Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Just friends.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all Beckett Weaver and I have ever been.<\/p>\n

Sure, he\u2019s a hot cowboy who left Wall Street behind to take over his family\u2019s ranch. Yes, I\u2019ve had a secret crush on him since we were seventeen. And who wouldn\u2019t appreciate those strong hands, that massive chest, and the way he fills out a pair of Levis?<\/p>\n

He makes a girl sweat just looking at him . . . and I look. A lot.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m a single mom trying to move on with my life, and he\u2019s running that ranch single-handedly while taking care of his elderly father. We don\u2019t even live in the same state. I only returned to my hometown of Bellamy Creek to sell my late mother\u2019s house, and he just invited me and my son to stay with him because he\u2019s got a big heart.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the only big thing he\u2019s got–which I discover the night I finally sneak across the hall to his bedroom and shed my inhibitions right alongside my pajamas. And once we give into each other, we can\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

The hayloft. The bed of his truck. The dock by the pond.<\/p>\n

Nothing has ever felt so right, but his past has taught him not to believe in happily ever after, and every perfect night I spend in his arms brings us closer to goodbye.<\/p>\n

Like any cowboy, he\u2019s good with a rope and knows exactly how to tie me up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But what if I want him to tie me down?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beckett and Maddie grew up together in Bellamy Creek. They both had feeling for each other as teenagers but they never revealed them, and though they stayed in touch, they went their own way after high school. Now, fifteen years later Maddie is a single mom who comes back to Bellamy Creek to sell her mother\u2019s house. When Beckett offers her a place to stay as she gets her mom\u2019s house ready to sell, she can\u2019t turn him down. While they spend time together, will they take a chance on love, or are they destined to remain just friends?<\/p>\n

Tie Me Down<\/i> is such a sweet childhood friends-to-lovers romance. Beckett and Maddie have been friends forever and they are always there for each other when they needed each other the most. Though they both have feelings, they\u2019ve kept them hidden but now that they are in close quarters, the sexual tension skyrockets and they can\u2019t deny their attraction. What starts out as casual fun turns serious when hearts are finally involved, and I loved their journey from friends to lovers.<\/p>\n

Both Beckett and Maddie grew up with a skewed way of thinking of love and have different ideas of what forever means. They are scared of taking a chance\u00a0that could ruin what they have but their feelings are real and they can no longer fight the pull they have over one another.<\/p>\n

They are hot and heavy and I was so excited when they finally got together but it\u2019s not smooth sailing when they look at relationships differently. There are definitely ups and downs, and though I wanted to knock some sense into them, one in particular, I knew Beckett and Maddie could work it out if they would just fight for it!<\/p>\n

I love Maddie. Her relationship with her son is the sweetest, and I also adored how she was with Beckett\u2019s dad. She has such a good heart\u00a0and is a wonderful friend. Beckett had to do some soul searching and I love when he finally realizes exactly what he wants.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes it takes people a while to see what\u2019s right in front of them.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The epilogue is beautiful and I couldn\u2019t have been happier to not only get Beckett and Maddie\u2019s happily ever after but also to get so much of the other three \u201cold man baseball\u201d players. I fell in love with all of the couples in the other Bellamy Creek<\/i><\/a> novels so I was ecstatic to get a glimpse into their futures as well. And can we talk about the bonus scene?! Perfection!<\/p>\n

Overall, Tie Me Down<\/i> is a wonderful conclusion to the Bellamy creek series, and though I am sad to see it come to the end, these character will always have a place in my heart.<\/p>\n
