"This was such a beautiful story. It includes some of my favorite tropes: single father, close proximity, and a touch of insta-love. It’s a fast-paced romance that somehow doesn’t feel rushed at all. I really loved how the romance blends with the emotional healing two of the characters go through after their past struggles. The train scenes were especially cozy and heartfelt, almost like they were already a little family. And that scene near the end? It genuinely brought tears to my eyes. My favorite moment, though, was the one with Avery and Jenn in the forest… so soft and special. If you enjoy single-parent romances, this is definitely one you don’t want to miss."

This is a lovely story and a terrific compliment to this enjoyable series. Based on a scale of 1-5, Derailed Hearts merits a 7."
