What a sweet story! But then

Friends becoming 'more'. So cute! The author, Leah Atwood, said she'd been waiting to tell this story for 2 years. I was waiting, too. :-) What a sweet story! You can't really go wrong with a Leah Atwood story, can you? Sweet. Clean. Inspirational. Full of faith and the hope of restoration, and finding love - again. So GOOD to meet up with sweet friends from a couple of other books/series. Yeah, Bryce and Sophie Landry, Luke and Kate Tatum! So glad I found this author's books a couple of years ago and I've pretty much read them all. Plus, I love the audio versions, listening to them over and over again. Never yet regretted reading a story by Mrs. Atwood.

Moving story

Conquering fear is a central theme that weaves this story together as friends move through grief and discover the freedom that is found in letting go and trusting God. Not only that, it was fun to read.

Learning to Love Again

Janie lost her beloved husband in a military helicopter crash. His military brothers have watched over her, but will she ever be able to love again? Great characters and clean storyline.

Sweet Second Chance

Warm story about a young widow of a beloved Marine. The "Brothers" rallied around to look after the fallen team mates wife. A wonderful love story developed. Another Leah Atwood winner!

Could not stop reading!

Evan and Janie.. this was so good. When a door closes another opens in time. Love wins over all and opens us up for a great adventure.
