A woman who wants to leave.
A man who has to stay.
And a love that won’t be denied…

Nurse Sage Nichols’ life isn’t going as planned. When a favorite patient passes away, Sage abandons her post for a few minutes longer than planned — and just like that, she’s without a job and a paycheck.

But Sage’s patient left her a parting gift: a creaky bed-and-breakfast in the heart of the Rockies. So, determined to sell the rundown property and return to Denver for a fresh start, Sage heads north to the mountains.

When Cannon Bishop’s mother died, he gave up his dreams of leaving Aspen Cove for good and returned 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.

Recruited by the local doctor, Sage finds herself more involved in small town life than she intended. But the warm welcome she receives from the locals does not extend to the man next door.

Then trust sprouts unexpectedly between them and when Sage’s plan to return to Denver falls through, she is left wondering if her future might lie in Aspen Cove after all.

Sometimes love gets in the way of the best laid plans…

A Heartwarming Romance in Aspen Cove
One Hundred Reasons is a heartwarming romance story that takes place in the small town of Aspen Cove. A place where: “Aspen Cove takes care of it's own.”Sage Nichols is a nurse in the Geriatric Dept. of a hospital. Sage is such a caring person that each of her elderly patients mean so much to her. Her favorite patient is an elderly lady named Bea. She suffers from serious heart problems. Sage frequently brings her stationary. This is so she can write her many letters to all the people she cares about in her hometown of Aspen Cove. Sage is so shocked one day when she enters Bea's hospital room to find that she is gone. She has a melt down and is unable to finish her shift. As a result her boss places her on unpaid leave. Her crime was caring too much. Bea had cared for Sage, too. She actually left her a Bed & Breakfast Inn in Aspen Cove. Sage packs her car with a few belongings, along with her beloved three legged dog named Otis. She heads to Aspen Cove, never imaging that small town would make all her wishes come true. Including the man of her dreams would be one surly bar owner, that has a one-eyed cat named Mike, a cantankerous & alcoholic dad, and was her next door neighbor. The man's name is Cannon Bishop. Cannon had no idea that big changes were on there way. Bea had known what she was doing by leading Sage to this small town.This is the first book I have read by Kelly Collins. I really liked her writing and look forward to reading the next book in the series: ONE HUNDRED HEARTBEATS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming Contemporary Romance with Strong Characters & Idealiic Setting
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018

One Hundred Reasons, by Kelly Collins, is a contemporary romance with strong characters in an ideallic setting. I was hooked in to the story of Sage, a nurse working the night shift in a geriatric hospital ward - from the first chapter. This was surprising to me because modern, real-world stories don’t often draw me in; my preferred genres are usually fantastical or historical in nature.

But perhaps what got me to keep turning the pages was the strength of this story’s characters; Sage is a fiercely independent young woman who obviously cares for others both on and off the job, but struggles to understand and express her own emotions. When her favorite patient, Bea, dies - Sage is left an unexpected gift from her - the ownership to a Bed and Breakfast in the small mountain town of Aspen Cove. Sage had heard stories of Aspen Cove from Bea in the hospital, but never knew it was a place that actually existed.

The story that unfolds could easily be imagined as a Hallmark Movie; Sage visits Aspen Cove and meets a single young man named Cannon who is described as both good looking and emotionally unavailable. Of course, complicated feelings ensue - and both young protagonists will need to deal with their mixed emotions, including their developing love for each other. Sage also needs to decide what to do with the business that she has inherited, and whether or not she will stay in Aspen Cove. Will she choose her practical career in the city? Or will she follow her heart?

In the end, this is a romance novel that, while predictable as any Hallmark Movie, is still an enjoyable read. Collins made me care about her characters enough to finish the book to the last page - even though I already knew it would have the “happy ending.” I also enjoyed the ideallic, mountain setting of Aspen Cove; it’s the kind of place that everyone would like to visit, and some people will want to stay. Undoubtedly, many fans of contemporary romance will be happy to pick up this book, and look forward to their next trip to Aspen Cove.

