Flowers in December Trilogy Box Set by Jane Suen
Stars- 4

I enjoyed this trilogy. For my individual reviews of each book, see below. Happy Reading!

Flowers in December by Jane Suen
Stars: 4

I love how relatable Connor is to the reader. He is in the middle of grieving, but yet, he also is very reflective. He knows he has not done everything correct in life, but he very much trying to figure it all out. Other than Connor, I really enjoyed reading about Tom. I loved the way Jane Suen described him, and Connor’s interactions with Tom.
This story was an easy, short read with relatable characters and situations. However, I did feel that this story felt like a great beginning, and I wanted to know more from where the story actually ended. The ending was good, but I just wanted to know more of how his life ended up.

Coming Home by Jane Suen
Stars: 4

This story picks up four months after the first book (Flowers in December) ends. Our characters go through so many changes from the first book. These characters continue on their journey of life dealing with change, growth, grief, and love. I loved reading more about our characters and meeting others. I have to admit that I am a bit upset with Connor, and his failure to communicate with loved ones. I was happy to read more about these characters!

Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen
Stars-4

I was excited for this story! Jane Suen did a wonderful job with these characters. They have their highs and lows, but they keep going. I felt that this story focused a lot on moving forward and finding your way. This was a good quick story. I enjoyed this trilogy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a trilogy about grief, hope, and love. There was a lot of description rather than conversation, and it being a trilogy, a lot of explanation that could have been engineered and embedded more subtly, especially since I read all three books in one go. Nevertheless, this was a charming story, there are multiple storylines that all had satisfactory conclusions, and I enjoyed the character development. An easy, emotional read.

The Flowers In December Box Trilogy by Jane Suen contains Flowers in December (Book #1), Coming Home (Book #2), and Second Chance (Book #3). I enjoyed every one of these books and I couldn’t put them down. This author is well written and i am always pulled into the story’s very quickly and I felt like I was right there with these characters living their everyday lives right beside them because this author really did bring them life. I liked them even from page one and was rooting for them even when times were getting tough.. These three stories follow Mary Ann and Connor and with each book comes new uphill battles and i liked every minute of it.. I am so looking forward to reading more by this author in the future and i would recommend this to a friend.
Happy Reading!

by Jane Suen

I am so glad to see these books are now being sold as set. This trilogy was such an amazing read. It was full of wonderful characters that I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know. There are tangible feelings in the words told in these books, there is grief, hope, love and so many more emotions to feel when you read these books. You really should read these in order for a better understanding and more enjoyable experience. Jane Suen’s writing style is truly captivating. I cannot say enough wonderful things about all three of these stories except to say I highly recommend this set of books you will not regret it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers in December gives us all three of Jane Suen’s books in the series – Flowers in December, Coming Home and Second Chance. I love when the writers give us a treat and combine their series in sets, it gives us pages and pages and hours upon hours of pleasure. You only notice that the time has passed when you come up for air!
Flowers in December is the opening act and it introduces us to Connor who has just lost his mother and he is struggling hard with his loss. It also introduces us to Tom, Connor’s mother’s orange tabby, a character you will not forget … and then there is Mary Ann …Flowers in December is a profound journey of grief and how we deal with it and the writer takes care of Connor and how she tells his story. What makes it even more profound is that Connor is alone, utterly alone; he has no one to come home to …
Coming Home takes place four months after the end of Flowers in December when Connor ‘comes home’ for holidays. I was delighted to meet up with Connor, Tom (the orange tabby of Connor’s diseased mother) … and Mary Ann! Is it going to be the second chance for Connor who is still grieving his mother … The writer has given us a story filled with hope and healing and forgiveness … it is also a story of possibility of a Christmas miracle! I read the story when the holiday season was long gone and the writer’s words took me back to the holiday season when everyone hopes for something special (and someone special)! And you should read the first book before you jump into this one; you will enjoy the ride much more! The writer gives us also the delight of meeting Ron and Norma and Alana again … Close your eyes and you will wonder down the streets of the town with them while getting lost in your imagination! (I pictured the small town in California that I lived in for some years when picturing the small town that the writer has brought us to!)
And then we have the conclusion – Second Chance. We are back with Connor and Mary Ann and Connor’s mother’s cat Tom. Connor is back to stay and he has finally acknowledged that it was a grave mistake to leave Mary Ann and he is going to go out on a limb to make her part of his and Tom’s life, again … from scrambled eggs to finger licking grilled cheese … If you love second chances stories then this series is the one to go to and you will be keeping your fingers crossed for Connor and Mary Ann until they cramp!

