There are definitely s…moreThe series is primarily about family relationships and finding true love - but love isn't all rainbows, butterflies, and roses. There are definitely struggles and obstacles each couple overcomes, but in the end those hardships make the relationships stronger.

The blossoming of the romances in each book aren't limited just to the couples involved. For instance, in the first book the main female character's sister is a huge part of the story when she becomes the victim of an attack; the main male character's brother adds to the story when he moves to the small town his brother has relocated to. There are meddling friends and parents, but there's a lot of emotion driving the meddling and it's all with good intentions.

The books are set in a small town in Western New York, which adds to the stories as the community itself is as tight-knit as the families the stories revolve around.(less)
M.L. Pennock Book five in the To Have series, which follows Caryn and Greg.

Wear your seatbelt

My firstborn turns 16 tomorrow. It’s been a very emotional last few days for me. My social media memories reminded me today that 16 years ago I was on day two of what would become a failed induction and photo lookbacks keep popping up with pictures of her when she was little. Well, of her … Continue reading Wear your seatbelt Read more of this blog post »
