Publisher's summary

Kelly Collins welcomes you to Aspen Cove, the tiny Colorado town where fresh starts, hope, and true love live.

One Hundred Reasons: Nurse Sage Nichols’ life is falling apart. Her favorite patient has just died. She’s lost her job. And she’s been evicted. When she finds out she inherited a bed and breakfast in a remote town in the Rockies, she’s determined to sell it and return to Denver.

When Cannon Bishop’s mother died, he gave up his dreams of leaving Aspen Cove and stayed to run the family business. As owner of the only bar and son to the town drunk, he’s got no room in his life for a woman. But when Sage Nichols breezes into town, she changes everything. And if there’s one thing Cannon hates, it’s change. She’s a woman who wants to leave. He’s a man who has to stay. There are 100 reasons keeping them apart. Can they find one to keep them together?

One Hundred Heartbeats: Katie Middleton knows what it’s like to stare death in the face, and now she wants to find true love. She worried it wasn't possible, until bad boy Bowie Bishop appeared. Bowie Bishop was sure he’d never love again after his fiancée died. That was before he met Katie, but she’s keeping a secret. Will the truth tear them apart, or will they find salvation in each other's arms?

One Hundred Wishes: Samantha White is a pop star trying to figure things out. She realizes she may not get the clarity and calm she’s seeking, but if she plays her cards right, she’ll get something better—love. Dalton Black doesn’t ask for much, but when he meets Samantha, things ignite. Can a singer find forever with an ex-convict, or will their love be paroled early?

Feels like a kiss from the heavens.

Feels like a kiss from the heavens. Aspen Cove is the place where hearts dare to dream and souls go to heal.

One Hundred Reasons draws inspiration from the heartaches of life. Collins proves there is a bright side to life's painful moments. Sage and Cannon have seen their share of tragedy. For Sage it comes with the territory. As a nurse, she gets to see how precious and unfair life can be. Cannon is still reeling from his brush with heartbreak. There is no recovering from the blow dealt his way. Until a stranger comes to Aspen Cove and touches the pieces of himself, he thought forever broken. One Hundred Reasons awakens the butterflies of the heart to the hope in your soul.

One Hundred Heartbeats feels like a kiss from the heavens. Collins knows how to bring on the heart tingles, while McAllister simply takes your breath away. Katie and Bowie are learning how to exhale after tragedy changes the course of his life and nearly costs her her's. Katie has learned how to appreciate life in a whole new way. Determined to live every moment, she discovers that only in the heartache, can you learn the value of happiness. Sweet story laced with wisdom and the every present emotion of a Collins romance. I love this book.

Aspen Cove is the place where hearts dare to dream and souls go to heal. A less than ideal life has brought two strangers to a crossroads. As a youth, Samantha White dreamed of something better. Caught in a life filled with heartache and poverty, she wanted to escape. Now an adult Samantha seems to have it all. A glamorous career, a ton of money and an unmatched celebrity. From the outside, she's living the dream, but inwardly she's falling apart. It seems she can never stop running. Going incognito is the best way to find peace, until a past she wanted to outrun starts to feel like a perfect fit. Dalton is the dream she never hoped to have and refuses to live without. What happens when the present she left behind, proves a stumbling block to the future she's just beginning. Collins begins and ends with emotion. One Hundred Wishes puts it's best heart forward and step right into the soul. McAllister made a breathing entity out of an already breathtaking journey. Beautiful.

You'll love this collection!

I couldn’t stop listening to this collection, and it took me over twenty hours to do so! This is three books in one, so very much worth a credit in my opinion. Besides the value of so many hours of listening, I love that I was introduced to a set of characters that I can follow for many books to come. I’d definitely recommend reading them in order so you can understand the back stories. It’s probably not necessary, but I don’t like it when I can tell there are details I should know, but again, maybe that’s just me!
As a general synopsis, each book focuses on one couple. So far, one character is brought to town due to the kindness of an elderly lady whom we read a good bit about, but never actually meet. She leaves little pink letters that lead people to Aspen Cove to find happiness, which in turn helps save the town from dying out as so many small towns do.
The first book, One Hundred Reasons, is about Sage, the nurse that takes care of Bea before she passed (the elderly woman mentioned above). She comes to town to take over Bea’s Bed and Breakfast and falls in love with Cannon (who has multiple family issues of his own to deal with). I love the theme of second chances, redemption, family values, and true love in this book. I need to be as open hearted and forgiving as Sage is!
The second book, One Hundred Heartbeats, is truly near and dear to my heart (no pun intended). This story is about Katie who has had a heart transplant and moved to Aspen Cove to take over Bea’s bakery where she too finds true love with Bowie. There’s a plot twist here and I won’t spoil it for you, but suffice it to say I was blown away. My niece has had 3 heart transplants and I can tell you that Mrs. Collins perfectly captured how Katie’s parents react to her moving far away from them. I made my sister read this book 😊
Finally, the third book, One Hundred Wishes, is about a former resident named Samantha who returns to Aspen Cove where she once lived years ago. She hopes to take a much-needed break from her famous singing career until she is scheduled to go back onstage in a short period of time. She falls in love with Dalton, who had served in prison on murder charges incurred when he saved a woman from an attack. I love how Mrs. Collins showed how hard life is for Dalton and yet how positive he stays even though he suffered such trials and tribulations due to no fault of his own. There was a good bit of suspense at the end of the book to keep me on the edge of my seat, but it was handled in such a way that we know at the that just desserts were eventually served, and everyone gets their HEA.
I would encourage you to give this series a try as you will fall in love with the town and characters. I know I just purchased the second collection which includes books 4-6 and hope that the other books are put into collections as well!

