Oh, I loved this book; hmm do I say that about every Robyn Carr book??
LMAO maybe I do. But it doesn’t make it any less true.
This book had a lot of emotional elements and it just adds to the story. We get our past characters and I never feel like I miss them with each book that comes out. So we never miss out on what is going on. I love this!!

This book had Dakota he is a newcomer to town so he is sought after by a lot of the single women in the town. One gets a little out of hand…..

Overall a great addition to the series I neeeeed more. :)

Love Love Therese Plummer’s performance in every book she does, but I just have a soft spot for the way she narrates Robyn’s books.

Oh this book!!!! I NEVER cry at books and this one had me struggling. The surprise is that what I was emotional about wasn't even the main couple. What a Beautiful story! This family has stole my heart.
Dakota and Sid are another couple that were looking for something and they found it in each other. I loved that. What I am really enjoying about this series is that even though this is Dakota's book, it's only really half about him. We still get a complete story of what is going on with everyone else in the family and it's so perfect. Another book where Robyn Carr stole my heart with small town life!

As always the narration is PERFECT. Therese Plummer is my #1 favorite narrator. You would think that the Robyn Carr series would start to blend together since the narration is the same but for me it doesn't. That shows that she is amazing at her craft!

I’ve read this series from the first book and it’s a great story of a family I feel I could be friends with. I felt this storyline was a little more contrived than the last two...forcing things to happen rather than just letting them happen naturally. I would have given it 3 and a half stars if that was an option. It’s a light, easy read and fun to keep up with the characters, but wish it went a little deeper with them and wasn’t so obvious.

This is the first Sullivan’s Crossing book I’ve read & I LOVE it! I didn’t want it to end and wish they would make all of the books into a series on tv. I didn’t realize that there were books before and after it, so I’m now looking to read those as well. I loved getting to know the Jones siblings, and felt all sorts of emotions throughout the whole book. What an adventure, I loved the ending but with it didn’t end.

This was a really solid entry into the series. The more I get to know these characters, the more I fall in love with them and root for them. I do feel like maybe a little too much is going on in this book...which made each piece a little less impactful than if it got more focus in it's own book...but it was all still very good.

Love the characters, but not one of the better ones in the series.
