About the author
Chris Keniston
119 books376 followersA native New Yorker, Chris Keniston was on her way to Australia when she fell in love with North Texas. Little did she know the balmy seventy-degree October days would turn into fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk heat in August!
Twenty years later, she started scribbling short stories about her favorite TV shows, giving them lives more to her liking - and the elusive happy ending. Not long after, a dear friend dragged her to a local writers’ meeting. After winning multiple writing contests and making the finals in the Romance Writers of America’s prestigious Golden Heart contest, she now spends her days, and nights, writing contemporary romantic fiction with lots of emotion, plenty of surprises, and, of course, the happily ever after.
Chris lives in suburban Dallas with her husband, two human children, and two canine children. Though she loves her puppies equally, she admits being especially attached to her German Shepherd rescue named Gunny. After all, even dogs deserve a happily ever after.
Die gebürtige New Yorkerin Chris Keniston war auf dem Weg nach Australien, als sie sich in Nord-Texas verliebte. Damals wusste sie noch nicht, dass die milden einundzwanzig Grad des Oktobers sich im August in eine Hitze verwandeln würden, in der man ein Ei auf dem Asphalt braten könnte. Zwanzig Jahre später verbringt sie ihre Tage und Nächte mit dem Schreiben von zeitgenössischen Liebesromanen mit viel Gefühl, einigen Überraschungen und natürlich mit Happy End.
Als stolze Mutter von zwei menschlichen Kindern lebt Chris mit ihrem Mann und ihren beiden Hundekindern in einem Vorort von Dallas. Obwohl sie ihre vierbeinigen Familienmitglieder gleichermaßen liebt, gibt sie zu, dass sie eine ganz besondere Bindung zu ihrem Deutschen Schäferhund Gunny aus dem Tierheim hat. Schließlich verdienen auch Hunde ein Happy End.

4 best friends try to cope when one is hurt
4 best friends try to deal with the aftermath of a car accident that kills the husband of their friend, leaves her in fatal condition and names one of them the baby’s guardian. This story is about how lives change and adapt on the part of the baby, Marcia, Anna who is a hard working corporate executive and soon to be Marcia’s guardian and Mark who was Marcia’s godfather. As each of the friends react to the problems ahead, illness, challenges to guardianship, misunderstandings the story evolves.
Enjoyable writing, good characterizations, strong emphasis on family and motivations to hold on to the familiar while needing to change. All make for a good read and interesting ideas.

This is the first book that I've read by Chris Keniston, but it won't be the last. I was immediately drawn into the story about 4 girls who became best friends in college and continue to be best friends over the next few years. Even though they live far apart, they are still a big part of each other's lives. When a tragedy occurs to one of them, the others rush in to help. Working together to come to terms with the death of a friend and the baby she left behind, these girls realize that they didn't know everything about their deceased friend. Secrets that were not supposed to ever be told come to light and decisions must be made about what to do.

Fantastic book that will hook you from the start!
Champagne sisterhood is a story of 4 tight friends with some romance & suspense mixed into the storyline. It was realistic and touching in parts while the chemistry between Mark and Anna was palpable. Chris Keniston drew me into their world from the start and kept me there till the very end. This romance was a fantastic read and something everyone who loves romance, stories with strong bonds between the characters and a touch of suspense should check out. It will be worth it.

I love "friend" books and this one is amazing! The Champagne Sisterhood even better than Hope's Corner and that is saying a lot.
When tragedy strikes, true friends are there willing to give all that is needed. What an amazing group of friends these women are. If I say any more, I would probably create a spoiler. That is how complex the book gets. I do think that one secret should have come out sooner, but understand the reticence to break a promise.
I hope that this sisterhood becomes its own series.

Easy read.
A little too predictable. I liked how the sisters were fun; to watch how they interacted. But I thought it ended abruptly.
