Book Description
Wren Waterstone isn’t just one of the most decorated equestrians in the world―she was also my best friend for as long as I can remember. Until she wasn’t.
Old habits die hard.
Seeing her every day is more challenging than I expected. She’s guarded. Wounded. And she looks at me like I’m the enemy. I need to know why. The more time we spend together, the more the lines between past and present blur―and we find our way back to one another. The only problem is, she’s got big dreams to chase.
And I only want to chase her.
I’ve loved this girl my entire life, and our time apart didn’t change that. I let Wren Waterstone get away once. Am I really going to make that mistake again?

My Thoughts
In a Heartbeat by Laura Pavlov, the fifth standalone installment in the Rosewood River series, is a sweet, heartfelt friends-to-lovers romance that cements the author’s status as the queen of small-town romance. Narrated beautifully in duet by Samantha Brentmoor and Alex Knox, this audio performance brings emotional depth and intimacy to the story, fully immersing the listener in the lives of the characters.
The narrative centers on Wren Waterstone, a highly decorated equestrian, and Axel Chadwick, the rugged cowboy who was once her best friend until she abruptly left two years ago. Now, Wren is back in Rosewood River, wounded and dealing with personal struggles, and fate intervenes when she is placed as a temp at Axel’s ranch. Axel, still hurt by her sudden departure, initially has no intention of hiring his ex-best-friend, but the desperation in Wren’s eyes convinces him to keep her on.
What follows is a beautiful story of two people finding their way back to a connection they never truly lost. Their relationship rebuilds quickly, moving from friends-to-enemies-to-lovers with a natural, engaging flow. The author masterfully weaves in flashbacks of their childhood friendship, highlighting the deep bond that makes their current dynamic—where he affectionately calls her "horsegirl" and she calls him "cowboy"—such an endearing part of their connection.
This book is filled with all the feels: moments of profound laughter, tear-jerking sweetness, and pure swoon-worthy romance. The emotional core of the story lies in Wren’s journey of healing and the reminder that sometimes looking back to the one person who was always constant can be the path forward. Axel, referred to as "my man" by the reviewer, is utterly amazing in his loyal, unwavering love for Wren.
The series' signature elements shine here, including the hysterical group chats among the leading ladies, warm family dinners, and the comforting small-town charm of Rosewood River. The way the title, In a Heartbeat, is woven into the narrative is sheer perfection, making each appearance a truly special moment. With the help of well-meaning matchmakers and a town that runs on holiday magic, Wren and Axel must navigate her big dreams of equestrian success and his simple desire to only chase her. It's a reminder that sometimes dreams change, and finding that forever connection is worth choosing again.
