About this ebook

I’ll do anything to protect her. Even if it destroys me…

No one is as close to my heart as Sutton. We’ve been best friends forever, and I love her.

I’m also in love with her.

Not that she knows it. I can’t risk losing her over something as unpredictable as romance.

So, when her grandmother issued the ultimatum to marry or lose everything, I didn’t intend to get involved.

But I did.

I suggested she marry me.

We’re complete opposites. She’s an heiress, and I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. She can have anyone she wants…and I only want her.

The odds of this marriage ending in happily ever after are slim. I know that.

What I don’t know is how I’m going to make it out of this thing with my heart intact. I guess that’ll ultimately be up to Sutton, though.

Especially since my heart has been hers from the beginning.

Close to My Heart, book 3 in the Calloway series, is a sexy, sweet and spicy, friends to lovers contemporary romance novel that can be read as a standalone. Download today, and get ready to fall for Wes and Sutton.

Close to My Heart has us back with the Calloway family with all the banter and family times. We get Wes and Sutton's story and it is a sweet, easy-to-read, marriage of convenience of two friends who deep down have strong feelings for one another that everyone can see but each other. Ms. Coll had my full attention right from the start with how Wes made sure Sutton was safe and in his arms. Talk about a man after your heart. Boy was he the perfect best friend for Sutton. I could not put this book down. Wes was swoon-worthy, Sutton was a woman who stood her ground, and her grandmother was a woman who wanted the best for her granddaughter however went about it unusually and the rest of the Calloways are always a joy to read about. I can't wait to see what Ms. Coll gives us with Ryder's book.

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ Best Friends since meeting under the slide in grade school Wes and Sutton have always been there for each other. Now Sutton has a BIG problem, her grandmother wants her to get married before she dies or she won't leave her family estate to her. While Sutton is upset, Wes is even angrier for her and as she starts dating her mothers picks for suitable husbands he also becomes jealous. With some nudging from his self-conscious, some goading from his brothers whether they were serious or not he finally proposed himself. And it should be the perfect solution if only these two could confess their feelings. Unfortunately even though Wes's whole family is for this relationship, there are others very against every part of it. Will these best friends, finally have a conversation and admit their feelings or let everything be destroyed? Another wonderful addition to the Calloways. I have voluntarily left this review.

Close To My Heart is the third book in The Calloway's Series. This was an emotional cute heartwarming story between forever friends Sutton and Wes. When Sutton’s grandmother's will unexpectedly states Sutton must marry if she wishes to inherit, Wes comes to the rescue.

I recommend this highly entertaining marriage of convenience HEA story and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
