I will never get enough of the Jansen brothers. Thank goodness author Sophie Sullivan catches us up on their lives in Third Time's a Charm -- three short stories centering on each of the Jansen brothers.

The couples are all back and their friends too. Everly and Chris are celebrating Everly's birthday and what a gift she receives from Chris! Noah and Grace are planning to be on a reality TV series showcasing their wedding plans until the plans change. And Wes and Hailey get a big surprise while planning their wedding.

It's such a joy to visit with these endearing couples again. While each story could be read as a stand alone , it's better to read the three full length novels that introduce each couple and their journey to finding happily ever after. I absolutely love the setting for Grace and Noah's wedding and Wes' murder wedding board is hilarious . I loved how comfortable Everly is with everyone and how she keeps going despite her social anxiety.

The book also incudes a prequel to You Make it Feel Like Christmas. The prequel introduces us to Maisie and Nick and sets up the story for the full length book. You don't want to miss that one.

Thank you to the author for bringing back the Jansen brothers. I am always up for stories about the Jansen brothers. Perhaps another look into their future could be down the road? Please. Please.
