Once again, Nessie has me speechless and a sobbing mess. This book made me fall in love with Bryson, Jenna and Caden all over again. My heart hurts for Caden for all that boy has gone through in his short 12 years.

The first book Tell me Why must be read in order to understand this book. And that book was just as amazing as this one.

Jenna and Bryson thought they had it all, and honestly they do but the strength they both show during some obstacles that are thrown at them as well as their family is absolutely amazing. They love deep and hard and will do anything to help and protect the ones they love.

This Is Why will pull at your heartstrings and make you once again fall in love with these characters. Your heart will break for what Caden has been holding on to. You think you know it all but you have no idea.

Nessie Wallace is now a must read author for me as I cannot get enough of her characters.

Seriously I have no words for Nessie Wallace, yet again she has made me fall in love with her work all over again. I know that some of you might think well how is that possible but honestly I can tell you that it is, the only way for you to know is for you to pick up this pretty amazing series and give it a try for yourself. I felt the story connect with me in so many ways, I actually love that when an author can achieve that and with her work you can see this clearly. Yet again I was blown away with the whole storyline, not for one moment did I think of what would happen, and I honestly think that a story works best when this happens.

You might think that this book is just about Jenna and Bryson and their family, however it is that much more and if you read it yourself you will find yourself falling in love with Caden even more because he is such sweet kid. This is the most hardest time for him because he has been through so much in his thirteen years, he has seen things that no child should see. I honestly think that even though he has everything that he could ever ask for and now has Jenna as his legal mom, I honestly feel like he just wants closer from his birth mom, but in some aspects I think he is afraid that something will happen and that he will lose everything and everyone around him. Honestly he is such a sweetheart and he had a place in my heart from when I first read about him. I would love to tell you more and give you all the details but honestly I just can’t do that, just take my word for it that it’s honestly amazing. I can’t wait to read the next one, these books stand out to me so much they will always have a place in my heart.

Nessie Wallace has done it again. I have decided to officially start calling her “King Midas.” Everything she writes turns into gold.  (See what I did there)

This Is Why is absolutely amazing. Nessie had no trouble transitioning from the YA genre to NA in this exquisite story. She also broadened her target audience by adding some steamy sex scenes. I was hot and flustered after a few of them.
I love the strength that Jenna and Bryson show through all obstacles. They have a deep love and passion for each other but an even stronger bond as a family unit. Caden their oldest son owns my heart. This child made me cry multiple times.

This book will pull on your heart strings, but ultimately you will love yourself so much more after reading it.

All of Nessie’s works should be an easy one-click for everybody.

when I started this series I had saw someone on my facebook post about reading these books by Nessie Wallace. So I thought well I will give them a shot. Now I am so glad that I did. These books are so full of emotion, strength, courage, devotion, love. There were times when reading these books where I was holding my breath not knowing what was going to come next, crying at parts that were simply amazing, and saying "oh hell no" at other parts(and hate certain characters). I really thought when I started these that they were going to be like all the other books that I have read but they were nothing like that at all. Wonderful book series ready for more.

** Provided on behalf of the author for an honest review **
** Review by Gayle from Bloggers From Down Under **


And so continues Jenna and Bryson's story. A story that proves that everything happens for a reason.

A little over a year ago, Jenna could never imagine her life as it is now. All she had was herself and her unborn child.

Now she has a large loving family, and a husband who absolutely adores her.

That doesn't mean that their life is perfect, but it's pretty damn close. They do have their ups and downs, but love and understanding usually saves the day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful, that in a world filled with hate and violence, if everyone had the life and understanding that this family does. The world would be a much better place.

A beautifully written novel that I couldn't put down.

5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here we go again…….emotions all over the place. Have you ever wanted to choke a author…..lol, two books in and Nessie has me all to pieces, another great book. Let me just say this, the love scenes are HOT HOT HOT but that’s one of the ways you know a great author wrote it. You have to read this series because you will kick yourself if you don’t. Jenna and Bryson have the kind of relationship that all little girls dream of having, a family, having a special bond with the love of your life.
The situation that this happy little family has to go through no loving parents should have to. To know something could tear your family apart is the most devastating feeling to go through, do you do what is right or do you protect yours at any cost? Another five star read!

The story of Bryson and Jenna continues and the love for eachother and the children...adopted or their own... it doesn't matter. Blood isn't the binding factor, but love is.
The story of Caden and his sisters is sad and you know in real life this happens too.

Again the concept of Soulmates and unconditional love fills your heart while reading and make you believe in a better world.

Nice little novella

This novella picks up from the first book and is a great continuation of a really great love story! I loved it. In this book you see a little more of Caden and his heartbreaking story. I think he is one of my favorite characters ever!!! In this book you still have the love and faith in each other and it's really great to have a story of love, faithfulness, and strength of character!! Yes, it's got heat so you get both HEAT and HEART!

5 Star Review of This Is Why by Nessie Wallace

Oh man did this Novella make my Kindle catch "Fire". You get the heat that couldn't all fit in the first book.

I fell in love with Bryson even more. He is such a sexy and perfect hero. How he fiercely protects Jenna and his family is amazing.

Now little Caden. This little man has my heart. I just want to put him in my pocket forever. He is so sweet, strong and amazing! He is such a great big brother and I loved every single moment I read with this little man.

Jenna as always is such a beautiful and strong Mother. There is not a single thing she would not do for the love of her life and family. She protects her cubs like a lioness. She will fight and claw for every single one.

The situation this family faces is one that is a battle of conscience. Do you do what is right or do what is necessary to ensure the safety of your family?

I just want to read these guys forever.

You get much more info on Bryson and Jenna in this book. You get to see how the kids have grown and the struggles Caden lived with and opened up to his parents. As you know he is adopted but wanted to meet his real mom for closer and that was such a turning point in the book to bring the family so much closer together. You get the girls and the special surprise that has the family jumping with joy!
