It was amazing to read how Cooper reacted to being on the ranch vs city life; how he compared his life prior to Rebecca to now with Rebecca. This was a beautiful and unique story that had so many good moments, tissues will be required. There are secrets and suspense, romance and intrigue that keeps you glued from start to finish. I loved every moment. Will Rebecca let Cooper into her life , will Cooper admit their love is real, will they pursue a relationship or let things go when he leaves the ranch?
All these questions and more will be answered when you read this fantastic and beautiful 2nd chance love story. Apr 10, Sofia Lazaridou rated it really liked it. This time around was a good novel most of the time. I honestly don't understand why Rebecca had so much trouble saying three little words when she was feeling them. She didn't deserve Cooper as her happily ever after. The dude did everything in his power to make sure that she was taken care of and he was there for her.
He had a more loving relationship with the little goat. When I was reading the book I felt like Cooper had found his forever woman and Rebecca had just found someone to help her g This time around was a good novel most of the time. When I was reading the book I felt like Cooper had found his forever woman and Rebecca had just found someone to help her get over her husband's death.
I wanna know if Cooper won an Oscar for his latest role. And I wanna know why Rebecca's first husband did what he did the night he died. I didn't get closure. The secondary characters were a nice touch to the story and they made everything better. I hope the next books in the series will feature them and not someone else.
I want to see how the author plans to give them their happily ever afters. I have to say that I was a little unfair to Rebecca and that she was a good person. It's just that the story was going so well until she hesitated and never said the words. After that, some things seemed forced and I grew a little tired of reading this book. Overall, the book was good and I would recommend it. Cooper is a great hero. Apr 11, Liz rated it it was amazing. It was a sweet and charming story about second chances. It had great characters and really engaging story I lost myself in. Cooper Hawke has it all.

She is struggling to move forward and buries herself in running her ranch. But when her uncle asks for a favor, she cannot say no. But she did not expect her response to Cooper when he arrives. Cooper and Rebecca were both so lost and broken when they meet, but their connection is strong and definitive from the start. Even as they begin to connect, can they ever really have a future?
This was a beautiful and charming second chance romance with all the feels. It was slow burning and loved seeing them begin to open up to the other. Stacey Lynn did an amazing job engaging readers with This Time Around. I am so excited to read more in this series.
Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog. Apr 13, Ptiteaurel rated it it was amazing. J'adore les romans de Stacey Lynn car ils sont toujours empreints de douceur et l'auteur nous offre toujours de superbes histoires. Mar 28, Bozica rated it really liked it. There is no drama for drama sake driving her stories and t Now live! This Time Around is a beautifully written slow burn romance between Hollywood heartthrob Cooper Hawke and country girl cattle farmer and window Rebecca Splendid. So how does a Hollywood Actor who knows nothing about farming find himself on cattle farm in a small country town outside Kansas for the summer?
And why is the owner less than impressed by his arrival despite having previously agreed to him coming and helping her? Our story slowly unfolds and through dual POV we discover the reasons and motivations that brought these 2 seemingly very different people together. They soon realise they both experienced very similar circumstances at the hands of their spouses but it was how they chose to deal with the fall out that was the difference. I must admit I loved Cooper instantly, but Rebecca took a while.
I really enjoyed how their relationship developed and with small and very cautious steps developed into more. I hope that with the next book in the series that Ms Lynn revisits them and give us an update on what is happening in their lives. Cooper is a Famous Hollywood actor who is dealing with a broken marriage. With down time between films he decided to go of the grid which lead him to Rebecca's ranch. Rebecca too is dealing with a lost marriage but her is due to her husband sudden death and not to mention her parents early death a few years ago.
Rebecca and Cooper get to know one another and find an attraction that they can't deny. But what happens with Cooper returns to his real life? Great second chance at love story. Apr 02, Flo Grugel rated it really liked it. Really sweet enjoyable read! Apr 10, Michell Hall casper rated it it was amazing. I have read all of Stacey Lynn's books and it has been amazing to watch her grow as an author. This book was not your typical cocky Hollywood heart throb story. This was a beautifully written story about loss, betrayal, strength, hope, and love.