Out Of The ShadowsOut Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a new author for me, and when I read the synopsis and reviews I knew I had to read it. Out Of The Shadows is written from Dane’s point of view. Which is normally not the POV you’re used to, and tells his story of living with an abusive wife who uses their son against him. I really loved this book as you don’t hear about men going through this very often, like you do women. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard at a book before. Theresa absolutely gives you ALL THE EMOTIONS. This story is well written and the characters are amazing. I can’t wait to read ANYTHING Theresa writes!

I loved reading these stories! The Flowers In December trilogy was absolutely amazing! I loved how well the words flowed off the pages, and the imagery the author was able to create. Jane Suen was able to keep me enthralled throughout the whole thing! I loved watching how Conner’s and Mary Ann’s relationship developed throughout all three novels, their trials and love for each other. Suen was able to capture the life of a small town perfectly. This series kept me enthralled, and I highly recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this box set of Jane Suen’s ‘Flowers in December Trilogy’, containing the complete trilogy, ‘Flowers in December’, ‘Coming Home, and ‘Second Chance’. The stories follow the romance between Connor Norton and Mary Ann and the obstacles they faced. In the first book a grieving Connor returns to his small hometown which he has not visited for twenty years and he’s only back now because his mother has died. Connor now finds himself alone with only his elderly tabby cat Tom for company and then he meets Mary Ann whilst buying flowers. In ‘Coming Home’, it’s a Christmas story and Connor is back visiting his childhood home and meets Alana the estranged daughter of his next door neighbour but he also can’t forget Mary Ann. All three of them come together over a magical Christmas. In the final story, ‘Second Chance’, florist Mary Ann is happy running her successful flower shop but is still thinking of the grieving man she met four months ago when he came into her shop for flowers for his mother’s funeral, however she’s not seen Connor since. Then he returns leaving his job and his city life behind him and wanting to start a new life with Mary Ann who has moved on, however a well timed snowstorm brings the couple together giving Connor and Mary Ann a second chance.
This trilogy is a “clean and wholesome, small-town sweet romance”, which is best read as a series and in order. I loved the storyline and the characters all set in a lovely small town setting. The details that author Jane Suen includes made the place and the people come alive for me. I was fully immersed in the story and was pleased I could continue the series and I read the books one after the other. I found I went on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this heart warming trilogy and I was cheering the main characters on hoping that Connor and Mary Ann would have a ‘happy ever after’ especially as their chemistry sizzled off the page.
I recommend this trilogy by Jane Suen and I’m looking forward to reading more by this author.

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance by Jane Suen was filled with emotion. Book one had me full of sadness, two opened up a feeling of hope for me, and three filled me with joy. These books were easy to read and follow.

Flowers in December Trilogy compelling and heartfelt trilogy.
Flowers In December a read that will move you. This is a heartfelt and compelling read about love, loss and grief and depending on your relationship with your own parents depending on how much you will get out of this book as we get to hear the story of Connor Norton a young man who goes on a surprising journey of self-discovery. The only fault I found with this was that I could have read so man more pages. Each of the character had their own part of the story to tell, even the tom cat had his part to play. Just like the other works I have read by this author a very enjoyable read overall.
Coming Home a read that will welcome you home. This a great story that even though has elements of Christmas it doesn’t need to read at that time of year. This is such a powerful story and deals with matters that not all find easy to read, the way the author manages to deal with it so gracefully in such a short number of pages will surprise you.
Second Chance a read that will bring flowers to your life. The emotions you will see in this story are so strong that they are palpable, you can almost taste the emotion. This is a compelling story and shows us what a truly amazing writer Jane Suen is.

I cried. A lot while reading this book. And it was such a well written book too. The topic is one that isn’t talked about; you don’t hear about women abusing men. Dane’s wife is more than cruel in many ways. Especially since she uses their son against Dane. This book is a real eye opener. And its pretty amazing. Just wish it was a bit longer.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen contains the books Flowers in December, Coming Home, and Second Chance. This is a wonderful series and it is great to get it all in one set together. Flowers in December by Jane Suen is an honest, heartfelt story. Connor returns home after the death of his mother to get everything in order. He starts contemplating his life and the decisions he has made in his life. This hit home for me since I have lost a parent. There are a lot of steps that come with the loss of a close family member. As we age many of us question our decisions and where we are in life and this beautiful book caught all of that. I laughed and I teared up while reading. This book ran me through a range of emotions because of being honest and truthful.
Coming Home by Jane Suen is the sequel to Flowers in December. The story picks up with Connor returning to his childhood home for the holidays after the passing of his mother. I recommend reading the first book because it goes into the background and the characters before delving into this story. This is an emotional read and proves it is good to return home sometimes. Connor is great and I like that he is dealing with loss but also moving on with his life. Mary Ann, Dottie, and Alana are great also. I really like the story and that there were some twists to break away from the expected. The book is a quick read and relatively short but impactful.
Second Chance by Jane Suen is the third and final book in The Flowers in December Trilogy. This can be read as a standalone but I think it better enjoyed if read with the other two books. Connor and Mary Ann had parted ways but Connor is back in town. Will Mary Ann allow Connor back into her life. This is happily ever after but the two have to go over some obstacles to get there. This is a sweet small-town romance that will have you rooting for the couple to find their path together. I enjoyed the characters and the progression of their story over the course of the series.

