Lawrence Family #2
Fixer Upper Love
Garrison Lawrence has done his job raising his three girls following the death of his wife. Now that his daughters are grown and successful, the only thing he has left is his contracting business buying and flipping properties to occupy his time.
Although he swore after his wife’s untimely passing that he would never commit himself to another woman, Garrison begins to rethink his decision. Witnessing his daughter fall in love leaves him yearning for companionship beyond the occasional trysts to satisfy his carnal needs.
Divorcée Madeline “Maddie” Redmond is eager for a fresh start in a new city. Leaving behind heartache, she’s ready to move on with her life without a man in it. The only way she knows how to do this is to immerse herself in her work as a behavioral health specialist.
A romantic entanglement isn’t what she’s looking for when she meets Garrison Lawrence, her landlord. When she learns he’s a widower, Madeline allows her heart to open up to the possibility of something special.
What starts off as a blossoming relationship is shattered by ghosts from the past. Will Garrison and Madeline be able to find love a second time around?

He and she find forever
Garrison is a hard working entrepreneur who thought he was a confirmed Batchelor. Madeline is a therapist that knows she is a work in progress. This is a complicated story of over 40year Olds who realized they are destined for more. Each has a past that helps them to see how much they need each other. Great read from a great author..

Seasoned Love!!!
I had been hoping that Garrison would get his own story from the time that I read the first book in this series. That wish finally came true. Garrison is a widower who is not looking to fall in love again and Maddie is coming out of a bad relationship when they first meet. From the very beginning, chemistry flowed between them. As they got to know each other, both of them realized that they had to deal with their pasts in order for them to have a future together. I really enjoyed the way this story was told. The family dynamics especially with Sammie, the love and chemistry between Garrison and Maddie and the drama all made this a very satisfying book to read.

Book 2 about Mature Love
I liked the way the author spoke the truth about how love and aging gracefully are possible. Because a couple is fifty, it does not mean sexy isn't possible. The couple in this tale had grown children and family drama to boot. I was not a fan of the oldest daughter; she wasn't likable. Overall, the story was a good read.

Wow! This book is the sweetest mature love stories I have read. Garrison and Maddie were meant to fall in love. Romance mixed with everyday human flaws, mistakes, disagreement and makeup moments hold your interest from the first chapter. You will be in love and awe with this beautiful story. Nancy and Thelma are two of the funniest characters in Fixer Upper Love. Suzette Riddick nails this five star studded romance book.

Sweet Love
I enjoyed this story about two mature adults who found love at a time in their lives when they didn’t think it would ever happen again. Garrison Lawrence, a widowed father of three grown daughters and a granddaughter. Couldn’t take his mind off of Madeleine , a divorcée with a somewhat checkered past ,who also had a grown daughter. Garrison and Madeleine both wrestled with the things of their Past and the events that were every present in the lives of their adult children.
The author took the reader on a realistic journey with these two as the tried to make it to HEA in the mist of unexpected ups and downs

Wow
Suzette Riddick is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint. I am so happy authors are being to write books with more mature main characters. There was just enough drama and a few surprises. I am looking forward to reading Sammie's story. I hope Barney get a story too.

Fixer Upper Love
This was a love story about Madeline Redwood and Garrison Lawrence. They met because he fixed up houses to rent or sell and she and her daughter were in the market for a home. Their attraction was instantaneous and soon they were on their first date. From the date led to their happily ever after.

Mature and sensual love!
After reading, "Forever Yours" I had to read "Fixer Upper Love". I enjoy the author's works and I am pleased and entertained with each book that I read. I enjoy the link of characters from other books and series. I get a feeling of family completeness catching up on previous characters. Anticipating reading, " Finally Yours"!

Mature love
I enjoyed the book for several reasons- they were mature, he wasn’t exactly rich and worked with his hands, they both had to climb over obstacles and the portrayal of family. I look forward to Sammie’s story.

Madeline Redmond and Garrison Lawrence were just what they needed. Sammie is getting the help she needs and Joey and Alex can relax when around their sister. I can't wait for the instalment of The Lawrence Family.
