REVIEW – Loved Enough by Kelly Elliott

BLURB

Even though they’d never dated, Lily Shaw always just assumed she’d eventually end up with Ben, the boy who’s been her bestie since they were toddlers. So she’s understandably shocked to learn he’s getting married—and having a child with his fiancée. Shocked…but not terribly upset. The truth is, she’s been feeling butterflies every time she’s near a particular horse trainer on her parents’ ranch. Unfortunately, though attracted to Lily, Maverick’s decided he has nothing to offer her beyond a good time.

The Shaws are all about family, something Maverick Prescott admires. But despite his boss treating him like another son, and Maverick wanting the man’s daughter in the worst way, how can he start something he doesn’t think he can finish? He has nothing to offer Lily, not even his own heritage. Just a past filled with so much pain, he decided a long time ago he’s best off spending his life alone, tending to the rescue horses who are just as damaged as Maverick.

Lily, however, is a typical Shaw—stubborn as the day is long. Getting into Maverick’s bed is the easy part; getting into his heart is the real challenge. But maybe if he feels loved enough, he’ll be willing to give them a chance.

Loved Enough is a stand alone novel but for a better reading experience the author invites you to read the books in order.


ARC REVIEW

Maverick and Lily’s story made my heart happy. I absolutely loved this book and this couple. 

Maverick works on Shaw Ranch and is close with Tanner and Timberlynn and their children. I love him. He is hardworking and really has been on his own his entire life. He doesn’t let people get close to him. He’s also been crushing on Lily since the moment he laid eyes on her, but never felt like he was what she deserved. Lily is just a caring soul when it comes to people and to horses. She is such a joy throughout this entire story. 

The chemistry between Maverick and Lily is strong and I felt it only got stronger the closer they got to each other. Maverick’s past break my heart, but I am glad he had Lily and the rest of the Shaw family in his corner now and they are showing the love and so much more that he may have missed out on growing up. 

I can’t wait to return to Shaw Ranch, because I absolutely love this family. 

If you’re looking for a friends to lovers, small town romance check this one out.
