This is an amazing book series, I absolutely feel in love with all these characters. I couldn't get enough of thier stories, they where all so amazing.
I read all these by themselves waiting patiently for the next one to come out and the was sad to say goodbye to them all. But as always I got involved with the next book with new characters and stories to read.
This is a definite must have and read series, it just to good to miss.
The first book Coming Home is about Sam a Navy Seal who is finally coming home to the man he kissed before he left Wes. It is a beautiful story about their friendship aswell as finding themselves and hopefully each other, all without Sam wanting to leave again. It was brilliant.
The second book Recipe for Love it is about Peter a struggling business owner of a dinner called Amelia's where he cooks amazing food but has an outdated dinner and now very many customers. Then enters Drew a drifter who seems a little lost but mildly happy going from place to place. He is a super talented pastry genius, when he comes to town he decides to stop for a awhile to replenish his money by getting work but not at Amelia's because it looks so run down. He goes to the new flashy cafe across the street. This is when all hell and fun begins, between Peter and his nemesis pastry genius Drew. It is an amazing book with so much entertainment in it you will love it.
Book three is Wedding Bells which is where we met Matt who is coming back for a wedding of his best friend. When he enters town he runs into Sebastian, a guy who bullied him through high school.
They clash immediately. This truely is a beautiful story with quite a few twists and turns but it is amazing to read thier journey.
Book four is Wash Away, this book made me so happy because Nick a constant character throughout the books really is to beautiful inside and out. You sit there always hoping that he will find someone special to love and love him because he really deserves it. He ends up going on a well needed holiday all the way to the beach in California, because he has never seen the ocean before and thought why not do it now. His first viewing turns into a scary situation that he jumps right into help, because thats just who he is. He mets Joel and his daughter. Then our journey with Nick begins. It really is a beautiful book andmI couldn't stop smiling while reading it because it just made me happy reading it.
So that is the four book bundle which is just to good I am enjoying reading them all again.
Go out and grab them now you will be so happy snuggled up jumping in and getting to know them all.

Great Bundle! Here are my reviews of the individual books.
Coming Home - 4 stars
I enjoyed this collaboration between Peter Styles and new author J.P. Oliver. The writing is strong, and the characters believable and relatable. My heart ached for Sam and all he suffered. Wes was a little more self-centered and not as supportive as I would have liked, but I couldn't really blame him. After all, Sam had broken his heart before. There is a lot of angst and failure to communicate in this story, and both guys need to learn to speak their minds if they want things to work out between them.
Recipe of Love - 5 stars
This is another great collaboration between J.P. Oliver and Peter Styles. It's a fantastic enemies to lovers story with a side of steamy mixed in. Mmm Mmm good! Not only do the guys really click, but some parts of the book are downright funny. I like my romance steamy with a dose of humor, and not too angsty, so this story really hit the mark for me.
Wedding Bells - 4 stars
Great enemies to lovers story. Matt Collins returns for a wedding to the home town he got away from as fast as he could after being bullied in his youth. Once back, he meets up with his former bullier and secret crush, and sparks fly, but Sebastian has a lot of work to do to make up for the past. I enjoyed the slow burn, and when things heated up, it was smoking! Loved the characters and the story. Peter and J.P. never disappoint.
Wash Away - 4 stars
I enjoyed this romance story about two men navigating their way to love and creating a new family. There is a moderate level of angst as Joel struggles with grief over his wife’s death and his new role as a single father. Janie was absolutely precious, and she becomes the catalyst to bring her Dad and Nick together, but will Joel overcome his grief and his fear of being used before he drives Nick away? Good story and strong characters.

Where to start?
Where do you start with this series? The first boom was choppy and so times difficult to follow. It might have just been me. I struggled with the book till the MC were reunited. The other books were not do choppy. The author does a decent job of character development, plot lines. I just have a problem with people falling in love in a day or three.
One other problem that was not the authors fault was the proof reading, and in a couple of areas things beta readers should have caught. Two grown men at slightly under 6' & slightly over 6' cannot physically tumble into bed while one is holding on to the bedroom doorknob. Normally I don't complain about these types of things. There were simply to many to ignore.
Did I read the complete series, yes. Did I enjoy the story lines/plots, yes. Were there passages in the books where I struggled despite rereading the passage, then the whole chapter I was wondering what I had read, yes. Will this be a series I read again, no.

Have your tissues ready, a true tearjerker. Beautifully written with lovable characters. It did jump around some and seemed contradicting in parts, but that was easily overlooked due to the heart warming storyline.
I strongly recommend.

Finding Shore is a great bundle of short stories of the Poplar Kansas series . The character are relatable and fun and the stories are enduring and entertaining. In each book we get to meet a couple ( Sam and Wes, Peter and Drew, Sebastian and Matt and finally Nick and Joel) that through hardship and fumbling come together in a sweet HEA story.

This was a really great bundle of books. I'd not read Coming Home and I really loved it. It was a great slow burn romance, which I've grown accustomed to by this author.
I'd certainly recommend this, as it's a great value for the quality of writing and stories with perfect HEA's.

These books were well thought out and seemed to have a great storyline. I really enjoyed reading these stories. I enjoy ready stories by Peter Styles. So add to him J.P. Oliver you get some very nice stories.

Coming home
This series had my attention from the first page. The characters pull you in and hold you hostage for their journey.

This is Wes and Sams story. Sam is a Navey Seal that heads back home after about a year of being away. He finally gets the chance to meet his sister in law and nephew in the prequel. In this book after Sam was called out on assignment after him and Wes first kiss he never bothered to write or even call Wes. After being gone on a mission where he was Fighting for his life only to wake up in the hospital fully conscious after being out for about a week. The thing is Sam didn't expect to servive. To see him have to fight for his relationship with Wes who by the way is totally self centered with a its all about me attitude was heartbreaking.
Peter owns Amelia’s diner and Drew is the pastry chief for the new business across the street that just so happens to be stealing Peter customers. These two don’t like each other at first, but for some reason they are drawn to each other. I received an ARC and voluntarily left a review. These two have a pretty sweet romance that at times can be really hot.
I totally love this story and if I had to pick one thing I disliked it would be that it ended. Matt comes back home for his best friend Peter’s wedding and just so happens to run into his high school crush Sebastian. I must say that this book was hard to put down so much so that I read the whole thing at once and I feel no shame in saying that I pulled an all-nighter just for the sake of not putting this book down. This story is so well written and the characters are developed so fully you can’t help but to fall in Love with not only the two main characters Matt and Seb but you fall in Love with their family and friends as well. I must say that’s not an easy feat as the one protagonist didn’t even get the chance to be disliked because he was so insignificant in the face of the pure joy and love of this story, this set of characters. I don’t think I’ve ever read a story that in the face of so much love and passion that I truly don’t have anything to complain about when it comes to the one villain that all love stories have. This is the first and I received an ARC and voluntarily left a review that unfortunately Amazon doesn’t allow more than five stars but these two authors deserve so much more for the lessons learned in this book. Love can truly conquer all, people can change for the better, family is more than just blood relatives, to face your fears straight on regardless of what you may think the outcome is and just because this is how it was done in my house growing up never go to bed angry as it leaves you restless and exhausted the next day. But most of all never let someone else’s feelings or treatment stop you from loving you, never let someone else dictate your self worth.
I must say the collaboration between these two authors has turned out to be a thing of beauty. I have loved every book in this series to date and this book about Joel a struggling single father and his daughter and Nick Who’s on a birthday trip. What he didn’t expect was to fall In love and start family. Struggling to break down the walls that are put into place to protect ones heart in order to build something new and beautifully out of the wreckage.
