Rate this book
The Diary of the Sisterhood Volume 1 includes Books 1-4 of the beloved series!

We are four sisters who've never had much luck in love. When we uncover a diary cleaning out Nana’s attic, Mom says it has the power to find us our true loves. Too good to be true? Probably. Potentially dangerous? Yep. Will we do it anyway? Abso-freaking-maybe.

Diary-ing is promising for the soul.
For the Donovan sisters—Lyric, Amelie, Jessa, and Ditra—it promises them a soulmate.
Hocus-Pocus? Or an actual shot at true love?
Either way…this isn’t your mama’s diary, babe.
Kisses! Tarin

Each story in the Diary of the Sisterhood series is a complete, standalone adventure with a sprinkling of maybe-magic and an oooh so satisfying steamily-ever-after.

Tarin Lex bundles the entirety of her fabulous Diary of the Sisterhood together in one collection, and it's a must-have. The interconnected yet standalone stories of the four Donovan sisters will captivate and entertain you as each finds their soulmate (some begrudgingly LOL) with just a little bit of help.

Dear Diary: I Love a Mountain Man (Meade & Lyric)
Lyric and her three sisters do not know quite what to make of the story their widowed mother tells when she finds an old diary that has been passed down through the generations - supposedly bringing all of its authors their soul mates. But the beautiful, whimsical young woman takes one for the team, grabs the diary and a bunch of art supplies, and heads from Texas to the mountains in Idaho to see about finding herself a mountain man. Meade is an ex-marine, happy to live out his days alone in a cabin n the mountains, finding an escape in his art. When he encounters Lyric in a general store part-way up the mountain, the surly mountain man tries to dissuade her from hiking any further. When she doesn't listen and ends up falling into a stream, Meade comes to her rescue. But is there any truth to the magic of the diary? Meade and Lyric burn up the pages in this fun, whimsical, seriously swoon-worthy novella.

Dear Diary: I Love the Guy Next Door - (Perry & Amelie)
After her closest sister, Lyric, took the diary first and fell in love in the course of a day, Amelie takes the book from Texas to Florida, renting an AirBnB near where they scattered their father's ashes just nine months ago. From the moment she meets Perry, the home's owner - who lives in the house right next door - she is smitten. For Perry, the feeling is completely mutual, which leads him to avoid her for the first few days, not ready to consider falling for someone who will soon be leaving. However, when a hurricane approaches and Perry and Amelie are stuck in close quarters, will they continue to be able to deny what seems fated between them?

Dear Diary: I Love My Best Friend (Teddy and Jessa)
Teddy and Jessa have been best friends for ten years, and now work together at a magazine (where he is technically her boss). The third of her four sisters to gain possession of a "magical" family diary that brings its bearer true love, she is slightly skeptical - until feelings she has been suppressing for her bestie come to the surface. Teddy is already there - he has loved Jessa from afar from the very beginning, and now he is determined to make her his. A fabulously entertaining best-friends-to-lovers short romance!

Dear Diary: I Love a Firefighter (Dante & Ditra)
The biggest skeptic of her sisters, Ditra does everything in her power to get rid of the magical diary. However, her journey proves you can't change fate - because when she and her best friend Yvette's attempts to burn the diary go awry, Ditra meets firefighter Dante. Dante and Ditra's chemistry is off the charts, and their story is entertaining, steamy and oh-so-swoon-worthy.

Dear Diary: I Love a Mountain Man
When four sisters are cleaning out their nana's attic they find a book that will change their relationship status from single to happily ever after. This is book one and we get Lyric and Meade the mountain man's story. Meade and Lyric meet each other at the local general store and for him, it's insta love but for her, he's a grumpy mountain man and surely the magical book has picked someone else for her. I loved Lyric and Meade for each other and their fast paced story had me with a big cheesy grin on my face and I was cheering them on to get their happily ever after. This is the first book in the Diary of the Sisterhood series and I can't wait to read the rest of this fun series.
Dear Diary: I Love The Guy Next Door
This is book two in the Diary of the Sisterhood series and is Amelie and Perry's story. Amelie heads to Florida to find her soulmate and ends out renting a house from Perry a teacher. Sparks are flying between them but he's still dealing with loss and so is she. Together they survive a Florida hurricane and find love on the other side. This is a sweet love story with believable characters who find their happily ever after and I was cheering them on.
Dear Diary: I Love My Best Friend
This is book three in the Diary of the Sisterhood series and is Jessa and Teddy's story. Jessa and Teddy have been best friends for years and have loved each other but neither wanted to admit it because they were afraid it would ruin their friendship. One kiss changed everything for both of them. This is a great addition to the series and I loved this friends to lovers romance.
Dear Diary: I Love a Firefighter
This is book four in the Diary of the Sisterhood series and is Ditra and Dante's story. Ditra is the final sister to get the diary and even though she doesn't believe it can do anything she still does her best to destroy it. She's determined to get rid of the diary but it still does its job and brings Dante into her life in an interesting way. The writing is well done, the characters are great and the ending is perfect.

This was a great first book in the series. Lyric and her sisters were told by their mother that their grandmothers diary could find them their true love. Lyric set off with the diary to Idaho. She met Meade while stopping for supplies and thought he was a very hot, very grumpy mountain man! When her life was in danger while she was hiking to her cabin he rescued her. Their chemistry was amazing. It was love at first sight. Wonderful, hot, steamy, instalove story with a fantastic HEA

It’s Amelie’s turn to take the diary and meet her soulmate! As soon as she arrives in Florida and sees Perry she knows it’s him! Perry is grieving and shies away from his instant feelings for Amelie. When a storm hits and she may be in danger he cannot deny his love any longer. Sweet, very emotional, fast paced instalove story with amazing chemistry and a beautiful HEA .
Book 3- I love my best friend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jessa and Teddy have been best friends for 10 years. Each have secretly been in love with the other but didn’t want to admit it or lose the relationship they had so kept things platonic. When Jessa was the next sister to take the diary she finally admitted her feelings for Teddy. Hot, steamy, sweet and romantic. Teddy and Jessa were true soulmates. The HEA was beautiful.

Book 4- I love a Firefighter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ditra was the last of the sister to get the diary but she didn’t want to fall in love, she was scared. She took a trip to Tennessee to see her friend and try and break the diary’s ‘curse’ This caused a call to the firefighters and Dante rescuing her. Dante was in love with Ditra at first sight, he couldn’t get her out of his head. He was going to do everything he could to make her his forever. Sweet, steamy romance with amazing chemistry and a lovely HEA.

have previously read and reviewed the books in this collection and I really enjoyed them all.

Dear Diary: I love a Mountain Man
This is the first book in the Diary of the Sisterhood series, fun and quick to read. This novella is well-written and both quirky Lyric and grumpy mountain man, Meade are wonderful characters. Can the magic diary help all the sisters find their soul mates?

Dear Diary: I love the Guy Next Door
This is the second book in the Diary of the Sisterhood series, it can be read as a standalone story however I recommend reading them in order.
There is a heartbreaking trigger in this story where the Hero suffers heartbreak. Please be aware.
Well-written and quick to read instalove novella where the magic of the diary does wonders again. We follow Amelie as she heads of with the diary to Florida where she meets Perry, the guy she rented her beach cottage from. She is instantly attracted to Perry and slowly she draws him out his shell to realize that he can recover from serious heartache. Wonderful characters in a sweet and steamy story

Dear Diary: I love My Best Friend
This is the third book in the series and can be read as a standalone story. The friends to lovers storyline is sweet and steamy. Both Jessa and Teddy are wonderful characters, their relationship is fun and was great to see them get their HEA.

Dear Diary: I love a Fireman
This is the 4th book in the Diary of the Sisterhood series, it can be read as a standalone story however best read in order. Fast-paced and fun to read, Ditra is the last sister getting the diary to write in however she wants absolutely nothing to do with it. She meets Dante when he pulls her out a house fire at her bff's house and they are immediately smitten with each other. Good story, quick to read with wonderful likable characters.

Magic Diary of Love! This collection has four books: Dear Diary: 1. I Love a Mountain Man; 2. I Love the Guy Next Door; 3. I Love My Best Friend! and the last one, 4 - I Love a Firefighter.

Book 1 - I Love a Mountain Man! This is about Lyric and Meade. Lyric and her sisters have been told they have a gift of finding their soulmate by writing in the diary, but there is a catch. Lyric is first up, and Meade meets her in the store, where she decides to buy some items that are not crucial for her pending hike. Meade chooses to follow her as he knows she will need saving! Love this.

