Wow....This book was so much more than I bargained for! Not your typical boy meets girl but a rollercoaster of emotions with a twist of family love! I love to read about love and this book certainly did the job! ❤️ The character were relatable and absolutely charming! Just loved this all the way around! I look forward to reading more from this author!

I enjoyed this book, very much. It was quite different from what I expected but in a good way. I have loved all of Kimberly's books that I have read so far. You know that they will be a good clean read, so no skipping half the book to miss any bad things! It made me smile, cry and really liked the characters.

This emotional and exciting romance about Alexis and Tyler had them involved in a mystery with murder, intrigue, spirits and secrets with Alexis’ family. As Alexis and her daughter came home after several losses to mend their broken hearts, souls and lives they had to face a greater loss of her grandmother. Tyler, her one true love was still there waiting for her but did she deserve him? Good read.

I won this book in a GoodReads giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
And I am so, so sorry. :(
This novel was tender and hopeful and emotional and sweet.
It also just...wasn't a great book. :(
The author chose to write it in third-person omniscient, which resulted in a lot of unannounced head-hopping. That, coupled with a writing style I can only describe as being "abrupt", left me confused and disoriented for the first third of the book, before my brain finally caught on to how to read it properly. (Most books I read are in first person, or third-person limited, or have some kind of break in the text announcing scene transitions or POV changes. This allows for a lot less confusion on the reader's part, and even a healthy amount limitation on the writer.)
The fact that the narration informed me of all of a character's roles and qualities instead of letting me discover them through observation and character interaction resulted in a feeling of detachment; so that by the end of the book I could only keep track of a few characters' names and exactly what relationship they had with the protagonist...which is a real shame because I loved what I saw of the family dynamic and really wished I could get to know these people as people, rather than names and traits and emotional backstories. (The story-telling rule "show, don't tell" comes to mind here.)
There were also some plot holes, villains that were incredibly stupid (not sure if that was intentional), and some recurring phrases that could have been replaced (such as the many people "centering" each other, and "taking in each other's scents". There was also a lot of hugging. So much hugging. And let the record show that I am a very huggy person.).
This book wasn't terrible, but it didn't really feel like a finished product to me. More like a later draft. :(
Ultimately however, my biggest complaint is with Tyler.
Look, I don't hate the guy. I know that he means well. But the man kept doing something that made me angry.
"And just how does he look at me?"
"Like you're his."
No, Tyler. Alexis is not yours. Not until she decides she is.
If a man loves a woman, he will respect her verbally stated boundaries. Kissing Alexis repeatedly, despite her explicit wishes--no matter WHAT your history together is or HOW she responds in the heat of the moment--is not respecting those boundaries. Alexis was trying to figure out her own heart, and exciting her sexually (against her conscious wishes) does NOT help her do that; it only serves to cloud her judgment. Such actions are emotionally manipulative and boarder on sexual harassment.
If I were in Lexi's shoes I would have gotten sick of his messing with my mind like that and put as much distance between us as I could.
Now, I know Tyler didn't mean any harm. And I know that ultimately he's a good man. But that doesn't make what he was doing ok.
That being said, I did like the book's heart. It had a lovely message, loving characters, TOO MANY FRIGGIN' HUGS, and a hopeful look toward Eternity. All very warm and nice. If it weren't for the above problems I would probably have ended the book sobbing into my pillow. I highly encourage the author (if she reads this) to keep at it! Warm, good, lovely things are always worth writing about. <3
All that being said, I cannot pretend that I loved this book. It wasn't truly terrible either though so I won't be giving it a one star rating.
2.5 stars (rounded up to 3) out of 5.

This is one of those books that was such a pleasant surprise! It had action, romance, the importance of family, and a Christian twist that can be hard to find in a good romance. The angel in the book made me question times I've lost loved ones and things I've experience through those losses. It reassured me that what I thought had happened might not have been my imagination but rather someone caring for me from the other side.
As for the characters, Tyler was probably my favorite. He was successful yet down to earth, in love with Lexi but willing to give her the time she needed, and also in love with her daughter. He was always a gentleman even when he wanted more from her. Always.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance and likes characters that are believable with all their human frailties. Overall, when I put this book down I felt good, and isn't that how a good romance should make you feel? This was the first book I've read by this author but definitely won't be the last.

“God’s ways and timing is mysterious. And there are endless possibilities when it comes to what His plans are between heaven and earth.”
Kimberly McKay’s novel, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES, reads so much like a Hallmark movie that I wish someone would submit it to the producers! I loved the tight-knit family relationships in this story as well as Alexis’ plucky personality and Tyler’s steadfastness. But my very favorite character was 7-year-old Lani - her joyful personality lifted the other characters’ spirits, and she really jumped off the page for me.
If you are a fan of paranormal, inspirational romance with high stakes, you will love this novel. I was constantly surprised where the plot took me next. While you’re at it, you should check out Kimberly’s earlier novels as well!

With God there are always endless possibilities....
The mysteries of grandmas remain in most of our memories. My Grammy didn't tell me much, but when I met her family I could surmise quite a lot....her love and my Grandad love remain today in my heart, hopefully readers who had good grandparents can relate.

Absolutely Loved It!!!
I couldn't put this story down, it was so riveting and good. I loved the interaction between Grams and the other characters. Tyler was wonderful and so patient. Loved how she finally found peace about Clay and was able to move forward. Looking forward to Anderson's story.

Different
This book was different. The story was fast paced. At times I wanted to shake Alexis. Tyler was inspiring and a good man.

No Boundaries on Love
I enjoyed meeting these characters. They a bright, talented and people I would like to know. TJ and Alexis have been kept apart by misunderstandings and guilt. Alexis has a young daughter Lani who sees and hears dearly departed members of her family. The newly deceased Grandmother attempts to try to help TJ and Alexis rekindle their romance. The ever shifting abilities and back and forth celestial travels of Grandmother Evelyn are a bit confusing. All in all I enjoyed reading the book and I think anyone who enjoys spiritual stories will too.

Do we all have a guardian angel watching over u?
Alexis left home and married a man who she wasn't in love with. After her husband died she came back home with her daughter. Her grandmother had just been killed and they could not understand why anyone would do this to Evelyn. Evelyn was allowed to come back as a guardian angel to protect her family from danger. This is where you get the tissue out there is a lot of danger and so much going on. You won't be able to put the book down!

Interesting read. My favorite character was the 90ish deceased grandmother. Well developed plot and characters that were likable. For the H and h, their misunderstanding years earlier had been the catalyst for their separation. The h is now a widow and he H is still well known and valued by the community and by her family. Their journey for a second chance was bumpy but moved consistently forward. Well done.

This book hooks you in the first chapter and never lets go. It has everything you could want in a book and it leaves you wanting more. Thankfully Book 2 is available. I’m not a fan of romance, but this book is like a Hallmark movie amped with so much more. Give it a try! You won’t regret it!

I must admit, the cover is what first caught my eye. We see so many these days that are blurred, out of focus, and surprisingly has little to do with the storylines. The choice of fonts and the clean beautifully designed cover was just a taste of what was yet to come. I found the characters intriguing and well developed. I love that McKay started the book in a kind of ‘ a child shall lead them ‘ manner. I couldn’t help but think Lani and Evelyn were closer in Evelyn’s death than in life. It was bitter sweet. The book was well written and held my complete attention. If you like books with clean romance, mystery, and tailspin’s that keep you guessing this is a read you won’t want to miss. From page one you see G-ds timing, mercy, forgiveness, and grace and most importantly His love which transcends all .....even string theory. Can’t wait to get started on the next book!
