An Absolutely Awesome Story!

I really love this story of two people who after losing their loved ones have found each other and have let their hearts expand and include others into their family! This is such a heartwarming story of how a family overcomes adversity to see how important family is even if they are not blood related!

Love finds the way.

What more can you ask for? This has it all and then some. But it is not just love finds the perfect match. The people have to bend and learn to trust again. Just in real life. So go ahead and enjoy the twist and turns and pain that learning to love again we get to see in this story. ♡

Power of Love

Love is a powerful emotion. It is felt all throughout this book. A lot of tough decisions had to be made and a whole lot of forgiveness.

A little bit too much of an unrealistic happy and sappy ending with all of the loose ends tied up nicely.

I loved it! Romance isn't usually my genre of choice but I couldn't help but get caught up in a Kentucky love story, they feel like family! I thought the results of Julie's family meeting were pretty predictable but I didn't mind. I loved watching the Renfro family grow. I didn't think anything would ever make me like Heather but she turned out to be perfectly selfless and I have to admire that. A great easy read that wraps everything up nicely in a pretty (UK blue) bow
