“If you are looking for a small town series that is family centered and always delivered a story full of heart then look no further than this series.”
~ Under the Covers
One of the things that I have always loved about the True North series is how different each book in the series is. In this case, HEARTLAND is a new adult novel set in college. But we are still getting to explore the concept of family and community as this is the story of Dylan Shipley.
A friends to lovers story with the youngest sibling of a farming family who is struggling to find his footing and how he fits in with the family business. And Chastity who is a runaway from a cult who has very little life experience. After she was taken in by the family next door, Dylan formed a strong friendship bond with her. Now they have to face how those feelings have changed.
This book was both emotional and simple at the same time. Our heroine especially has had to go through a lot and it made their connection deeper. But it’s also a fun story that fit really well with their circumstances and their age. I also loved their drive to do something and their commitment and responsibility.
I may have had some issues with previous characters in the series and how they are portrayed in this book, but at the same time those actions fit their personality.
In the end, this was a heartwarming story. A nice mix between GOODBYE PARADISE and BITTERSWEET. If you are looking for a small town series that is family centered and always delivered a story full of heart then look no further than this series.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
