BEYOND WORDS
This book was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. I was not the least bit surprised since Abby has a way with words and the romantic attachments that people seem to form without even knowing it.
Cat and Lucas have chemistry that is off the charts and only gets hotter as time goes by. When people correspond with each other they have a way of saying things that they have no idea how it will affect the other person. Reminds me of being young and writing letters to my boyfriend, you can always reread them and have a better understanding of the other person's feelings. Words are wonderful!
Grab some tissue because this book has all the feels and you will need several if you are like me. My bed looked like a box of Kleenex had exploded by the time I finished.
BEYOND LOVE
Abby Brooks has always had a way of creating a story when she publishes a book but in this one she has outdone even herself.
This book could easily be the life story of two families thrown together for different reasons. As we look at the Hutton family and the Lockhart family and their interactions each with the other. And yes I cried at several points in this book, that's just how real this book seems. A child's shoulders were not built to bear the weight of their parent's choices :(
The Hutton father and the Lockhart mother both seem to have a narcissistic personality. Neither care for their family as they should as they both ask their child to also handle their secret thus putting the burden of their twisted needs on them.
There is an undeniable chemistry between Kara and Wyatt but since she is only 16 he knows she is off limits. As years go by with not much contact Kara is finally of age when she reaches out to Wyatt for some guidance. She trusted him since he had saved her bacon a couple of times and the advise he had given her was solid. At that time she offered him the most precious gift she had but he refused claiming the time was not right and he would feel like he was taking advantage of her.
There is love, anger, misunderstanding, making up, treachery, unfortunate circumstances that should have kept them apart but they could not stay away from each other.
I loved this book from the first page to the last on through the Epilogue and yes Abby I cried for a couple of reasons as I read the acknowledgements. I felt a strong representation of you and Will in this book and you know the other part that made me cry ;) xoxo
I feel like I haven't been able to do justice to this book by this review but I will say it's the best Abby Brooks has EVER written, I love it and you will too so grab a copy and have some tissue close.
BEYOND NOW
Abby Brooks can write a love story that will bring you to your knees with emotion and she hit a grand slam on this one. I literally could not put this book down because well I just had to know ;)
I absolutely fell in love with Caleb and Maisy. They were perfect for each other in every way especially Caleb.
I could feel the emotions this book caused, my heart would swell with happiness and hurt when I felt things weren't going well for these love birds or at least when I thought they weren't going well because they always ended up doing what true love would do.
This was a perfect love story of two kids being friends then losing track for literally years. Then as fate would have it, running into each other again. Which only enforced Caleb's knowledge that he was in love with Maisy. But the fact that he had always said he would marry her since he was six years old was a fact that required some work. In order to get everything he needed he had to give up everything he thought he wanted.

Beyond Words - Simply amazing!! Did you ever read a book and know that on the first page you were going to fall in love with not only the characters but the story as well. This is the book that did that for me. Abby Brooks hooks you in from the opening lines and you will go through every emotion as you turn the pages. She is a masterful story teller that is so needed in this age of cookie cutter romance. The story of Cat and Lucas is filled with perfect chemistry from honest and true characters. I wish i could give this story 500 stars!! A MUST read.
Beyond Love - No relationship should be built on lies and deceit, no parent should ever intentionally hurt their children. Unfortunately Wyatt has spent his life surrounded by a father who used him, while making a family with another woman and her daughter. Wyatt and Kara despise each other, each having their own reasons, but being thrown together time and time again leads to an understanding that they both have terrible parents. But when the budding friendship leads to so much more will the truth hurt everyone around them? Can Wyatt finally find happiness with his father's mistress' daughter? Lines will be crossed and emotions run high in this wonderful Hutton Family drama. Once again Abby Brooks creates a world filled with beautifully written characters that you cannot help but fall in love with.
Beyond Now - If you want a drama and angst filled romance this is not the book for you. But if you want an honest and heartwarming book about love than look no further. What starts off as a proposal at the age of six ends with an unlikely reunion many years later. With Maisie and Caleb have living on opposite coasts, admitting that the friendship has turned into so much more is the easy part. Learning to put their happiness first can be the tricky part when emotions from their pasts are raw and not completely healed. Can love conquer all? With beautifully written characters Abby Brooks has once again created a relationship the reader cannot help but fall in love with. Completely honest and simply lovable, Maisie and Caleb have the best chance at true love.

All Amazing Books-Great Family Series
I’ve read the entire Hutton family series and I have but five words for you: Do not miss these books!
The first three books center on the oldest boys and they will both break your heart and make it sing. The Hutton family is both close knit and broken. Lucas, Wyatt and Caleb all have compelling stories that are all unique to them. They are not cookie cutter books.
All the brothers have very different love interests. From an accidental meeting, to enemies to lovers and first loves, every book will draw you in and make you fall in love with these wonderful characters. How these men overcome diversity in their lives really makes for great reads with incredible HEAs.
I absolutely loved each book as it came out. So lucky to have them all in one place for your reading pleasure!! Abby Brooks does not disappoint!!

I need more!!
This series is one I needed!!! I laughed and I cried and now I need more. The Hutton family is one I can get behind. While they all come from the same family and the same issues, they all handle them differently. So far I love them all!!!!

Loved this series. The characters were believable and the family dynamic was really wonderful. Can't wait to start the second series to see what the younger siblings will be up to. If the second series will be anything like the first I'm sure I'll love it as well. Good job Abby Brooks.

Suspending Belief
I can suspend belief up to a point to enjoy a fictional read but this one I just couldn’t as the premise was silly. DNF after 5%
