Oh oh oh! I won’t spoil this one but man! in all honesty, aside from a few books that for one reason or another made me unhappy or gave me bad feelings. This series however, gives me McLeod’s Daughters vibes about 2 half sisters running the family ranch in the Outback & now with 1 book left at least audio wise of this series; I am so not ready to leave Sutton Station & all it’s beautiful family of characters, found & biological. So moving forward let’s see what book 4 has for me! Listening via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

I know why so many of my online bookish friends love this author. Anyway,  love Sutton Station & looking forward to reading more about this place. Listening via Hoopla Harrison Memorial/Carmel

Oh I now understand completely why everyone in my main book club absolutely loves this book. Personally, I don’t care for the enemies-to-lovers trope but every so often I’m surprised by a new to me author & how they constructed the story. I am really enjoying Glen Lloyd’s narration & the life he brings to each book. Now, on to whichever one next… maybe a series like Red Dirt Heart. Listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

Oh this was fun! Pottery, youngin’s & oldies, and Ghost 💜 listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

Phew 😅 I thought this story might be a 3 star for me but! it wasn’t 💜 there was 1 thing I felt was a disservice to the character & the reader & it was the fact that the words chosen for Braithe’s response to Colson’s story about his his former family disowning him; I believe (based on my own experiences & learning) that he enabled Colson in his wallowing, instead of being the listening ear & drawing the line for Colson & then he wouldn’t have floundered for so long afterward. It’s unfortunate bc I’ll not be adding this series to my buy list after all. I’ll keep listening & reading as much of Walker’s backlist as I can but I’m disappointed that I was let down by 2 books of this wonderful small town overall. Listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

As of this ending to this book, it was well worth 5 stars but it lost 1 bc the whole ending & epilogue didn’t sit well with me honestly & IMHO also didn’t hold true with the series up until this one. Anyway, wasn’t a waste of time, again my opinion & I definitely did appreciate Gunter’s age & his relationship with Carl? ugh 😑 my brain retention can be the worst sometimes 😂 listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

Ooh this one was so good! Listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

Yep. A great start to this quartet of Hartbridge Christmas series. Now on to book 2! Listened via Hoopla Harrison Memorial 

Second Chance romance for two men who were childhood friends. Not all authors can get this double/triple trope right in a way that doesn’t feel dismissive or disrespectful to the characters. And what a finale for a great series overall including the trilogy that for the best read through ought to be read first IMHO. Listened via Anyplay.

MMM! I have enjoyed this series & each one had its angst filled circumstances, sometimes within the main relationship & others outside of it. I’m about to start the final book & leave Brighton Beach for the first time. Listened via Anyplay.
