I was perusing Lauren Brooke’s Heartland series the other day, and I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of her book titles are very close to or exactly the same as song titles! I wonder if it’s a coincidence… or maybe the series is a secret shout-out to her favorite playlist!
Here are some of her books:
