This was a wonderful addition to this series. I loved the humor and romance that Carrie Pulkinen writes! Sophie and Trace were great together. They had great chemistry and banter. This story could be read as a standalone, but I think that it would be best read in order. Also, I am very excited for the third story!

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!

What I love about books the most is the characters and the journey they take in the story. In this story, Xen is a strong woman that I enjoyed reading about. Her journey in this book kept the story interesting and flowing pretty well. This is told from several different characters pov so you need to check out to see whose pov each chapter is written. This is the author’s first book, and I felt that she did well. I am interested in what she puts out in the future.

This is the third story of this series. This story focuses on the eldest Markham sister, Spring, and Callum or also known as Casper. As the author wrote, there are some depictions of addiction. However, I felt that this story was well done. I liked that the author put in the description about Spring had to either choose old dreams or a man that could be there to make new dreams. Spring made growth in this story that I loved reading about. She has a lot of trauma and pain that she needs to work out. I feel that Callum does the best he can to support her. I also loved getting updates on the other Markham sisters!

I feel that this book was well done and a great start to this series. I cannot wait to see how this series plays out!

I was excited to read book 2 after reading book 1, and it was just as fantastic as the first. Carrie Pulkinen does a wonderful job on leading her readers on adventures with the characters. These adventures are exciting with highs, lows, and a great pace that completely keeps you on your toes and immersed in the storyline. I was happy that Sydney was getting her own story, and found that it isn’t always what it seems. I really enjoyed Blake. I felt that the two characters were well matched together and complemented each other wonderfully. So, if you are looking for a great series/book, look no further. This a great series! Although these can be read as a standalone, it would make the best sense when read in order.

Becca is strong and amazing. They have great chemistry. I hope that you enjoy this book as much as I did!

I do like Violet has a character.Violet experiences the trauma of a sexual assault so certain parts may be difficult for some readers.
The experiences she has endured has not made her bitter. She is taking care of so many others that she becomes used to being the source of answers. Demon comes in to help her and provides hope. However, he is adjusting to his position, and he is learning to navigate on what it means to lead. Overall, I enjoyed this story.

  1. This is the second book in the Fisher Men series.

I love how they “meet”. To be honest, I fell in love with these characters with the sneak peak that we got at the end of the first book! I think that Rebel Nicks O’Dey did a fantastic job with this book. I recommend this series and, particularly, this book.View all my reviews

This story really has something for everyone: Love, mystery, drama, and past/present stories. My absolute favorite part of this book is how the stories in the past and the present intertwine with each other without becoming confusing. The story from the past was an important part of the present story.

My favorite character in the story was Liz. I didn’t think it would be. However, I feel that she grew and learned throughout the book. I particularly liked the ending of this story. I feel that Linda Bennett Pennell did a great job of wrapping up both storylines.
