I loved Aleviyah and Jamison. I loved how they love each other. I loved their spiritual connection. I loved picturing them two steppin' in the kitchen to old school R&B. I loved the Jareau family. I loved the kids. I loved the continuous battle of wills between Jorja and Walker. I loved the cameos with Callie and O’Shea. I loved the wedding. I loved their vows. I especially loved the secret reveal during the reception. I even loved Piggy with his fluffy self. And, FYI, he’s not fat. He's just big boned. LOL! If you couldn’t tell, I loved this book. Signed, Sealed, Delivered was an emotional good time. These were the surprise nuptials I didn’t know I needed. I felt like a cousin invited to the wedding ready to do the Cha Cha Slide at the reception. I smiled and cried the entire time I read this book. You could just feel the love and chemistry between Aleviyah and Jamison as they planned their dream wedding. These two were absolutely meant to be. Liv and Jamison’s love story was a beautiful one and I’m so happy we got to witness their I dos. Especially, with all that Jamison has endured and to see his newfound happiness come full circle just warms my heart. I’m so excited that we get a wedding special on each of the siblings. I’m ready for everybody to walk down the aisle. I can’t wait for Jorja and Walker’s story. I already know they’re coming with all the drama and I’m ready for it.

“You are my perfect, unexpected love… my surprise happily ever after.” A fully bloomed love… signed sealed and delivered! 🥰🥰

This was the sweetest wedding update!! I just love this entire family so much! It was great catching up with everyone and I’m so happy Jamison and Livy got their HEA! These two were truly made for each other! Through all the grief and healing it was so worth it to have this moment in time! The whole wedding ceremony had me in tears! And the song selections throughout the book were so appropriately placed and added all the feels while reading! “No letting go” in the club was a whole vibe in my head 😆 and Liv and Jamison two stepping in the kitchen while cooking dinner had me cheesing extra hard. Everything KB writes turns to gold and this was no different!

I’m looking forward to what’s next for this crew and can’t wait to read Jorja and Walkers story!

Liv x Jamison

I've mentioned not liking wedding stories, but damn it, leave it to KB to make me eat my words. This was absolutely beautiful and so drenched in love. This was the wedding journey I didn't know I needed. Liv and Jamison seem to have fallen more and more in love. My face hurt from smiling so much. My heart kept fluttering even after the book ended. It was entirely too sweet. We got the shenanigans of Walker and Jorja, Cartel and Adina blossoming, the kiddos being so adorable, your heart could just melt. And who could forget Piggy. Just plain adorable. And nobody can tell me I was not a guest at this wedding. I saw and felt everything the author was trying to portray. I was there. This was amazing, and I loved every page.

Officially a Jareau!

Aww yet another sweet love story ❤️
I'm so glad I was invited. It felt like I got to experience their big day with them.

Aleviyah and Jamison have the sweetest love. Aleviyah was truly the woman for him. The way she honored his deceased wife was next level beautiful. The connection she nurtured with his children. The relationships built with his family including his previous mother in law were just so sweet.
Jamison was a man's man, meant to be a husband, a provider. He had no urge to be in the streets, he felt comfortable in monogamous relationships. I loved how once he got past his guilt he loved Liv deeply, passionately, and freely. There was no question how much he loved and cherished her.
I loved that we got to see their family progressing and thriving. Although, the family had long claimed Liv it was great to see her officially become a Jareau. It was a beautiful story❤️

I didn't think we needed the flashbacks from the original story. I liked staying in the present. I wanted more details...I wanted to know how the venue was decorated. The colors of the bridesmaids dresses. Just to add to the visuals.
Lastly Jorja and Walker definitely need their own story. Walker bout to find himself single frfr.

Swoon worthy

Such a sweet and romantic follow up to Jamison's and Aleviyah's love story. I can't call it the end because I know we'll hear from them again, soon.
Those vows brought me to tears. I love the love. And Sharice's spirit is absolutely everything. A true blessing.

I’m Yours

This was the greatest update for 2 beyond deserving people. Jamison & Liv are one of my favorite couples. Their growing family is one I hope we continue to get updates on as this series continues.

