Elements of the Heart #4
Watch Me Land
It’s impossible to avoid Andrea Taylor in this small town.
Especially since her best friend is married to mine.
After having my heart destroyed, I’m not a relationship kind of guy anymore.
And she deserves better.
But she’s hard to resist and the fact that she wants me too, only intensifies the pull between us.
I manage to keep my hands to myself, but she doesn’t and the second I get a taste of Andi, I can’t get enough.
We both agree it wouldn’t go further than a few hot nights with no strings attached.
Then strange things start to happen to Andi, and I become a little more than a protective friend.
I never thought I’d risk my freedom again for someone else.
But Andi has a hold of my soul, and I’ll do anything to keep her safe.
My life was ripped out from under me years ago and I’ve been floating through the motions ever since.
Now that my feet have finally landed back on the ground next to Andi, God help whoever is trying to hurt her.

Since the moment Mason and Andi met earlier in the series, I was hoping for this pairing! They were all the fireworks plus so many sweet, touching moments. I stayed up reading until 3am I loved them so much.
Mason is a bit broken and adamant that he's not capable of being in a relationship but his attraction to Andi was immediate and when she found herself navigating scary circumstances that just keep coming for her, he wasn't about to stand by and not help her. From the moment things started happening he was there for Andi, supporting her so she wouldn't have to deal with figuring things out alone.
Andi can't keep Mason from her mind. It's been months since they met and he's always been so sweet until the day he stops coming into the diner to eat with the rest of his co-workers and she's left wondering what she did.
I love how these two kept circling around each other, denying their attraction to anyone who'd listen then actively making plans to ONLY BE FRIENDS. These kind of stories are the best. The push/pull, the chemistry when it just boils over and let's not forget the best banter!
I want to give ALL THE STARS to this small town with huge heart series. The chosen family bond between Mason, Everest, Lucas and Owen is unbreakable and the love they have for their ladies is utterly swoony. These sexy guys will do anything to protect the ones they love and their one for all, all for one attitude is so heartwarming! Don't miss out on Andi and Mason's sweet and sexy friends to lovers story with a layer of intrigue. You won't be able to stop reading either!

It has been awhile since I have had the ability to sit down and read a book in one sitting. Boy am I glad I was able to do that with this one. Once I started reading Mason and Andi's story I didn't want to put it down.
I came across C.E. Johnson about a year ago when I had the opportunity to read an ARC of Watch Me Drown. She quickly rose to towards the top of my favorite authors list. I have read each book in the Elements of the Heart series, and each one has drawn me in completely. C.E. Johnson didn't disappoint with this book.
There is so much to these characters. Each one has their own unique traits. They have each been through life changing events. While Lucas (a.k.a. Whack) will always be my favorite leading man in this series, Mason came close to giving him a run for his money. I truly enjoyed watching Mason and Andi's story unfold. As with every book in this series it is the perfect blend of romance, and suspense with a touch of comedy. I will say in this one I completely caught off guard by the villain's identity.
Writing this review is kind of bittersweet for me. I was so excited to finally get to read this book, but also so very sad that this means this series is complete. I loved all of these characters so very much. As with all of the books in this series this book is a complete stand-alone. It's plot is not in anyway impacted by the previous books in the series. The real benefit of reading these books in order is meeting the characters and figuring out how they all connect.

Sensational series! Not ready for it to end! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Watch Me Land is the final book of the series and it’s perfect. But I’m pissed that’s over. I don’t want it to end. I’m not ready to say goodbye to the amazing men and women of the Elements of the Heart!
Mason and Andi are so perfect together. The teasing and banter is spot on and so good. Owen has always been my man for this series, but Mason has stole a piece of my heart too.
His protective and sensitive side, combined with the love he has for Andi, has me all giddy for him. Let’s not forget the dress ripping scene…and the office scene…dang they were hot!! 🔥🔥
This book will provide you all the feels. Lots of fun, romance, sense of family and protection, as well as some drama and suspense that has you jumping of your seat.
CE Johnson has created another amazing series that owns my heart and soul. All good things come to an end and unfortunately this is true for our sexy, big hearted and desirable men that came full circle and has landed wonderful families and forever friends.
Thank you Carrie for the amazing words and for the great joy these 4 books brought to my life this past year! And for years to come! ❤️❤️

Had my heart soaring to new heights! I have a new book husband named Mason King!
Watch Me Land had my heart soaring to new heights as I fell in love with Mason King! This story is intriguing, suspenseful and so full of emotion that I couldn’t stop reading - not that you could have taken this book away from me if you tried. Andrea and Mason have more in common then they realize and guard their hearts for very good reasons. But you know what they say about the power of love, nothing can come in between what’s meant to be. It’s amazing how Mason just gets Andi like no one else ever could and watching their relationship develop was breathtaking! You need to read this book for the key, her grandma, the guys banter, the pjs, the office and the diner alone. I have a new book husband and his name is Mason King!!!

Mason and Andi
This was the perfect ending to this series. Mason was the perfect hero for Andi. I loved that they tried to deny their feelings and be “just friends”, it added a depth to their relationship that was extremely necessary.
Mason and Andi’s relationship began in Watch Me Breathe when their best friends met and fell in love. Now a few months after their wedding, Mason and Andi are questioning if they can truly “just be friends” or if they have something worth risking their hearts over. They’ve both been hurt and betrayed by the people who were supposed to love them in the past, so taking that leap of faith again is a big step for both of them. When unexplainable things start happening to Andi, the one person who never questions her instincts is Mason. In his quest to keep her safe he realizes she’s different than anyone in his past who hasn’t worked out. They finally admit their feelings to each other and both work to reassure one another that the mistakes in their past won’t be repeating themselves.
Mason was the true alpha hero, but he had no trouble showing Andi his softer side. I loved his proposal and his ability to take Andi’s biggest fear in a relationship and negate it. They were truly meant for one another. I also loved the glimpse into the future for the four best friends. They all got their happily ever after, and after everything they went through, individually and with their spouses, it was the perfect way to end the series.