Book 2 - I Love the Guy Next Door! This book is about Amelie and Perry. It is about loss, acceptance, and hope. I love that the journal is not wrong; just writing in it will help them move forward to what they want, even in the middle of a hurricane! This was awesome. Now, I can’t wait to read about what Jessa does, as love might have been there all along; she wasn’t paying attention!

Book 3 - I Love My Best Friend! This is about Jessa and Teddy. They have been best friends since school, and now they work together. It is her turn to write in the diary, and Teddy wants her to write about it and instead gives her the assignment of monster trucks, which she doesn't like. Ultimately, they finally do something about how they feel for each other.

Book 4 - I Love a Firefighter! This is about Ditra and Dante. She is determined to get rid of the book and not find love. Of course, when she decides to burn the book, it does something unexpected, and firefighters are called out. Now Dante rescues her and brings her another diary similar to the one she burned!.

Dear Diary: I Love a Mountain Man

Fantastic new series of four sisters, absolutely loved the characters as they are truly written with spunky attitude, of course there’s bickering between them. Great adventure with romance and that ever elusive looking for your soulmate, only to find it’s a grumpy mountain man or is he? Enjoy this fast paced short novella with steamy scenes and best of all glitter.

Dear Diary: I Love the Guy Next Door

This was a hard storyline to process, but it was rewarding that you can get past loss. Enjoyed these characters and the many emotions they go thru, which matched their setting as well. Very fitting for Amelie who is so upbeat and positive to be given the challenge of heartache from Perry.

Dear Diary: I Love My Best Friend

My favorite type of trope, what’s better than falling in love with your best friend who’s always been there waiting for you to open your eyes and heart. Enjoyed Jessa and Teddy’s love blossom in mere moments as Jessa accepts the journey of the diary.

Dear Diary: I Love a Firefighter

The last of the sisters finds love, this short novella had a different vibe from the others in the series. Definitely deeper with characters very much in contemplating the issue of finding love, but also if you lose your love. It was great for Ditra to push past her safe boundaries and take a chance with Dante.

"Diary of Sisterhood" are four short, quick and fast paced reads. The stories are about four sisters who are shown a diary by their Mama. The diary is magical! Each story about a different sister, the diary and finding love. All of them are cute, sweet and steamy with pretty much instant love. The titles included are "Dear Diary: I Love a Mountain Man!", "Dear Diary: I Love the Guy Next Door!", "Dear Diary: I Love My Best Friend!" and "Dear Diary: I Love a Firefighter!" All though I enjoyed all of them the two that really stuck out was "Dear Diary: I Love a Mountain Man" and "Dear Diary: I Love the Guy Next Door!" The first story is about Lyric, the oldest sister, and Meade. Lyric decides to go back packing in the mountains. At the general store she meets Meade, who ends up rescuing her. The attraction is instant and the love almost as instant. The second story "Dear Diary: I Love the Guy Next Door!" is about Amelie, the youngest sister, and Perry. This one takes Amelie from Texas to a rental in Florida, where they released some of her dads ashes. When she needs help Perry, the next door neighbor, jumps into help her.

Diary of the Sisterhood Box Set - Fantastic!

Diary of the Sisterhood : Volume 1 is the Box Set of a wonderful series. It contains the books -
1. Dear Diary: I Love a Mountain Man! (Lyric and Meade)
2. Dear Diary: I Love the Guy Next Door! (Amelie and Perry)
3. Dear Diary: I Love My Best Friend! (Jessa and Teddy)
4. Dear Diary: I Love a Firefighter! (Ditra and Dante)

The series is about the Donovan sisters and the family diary, which promises to bring you and our soul mate together when you write in it. Each sister takes turns with the diary and takes a journey of at least 500 hundred miles away from the previous location. They all have a different experience with the diary and their adventure. I will say that the last book, Ditra, made me laugh at what happened between her and the diary. I had read this series when it was first released, loving it then and still loving it. I would definitely RECOMMEND this box set of the series to other readers who want some fun, light, entertaining, and smexy short stories.

Review:
Best friends for 10 years. Teddy knew but didn’t act on it. Why? Shrugging. Why be in denial of loving your best friend? Well, thankfully one of them has come to their senses! No cliffhanger next sister please.

and Love a Firefighter

Have Fun!.

What would you do if your mom showed you a diary that if written in you could find your soul mate. You'd think she was nuts, right. Well it happened for her and now it's time to pass it on. There are some rules and stipulations that have to be followed. But these four sisters are going to give it a chance ,grudgingly of course. Funny,sweet ,quirky HEA'S.