It’s always nice to see other characters and get updates on them as well. Cannot wait for Jorja and Walkers story.

Great read. Highly recommended

LIVED IT

This was definitely a great follow-up to Liv and Jamison's journey in book one. The love they show and give to each other and the children is beautiful. They were so deserving of this wedding surrounded by an abundance of love from both sides of the family.

A Jareau Family Wedding

This journey to the wedding was beautiful, tender, blissful and a true representation of all forms of love. I was so happy for Aleviyah and Jamison snd their children, they are a family. You could feel the love through the pages.

[Girl Truss Me · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book 😍🥰

This was amazing to get caught up with the gang. Aleviyah and Jamison were so freaking cute and made for each other. I love when a author can write well developed children in their stories. This book will definitely have you in your emotions and I love it 🤣 I am waiting for Walker and Jorja’s story because I know it’s about to be a mess.

love this couple

The couple that started the series. I love the fact that Kimberly Brown gives the readers updates and weddings for the couples. I love Jamison and Aleviyah relationship especially the kids.

[The Love Librarian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Where Love Blooms must be read before reading Signed, Sealed, Delivered. This novella is about Jamison and Aleviyah's wedding.

3.5 stars - review to come.

This novella shows us the events leading up to Jamison and Aleviyah's wedding. It was good, but I felt like this could've just been an extended epilogue attached to the end of the original story. A separate novella wasn't necessary as it didn't add much to the story other than Aleviyah revealing she was pregnant at the wedding reception.

[Stacie · Rating 4 out of 5]

All the love!! Some parts of this book were written in Where Love Blooms and/or Deep in My Soul but I still loved it all. Happy reading!

[Jite · Rating 4 out of 5]

one for the fans…

This is basically an extended epilogue for Book 1 in this series that falls in between Book 2 and 3. For those of us who loved Aliveyah and Jamieson, it’s a chance to experience the wedding planning and wedding with them along with all the shenanigans and fun. There is also a light teaser for Bool 3 with cracks exposed in Jorja and Walkers FWB relationship that was intriguing enough that I almost set this aside to go find out what happens with them. Overall, a pleasant, no drama, low stakes read- could maybe have been a little more exciting and compelling (I found myself reading a couple of other books after I started this), but still good.

🤎🤎🤎

I absolutely loved this. I even cried a couple times. I’m becoming a softy reading these books. Jamison and Aleviyah have a spiritual connection. Can’t be denied and it was the perfect update on the oldest Jareau brothers family.

Signed sealed Delivered

I really enjoy the wedding story. I still love the bond Jamison and Liv. It was like they was made for each other. I love the way she love on the kids.

Dr. and Mrs. Jamison Jareau 4ever!!!!!

I love Jamison and Liv Sooooo Sooooo much!! I knew I was going to love this update!! Everything about them and their family is perfect to me!!! Liv is perfect, Jamison is perfect, the kids are perfect! Hell even piggy 😂 (not too much on our family dog) knowing their are welcoming a new addition to the family had my heart smiling!! I would love to read about her pregnancy!! Honestly I want to read everything about this family 😂 I want to see Liv and Jamison get old and the kids grow up!! The brothers are still comedians and kept me cracking up! Can't lie after reading their story I wasn't ready to read anything about Cartel and Aroma 😂 they drained me of everything, but just like I knew it would Dr. Jareau and Liv filled me right back up!! Can't wait to see what Walker and Jorja are on in their story!!!!

SSD Conflicted

Foremost, I adore the Jareau Family, their antics, banter & bickering. However, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: a Jareau Family Wedding” was disappointing & left me conflicted. Honestly. I expected much more. The only update, that I can recall was Reese Jareau is a broadcaster with a master’s degree and various details regarding the actual wedding. Otherwise, this book had numerous verbatim excepts from the original series any. Thereafter, all other pertinent Jareau family (or extended family) details and or relationship updates was provided in the original “Jareau Family” three book series (IE: Walker & Jorja, Alaina, Jamison & Aleviyah’ baby Edwin).

