Review Tour - HEARTLAND by Sarina Bowen




An emotional friends to lovers romance full of risky secrets and late-night lessons in seduction.

Dylan is my best friend, and the only person in my life who understands me. He doesn’t mind my social awkwardness or my weird history. The only glitch? He doesn’t know that I’ve been hopelessly, desperately in love with him since the first day we picked apples together in his family’s orchard.
But I know better than to confess.
Now that we’re both in college together, I’m seeing a new side of him. College Dylan drinks and has a lot of sex. None of it with me.
Until the night I foolishly ask him to tutor me in more than algebra…and he actually says yes.
But the cool morning light shows me how badly I’ve endangered our friendship. And I don’t know if anything will be the same again.






4 Stars

This is my first book read if the True North series and though I am a little intrigued by the other characters and can see myself going back to read more, I never felt lost in this story due to not reading the others. A wonderful NA friends to lovers story with loads of emotions and finding what you really want.

Dylan comes across as your typical having fun partying college guy. Happy to keep things casual and not looking for a relationship. He doesn't make promises as he has failed those in the past and still struggles with the outcome of broken promises. But he is loyal to his family and friends, always wanting to please everyone. He has a special place in his heart for his innocent best friend and feels fiercely protective of her.

Chastity is just getting her feet wet in this free world, running away from a religious cult wanting more. Struggling with the day to day as well as being a student in college, with no formal teachings in the past. She is truly thankful for the opportunity she has thanks to some friends who also left the life she knew. So thankful for her friend Dylan and his helping her. But struggling with the feelings that are growing for a man who doesn't see her that way.

 Tutoring for her classes, a joint venture business to help with some extra cash and spending a lot more time together. Could this be a recipe for disaster or could it be the start of something wonderful. Will Dylan give commitment a try? Will Chastity follow her heart and share her feelings?

I enjoyed the character growth and chemistry through the story. I am dying to hear Rickie's story.
