About this listen
I have three simple wishes:
- Keep my houseplants alive.
- Open a charming bed-and-breakfast in my small town.
- Never see or speak to Beckett Valentine again.
None of those things are currently possible.
When Beckett decides he’s also interested in purchasing the Horseshoe Creek Ranch, my dreams of owning a bed-and-breakfast become a nightmare. He refuses to give me what I want while playing dirty—a common theme in our rivalry. Because of him, we’re in a ridiculous bidding war for the land.
We might have hated each other since our teens, but the stakes have never been so high. And right now, I’m more determined than ever to take down my best friend’s older brother—cowboy boots and all.
Bless Your Heart is a small-town enemies-to-lovers grumpy/sunshine best-friend’s-older-brother contemporary Southern romance with rom-com vibes and a guaranteed happily ever after. Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone. Warning: This book contains tons of Southern sass, sarcasm, and lots of spice! Fade to black is not included.

Story
Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover. The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel–one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick. Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.

Story
As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

Story
He called me “Goody-Goody.” He called me “Nosy-Josie.” He called me other things while he pulled my pigtails. Now, his grandmother left us a surprise inheritance. The catch? We have to get married and live in her small NYC apartment. For a month. With just one bed. When I arrive, he’s not the cheeky jerk I hated. He’s piping hot. Tall. Sinfully tattooed. A stunning villain. And that damn smirk on his face?

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

WRONG. This really happened…to ME, Melanie Taylor. That was five years ago, so I’m over it—over him. At least, I thought I was…until West got traded to the D.C.

I had a plan: Sign a contract, and board a plane to Ibiza. The anonymous deal would salvage the smoldering wreckage of my life. It would not involve billionaire Harrison King, the reason I need saving in the first place. He’s as beautiful as he is cruel. A British business titan who makes a living getting what he wants. The man flies private. Dates supermodels. But the crisp accent and cocky smirk don’t fool me. He’s a gentleman on the outside, a savage beneath. Dangerous, rough, and brutal.

Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I've had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either. He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

My fresh start turned into a dumpster fire. Awesome new job. Small town heaven. Friendly faces galore. Then I strolled into my new home and found the unspeakable. Just when I'm sure it can't get worse, I'm “rescued” by a man who makes me see red for miles. Enter Lucas Graves. A bossy grump with a badge who's sworn to keep me safe. He rocks the scary-hot vibe, he reads too much, and he never misses a chance to give me crap for being a nerdy little cactus who mouths back. Not the type of man I'd go for in my right mind. Definitely not the type I should keep trading bruising kisses with.

Beckett and Summer have known each other for a while. They are also neighbors, but have been denying their attraction. When they both become interested in the same property a bidding war starts between them since neither wants to relent. But love has a funny way to win always.

Great Narrators and Great Story
I love the accents of the narrators. They seem like they fit the characters very well.
As far as the actual book goes, I loved that as well. It's always nice when you have a vest friend's sibling book where the best friend is super supportive of the relationship, versus that being a conflict. I liked that we got the history of Beckett and Summer slowly. The first date that Beckett planned for Summer was very sweet (and spicy!), and the way he went about getting her to go on the date was very cute.
It's a great performance and great story!

Great series starter!
Summer and Beckett are rivals. They both want to buy the neighboring ranch to realize their dreams. The ranch can only be bought through bid, which rankles both Summer and Beckett. Summer wants to open a bed and breakfast; Beckett wants to expand his horse training facility. Beckett throws down a challenge which Summer reluctantly engages in. Little does she know that Beckett wouldn't back down that easily. Throughout the book the banter between the two changes from all out rivalry to friendly to even more. It got harder and harder for them to resist the attraction between them. The author certainly created two main characters that were opposites in every way, who could banter with each other, and challenge each other, ultimately ending up together. Their HEA makes it a win-win situation for them. The author brought us a small town, cowboy, enemies to lovers, best friend's brother romance that will easily have me falling in love with Valentine, Texas. I can't wait for more!
Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock brought this book to life! The characters’ personalities shown through with the narrators’ gift of storytelling.
I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Bʟᴇss Yᴏᴜʀ Hᴇᴀʀᴛ (Valentine Texas 1) | Lyra Parish
3.5 Maple Leafs | 3 Flames
Beckett and Summer have had a grudge since they were in high school and when the ranch between their properties goes up for sale and they both go after it, things are bound to get heated between them.
I read the first two books out of order and it didn't matter that I did this as I don't feel like I missed anything. Although Beckett and Summer had some great banter, I felt that a fair amount of their interactions felt forced and struggled to feel the chemistry between them even though everyone around them was constantly telling both of them that they were going to end up together.
I am going to keep going with this series as this family is just too entertaining to walk away from.
Audio → Aaron Shedlock and Vanessa Edwin did a good job of portraying the characters and the story.

Funny, sexy with Southern charm and sass!
I always say that narration can enhance or bring down an already great book. Lyra chose wisely! Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock truly did the story justice. I already loved the ebook but hearing the Southern drawl of those dirty talking cowboys , AWESOME! Steamy, funny southern charm at it's best.

Bless Your Heart... Insult or loving?
Bless Your Heart, I really enjoyed this book. I'm used to Ms Lyra Duel writing with Kennedy Fox. So I felt like I knew what I was getting into. Spicy with some heart break, while there was a tiny bit there for a minute. I can always count on a happy ending,
Summer was a strong minded, strong willed, she's going to find a way to make it work, going for her dreams of opening a B&B. Here comes her best friends brother wanting to open a training ranch, both going for the same ranch, with different dreams.
Beckett plays dirty when they both bid on the Ranch.
Knisley, she is a friend I was I had, always has Summer back.
I really enjoyed this book, can't wait to continue the book series. <3

Lyra Parish sure knows how to write a romance and give us all the spice. I read this in physical form and have now listened to it. You truly can't go wrong with either format. the narration is great. If you enjoy small town romances, country boys, & lots of spice, then this is the book for you!! it's so freaking good!!

Beckett and Summer are a force. Their want for each other fuels the “hate” they have. When they both want to win the same property they start a bidding war that leads them to each other. Absolutely loved the start to this series. Lyra did an amazing job introducing these characters for the start of an amazing series.
