If you’re a fan of this series, the Acknowledgement will make you sad. But like any family, you can visit them again and again. If have a time where you need a book with a sense of family or just need a good laugh, this series will do that for you.
Seamus O’Brien shows the reader what we love about this series. You may have the words “rude” and “crude” come to mind as we get to know him but he will always get you to laugh. Alegria “Allie” Mendes doesn’t want to deal with family right now.
There are some nationalities where food brings a family together. And I get that sense here – I can almost smell the food that the O’Brien’s love to cook already. You feel as if you are a part of family gatherings watching all the back and forth banter that siblings have. Some get very emotional and you will see the emotions play out throughout this story – especially as you get toward the end. As you get to that very last word you’ll have a smile but it will be bittersweet. But unless something happens to my library, I can revisit anytime.
Some characters don’t catch you in the right way when you’re first introduced to them but I hope you’ll give Seamus a chance. He’s rough around the edges but that’s part of who he is. And if you like the other members of the O’Brien family, what’s not to love. Allie is a great complement to Seamus – they are total opposites. It was fun to watch her blossom.
This is a series that you could read out of order since they all seem to be a standalone but if you want to really get to know the family at some point you’ll want to make sure and read all the books. It’s also a great introduction to the author if you’ve never read her work before. And once you finish with the O’Brien’s make sure to check out what else Ms. Robson has to offer.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