A KISS BENEATH A STRAWBERRY MOON (Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock 'N Sweet Romance 3)A KISS BENEATH A STRAWBERRY MOON by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a beautiful story about a singer Drew Kendall and a violinist star Marrielle McKinnon whose stories come together as one after sharing a kiss under the strawberry moon. Their future seems perfect but they’re headed in two different directions as she’s headed for the moon in Hollywood as he’s finishing his education but going into teaching.
After getting into it with his family, Drew’s plans change drastically as he has to drop out of college and heads to the army instead. After being injured, he doesn’t want to turn to Marrielle, afraid he’d burden her but can their love survive?
What I love about this story is it gives you hope for what love can be despite difficult terrains, twists and turns. I love how the characters find their way back to one another and find love in the darkest of times. It makes you believe if you’re not already personally attached in real life in love again and it’s worth it. This book shows the innocence of what love can be. Great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Kiss Beneath a Strawberry Moon is the 3rd book in the Daydreams & Dragonflies series by Tamara Ferguson. It is a sweet romance, like most of her novels. I love reading them because they are quick and provide the warm fuzzies, but I felt this one ended too abruptly. This book follows the story of Marielle and Drew, and their love at first sight. Marielle is a singer, and Drew is a composer, both attending a musical summer camp. It would seem things would work out perfectly, but they came from different worlds. Marielle is a rising star, about to embark on a wonderful adventure. Drew is torn between going to college like his father wants, and chasing his dream of composing. After a falling out with his dad, Drew enlists in the military and is gone for years, while Marielle goes on tour. They are torn apart by the circumstances, and while I was happy with the ending, it was too soon. I wanted more details and for the story to continue.

This was a sweet, quick read. I really liked Marielle and Drew. This is 3rd in the series and i didn’t feel lost but i will go back and read the first two as this was a great story.
They’re both attending music camp in one capacity or another, and they didn’t hit it off right away and later learn it was due to nerves of attraction.
As we move along in their lives, Drew goes to war and is injured and drops contact. But Marielle isn’t taking silence as an answer.
These two were great and I felt i could be friends with everyone in this story.

A lovely heartwarming sweet romance by Tamara Ferguson, “Vocalist Marielle McKinnon and composer Drew Kendall find love one magical summer after a Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon”
Set in Dragonfly Pointe, the future for Marielle and Drew is full of promise having met and fallen in love over the summer however their plans change when Drew has to drop out of college due to family problems and decides to enlist. Sadly Drew gets injured whilst on active duty and not wanting to be a burden on Marielle refuses to contact her which leaves Marielle thinking he has forgotten about her, will their love survive? No spoilers, but the book does have a happy ending as Tamara’s books tend to have.
I loved this story and fell in love with the main characters and found the problems they had to face were very realistic. The author always fills her books full of details which makes you feel like your there with the characters. I could not put this book down and found it was a lovely romantic read.

A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon by Tamara Ferguson was so good, and super sweet! It wasn’t at all what I was expecting to read after reading the synopsis, but I wasn’t disappointed! It was better than I originally thought it was going to be. It was a super quick read as well, the novel isn’t long at all. I got swept up in Marielle and Drew’s whirlwind romance throughout the span of 6 very quick years. I couldn’t put it down at all until I finished it. This is the first story I’ve read by Ferguson and I can’t wait to read more!

A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon is the third book in the Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance Series by Tamara Ferguson. I have to say that Tamara is one of my go to authors. I have never read a book I didn’t like from her and this is one of my favorite series. Marielle and Drew’s story grabbed me from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the last. Young love that goes through adversity is a true test. This book gave me all the feels. The ups and down, relatable characters and and music theme in the background gave this book just the right amount of angst and heartache backed up by heartwarming charm. I am looking forward to reading more books from Ms. Ferguson in the near future.

Suen does a magical job with this trilogy. If you like a good heartfelt, emotional journey, you will want to add this box set in its entirety to your library. These characters are written extremely well and written in such a way that although the books can stand on their own they are understood more fully and appreciated far greater if read in series order. From start to finish, this story travels the spectrum of relationships and love and rings true to the reader. I wholeheartedly recommend this box set and truly believe Suen is a one-click author.

The Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen is a heartwarming trilogy of love, family and second chances.
All of these books are so sweet. They are easy to read with characters that you can’t help but love. All three books have a steady pace that allows you, as the reader to lose yourself for a few hours.
Conner and Mary-Ann’s story is emotional and heartwarming. You can see the struggle Conner goes through and you can clearly see the journey both characters undertake.
This is a great series and is one that I enjoyed. It was different from the other work I had read by this author and for me would be a great way to introduce yourself to her work, if you aren’t familiar with it already.

