me, and I didn’t have to share. She was all mine.”
Ronan needs to ‘find himself’ as a separate entity from his fellow triplets and apart from his huge extended family. Beth needs to develop confidence in herself, after her sense of self-worth was shattered by a past relationship. She, Evan, her roommate and the roommate’s little girl are the family they’ve created for themselves, but life’s a constant struggle. Roman and Beth develop a wonderful relationship. Ronan is not a stereotypically growly ‘alpha male’ hero. Instead, he’s a gentle, caring and thoughtful man whose considerable physical strength mirrors the strength of his character. In his misguided anxiousness to keep his special relationship with Beth all to himself, Ronan comes close to losing the woman who holds the key to his heart. And I’m not even getting into the connection that grows between Ronan and Evan because I could write a whole page about that! You can count on the fact that it’s phenomenal.
I readily admit that this book brought forth tears multiple times, but they were all different varieties … sweet, sad, empathetic, sympathetic and happily satisfied. Secondary characters abound in this book. If you’re familiar with the other books I mentioned, you’ll recognize them but if not, no worries. You don’t need prior knowledge to enjoy them. Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. (Please note that’s a frequent occurrence with books by Melanie Moreland!) It’s a beautiful love story, but it’s also about the importance of the friends who are our chosen family, the power of resilience, and the rewards of well-placed trust. The epilogue was joyous, and the glimpse of Ten Years Later made me shriek like a little kid on Christmas morning. I'm raising a vanilla milkshake in honor of “Finding Ronan’s Heart” – a story that will warm your heart and touch your soul in more ways than you can imagine.

Sometimes you can feel like you’re the loneliest person in the world when in fact you are surrounded by family and loved ones, that’s exactly how Ronan’s been feeling of late. Being the oldest born out of the "Callaghan Triplets" he’s always been part of a group never really seen as an individual or judged on his own merits, he’s always been one of ”The Callaghan Triplets", "The Boys", and by being the oldest born he’s taken on the role of looking out for the two youngest brothers seriously, deferring to their wants and needs, growing up the three of them were close however now that they’re adults and moving onto to the next phases of their lives Ronan’s feeling more invisible than ever before especially when the younger two of the triplets starting dating and finding love at same time, with twin sisters none the less. Ronan’s come to realise that he wants to be seen as just Ronan, and wants to find someone who wants to get to know him and his likes and dislikes, someone who’ll love him for being himself not for his wealth or the "Callaghan" name, he’s been burned that way before. Now it’s time for Ronan to put himself first, walking into the Nifty Fifty diner he’s a step closer when locks eyes on the beautiful waitress who’s set to change his life forever.
Beth Jones is a twenty five year old woman, between going to school, waitressing and baking cakes it’s safe to say she’s a busy woman then there’s her little brother who she looks after, she comes as a package deal, what man could possibly want her and all the baggage she comes with? After being badly hurt in her last relationship it’s been a while since she’s shown interest in anyone, however the moment the most beautiful man she’s ever seen walks into the diner where she works it’s safe to say she’s interested all right but what would this handsome stranger want with her, there’s no way he’s genuinely interested, right? Ronan wants her and what he wants he’s going to go for, there’s no way she’ll be able to resist him with how persistent he is.
Not only is Ronan smitten with Beth, her little brother has wormed his way into his heart too, and by getting to know her roommate and her little girl he’s also become rather fond of them, however it’s "his Beth" that’s really taken over his head and his heart, he’s been enjoying having her to himself without having to share her with his family, she knows nothing of his wealth and standing within the community, he knows he needs to tell Beth his true identity but he’s been enjoying the fact that she’s getting to know him without knowing who his family is, she’s "his Beth" and he’s not ready to share her, and with each day that passes he knows he’s digging a bigger hole for himself, and with Beths past the truth could be harder and harder for her to accept.
This book is absolute perfection, seriously Melanie, the love and acceptance within this family just blows my mind, you’ve done it again, smashed it out the ballpark with Finding Ronan’s Heart, I can’t wait till next time.

Finding Ronan’s Heart brings the Reader two pure-hearted, loving and thoughtful people meeting and changing each other’s life for the better. Beth has more than her fair share of life’s challenges, caring for a younger sibling with medical needs, juggling work and her own education goals, which leaves little time for herself. Ronan is a very decent and giving fellow who makes a well-intentioned but poor decision inevitably leading to sorrow and regret.
Beth and Ronan are genuine and earnest individuals with an unique connection. Each grow in self-confidence and self-realization, while surrounded by supporting family and friends. The author Melanie Moreland is skilled in showing love expressed in a multitude of ways: between generations of adults, siblings and young children or work colleagues who become like family, and only adds to a most satisfying story!
This is my honest review of an advance copy.
