Once again I read a book without realizing it's part of a series until I was way into it. And of course, I didn't start with the first book of the series but oh well!
I really liked this book. Yes, it's like reading a fairy-tale with the right dose of anguish, trials, the evil grandmother, the broken hero, the damsel - not so in distress - the golden child... But you know what? It was great, just what the doctor ordered in these trying times. Reading this book is like being cocooned in a fluffy blanket by the fireside, safe without a care in the world. It helps you keep an optimistic eye on the world and believe in the redeeming strength of family and love.
So now, I'll have to read the other books in the series.

Did not enjoy characters.
Did not enjoy her portrayal of CP. Did author do any current research into it?!?

I liked this one okay, but it definitely was not a favorite of the series. It didn't carry the same Sullivan vibe as the first four books. Both Hannah and Owen were new to the series, and there was so much information dumping in the first several chapters. While Sully and Helen were present, I missed seeing more of the familiar characters and secondary storylines. Sweet Noah and Romeo were my favorites.

Another Robyn Carr win, like how do these keep getting better!! I call her writing smooth like butter as this new book is just so good! I love that we are back in Sullivan's Crossing with some of the normal characters! You will just fall in in love with Noah- he is just an amazing little boy and then also Hannah and Owen! This story might bring tears as I was so happy they got the Happy Ending! Some twists and turns that you think you know what is going to happen but never do. This is another great book that can be read standalone but just read the other books beforehand in the series and you will love the place and other side characters even more!
Can't wait to see what Carr does next!
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Hat mir wieder gut gefallen, wie schon die anderen Sullivan's Crossing Bücher. Terese Plummer liest wie immer sehr gut und auch die Geschichte fand ich ok. Einen Stern Abzug gab es für die etwas seltsame "Vorgeschichte" von Hanna - die sagt zwei Hochzeiten kurz vor knapp ab und hat irgendwie wohl ein Bindungsproblem, aber mit Owen ist alles Friede-Freude-Eierkuchen? Naja... ein bissle "too good to be true"... Aber ist ja auch eine Romance und da habe ich kein Problem mit ein bissle rosa Wölkchen, ist mal auf alle Fälle besser als zuviel Drama! Trotzdem war die Geschichte rund um Noahs Großmutter durchaus spannend, auch wenn die dann am Ende auch ein bissle sehr "nur böse" ist- etwas mehr Grau-Nuancen wären gut gewesen. Die Figuren mag ich aber sehr, vor allem Noah- ich find's gut, dass er mal nicht so ein "perfektes" Kind ist, sondern kleine Einschränkungen hat - auch wenn er da natürlich superdupertoll damit klarkommt - das ist dann vielleicht schon wieder etwas zuviel. Trotzdem hat mich die Geschichte sehr gut unterhalten und ich werde definitiv auch den vierten Band noch hören, der fehlt mir noch in meiner "Sammlung".