Sexy exciting swoony perfection
I loved Mason and Andi’s sweet, swoony, and suspenseful story. Andi owns the diner in a small town. Mason is a roofer in the same small town. Mason and Andi know each other because their best friends are married each other. There is attraction but neither of them is interested in a relationship because of their pasts. But when someone appears to be targeting Andi, Mason can no longer keep his distance. This book has a little bit of everything you’d expect from romantic suspense - sweet moments, fan your face steam, dangerous action, strong friendships, painful pasts, mystery, plot twists, uber protective men, real life issues, imperfect characters, and even a few chuckles. The story was well written, the characters had depth and grew, and the storyline was engaging. I have loved the characters in this series.

Did not like this one
## I loved books 1 thru 3. I should have stopped there. This one was terrible. I can't believe all the 5 star reviews. I didn't like Mason one bit. His hot and cold act made for a really frustrating read. And the heroine throws herself at him over and over. She calls him for every little thing. Way too needy. I was embarrassed for her character. He comes over, they have sex, then he says no more we're only friends (after he gets what he wants). He wants her but hates himself for it. He feels relieved that she may never want to marry....on and on. Neither of these characters were likeable to me. Lying to each other and themselves. Do yourself a favor and stop after the first 3 amazing books.

This book was a great end to the series. Not only did we get Mason's story with his HEA, but you get a hint of what made you fall in love with Everest, Lucas and Owen's stories as well. It's just a reminder that family doesn't always have to be blood. The way the men in this series care for their ladies is heartwarming. However, these men are fierce not only in the way they love but the way they protect. If you mess with the ladies you get more alpha male than you bargained for because these men have each other's back. Andi and Mason's journey from trying to be just friends to so much more is one you won't want to miss. If you haven't started the series yet definitely start with book one. It will make this story that much better. Enjoy!

Mason and Andi have been attracted to each other since they first met. I'm so glad to see them get their own story! They were likable characters who dug into the recesses of my heart and played with my emotions. The mystery surrounding the break in, the feeling of being watched, was a definite plot twist! So wasn't expecting that chain of events to occur. Both Andi and Mason had been hurt in the past and it took the two of them taking a chance on each other to get the healing started. It was also great to catch up with the characters we've grown to know and love from the other books in this series.
I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Once I finally had the time to sit down and read again, I picked up THIS book, as I completely loved and devoured the first three in this series. I couldn't put it down! C.E. Johnson has absolutely 100% done it again! I was immediately sucked in, feeling right back at home and familiar with the entire cast. I loved getting to know Mason and Andi; witnessing them fall in love gave me all the feels! That epilogue was EVERYTHING!! While I'm sad for the series to end, it was an absolutely perfect ending!
Thank you for my copy of this ebook C.E.Johnson. 🙏♥️

I loved this book!! This series is excellent!! Mason and Andi are prefect and they deserve a happy life.. They both have been shattered from past loves and had swore that they would never let anyone in or feel love again.. Well thatz until they met, but denying their feeling for each other proved to be hard for them both.. CE Johnson knocked it out of the park again with another outstanding series and book!! One click this series books 1 thru 4!!

Sooooo amazing! We were introduced to Andi and Mason in previous stories. I knew we could not have this series finish without them having their own story. And man was it worth the wait! Andi and Mason are the love story that was meant to be. From their first kiss to the end of the story you felt as though you knew them personally. I loved every minute of this story and wish the series wasn’t ending. I eagerly look forward to whatever C.E Johnson releases in the future.

I’ve been wanting Mason’s book since reading him in the first few. Mason is a bit complicated, makes his own life more complicated, overthinks his feelings for Andi. These two, I love the push and pull with them. When they finally did admit their true feelings though, sooo sweet and your heart just felt full.
I love this series and just love seeing everyone with their happily ever afters. I love Mason and Andi together, what a great addition and ending to the series!

This is such a fabulous series and I'm sad to see it end. Mason and Andi's story did not disappoint, and I just about fell in love with Andi's parents throughout the story. I was also surprisingly cool that Mason's reason for going to prison wasn't as white knight as the other leading men in the series. That was a nice difference to the other stories.
I highly recommend this series to reader's of romance. It is well written, highly engaging and a great find.

Great conclusion to the elements of love series. Mason & Andi had more in common with one another besides there mutual friends. Mason is the type of men most woman would dream of fiercely loyal to you once get into his inner circle. Andi juggles alot on her plate with her business . Great to catch up with all the couples from previous books.

Wow!!!
What a brilliant series this is! Absolutely unable to put this book down. Each book could be read as a standalone but it was grrat to get to know all the characters and revisit them. Exciting plots, lovely couples, steamy scenes. What more could anyone want? I recommend a these books unreservedly

Nice Series Finale
Great wrap up of this great group of friends. Mason and Andi take some time to admit they feel more than attraction for each other. Some parts of this book felt like filler but the story worked.
Love the peek into the future and I love the friendships that have turned into family!

Watch Me Land
An extremely good romance, just as I've come to expect from C E Johnson. This is about two wounded people finding out that it is possible to love again. The whole town gets in on the action. It's lovely.
