Nash Roberts secretly writes fan-fiction scripts for his favorite TV show, He Spies, She Spies . That is, until a well-meaning friend submits one of the scripts to a contest and Nash wins. His secret is out and everyone in Little River is talking about him even more than when he stepped aside so his ex could run off with a country music star.

Actress Hallie Butler will do pretty much anything to save her struggling show, and that includes filming in the small town of Little River and doing photo-ops with the nerd who wrote the winning script. Except the writer is no nerd. He’s a sweet, hunky doctor embarrassed about his hobby.

As the two get to know each other, Hallie’s convinced she’s found her movie-worthy happily ever after, until a twisted online story comes between them. Will Nash learn from his past and fight for the woman he loves, or is Hallie better off if he walks away?

Nash Roberts is good friends with Bellamy (she got her story in Catching Coy), who secretly submitted one of Nash's fanfic scripts in a contest for the He Spies, She Spies TV show. His script is chosen as the winner and now the show is in town to film the episdode. Actress Hallie Butler doesn't know what she's going to do when her show He Spies, She Spies ends, but she'll think about that later. Right now Hallie will concentrate on filming the episode that may hopefully save the show from cancellation, and do promos with the guy who wrote the winning script, who she hopes he isn't "a total basement dweller". Hallie's surprised to find Nash is a handsome doctor and not some nerd with a altar to Mallory Rider.

I really liked Nash in the previous books and I'm happy he finally gets his story and a happy ending. Nothing like when a fake relationship turns real. I was all wrapped up in the blooming relationship between Nash and Hallie, and was completely surprised when the bad publicity came out and temporarily derailed their new relationship. "The course of true love never did run smooth" but I had hoped Nash would be an except to the rule. Thankfully the culprit is found and Nash and Callie find a solution that fits them so they can get their happily ever after.

This is a good addition to the Little River collection. It's a sweet romance that will make an afternoon fly by as you travel to small town of Little River. I received a complimentary copy but bought an ebook for my own collection.

Feel Good Clean Romance

This is a great addition to a fun series and I'm enjoying how characters appear in each book which helps me feel a strong sense of friendship and community. The characters are easy to like. Lots of good chemistry. Lots of good food too! I'm glad the relationship didn't stay fake for too long! The happily ever after ending felt good. I would say that each book can stand alone but you will probably be happier if you read them in order.

Hollywood meets Little River.
Loved this story of Nash! After first meeting him in Roxy’s Song, it was great to see this good guy get his own story. When Roxy broke up with Nash, she said there was something missing between them. They made good friends, but that something ... more... was not there. Nash soon understands what Roxy meant when his ‘fake’ relationship with Hallie becomes all too real. But when a firestorm of bad publicity hits, the difference between their lifestyles grows more apparent. Will they be able to find a way to make Big Hollywood and Little River mesh?
Excited for more books in this series!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was my first book I've read in the "Love in Little River" series. I really enjoyed meeting the characters, and even though I hadn't read the other books where it sounds like I would have met some of them, I was able to follow the story without any problem. This has a fun story line for Nash and Hallie. I'll be looking for more books by this author.

Can the man who fixes every relationship by letting her go, hold onto the one woman who doesn't need fixing? Dr. Nash Roberts has dated his fair share of amazing women who were all right for someone else. In his spare time, he writes fan fiction for his favorite t.v. show, He Spies, She Spies while practicing for the day he can write the book he dreams of.

Can the woman who let refused the man everyone ships, hold onto the one man who brings her sparks? Hallie is the heroine of the show and when Nash wins the contest for best script for a new episode the chemistry, and flirting starts right away. Hallie is intrigued by this doctor who knew enough about the show to write one of the best scripts she has seen.

This new story in Little River is a sweet romance. It is an easy read, perfect for a relaxing by the fire and eating chocolate type of night. The characters are spot on with consistency in Nash from the previous stories and fresh perspectives with Hallie. I loved reading this addition to the Love in Little River books. Each one has been a favorite of mine. Raneé S. Clark is masterful in creating the world of Little River that would be so easy to live in.

If you want a fun, easy to read,clean romance book then pick this one up! Ranee S. Clark added another great book to the Little River series. I'll be honest, the first couple chapters I wasn't quite sure about Hallie and if she was worth Nash's time, but in the end I loved the couple. Great characters that are relatable. You feel as if you are at the diner with them or eating in the truck. You feel the emotions that Nash goes through as he discovers his feelings for Hallie and he grows more confident in his writing abilities. What's not to love about this guy? A doctor, smart, talented writer and caring all in one. On top of two great characters Clark brought back a couple of our other favorites such as Bellamy and Roxy. I love every page with Bellamy because she helps Nash see reason, she pushes him to be the man worthy of Hallie's love.

This is a quick story that gives you the perfect amount of time to fall in love with the characters. I enjoyed "Hallie's Hero" the latest addition to the Little River series that I absolutely love. Who wouldn't want to go to this town to find love? I can't wait for Ranee S. Clark's next addition to the series.

So happy Nash got his story. In the begining I was a little nervous because it seemed like the story would be for the h choose between 1 of two guys. Those always makes me nervous, lol, since if the author doesn't do write it well I feel bad for the one that "looses". However, Ranee S. Clark did well and the romance and whole story felt complete and satisfying. This was apart of a series but I think you could still enjoy this story if you haven't read the other ones first. The characters, inluding the secondary characters, are fun, likeable & relatable. Also, the antagonist is appropriately unlikeable! I love visitng Little River. This is a fun & light hearted read without being fluff. It still is a solid story with a nice arc and good dialogue. I can't wait for the next title in this series.

This book was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't too interested in it based off the description on the back but it's by Ranee Clark and I usually like her books so I decided to give it a chance. It was really cute, much better than I expected. The only thing I didn't like was the break up scene. I didn't feel like it fit. In my opinion there was not a reason for them to break up. It was almost like the author threw it in there to fit the stereotype that every romance novel couple has to break up and then get back together.

This is a clean, sweet romance. I was glad to read Nash's story since he really is a good guy though he was "the wrong guy" in the earlier book. I liked him all along. But I was glad he got his chance for a happily ever after and that it was full of spark and fun.

I felt like perhaps the story could have been a little more developed by making it a little longer. Not too much but a little.

I enjoy fake relationship stories but was glad that it didn't stay fake too long.

No sex, language or violence

This is a cute addition to the series. Nash is a sweetie, and I loved his chemistry with Hallie. I feel like maybe Bellamy, his friend, took over the book a little bit too much, but all in all, it was fun watching Hallie and Nash figure things out. Their flirting was really fun to read, and the epilogue is really adorable.
I read an ARC provided by the author. All opinions are my own.

I was so excited to see that this one was Nash's story. I've loved this series. Sadly, this one fell a little flat for me. I still love the beautiful, idyllic setting of Little River and the characters. I am very much looking forward to the next one!

Found a New Author

Very much enjoyed Ranee S. Clark's Little River series. All genuine and endearing characters. My favorite is June's forever but Catching Coy runs neck and neck. Read her books!

I was excited to hear this one was about Nash, but it ended up being my least favorite of the series. I just wasn't feelin' it between the main characters. But it was a quick, fun read.
