Devney Perry

Memphis Ward arrives in Quincy, Montana, on the fifth worst day of her life. She needs a shower. She needs a snack. She needs some sanity. Because moving across the country with her newborn baby is by far the craziest thing she's ever done. But maybe it takes a little crazy to build a good life. If putting the past behind her requires a thousand miles and a new town, she'll do it if it means a better future for her son. Even if it requires setting aside the glamour of her former life. Even if it requires working as a housekeeper at The Eloise Inn and living in an apartment above a garage. It's there, on the fifth worst day of her life, that she meets the handsomest man she's ever laid eyes on. Knox Eden is a beautiful, sinful dream, a chef and her temporary landlord. With his sharp, stubbled jaw and tattooed arms, he's raw and rugged and everything she's never had-and never will. Because after the first worst day of her life, Memphis learned a good life requires giving up on her dreams too. And a man like Knox Eden will only ever be a dream.

The Edens #2

Maybe motherhood wasn’t always being the person your child leaned on, but finding the person they needed when you weren’t enough

I wanted the flexibility to coach Drake’s sports teams if he was into sports. Or take him to piano lessons or to the pool. I wanted more kids. I wanted nights at home on Juniper Hill with my wife.

“Nope. Talia thinks she’s going to be the favorite aunt. But Uncle Mateo is about to steal her thunder.” He tickled Drake. “Isn’t that right, dude? You ever need anything—candy, toys, junk food—I’m your guy.”

“Nope. Talia thinks she’s going to be the favorite aunt. But Uncle Mateo is about to steal her thunder.” He tickled Drake. “Isn’tthat right, dude? You ever need anything—candy, toys, junk food—I’m your guy.”

“Because he wakes up before dawn,” Griffin muttered, pulling out a stool. “My boy’s a morning kid.”

“Not mine.” Knox pulled out the stool beside his brother. “Mine’s a night owl.”

The loft had been mostly empty since Memphis had moved out. But every time I walked up those stairs, I’d think of the nights I’d spent pacing the floor.

The nights when I’d fallen in love with a little boy. And the woman of my dreams.

“I feel guilty. I just . . . I don’t like it there. And he’s my son. Not hers.”

Actually, he was ours. But that was a correction I’d make once the ring in my pocket was on her finger. 

“Oh.” She sighed. “So that’s . . . her.”

“If you need time to talk, I can just go home. Stay in the loft tonight.”

Mine. One short word, four simple letters, and if there’d been any doubt that I was in love with Knox Eden, it vanished.

His protectiveness was second nature. He was a man who took charge. But unlike my dad’s barked orders and inability to compromise, Knox did it with care, not control.

“You are . . . you are a dream,” he breathed. “I gave up on those.”

I respected the hell out of her for walking away. From the money. From the legacy. From the control. I admired her for putting her son’s life first.

How long could a person hold on to the end of their rope before their grip slipped? How long could a woman hold herself together before she cracked?

Maybe motherhood wasn’t always being the person your child leaned on, but finding the person they needed when you weren’t enough.

scream louder. That tiny cry was like a dagger to my heart. It was the sound of a dream lost. The sound of a family gone.

I need someone to show me that they care about me by cooking

“Dad had given him a duck caller this summer on one of their ranch outings—one of the days when Mom had her hands full at the house and Dad would snag a kid or two to take with him as he drove around, inspecting cattle and horses.

      Briggs slept with the duck call. He took a bath with the duck call. He walked with the duck call.

      That fucking duck call was about to go missing.

mine? Knox I’m on my knees. If I was Memphis I would just give drake to him. 

“Griffin muttered, pulling out a stool. “My boy’s a morning kid.”

      “Not mine.” Knox pulled out the stool beside his brother. “Mine’s a night owl.”

“Your parents. What are their names?”

      “So that when I curse them, either in my head or out loud, I can be precise.”

      She gave me a sad smile. “Beatrice and Victor.”

“Oh my God.” She brought her hands up to her cheeks, whispering, “I’m going to get fired.”

      “Eloise, Memphis is worried that she’s going to get fired.”

      “Knox,” Memphis hissed, poking me in the ribs.”

“Do you need to get going?” Mom asked. “Or can you stick around to take this pie to Memphis?”

“It had been a while since I’d been attracted to a woman. Why Memphis? She was as complicated as duck pâté en croûte”

Wow. This book was very climatic. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good read. Devney really did her thing with this one.

3.5 . so cute !! vv quick and easy to read

Absolutely love this series so far! I was told this was one of the best books in the series and I understand why. I love every aspect of it from beginning to middle to end. Knox Eden is now on of my favorite book boyfriends going forward. The mindset he had when it came to Drake was adorable and he just found a way to make me tear up with his declarations. These are some of the few books that even though they are together by the middle of the book and doesn’t have a third act break up that I’m still entertained till the end of the book. This book again is making me want to drop everything and finish the series because they are just so addicting to read!

Loved Memphis’ and Knox’ love story. They are adorable together and when you add drake to the mix…. Your heart might explode 😂

Highly enjoyed reading this book, although it was a bit too fast paced for me. to me, it felt like it all happened in a too short amount of time

Love it love it love it. Knox and Memphis are so perfect and I love their relationship with Drake. Their romance was refreshing and I loved that their story wasn’t boring, it was filled with trust, learning, and adapting. I couldn’t wait and I almost shrieked when Knox called Drake his (I saw it on TikTok and was restless waiting for it to come up). The storyline was perfect and I love the unconventional (meaning not a break up or past relationship) conflict of the story. Devney Perry has definitely become one of my favorite authors! Super excited for payday to buy Garnet Flats!!

3.5 THIS BOOK IS SO CUTE I LITERALLY CAN‘T. knox and memphis are the best and this book in general is so adorable, kinda boring at some points, but other than that pretty perfect.

Knox and memphis are perfect for each other.

Knox and drake absolutely warmed and broke my heart together.

memphis is a strong level headed woman and you would never think for a second she was what she described she was.

If we tried this and it didn’t work, you’d lose him.”
“Yeah.” He nodded. “I know what’s on the line, Memphis. But I’m standing here anyway

Knox was so perfect omg It almost made up for the baby's name being Drake💀

The ending was a bit...weird. It was obvious that it only happened to create some tension and make it more exciting but it was poorly executed. The reason behind it didn't really make sense - it was bullshit if I'm being honest lol - so it was more irritating than exciting. I was a bit confused as well because some parts didn't add up to how they were portrayed which only proves that this plot was more of an afterthought.

I really loved the small town vibes without it being too much. I don't need to read about random people in town who are only mentioned once to bring a point across, I rather focus on the main characters. They stayed mostly to themselves (including family/friends) apart from two or three small interactions which I really liked. More town folk wasn't needed for me to bring the feeling across.

Knox's family was the typical cliché always hugging, lovely big family with way too many children but I loved it. Knox being a chef was the cherry on top! There's nothing sexier than a man who cooks haha

He and his family were so sweet to Drake it was really wholesome. In addition to that, Memphis and Knox had great communication skills! I wasn't frustrated with them once.

Including the Mafia was so random I don't know what to say. Thankfully, it was only mentioned a couple of times and other than that not important.

The rest of the book was great tho!

I have to be honest I like the first book more than this one mainly because there was the mystery of the case. This book has no cases, meet Memphis a single mom driving to Quincy leaving her whole life behind just to start over with her two-months-old little boy Drake (who cried for half of the book) she stays with Knox (Griffin’s brother from book 1) and their relationship grows gradually. The book mainly shows Memphis’s struggles with her new life but how she loves it anyway, while dealing with old problems that keep coming back

This is the third book I’ve read in this series and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Perry’s writing style is great and this whole world is so lovely and comforting. 

There are so many great things in this book. Hot tattooed chef meets badass single mom navigating a new lifestyle. Knox is so good and I fell in love with him too. 

There is also a good storyline separate from the romance that was slightly predictable but still interesting and added good tension to everything. 

Overall, it was a great small town romance and I am happy to have picked it up.

But maybe it takes a little crazy to build a good life. If putting the past behind her requires a thousand miles and a new town, she’ll do it if it means a better future for her son.

With his sharp, stubbled jaw and tattooed arms, he’s raw and rugged and everything she’s never had—and never will. Because after the first worst day of her life, Memphis learned a good life requires giving up on her dreams too. And a man like Knox Eden will only ever be a dream.

This honestly feels like a fever dream like ? The plot was a hot mess and NOT in a good way the pacing was horrible the build up to the romance was non existent the romance between the two leads was so bland and dry. Girlie did not catch a break idk if its just me but if you make your character go through shit ton of things while also having a newborn...just....dont give her a love interest in the time she's trying to figure stuff out ? Idk

Memphis is top 5 book girlies of all time

I have no words this was so cute and comforting. I love a small town romance but then add single parent and forced proximity and suddenly I really want to cry. 
From Indigio Ridge I knew I was going to be obsessed with Knox bcs I have a type and when it comes to book men and a brooding tattooed chef that doesn't say much...instantly I'm going to be in love. 
The entirety of the story just felt like a warm hug. Especially the fact that the Edens just adopted Drake and Memphis into their family without any thought. The love was felt from not only Knox but also the rest of the family. The worked together like a big blended family and it was the sweetest thing. Obviously I love Knox for more than superficial reason but one of my favourite things is that he refused to let Memphis self sabotage or even question their relationship or her ability as a mother. He really encouraged the whole 'I'm only doing this until she can see what I see in her' which is strength. 

My only issue was the pacing it almost felt like things just escalated so quickly and with no third act break up I was constantly on edge waiting for the other shoe to drop. But the cute fluffy moments made all of that not matter. There was so much strength and maturity in their relationship that you know it isn't realistic for them to break up over something as stupid as a miscommunication. 

Obvi this will become one of my comfort books and I will probably reread this soon because this book was actually heaven.
