I did not realize when I started the book that it was a 3 in one. So surprising. Loved each and every story. The best part was that it was a clean read . Each portion tied into the next extremely well and the finish tied up the story so I knew the outcome of all characters.

These take place in Idaho. The stories involve one family finding love. Two of the stories focus on a restaurant owned by the Quinn family, and the other focuses on music. Each story builds on the previous story. The stories that I liked are about people coming home, and one is a second chance romance.
It was so nice to read these three enjoyable books. A wonderful family saga. A nice change and difficult to put down, I needed to find out about the next Quinn family adventure would be interwoven. A great novel with a few twists and turns.
I loved reading these books in this series about the Quinn Family it was such a great book all three of the family stories. Everyone will enjoy reading this book I sure did.
Great story. I love how the author throws out the names of wines to pair with certain dishes. I used to love to cook and all of the books I have read have great sounding meals in the story. I think the author should consider writing a recipe book. Listing recipes from all of the books. I would particularly love the lobster quiche recipe! Plus, I think it was the first book that shared a recipe I need to copy down on my computer.
You can count on Pamela to give you a nice lovely read! She makes simple and easy seem effortless and charming. There's just enough spice, thrill, and charm in her characters that brings them to life! Very enjoyable read!
The story lines of each book keep my interest. I was happy to have them work out with. Happy endings. A good series to read when the news in the world was dealing with the co 19 virius

It's like a Hallmark movie wrapped up in a book with three stories where the characters lives' are intertwined. With everything negative going on in the world, I enjoy escaping into a "they lived happily ever after" book every once in a while, especially while I'm reading something more emotionally heavy and dense.
I love books with lots of family relationships,and this book had it all going on. Ryder and Bethany's story didn't have a lot of substance. Very predictable. They storylines improved greatly
What a delight to read. I loved the author putting three different stories about members of the same family in one book, yet each story was complete within itself. this book is clean, no bad language and easy to read. The author is to be commended for writing without using inappropriate language or descriptions of sexual activity. I will read more of Ms. Kelley's book. Thanks so much.
This a very good book. I enjoyed reading all three stories. Ryder and Bethany, Charlie and Maggie and David and Hannah are very lovable characters. Even Marcia had a great storyline. Nice and romantic. Nothing too overboard and very realistic.