Loved Every Word

I really enjoyed all three books. Each one better than the previous one. I hated each one to end; but quickly got excited about the next! So so good.

Excellent Listening

The town of Aspen Cove is a friendly place where a stranger is only a friend you haven't met yet. This collection is the first three books of the series. I love this series. The books are well written. The narration is clear and easy to understand. I recommend this recording.

A collection full of love and new beginnings

These three books introduce you to a small town in Colorado called Aspen Cove.
Needing to breathe new life into the tired old town, a very special woman on her deathbed sets about doing so in her own quirky way. Altering many lives in the process.
I loved all three of these stories.
What I enjoyed most was in each book you became more involved with many of the Aspen Cove residents, following along with the their journeys in each story that I read.
An audiobook definitely worth listening along to and a series that I want to continue with. Enjoyed the narration.
I received an audiobook copy for my honest review.

Book 1 - One Hundred Reasons
Taking chances
Introduces us to Sage and Cannon.
Cannon not liking change and unhappy with his lot in life after a family tragedy many years ago, had him chucking in his career and bringing him back to Aspen Cove to deal with the fallout.
A nurse in the geriatric ward, Sage is too involved with her patients and each passing of the elderly really affects her.
She grows close to Bea Bennett from Aspen Cove and after her passing Sage is devastated.
Being gifted a Bed and Breakfast from Bea, Sage heads to Aspen Cove to investigate and decide what to do with her life.
Cannon and Sage’s first few meetings are far from ideal but over time their attraction is undeniable.
A lovely story introducing you to the town residents and how a special ladies actions, on her deathbed once again breathes life into a tired old town.
Looking forward to the next in series.

Book 2 - One Hundred Heartbeats
Live in the moment
Introduces us to Katie and Bowie.
Bowie after losing his fiancé and mum tragically a decade ago he fled Aspen Cove, not wanting to return. Now a decorated service man, an injury sees him coming home to the Cove to help at his fathers bait and tackle shop.
Katie, being gifted a bakery by Bea, flees Texas and comes to Aspen Cove and starts a new life.
Due to being very sick growing up Katie has a bucket list she is getting through which Bowie finds he wants to help her complete.
I enjoyed how their relationship evolved and the kind hearted little things Katie did to make the town a happier place to be.
Once the mystery of why she was given the bakery unfolded Katie fears that she may lose Bowie.
Looking forward to the next in series.

Book 3 - One Hundred Wishes
Seeing the real you
Introduces us to Samantha and Dalton.
Samantha White, famous blue haired Pop star called Indigo.

This is a collection of cozy reads, that were great to listen too.


Logan McAllister did a wonderful job narrating these 3 books by Kelly Collins. I was surprised at the way he gave each character their own voice. I broke my review down by the couples these 3 books are about.

Sage & Cannon

Sage comes to Aspen Cove because a sweet elderly lady named Mrs. Bee gave her a bread & breakfast when she past. At first, she doesn’t like this small town or the handsome man, Cannon, who wasn’t welcoming at first. However, turns out Sage needs Aspen Cove & Cannon as much as they need her. This book dealt with some hard issues. It made me cry & laugh.



Katie & Bowie

Katie came to Aspen Cove because she wanted independence & Mrs. Bee’s gift of a bakery when she past made this possible. Katie’s got an outgoing personality that shines throughout this story. Bowie comes home after a decade of running into danger & away from memories of his loses. When he meets Katie, he thinks it will be just a little fling. Too his surprise her bright personality manages to capture his heart. In the end, they both share their secrets, pain, & love. This story is full of surprises of both kind. It was a joy to listen too.



Samantha & Dalton

This story deals with past trauma of childhood abuse & a form of adult abuse. I like the story, but think a little more research on this part was needed. Samantha is a pop star in need of a break. She comes to Aspen Cove for this as she once lived here. Things have changed a bit of course. People have passed, moved, business closed, & her preteen crush is now a hot looking grown man with a secret. Her first night doesn’t go as planned & her neighbor accuses her of being an arson. Once the sheriff intervenes, things get straighten out & she soon comes to understand that her neighbor is actual her old crush, Dalton, all grown up. They quickly become a thing. Dalton never expected Samantha to stay or to fall in love, so telling her he was a convicted felon & why wasn’t in the cards. Then Samantha’s vacay is blown due to a fanatic fan & real life comes to call as both their secrets are out. The true adventure to love & trust begins. This one is a bit of a roller coaster. It has lows & highs, but ultimately ends on a beautiful note.

I look forward to the next book in this series.

Welcome to Aspen Cove

Wow!!! These were 3 beautiful books in the Aspen Cove Series.
One Hundred Reasons follows Sage and Cannon. Sage comes to town because she in inherited a B&B from her former patient. Cannon moved back to town to take care of family business and his dad after his mom passed. The way these two started and how they ended up.., it stole my heart.

Talking about hearts… leads us to Book 2

One Hundred Heartbeats
Follows Katie and Bowie.
Katie comes to town because she inherited the bakery from said patient in book 1. But she is keep a health secret from everyone in town.
Bowie(Cannon’s brother) is medically released from the military. Bowie hasn’t been home since his girlfriend died in the same crash that killed his mom.
Sparks fly fast with these two.
I don’t want to spoil anything you just have to read it to see how beautiful it is, and what secret she had, and the revelations that came.

Book 3
One Hundred Wishes
Follows Samantha aka Indigo and pop star and Dalton a ex con cook.
Yes you heard me correctly, Dalton had to do time for one 2 second action when he was defending a woman.
Samantha use to visit Aspen cove when she was little, and she came back to get away from the pop star life for just a little while.
Dalton is so kind and sweet, and that start off quickly as well.

All these books were excellent. I enjoyed the audio arc.
