Between The Pages - A Wyoming Secret Proposal

A Wyoming Secret Proposal 
Amy Vastine 
August 2022 

Can a secret Vegas wedding… 
Survive in Wyoming? 

Social media influencer Harper Hayes never wanted to marry. So how did drop-dead gorgeous cowboy Wyatt Blackwell end up as her husband in Vegas? Now Harper’s in Wyoming, trying to convince her gun-shy groom to stay married for at least a month so she can save face. But marrying a Wyoming Blackwell comes with a whole lot of complications. Especially when Harper falls for her handsome new husband…for real. 

Between The Pages 
This story had such a fun plot of how opposites attract. Harper is a social media expert and Wyatt knows nothing about it, which had many scenes filled with humour. His easy-going personality to stay married and to go along with posing for Harper’s pictures, made him a perfect hero. This book dives a little deeper into the Eagle Springs Blackwell siblings, as well as Harper’s relationship with her mother. And watching Denny and Big E slowly reconnect is enjoyable. While each book in this series can be read as stand-alone titles, I really enjoyed how book two flawlessly flowed from book one. A great weekend read.

September 2020 

Caught between friendship 

and falling in love… 

Amanda Harrison’s life is changing way too fast. Discovering that she’s really one of the Montana Blackwells was hard enough. Now Blake Collins—her best friend and the guy Amanda’s secretly in love with—is engaged to someone else. But Montana cowboy country has a way of claiming its own. And being a Blackwell means Amanda must learn how to fight for herself…and for the love she deserves. 

Between The Pages 
The beautiful cover draws you in immediately! And the story is so good! Amanda and Blake are the perfect couple that you root for from the first chapter. Best friends who are meant to be together. The plot is emotionally charged. There are smiles, a few laughs, tension, tears, and an adorable dog. A superb cast and a picturesque setting. This book is all about family and friends…a must read romance.

Between The Pages - The Rancher’s Fake Fiancée

The Rancher’s Fake Fiancée
Amy Vastine
November 2018

“I’m coming home… 

With my bride-to-be.” 

Tyler Blackwell just announced that he and Hadley Sullivan are getting married. And they’ve never even dated! Now she and her boss are in Montana so Tyler can sell his family ranch. Hadley only agreed to continue the deception in exchange for a promotion. But moving up the corporate ladder pales beside her growing feelings for Tyler. Will his past and Blackwell family secrets sabotage what Hadley wants more than anything—a real wedding? 

Between The Pages 
Book four in the Return of the Blackwell Brothers multi-author series stars Tyler Blackwell and his story flows seamlessly from book three. Tyler comes off as a bit self-absorbed in the first few chapters, but once his character opens up, you find a sensitive guy who believes he’s not loveable. And while I liked Tyler, I absolutely adored Hadley. In the previous three books, the Blackwell brothers took the limelight, but Hadley stood out and made book four shine. She goes along with Tyler’s fiancée scheme in order to get a promotion. She’s a delightful character – sweet, smart, and fun. Some of my favourite scenes were: 1. When Ethan and Grace bombard Hadley with the truth. 2. When the brothers have an ‘intervention’ with Tyler. 3. When Tyler reads his mother’s letters to his grandmother. At the end of this story a big question remains, leading to the fifth and final book in the Return of the Blackwell Brothers series. Will Big E make an appearance and how will the brothers react? I can’t wait to find out!

The Girl He Used To Love

The Girl He Used To Love 
Amy Vastine
July 2016

The past will always be between them. 

He swore he'd never return home. Then a flat tire lands Dean Presley back in Grass Lake, Tennessee, and he's forced to confront the woman he left behind. Faith Stratton was once the love of his life. Now her gifted brother could be the rising Nashville star Dean needs for his struggling music label. But it means taking Sawyer away from the horse therapy farm that Faith's so proud of. That won't be easy, especially since those old feelings that started all the trouble… Well, let's just say he can't go back there, because he doesn't want to relive the memories of the terrible accident that drove them apart. 

Between The Pages 
A heartwarming romance that holds your attention from start to finished. A beautifully written story of emotion and captivating characters. Dean and Faith are superb leading characters, and the author weaves in a cast from the town that are equally enjoyable. The character development between family and friends is written so well, you’ll want to read more about them. Faith’s brother, Sawyer, was adorable and a favourite, and I hope he gets a story of his own. The plot is engaging and has you not wanting to put this book down. An impressive novel for a first introduction to the town of Grass Lake, Tennessee, and the Grace Note Records series. I can’t brag enough about this story that brought a tear to my eye...twice! This is my first read by Ms. Vastine and won’t be my last. I’m anxiously awaiting the second book in this series.
