Finding Closure
The final installment of the Bluebird Bay series...
Fallyn Rappaport has found her home in Bluebird Bay. She’s got a true partner in David Shaw, and has made friends who have become like family. But she won’t be truly satisfied until she figures out what happened to the pirate Lopez’s treasure, once and for all. Will she strike out again, or will this be the time she finally strikes gold?
This should be the happiest time in Max’s life. She’s engaged to be married to the man of her dreams, after all. But her father’s involvement in the murder of a local girl decades before has come to light, and it’s rocking this small town…and Max’s world. Journalists, reporters, and even neighbors are following her every move. Seems like everybody wants of a piece of her. She can’t help but wonder if, by the time this is all over, there will be any of her left…
When a mysterious stranger comes to stay at Molly’s bed and breakfast, she can’t believe her luck. Griff brings a sense of adventure to her quiet life, and better yet? He seems to like her as much as she likes him. Finding love in her sixties seems like a dream come true. But when she learns that her man of mystery might be hiding a dark secret, will this dream become a nightmare?

The perfect ending
I tried to stall my reading as much as I could, but Christine Gael has this knack of writing stories that gets me so hooked that stalling wasn’t on the menu.
From the treasure hunt started in the previous couple books to a mature love story, and the return to the Sullivan sisters and their children, the series is perfectly wrapped up.
This sentence from the book will stay with me: “The Sullivan sisters were made of stern stuff, to be sure. But what truly held them together was love. Their love for each other and for their families.”
Amen to that and thanks to Christine Gael for completing so brilliantly what she and Denise Grover Swank had started some years ago.

Conclusion to an amazing series!
No stones are left unturned and no questions left unanswered and my heart broke a wee bit to say goodbye to some of my favorites in this series.
While I am aware that some still pop up and interact in the Cherry Blossom Point series it was terrible to say goodbye to this one.
Ms. Gael writes these beautiful characters that even though they go through life’s most heinous trials, they remain down to earth and family oriented even as their morality is tested often and tragically.
I can honestly say these books are incredible and are family friendly and I absolutely recommend adding them to your library because you will be reading them often just to touch base with the friends you make here.

Perfect Closure for this Beautiful Series
I highly recommend reading this entire series from the beginning. I promise that you will fall in love with the Sullivan sisters, their family, and all of their friends.
This book is the last in the series and I will admit to crying happy tears at the beautiful ending. I also feel as if I said goodbye to some best friends. This is a series that I will definitely revisit.
I highly recommend that you read all of the Bluebird Bay books.

The Perfect Ending
Christine Gael does not disappoint. This is the last book in the Bluebird Bay series. I have loved every book starting with Book 1. Her characters are three sisters and their families. All of the books have happy endings, but they have all had to overcome some obstacles! Bluebird Bay depicts life I small town America. This last book even contains suspense and buried treasures. I have also read most of her Cherry Point series which brings a Sullivan sister into the mix. I look forward to her next books. I know it won't disappoint!

The great finally of one of my favorite series
Bluebird Bay has become my home as I have read the series, and the Sullivan sisters and all they experienced made them "family" over time. So many changes and so many situations throughout the book and the author wrapped up with a great ending that brought all the main characters into a place where they had overcome so many obstacles. Certainly I could read on and on but I think I good author knows how to wrap up the links to a reasonable conclusion. She did this well, though I will miss them.

Happy Ending
I am a sucker for a happy ending, and this latest installment of the trials of the Sullivan sisters hit the mark. While the story had several new characters, the mainstay of this series has always been the love and support these sisters demonstrate through good and bad times. I also enjoyed the growing extended family and their many adventures. A bit sad to think this is the last book in the Bluebird Bay Series…or maybe not!

Life is challenging
If you’re looking to experience the beauty of a small town and the love and challenges of family, check out this series and visit with the Sullivan Sisters. Get to know CeCe and her children Gabe and Macy.
Get to know Stephanie and her crew and then there is Anna the youngest of the Sullivan Sisters.
I promise you will not want to put these books down and that you will feel like you are a part of their lives.

Love this
Christine Gael has become one of my favorite authors since I read a series shared with Denise Grover Swank years ago. She writes a genre that I don't usually read but I love her series. After several months of searching for a treasure Fallyn, David, and Gage make great progress and in the process they meet an interesting man. The fallout continues from Cee-Cee's ex and his involvement in a crime. So much is wrapped up in this book.

Bluebird Bay Series was amazing
I read the entire twelve book series of Blueberry Bay within three weeks. A range of tragedies, happy occasions, relationships than begin with hesitancy and grow into forever after; it's all here as well as emotions that are relatable. I would recommend this series to everyone who likes adventure, romance, and u forgettable characters. Bravo to Christine Gael!

Finding Closure
Book 12 is the last book in the Bluebird Bay series. I enjoyed every book in this series. It is filled with interesting characters that are real and their experiences are real life -- good, bad, happy, and sad.

Great series
I really enjoyed this series. It was nice to read about more mature women and more down to earth characters. I don’t usually commit to buying all the books in a series but I was hooked on this one. Loved them all!

Be sure to read the whole series. I love it when characters from book 1 continue through the series as their story continues. New characters were introduced in a way that made sense. I really enjoyed getting to know the family. Next up Cherry Blossom Point series.

a pirate he’s not.
The first chapter is really funny. It’s very understated and very clever. I love this story It all ended up quite well with a few stumbles along the way and imagine the outcome.

I'm sad to see this series end but I have enjoyed every minute of the ride. Christine Gael is a phenomenal writer! I have read everything she has written and I swear she just keeps getting better and better! I loved everything about the characters in this book. She makes you feel like your part of the family. A must read!