I loved everything about this book. From the storyline to all the characters. It was very well thought out. It held my attention from the beginning to the very end. A definite must read!! Apr 05, Sharon Kallenberger Marzola rated it really liked it Shelves: I like this story of small-town midwest rancher meets big time Hollywood. Love the characters, the setting, the slow build from hate to friends to more. There are some slow sections but not too slow. For me personally, I don't like a lot of inner thoughts.
Full review will be on Badass Bloggettes https: Apr 11, Candyce Kirk rated it really liked it. Rebecca and Cooper are both dealing different tragedies that may be more similar than they think. Rebecca's uncle Max, is Cooper's agent, arranges for him to hide out on the family ranch. Cooper is going through some things with his soon to be ex-wife and being a popular movie star, doesn't make it easy to go and hide away somewhere.
A ranch in Kansas sounds like the perfect spot. Rebecca isn't so sure seeing how she's still getting over her husband's death 8 months ago. Cooper knows nothing abo Rebecca and Cooper are both dealing different tragedies that may be more similar than they think. Cooper knows nothing about farm life, but is willing to learn. He soon realizes that he picks it up pretty fast and it's actually good for him. The author did a good job giving us a look inside the characters' heads and gave us a duel POV. For a movie star, Cooper is really humble and I loved how caring he was.
I loved how beside them facing tragedy and getting to know the other, we got a look in to the farm life Rebecca had going. It sounds like a beautiful place to live. Being in a small town makes things complicated at times and we got a taste of that. A lot of romances only focus on the couple so, it was nice to read about the friends Rebecca had and her protective brother.
They seemed like an amazing group of people to have as a support system. Also, I loved that the author kept the drama to a minimum when it came to Camilla. It could've been dragged along or been a major deal.
There are so many things that made it special and unique. I like Cooper he didn't fit in farm life but he learned a lot and embraced it. In order to get Cooper away from the relentless paparazzi, his agent sends him to a Ranch in Kansas which belongs to his niece Rebecca. Blog rated it it was amazing. Apr 08, April Symes rated it it was amazing Shelves: This time around we will win. Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 [7].
I liked that while we knew things were happening, it didn't become the whole book. There was a nice balance of past, healing and learning to trust new people. I think the only reason this book didn't get 5 stars was that I just recently read another book where the main character just lost her husband and was dealing with that.
Reading multiple books like this so soon right after each other makes it seeem less original. This Time Around was definitely a beautiful story filled with healing and learning to love again. Life doesn't always go as planned and sometimes you need to take risks to find out what you need in life. Full review coming online tomorrow on: Apr 08, Mari rated it really liked it Shelves: Rebecca lost her husband with unresolved issues that hung over her. But she needed help and finally accepts it in the form of a escaping actor from the paparazzi.
Cooper has been burned too by ex so he goes to clear his head. I like Cooper he didn't fit in farm life but he learned a lot and embraced it. Their relationship was tentative and shaky at first, there's something about Rebecca though 4. Their relationship was tentative and shaky at first, there's something about Rebecca though that attracts him. She's kind and hardworking, good heart too simple and down to earth.
It's a landmine of memories for them and it makes sense they took things at her pace and kicked her walls down. It's a nice change of pace, in my opinion, they dealt with things not without minor hiccups still. Rebecca can be stubborn to get help but friends don't give up on her and Cooper got her back. Honestly he felt too good to be true but it felt real enough. Still with all that happened, was it too all fast or they needed time? This time around is a feel good, small town romance with a swoon worthy hero and a genuine down to earth heroine. I enjoyed Cooper and Rebecca's story, the pace made sense and that they gave it time.
