This one is chef’s kiss perfection. The slow burn here is absolutely killer. The chemistry between them is hot enough to make your Kindle melt. But this isn’t just a sizzling romance; there’s depth here too. I loved the small-town vibes, the office dynamics, and the way Henley challenges him in ways he never expected. Throw in a touch of enemies-to-lovers and the whole “boss’s daughter” thing, and you’ve got a book that’ll have you blushing, laughing, and swooning.

Thank you netgalley for an Arc of this book. I was so excited to see that Easton was getting a book! I enjoyed his cameos in his sisters book in the magnolia series and the Easter eggs were very much there. I enjoyed how Pavlov gave us a strong FMC who knew what she wanted and acted with emotional intelligence especially in giving time and grace to a MMC who had a lot to deal with which ultimately impacted her too. The drama, I saw coming for a good while and I think that was super intentional and well executed. Also love that we clearly know who the MMCs are of this series thanks this book and I have a good feeling on the pairing for book 2. Another 5 star Pavlov. 6th star awarded for my beefcake showing up!

I love this book very much and its book 1 of five book series!! Defo 5 stars and you need to get this book.

I was lucky to be ARC reader for this book and so glad I have read it released on 9 January

Hensley is the daughter of well known lawer and she wanted to to be a lawer on her own merit not who her family was and she fell in love with Easton who is a top lawer on his own merit and then something bad happened you need to read this

Steal My Heart is the first book in the Rosewood River Series, and it didn't disappoint.

We start off meeting Easton Chadwick, the grumpy hotshot lawyer who is forced to mentor his boss' daughter Henley Holloway.

The relationship between between the two main characters starts off very rocky, but they soon become closer once Easton realises that Henley is not only smart and witty, but an incredible lawyer and can hold her own at pickleball!

Easton and Henley's love story felt very natural. Their banter was funny, and they had a lot in common. It could have been spicier, but that's just my personal preference.

The mental health rep in this book was very good. They both have their own problems. Henley has issues stemming from her childhood, and we learn that Easton went through a traumatic loss and suffers from horrific panic attacks and seeks help from a therapist.

I adored the big family dynamic and how they immediately took Henley under their wing. The Chadwick family was so loving, and the texts between the brothers were hilarious!
It looks like Rafe's story will be next with Henley's best friend, Lulu. I can't wait!

In the meantime, I will be reading Laura's Magnolia Falls series, which includes Easton's twin sister Emmy.

Steal My Heart is available as an ebook on 9th Jan 2025 and in paperback on 20th March 2025.

Thank you to @netgalley , @laurapavlovauthor and @hqstories for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

It was so great to head back to the Laura Pavlov universe and start a brand new series in Rosewood River.

Easton is a hot-shot lawyer who is married to his job after giving up on love, and Henley is his new mentor who just so happens to be his bosses daughter - so of course they’re extremely attracted to each other.

The book follows the two of them as they both work out past issues and current complications that are thrown in their way.

As with all Laura Pavlov books, there’s fantastic side characters, spice, swoon and smiles.

I can’t wait to read more of this series.

Thank you HQ and NetGalley for the ARC.

This is not a drill…
WE GET TO SEE MORE OF BEEFCAKE!!!!

Okay but seriously, this is was such a good start to a new series! You can never go wrong with Laura’s books anyway but I truly loved this one.

Holy wow, Laura Pavlov can do no wrong! She’s set a high bar in this brilliant opening to the Rosewood River series. I’m already obsessed with the Chadwick family!

Immediately, from the opening lines, Steal My Heart had me hooked! I was infatuated and I had the most intense case of heart flutters. For the most part it was fun, sexy, and unbelievably swoony. But it was also something else, something so much more. It was heartfelt and really brought to life some deep feels that left me breathless.

Easton is less than pleased when his boss assigns him to mentor his daughter, Henley. However, they don’t get to the best of starts when Henley accidentally sets off the office alarm and proceeds to spill hot coffee all over him! To say these two start off on the wrong foot, is an understatement. I fell in love with these characters. Their dynamic was so much fun…the way they danced around their affection for each other, unsure of how far they were willing to risk taking things between them within the workplace, but certainly not willing to let each other go. This made for some fantastic banter that kept me smiling for pages on end.

Easton and Henley have both been through a lot in their lives, yet they were such strong, compelling and relatable characters. I could not get over how intoxicated and invested I was in their story. Every word. Every scene. Every exchange. It all held so much heart. I couldn't get enough. I did not want it to end. And I absolutely LOVED every single moment.

I loved this book. I devoured it. I couldn't put it down. It was a perfect mix of everything you could ever wish for in an addictive romance. It was a heartfelt romance that I could not put down. It made me smile and it even broke my heart at times, but then it made me swoon in true Laura Pavlov fashion. Steal My Heart has left me wanting for more and I’m very excited for what’s to come. I’m already in love with this series, and I’m so ready for the next book!

Laura done it again. This time we're in rosewood river and I love seeing Easton and Henley grow as a pair and individual.
It has
- small town romance
- lawyer and boss daughter (co workers)
-dual pov
- a nice amount of spice
- tw: grief and loss

This was so cute, the arc was done so nicely and Laura really does have a formula for smashing these books out. I'm already ready for book 2
Thank you to the publishers for the book request

Thank you for the opportunity to read this e-ARC!

This is the first book I’ve read by Laura and I was very impressed! I love a workplace romance and I was invested in this story from the first chapter. Easton and Henley are compelling and interesting and I was very much rooting for them as a couple! If you like nicknames, small town, alphas, office romance - then you’ll enjoy this 🥰
