This is book 4 in the Cloverleigh Farms series. It follows Henry & Sylvia. He works at the winery, she is the eldest of the Sawyer girls. She just moved back to town with her two children after divorcing her husband. This is a small-town, second chance, single mom romance. I loved the dynamic between Henry and Sylvia immediately. I honestly didn't think I was going to enjoy this book as much as I did. This one definitely tugged at my heartstrings in certain parts and had me tearing up.

Unbreakable is the fourth book in the Cloverleigh Farms series. I’ve been anticipating this book knowing it was Sylvia and Henry’s story. I’ve been wanting and needing to know about these two and couldn’t wait to see how their story would unfold.

Sylvia is newly divorced and trying to settle into her new normal. She hasn’t been the woman she used to be for a long time. She moves back home and hopes the fresh start will be what she needs for her and her children. She can always count on her family to be there for her, always. Sylvia is so selfless and puts her children and their happiness above her own. But along the way she didn’t expect Henry, and especially not to fall as fast as she did for him.

Henry is also newly divorced and spends his time working too much. He’s worked for Cloverleigh Farms for over a decade and has known and has a good relationship with the Sawyer family. When Sylvia moves back home that’s when Henry gets to know her better and where ultimately feelings start to blossom.

Sylvia and Henry were so good together. There was no denying their spark. Their attraction came to life in this book. They had an easygoing friendship that I just loved. And their chemistry, good lord was it electrifying. I loved their banter and how cute they were together. Sylvia and Henry are two people who feel lost, but in each other find everything they never thought could be possible. I loved how they trusted each other and above everything how honest they were with one another. I just loved these two so much.

Unbreakable was sweet, beautiful, and heartfelt. A perfect story about second chances at life, new beginnings, finding yourself and in the process also opening your heart and letting love in.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book*

Storyline wise, this book is the best of them so far. Although I remember Aprils story so that might give this a run for it’s money. But I think this is my fav story so for.

Sylvia and Henry absolutely deserved to love and to be loved and I’m so glad things worked out the way they did. Their stories are heart wrenching but it made for a beautiful ending that just goes to show that in the end, everything works out the way it was meant to be!

I loved the realism of going through a divorce and father feeling of inadequacy (not that I j know what it’s like), but for both Sylvia and Henry, there struggle was so real on the page. I also really enjoyed the realism of having children and going through a divorce and seeing their actions and reactions to certain things.

I think Whitney in particular made things a little difficult for Sylvia but her feelings and reactions were so real, it made the book more enjoyable!

Overall, I loved it! Henry has the be the sweetest, kindest, most caring guy alive… or not alive and I happy he got his happily ever after! I’m happy they both did!

This was such a cute single parent romance story! I loved Henry and Sylvia.

Henry is legitimately a cinnamon roll. He was such an amazing MMC, and his dedication to and love for Sylvia was, honestly, breathtaking. He is nothing if not amazing! Everything about him was lovable—think Dennis Quaid in the Parent Trap vibes (without him having kids). The epilogue made me SO incredibly happy for him. It was, quite possibly, one of my favorite epilogues.

Sylvia was strong as hell. Her story was brutal—to say the least. Her ex-husband was literal garbage, and I was so happy to see how much different Henry was from her ex. He was exponentially better to and better for Sylvia. Sylvia’s dedication as a mother was incredibly admirable, especially because she struggled in order to make her kids happy. Nothing was more important than her kids—even at the expense of her happiness with Henry. It was hard to read how both Henry and Sylvia were miserable while separated, but it was an understandable separation. The reunion was amazing, so it was all worth it.

This is such a good romance with older, mature main characters.

This felt a little too rushed, too insta-connection and too insta-lovey especially considering they were both recently divorced and from heavily emotional and triggering relationships.

I couldn't wait to see what happened after the last book, with Sylvia and her horrible husband. I love this series and love learning more about old side and lead characters as well. Henry was a swoon lead in this and his respect for her and her kids was just amazing. Not only he is handsome, he is nerdy and outdoorsy!

This is such a fun read for a romance as it's a pure second chance for Sylvia and Henry with so much of her life as a single mom. It has some pure sexy steamy scenes and its not a slow burn at all! Another, Harlow win with this series and love all her family ties for Cloverleigh Farms, all the characters, her ability to write characters you just love, and also the hot hot steam!

Overall, 4.5 stars. 4 for steam.
