So, so, so sorry that all these kids are married off already. Love this series and this family. Thank you Bernadette for making my laugh, cry, be mad, and happy. Cannot wait to read more of your stories and characters. Thank you again.

Dream a Little Dream

The Keller Family series just gets better and better! Avery Keller wants the life her mother had and gave up. That of a rich heiress living it up in Paris, with chauffeured limousines, fancy clothes, and jewelry. We all dream of happily ever afters, being rich, and famous. But dreams have a habit of turning into nightmares, and Avery, having walked away from her fiance and best friend Pete in Nashville TN, finds herself a virtual prisoner abroad. I loved reading this book, it gives us the flip side of luxury and old world families.

Avery and Pete have been best friends since childhood, but one night changed that. They thought it was for the better until something terrible happened. Can Avery stand by her man or follow the unknown? How bad could things get?

Another well written story in this series. But this is my least favorite book in the series. I didn't really care for Avery and her selfishness. I am also not a fan of reading about main characters with other people, it's just not my cup of tea.

5 stars!
Great conclusion to the series! Pete is such a sweetheart! So glad that Avery realized that what she was looking for was right where she left it. I love the Kellers!!!

The start of this series was excellent, I loved it but now it's one of those series I feel should have stopped while it was ahead. It's nice to see what the children have grown up to be though.

I admit I shed a few tears when I started reading Avery and Pete's story. I'm more than a little sad that the Keller's series has came to an end. This story like the rest was a joy to read.

I'm a Keller at heart

I'm going to mis the Keller Family, all of then have a piece of my heart... that family love is stronger than any army... Love then all

I didn't love this. The characters frustrated me, Avery especially, and the switch from best friends to couple was just a little too cut and dry.