This book is one of the sweetest stories I have read in a long time. To think that an innocent kiss under a Strawberry Moon is the start of a relationship. Tamara Ferguson is one of my favorite authors. Her characters are simple but complex at the same time.Within her story the plot line keeps your interest and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. I personally went on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I would keep a box of Kleenex handy while reading this story. Vocalist Marielle McKinnon and composer Drew have shared a sweet innocent kiss under a Strawberry Moon. Their love story is going strong. Their careers are taken off, until something happened with Drew’s family. That is when their story starts taking a realistic side trip. Drew enlists and gets injured in Iraq.

Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen
Four Stars

Flowers in December is a self enlightening story by Jane Suen. I have read three or four books by Ms. Suen, but I have to say I think this my favorite so far. This story has a personal element for me, having lost my grandmother this last year. This short story was beautifully written and very emotional. This book had me from the first page to the last. Conner Norton’s struggle with grief is prominent in this story as he returns to his hometown town for his mother’s funeral. After the funeral he stays to get his family affairs in order, which brings on self reflection. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster, I definitely needed my box of tissues. Conner’s strength of character made this story flow. I highly recommend this book.

Coming Home by Jane Suen

Coming Home: The Sequel To Flowers in December by Jane Suen. This is the continuation of Connor’s story as he comes home for Christmas. This book could be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend that you read it in order to get the full story. This is a feel good romance full of ups and downs. I was hooked on the very first page and couldn’t put it down until the last. The ups and downs gave me all the feels and I truly enjoyed this story. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

Second Chance: The Conclusion of the Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen

Second Chance is the last book in the Flowers in December Trilogy and the book I have been waiting for. I have enjoyed the whole series but this book really tied things up. This book could be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend this series in order. Conner and Mary Ann’s story was sweet and just what I needed after the holidays. Jane Suen does a great job with the short HEA stories that make you feel good reading. I look forward to seeing what she has in store for us next.

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a well written book everyone should give a chance.

Dane has a horrific secret. Not only is he ashamed, he knows that exposing his secret comes with great risk. Unfortunately, he can’t keep his secret anymore and he may lose the very person he was protecting because of it.

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this book but it was such a deep story. This book was very well written given the subject matter. It really shed light on the lack of resources for men who are victims of domestic violence. It’s really easy to forget that women aren’t the only victims and this book did a great job addressing such a difficult subject. I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Kiss Beneath A Strawberry Moon is a wonderful sweet romance story by Tamara Ferguson. My usual genre is romance that is a bit more dirty but I have really become a fan of Tamara Ferguson’s sweet romances set in Dragonfly Pointe.
As with many of the others that I have read this is not a full length novel but Ferguson packs so much into her stories that you are not left wanting.
In this book Marielle, an aspiring singer, meets Drew, an up and coming songwriter at a summer camp for aspiring musicians. Both have wonderful futures ahead of them. Marielle is destined to become a huge star and Drew wants to go to college and then into teaching. Both are devoted to each other and are determined to spend their lives together but fate steps in the way. A family disagreement causes Drew to drop out of college and join the military where he is badly injured.
I loved this story of young love. Drew and Marielle are so sweet and their love for each other is so strong. What will happen when Marielle becomes a huge star? How will Drew cope with his injuries and disfigurement and will Marielle still want him? Read this wonderful sweet romance story and see how Drew and Marielle fall in love and how the cope with the dramas that life throws at them.

Flowers in December by Jane Suen
4 stars

This book was different than any I’ve read before. Connor goes back home to bury his mother, and comes to terms he’s the only one left in his family.
We see the grief, the growth and the inner feelings of Connor as he goes through the stages of going through memories and belongings of his parents. I enjoyed this book.

While I have lost my father at a young age, I only know what I should be missing, not feeling the loss of the person themselves as a whole. This was a great read

Coming Home (Flowers in December #2) by Jane Suen
4 stars

Before you read this, you must read book one, Flowers in December.
This was a quick read but so much was packed into this story. This book picks up 4 months after the first at Christmas time, but doesn’t need to be read as a holiday read at all.
I don’t want to say anything about this book that may become a spoiler of sorts but this is a must read. It didn’t go the way I thought it was going to and that was surprising.
Can’t wait for more from this author

Second Chance (Flowers in December #3)
I have read this series in order but you can read this as a standalone, but I think its best to read all 3.
This book was sweet, and shows no matter what love can prevail.
Im not the biggest fan of back and forth from past to present but did appreciate getting to know Mary Ann. This is the perfect ending to this trilogy, and I will look for more from this author .