Glad to know there's more to come from this small town since the secondary characters was a blast. Apr 04, Erin Lewis rated it it was amazing. Cooper has no idea that Rebecca is a widow, and is surprised by her manner and sharpness at times.
Once he knows the truth it all begins 4. Once he knows the truth it all begins to makes more sense.
I was entranced with the story that Ms. Lynn wove, wanting desperately for Cooper and Rebecca to open their eyes and their hearts, to give love a chance to grow. The chemistry between them was blazing, with the romance slowly building between the movie star and the rancher. I was drawn to Cooper almost immediately, Rebecca not so much, but as their story unfolded she grew on me, particularly as the depth of her hurt was revealed. This is an emotional read and one that is well written with characters who are believable and easy to relate too.
The secondary characters were just as interesting as Cooper and Rebecca and I hope to read their stories in the not too distant future. Cooper Hawke is a swoon-worthy, famous actor, who had his heart trampled on by his soon-to-be-ex-wife. His agent sends him to Kansas for the summer to live with Rebecca Splendid on her cattle ranch in order to heal and dodge the media limelight.
Neither appreciates the attraction that erupts between them, but neither can deny they share a heady chemistry. They slowly get to know one another as they work alongside each other on the ranch, and they realize that they have more in common than they ever thought possible. ARC provided, but this review was voluntarily and honestly written.
Apr 12, Reviews from the Heart Kimberly Anne rated it it was amazing. I don't think I've fully recovered from the awesomeness that This Time Around truly is. I love finding an author that I enjoy reading time and time again, but even more so when you can see the author's work getting better and better with each story. I find this amazing especially when you don't think that there is anyway for them to improve upon their talent. Stacey has always delivered characters that I love, and stories that I want to hold onto long after the final words are read.
This Time Around was no exception. Cooper was not at all what I was expecting as an actor needing to escape Hollywood for a while. He was amazing and just lost enough that these two would be perfect at helping each other find their way. I found myself getting frustrated with the story because I wanted them to hurry up and get together. I knew that they weren't meant for each other and didn't want to wait, of course there wouldn't have been a story to read if that had been the case so I am so grateful that Stacey made me wait for these two to find their way.
This Time Around is the first book in the Love in the Heartland series and I cannot wait for the next one. Apr 10, Heather C rated it it was amazing Shelves: This Time Around is beautiful and inspiring. It makes you embrace who you are and fight for what you want. And Cooper might have just made my very short list of sweet guys that I fell for.
Rebecca is recently widowed and running her family farm by herself. When her Uncle, a LA Talent agent, tells her he's sending her one of his clients to help her out because he needs to escape, she had no idea her life was about to change. She didn't want the help but once he arrived, things sure did change.
Cooper's soon to be ex wife was the love of his life but she's been cheating on him and all he wants to do is remove himself from the toxic life she has created. While not keen on the idea of being on a ranch in Kansas, he finds that that it is in fact the one place that will give him the peace he needs. And so much more. This Time Around is a super sweet and endearing second chance romance that will make your heart flutter and keep you swooning.
I enjoyed both Cooper and Rebecca and haven't pulled for such a sweet couple like them in a long time. She's stubborn, smart and kind and he's patient, strong and supportive. These two find each other at the perfect time and just know they are right for each other. If you want to swoon, feel the love and laugh at a goat called Pepper then you need to read this book!
Apr 04, Dayang rated it it was amazing. She's one of my faves. It focuses more on the simple life On taking a step back and just breathe It's far from reading about whiny, ungrateful A-Listers.

This story will definitely take you on an emotional ride I had been in a book-hungover for a couple of days and none of my current reads got me out of my funk until I read this one I was enthralled by the story of Cooper and Rebecca from the very beginning.
And eventhough it's mostly drama, it's not draining at all. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did! Apr 05, Tanja Kezmic rated it it was amazing Shelves: While reading it my heart was breaking for both of them. They had so much happened to them and they were still fighting to try and piece their life back together again.
