A review by meezcarrie
My Heart Belongs in Glenwood Springs, Colorado by Rebecca Jepson

4.0

The latest offering in the ‘My Heart Belongs’ series (each book is a stand-alone) is Jepson’s debut novel, and what a swoony debut it is! Romantic tension simmers throughout, sometimes sparking into flame and even an occasional inferno. (That first kiss – whew!) This tension is electrified even further by the emotional love triangle – a woman who has made a fresh life for herself, the man she almost married and the brother who kept them apart, all unexpectedly reunited in close quarters. Broody John Drexel is delightfully Darcy-ish, his brother Stephen much more congenial but also lackadaisical. And in the middle is Millie Cooper – a strong protagonist with whom readers will quickly empathize and for whom they will root for a happily-ever-after. Deep emotions, a bit of humor and a dose or two of tragedy nicely complement the plot, and the character transformation throughout is inspiring. While some of the dialogue is a bit stilted, this is easily overlooked in the midst of all the positives.
