An Aspen Cove Romance Collection, Books 19-21

By: Kelly Collins

Narrated by: Logan McAllister

Aspen Cove welcomes you back for more love, hope, and happily ever afters…

One Hundred Reflections

Never-married, retired librarian Elsa Buchanan is known for getting her way. She sets her eyes on irascible Trenton Van der Veen, who is like a first-edition hardback book—quality through and through but showing a lifetime of wear and tear.

Real estate mogul Trenton Van der Veen isn’t looking for love after a loveless marriage, but when he travels to Aspen Cove to sell some languishing properties, Elsa makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

Can they put aside their lifelong hurts for love, or will this be another relationship destined for the archives?

One Hundred Intentions

Author Reese Arden’s stutter has left her hiding most of her life, but when she moves to Aspen Cove, she vows to give herself a new beginning and find the courage to be heard. An encounter with a handsome hitchhiker with a mysterious pink envelope spurs her inquisitive writer’s brain.

The army created Brandon Fearless; he’s a protector at heart and driven to succeed. When his sister dies suddenly, in her apartment he finds a mysterious pink envelope addressed to her containing a note asking her to go to Aspen Cove. Her quest becomes his, but what will he find when he gets there?

Will what Reese and Brandon uncover lead to heartbreak or true love?

One Hundred Chances

Veterinarian Sara Arden made a mistake when she was sixteen years old–she didn’t tell rancher Lloyd Dawson that she had given birth to his daughter. Thirty-two years later, she’s back in Aspen Cove with her daughter, and this time there won’t be any denying the truth.

Lloyd Dawson had two great loves in his life–Carol, his wife who died in his arms, and Sara, who left him thirty-two years ago without a word. When he finds out about his daughter, he can’t forgive Sara for robbing him of watching his child grow up.

Will a crisis on the ranch give her the chance she needs to make things up to him? Or will it be just another opportunity for her to betray him?

Amazing as always

I absolute love every one of Kelly’s Aspen Cove stories plus catching up with old favourites.
These three stories are wonderful, full of romance, some angst, problems to overcome and wonderful characters that you’ll fall in love with.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Logan McAllister.
He does an amazing job of bringing Kelly’s stories to life.
Below are my separate reviews for each story.

One Hundred Reflections
Book 19
5 Star review
Can they get past life’s hurdles and make a go of it?
Another winner in The Aspen Cove series that I loved.
This story introduces us to two fifty plus single people trying to navigate and improve on what life has already dealt them.
Trenton Van der Veen had plenty of work to do to show the town of Aspen Cove that he was no longer anything like his families reputation.
Coming to town to improve his relationship with his son, Trenton meets Elsa Buchanan.
Quickly seeing the good in each other, their mutual attraction and the same style of humour they hit it off immediately.
Will the unexpected news one of them receives derail their blossoming relationship?
Or could it possibly make them stronger?
A wonderful, at times sensitive story that I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of.
I also love the easy listening voice of the narrator who helps bring to life all of Kelly’s Aspen Cove novels.

One Hundred Intentions
Book 20
5 Star Review
One looking for answers, the other a muse
Another gorgeous story in Kelly Collins, Aspen Cove.
Two wounded people find themselves heading to Aspen Cove for two entirely different reasons.
One trying to find answers in regard to his recently deceased sister and the other needing to take back her life and get away from a controlling mother.
Not realising that just being with each other soothes each of their souls.
A beautiful story of revelations, secrets and the power of a town coming together to show strangers how much they care.
I love my time spent in Aspen Cove, meeting new people plus reconnecting and following up with what’s happening to the rest of the community.
Always happy to drop everything and read or listen to this series.
I thoroughly recommend it.
Also love the narration, Logan McCallister is a joy to listen to.

One Hundred Chances
Book 21
5 Star review
First love. Can there be a second chance for them?
Another beautiful story by Kelly in Aspen Cove.
With characters we already love making appearances it’s time for Lloyd’s story.
After his devastating loss of his wife a few years ago and the town rallying around him in his time of need Lloyd is coming to terms with his single life on the ranch.
However, coming face to face with his first love was shock enough but to see a woman with her that can be none other than his flesh and blood, floors him.
She sure has a lot to explain and he wants immediate answers.
Lloyd and Sara’s time together as teenagers was cut short.
Having lost her all those years ago he moved on met another, married and had a large family.
At seeing each other again neither are able to forget the love they once shared.
This story navigates their feelings for each other, the reasons why he did not know about his grown up daughter, her going above and beyond trying to help Lloyd out in a time of need.
Two at times misunderstood people learning to relax and enjoy what makes them happy.
Another winner with wonderful characters, storyline and narration.
