REVIEW: Unconventional Hearts (Plum Valley Cowboys #3) by Emmy Sanders

Review:

"You've always loved big, wildly, fiercely, despite what others thought. So it doesn’t surprise me that you have enough love in that heart of yours for two.”

I can’t put into words how perfect Emmy’s stories are. She writes these amazing stories that are beautiful, kind, patient, and tender. They flow so well, and they make you swoon, smile, and feel completely at peace.

You can read the novels on their own, but I don’t recommend it. They are a family, and progressively knowing them through each novel is part of what makes each story so incredible. This story about Wil is a case in point, we’ve seen him grow up, love his family so incredibly, and now, with his own story, his love, it’s amazing. Not to mention getting to see the people from previous stories will make you happy all over again.

This family, the people of Plum Valley, are special. As is this fascinating triad. They are all wonderful as their own people and their coming together was perfect. Their dynamic, their relationships with each other, and the progression - it was exceptional, and of course, the representation of both a poly relationship and someone asexual was pretty great to see.

I'm so glad this series isn't over yet, because I can't bear to part with Plum Valley just yet.

Stars: 5

Synopsis:

One summer. Three men. The proposal that ropes them together.

Cooper
I came to Texas with a single goal: to find my bio-dad before the end of summer. Instead, I found Will, a spitfire of a man with sharp blue eyes and a swoon-worthy drawl. When he proposes adding benefits to our newfound friendship, I’m all in.

The problem? I’m smitten. With not one, but two men. Because Will has a friend that makes me smile like no other. My time in Plum Valley is coming to an end, but if I’m not careful, I’ll be leaving my heart behind when I go.

Will
Spending summer break back home with my best friend was not supposed to be complicated. But then Tru and I kissed, and for the first time, I don’t know where we stand. Now Cooper, the new ranch hand, is mixed up in matters, and I’m even less sure of what it all means.

The three of us fit together effortlessly, but I worry it’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. I don’t know how to get out of this tangled mess, and truth be told, I’m not sure I want to.

Tru
To me, it’s simple. Will and I are exploring what it means to go from friends to more. But as an asexual man, there are certain activities I’m uninterested in. Will likes Cooper, and Cooper is all about Will. And me? I have no problem sharing.

But as summer ticks down, I learn a few lessons. One, I feel more at home in Plum Valley than anywhere else. Two, I’ve been harboring major feelings for Will. And three, Cooper’s infectious optimism isn’t something I’m ready to part with.

Time’s almost up. Yet I’m nowhere near ready to say goodbye.

Unconventional Hearts is a lighthearted poly romance between a Southern charmer with a hero complex, a blunt-as-can-be sweetheart who doesn’t need saving, and a lovable golden retriever of a man who has a song for every occasion. There is no cheating and one very HEA. It’s book 3 in the Plum Valley Cowboys series but can be read as a standalone.