[Kameria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yalllll🥹 The love between these two Jamison and Aleviyah is so beautiful. There is an age gap between my husband and I, so to be able to relate to them was amazing. I love how Kimberly gave us a book for the wedding because we also got a little more of the bond between the siblings. We also got to experience the true love and support from family, which is so hard to come by these days. I enjoyed this short story so much and I am definitely going to continue with the series because I am NOT tired of this family yet😩.
**Side note: Kimberly Brown is an amazing writer. Everything flows so smoothly and the grammar is top tier!

[Vonetta Evans · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a nice follow up on Jamison and Aleviiyah from Where Love Blooms. If you read the books in the suggested order this picks up right where the second book in the Jareau Family series ends.

It was nice seeing the bond with Aleviyah and the kids continuing and now she wanted to involve them in the wedding. It was also nice seeing the family members back together again. The events leading up to wedding were cute and the way that Aleviyah wanted to surprise him at the reception with her “gift” was sweet. I really loved reading their vows because they were just so heartfelt. Overall I enjoyed this wedding book and looking forward to getting into the other ones.

Forever and Always

Kimberly… what a great surprise! Jamison and Aleviyah are competing for my 2nd fav couple (nobody is replacing Callie and Thane as #1, lol). You can just feel the love as you read each word. I love how you continue to tell the siblings’ stories without it taking away from Liv and Jay; I’m mentally preparing for Alaina & Roosevelt, Jorja & Walker, and Reese’s stories 👀👀. That doggone Anais hon get me every time 😭. And there’s a playlist?! Again, loved this surprise. Highly recommend this book.

[Shondra Shelton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful

That wedding was everything when Jamison and Aleviyah said their vows they literally brought me to tears. The love between those two and the kids was a beautiful thing to witness. Aleviyah was an awesome soul they way she would visit the cemetery to talk to Sharice about Jamison and the kids let you know that she loved them with her whole heart. Now all we need is a book on Jorga and Walker but the cat and mouse game that they are playing is getting real interesting. Hint

Love Heals All Things.

Kimberly Brown, yes to this sweet read. Jamison never thought he would get a chance to love wholly again. Liv, had a chance to experience a life she never thought she would. I so love her heart and spirit. Sharice, was able to rest in peace knowing her life wasn't in vain.
To see how much the children grew to love Liv and how the Jareau family took Ja and Liv into their fold. Ms. Nina showed Liv such love. It just made everything come together in an easier way. Such A sweet read🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Awesome love story

Wedding was beautiful I'm also glad there getting another blessing there first born child together..

I really enjoyed the family bond and how everyone just fit and there love was awesome Started off as the Nanny only to become something so much more ..

Like I was told God works in mysterious ways never know But be ready Both found Love and Happiness
Jamison did not know that Hiring a Nanny would become what he truly needed was Partner a Friend A Lover... Mother to his children...

I'm looking forward to Rest of this family

[Latonda Mcqueen · Rating 4 out of 5]

As the first book in the series, there was enough to get me interested in reading the entire series. I didn’t want to miss the humor, the antics, budding relationships, and family interactions of the Jareau family. Yeah, like other books of this type, they are all very wealthy, are extremely attractive, and amazing in bed 😉, but they still have great love and affection for each other. Reading the first part of the novel, you know that there will be some sort of connection with Jamison and his new nanny, Aleviyah, but it’s a cute love story. I’ll definitely read the entire series.

[Christina 💕 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is everything! This one really almost got me to tear up!!

It was hard to decide who I liked more between Cartel or Jamison after the second book, but I think this solidified Dr. Jareau is where it’s at!! lol

Sidenote: I need Walker and Jorja to quit playing already!! Can’t wait to read their story next. Didn’t know the weddings were separate till starting the 3rd book of the main series.

[Nikki Brookins · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked how the author portrays black love in a positive light. I haven't read the whole series. This wedding story makes me want to read from the beginning of the series to see how their love bloomed.

Aleviyah was a live-in nanny for Jamison Jareau after his wife died. Their love story was complicated because Jamison was still in love with his wife who died while giving birth. This book brought tears to my eyes. The author vividly describes the love that is shared among the couple.

Now on to read the series…..