I have read it several times it’s THAT good. I was shocked I hadn’t given a review. It is well written. The author draws you into the story in the first couple of pages. I had purchased the Audible which is good. ( I listen while I clean, cook, whatever) This is a really good series and this is an excellent book to start!

5.0 out of 5 stars A life changing gift
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2022

I love a small-town story where the citizens care for and take care of each other. This has all the characters and situations to make a good story. Having two people find love in this atmosphere makes their story that much sweeter.

When Sage goes in for her night shift in the geriatric ward and finds her favorite patient she has grown close to has died her grief is so much that she is away from her station for thirty minutes. She loses her job because her boss thinks she isn't suited to work in geriatrics. When she learns that patient has left her a bed and breakfast in a small mountain town. Her sister convinces her to visit and see what's there. Her first impression isn't that great when see gets punched in the face before she even gets through the front door of her house. She starts setting time lines for when she will leave but something always comes up to push the timeline.

Cannon has been working days in the bait shop and nights in the bar while wrangling his alcoholic father. He has no life and sees no future because he can't see his situation changing. When he meets fiery Sage he doesn't want to be attacked to her because he thinks he has nothing to give and can't risk his heart.

This was heartwarming and inspirational. I loved the way things worked out for Cannon and Sage. I have hope that his brother Bowie will find love as well. I will be reading his story next.

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.

This story was unexpected. It starts with a death in Sage’s life that propelled her on the biggest adventure of her life.

She found the love of a good man and love for a small town that she never expected to be happy in.

This book was well written, is lower on the steam level bug you don’t miss all the descriptive details because the author still makes you believe in the couples love and affection for each other.

I definitely plan to read more of this series over time!

I don’t quite know what to say. I loved this so much, but my brain refuses to cooperate with me and give me the processing capability to come up with more than: it’s so sweet, and so precious, and so a-freakin-dorable! I love reading small town books for the sense of community and family; a slice of classic Americana peopled with a cast of quirky characters that feel like your own relatives and friends. Be prepared for the full emotional roller-coaster, you're about to be taken for a ride because there will be laughter, there will be tears, there will be "squee"s and there will be "awe"s. I loved watching Sage and Cannon grow past their first impressions and all the baggage they’re carrying. I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories from Aspen Cove.

I have received an ARC of 'One Hundred Reasons' by Kelly Collins from Kindle Press via Kindle Scout.
'One Hundred Reasons' is a contemporary romance with mostly believable characters that one can empathize with. Sage, a fiercely independent young nurse working the night shift in a geriatric hospital ward, truly cares for her patients, but her own emotions are in cold storage. Then her favorite patient, Bea, dies, leaving Sage the ownership to a Bed and Breakfast in a small mountain town called Aspen Cove.
Sage visits Aspen Cove as the new owner of the Bed and Breakfast and meets the dashing and handsome Cannon, who is notorious for giving ladies the cold shoulder. Naturally, sparks fly when they meet and they are mutually attracted. So what happens in the end? And how?
As this is a romance novel, the end is predictable, but the telling is interesting, and the word pictures of Aspen Cove seem realistic.

4.0 out of 5 stars sweet small town romance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 31, 2023

This is a reread for me. This is the series that started my love of small town romance. When one of Sage’s favourite patients dies it becomes apparent that she is in the wrong job and when the patient Bea leaves her a B&B in Aspen Cove, Sage decides to go see why Bea loved the small town so much. At first she can’t see the appeal and this isn’t helped when she finds her new neighbours fighting. She assumes that Cannon is in the wrong as he his fighting with his father Ben, but it turns out there is more going on than meets the eye. It turns out that Aspen Cove looks out for it’s own and Sage sees this when she is helped by the local Doctor and in how her new friend Kate is treated. When Sage gets to know Cannon she realises why everyone was telling her that he is a good man. The more time they spend together the closer they become (with a little heat thrown in), but then a misunderstanding gets in their way. It’s a good job Sage has decided she is staying in town and sets out to set Cannon straight. This was a great introduction to the series and I loved that the heart of the series was Bea’s legacy. Cannon was sad, lonely, loyal, passionate and kind. Sage had a beautiful heart, fire and brought light in to so many lives.
