Grand Finale Blitz ~ *Trusting Her Heart* By Tara Randel @TaraRandel @PrismBookTours #giveaway
Hello Readers! Iโm so happy to be a part of this book tour featuring my newest Heartwarming novel, Trusting Her Heart, Book 3 in the Meet Me at the Altar series. The Matthews brothers are still hunting for information on the man their widowed mother is dating. They never expected their search would uncover so many secrets. . .
“You’re on pins and needles while you’re waiting for the big revelations to happen, because at the same time, you want Logan and Serena to be able to fall for each other in a big and honest way and to work things out. And I love the town of Golden. It sounds like a quaint place I wouldn’t mind visiting one day. I am looking forward to more stories from here.”
As they walked through town, it was all Logan could do not to take her hand in his. This wasnโt a date, he had to keep reminding himself. He suspected she had information about the man heโd been hired to investigate. He needed to keep his wits about him. Yes, Serena was beautiful, but she clearly had secrets he needed to ferret out.
As they passed the park, fireflies flitted about in the entrance. Serena laughed, clearly enchanted.
โOh, my goodness.โ She pulled her phone from her back pocket. โI have always wanted to do a series of cards featuring fireflies.โ After snapping a few pictures, she scrolled through the gallery. โI canโt think of anything more beautiful than twinkling lights coming from these tiny creatures.โ
“Trusting Her Heart is entertaining and endearing, with a town full of characters I canโt wait to spend more time with. The romance simmers with chemistry and tension, and the first kiss is hold-your-breath sweet. Randel weaves a theme of trust, belonging, friendship and family into a layered plot that will keep you absorbed in the story until youโve reached the end. I look forward to more time with this series, the town, and the characters!”
Serena pointed down. โTurned ankle.โ
He kneeled down before her, his hand lightly grazing her skin as he examined the injured joint. An unwanted but undeniable shiver rushed over her. Good grief, he was only being a concerned citizen.
โIโm fine,โ she told him, trying to shift away as his warm fingers palpated the bone.
โYou should probably have it checked out,โ he said, rising when he got the hint she didnโt want him in her personal space.
“I adored this story!!
Tara has done a wonderful job writing it. She has done an excellent job of bringing to life these wonderful characters and their feelings. Serena’s especially. You could feel her fear of being found out oozing out of the book and hitting you head on. So you definitely know that there’s going to be a great story here. . . . I strongly recommend this book.”
“Randel is absolutely awesome with her work. Her characters, both main and secondary are wonderfully chiseled and come to life within the pages. Her ability to make the reader feel a true part of the story is incredible and I recommend this heart warming, captivating, romantic read. . .”
โWhatโs got her upset?โ Carrie asked as she walked into their circle.
โGreen-eyed monster,โ Heidi quipped.
Serena sputtered over a denial that didnโt quite reach her tongue.
Carrie peered at the guests, not having to be told the topic of the conversation was Logan. โHeโs not interested in her.โ
Despite herself, Serena asked, โHow can you tell?โ
โBecause I sat across the table from you two and trust me, Logan only had eyes for you.โ
“Trusting Her Heart is a sweet story of family and friendship, home and hope. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip to charming Golden, Georgia with Serena and Logan, and I think other readers of contemporary romance will, too. Add it to the TBR!”
“What gives you the best joy of course is watching how Ms Randel knits her characters closer together at moments where they’d prefer to remain isolated, alone and single. She doesn’t let them root there in their own self-pity, but rather attempts to push them towards the people who have unconditional love to share and friendship which will last longer than a rumour. This is a series that is about working through your problems, trusting in yourself to have the change to repair the past and finding a place as calm as Golden to renew your spirit as you redefine your path.”

“If you enjoy Heartwarming Romance with family, friendships, and some good laughs then read this book. Some of lifeโs trials feel unbreakable. Some hard times have to be pushed through. Trusting Her Heart by Tara Randel is a wonderful read full of the ups and downs of life.”
โI always loved Golden this time of year,โ he said.
Grandmother turned in her chair to look at him. โYou could love it again, you know.โ
โI donโt see that happening.โ
โReally? And what about Serena? Could she make you love living here again?โ
He sent a sideways glance to his crafty grandmother. โNot very subtle.โ
โIโm beyond subtle. I adore Serena. I see you two falling love.โ
If only she knew he was halfway there.
“Family, friendship, and finding a place to truly call home (a place where you are surrounded by people who love you no matter what your past mistakes) are themes that run throughout Trusting Her Heart. The romance is sweet and intense, and Randel brings more characters onto the page who I hope to get to know better in future books.”
โGood night,โ she said, slipping behind the wheel.
As she drove away, he was conscious of the prickly awareness heโd tried to dismiss ever since heโd met her. There was something about her he couldnโt ignore. An energy that drew him to her despite his good intentions to keep it purely professional between them. His instincts, however, told him she was going to be nothing but trouble.
“I really enjoyed watching these two characters on their road to happily ever after and all the side characters just added that specialness: especially Grandmother. This was a sweet romance in a small town with a bit of family drama that made for a nice escape.”
“Thereโs a lot going on in this book. Of course romance, but it was pretty light on the Romance, a little suspense added in, and the cozy little town where everyone knew everyone else. And they were ok with it. I really enjoyed this read, and I encourage you to pick up a copy for yourself. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.”
“I loved the grandmother in this book. She enjoyed playing matchmaker. Serena has a shop, and Logan grandmother works there. She is trying to play matchmaker between them.”
Loganโs gaze wandered to Blue Ridge Cottage of its own volition. He wondered if Serena was involved with the guild. Would she be at the tea party? If so, he could use the opportunity to question her some more.
Or simply enjoy her company.
Yeah, there was that.
“Such an amazing book, with so much sweet passion and romance! . . . Her characterization is amazing and I really fell in love with Serena and Logan. If you love a really sweet romance, then this is the book for you!”
