At this point I have to point out that I have read the original Heartbreak series which do introduce you to some of the characters in this book, however this book can be read as a stand alone. You don’t need to have read any of the other books in the series to thoroughly understand and enjoy this story, but in all honesty I HIGHLY recommend reading them all!Ms Elks has the ability to write stories that draw you in, making you emotionally invest in her characters and cheer them along. As a single parent myself I felt she really expressed Presleys emotions, concerns and worries very knowledgeably without making him overly sweet. The book had just the right mix of angst, romance, backstory and sexy times. She writes believable scenarios, allowing her characters to tell their stories without bias, letting the reader work through their own feelings. Her characters have flaws, like real life, they’re not perfect.Reading one of Ms Elks books is akin to wrapping yourself up in a fluffy blanket and snuggling up in front of the fire with a warm mug of hot chocolate. You never want it to end.I highly recommend this book.

That ending - chefs kissThe right amount of romance, banter and a glimpse of the family we know and love!The whole Hartson Creek series (1st generation and now 2nd generation) is just..everything.

This beautifully written romance is a breath of fresh air. Drawn into it from the first page to the last this is an absolutely bewitching story of a single dad, A six year old daughter and a former ballet dancer. Great humour (both adult and six year old!) combined with a deep electrifying attraction make this a great read - so you know what you need to do! LOVED THIS. ⚡💕💘💞 Another cracker Ms Elks!

This is the second book in the Heartbreak brothers next generation series. Having loved all the previous books I was very much looking forward to this.Don’t worry no spoilers but this follows Presley ( Gray and Maddie’s twin son) who is a widower with a small girl called Delilah and his story with Cassie. I was hooked from the start and loved the story - it had all the humour and family that you come to expect. It also told a wonderful tale about the two MCs- it’s is heartwarming, emotional and full of all the feels.If a story could be a hug then this is it. Carrie always delivers with these gorgeous small town romances. I Couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for Marley’s story next.Loved it

Great characters with a nice balance of heat and tension.It's the first book I've read from this author and I can't wait to read more.

This was a really lovely story and whilst I enjoyed reading Cassie and Presley navigate matters of the heart, for me, delightful Delilah stole the show!

Kept me interested

A cute little read with the sweetest little girl. Both Presley and Cassie deserve a happy ending after their pasts.A great feel good read.

This book was awesome I am hooked so I am going back to read book one then read the rest of the series I can’t wait to read them all.

Oh my god, what an incredible addition to this series! I loved the Heartbreak Brothers and I love getting to know their kids. Pres and Cassie are an amazing couple, you can feel their every, you can feel their chemistry, it's magic. Add in little Delilah, stuffed giraffes and a wonderful family and you've got a book that kept me glued to my reader from the first page to the last. I loved every single page of it, I loved hearing about Chairs again and, well, I simply loved this book. Which I finished around 2am last night, sigh. Time to go back and dive again into the Heartbreak Brothers' books and, of course, Michael's book, That One Regret.

I never thought Carrie could write a book that I could love as much as The Heartbreak Brothers Series book 1 "Take me Home". It has been my favorite that I have read more times than I can count. This book has matched it. I can see myself reading this one again and again too. It hooked me right away and gripped on to my heart and stayed there until the end. I smiled, laughed and even cried for happy and sad moments. It really shows you how great the right love can be and how you can be part of a loving awesome family without sharing any DNA. This is part of a series but could be read alone and you still could follow along as if this was not. Oh and at the end make sure to click for the bonus epilogue. It is just about the happiest ending I have ever read.

The Heartbreak Brothers next generation goes beyond my wildest expectations. The first series is one of my favorites, so I wondered how the "kids" would surpass their parents. But after reading That One Touch, I can wholeheartedly say Carrie Elks outdid herself.Tattooed and grumpy, Presley Hartson is swoony. There is no better word to describe him. He is one of Gray and Maddie's twins. Now very much grown up, he runs a successful construction business and is a single dad to the adorable six-year-old Delilah. There is nothing he wouldn't do for his daughter, especially since his wife died in a car accident three years ago.Cassie Simons is the new dance teacher at Hartson Creek. She just moved from NYC, where she was a ballerina until an accident shattered her professional dreams. Her first encounter with Press is a disaster as she scolds him for being the unreliable dad who forgets to pick up his daughter after dance class.They dislike each other, but the joke is on them. Guess who auditions to join Presley and his brother Marley's band? Yeap, Cassie is the best keyboard player and the most talented singer they could hope for. And her chemistry with Presley shines the more they rehearse.Carrie Elks is a master of crafting the perfect falling-in-love journey. Cassie and Presley's relationship evolves naturally, even amid their unresolved issues. They love passionately and hard, becoming a family in front of everyone's eyes.Seeing Maddie and Gray as grandparents was a real treat. Maddie is even funnier as an older woman. It feels incredible to be back, and I can't wait to discover the stories of the other Hartson "children."

Carrie Elks wrote the perfect romance! This is what I love to read to escape the daily stress in today’s world..this book was a delight..from the wonderful characters..loved Delilah..to the sweet storyline..can’t wait until Marley’s story! 100 🌟’s
