Another fabulous installment in this series, and it finishes it so well, the third of the Fraser sons Trystan, celebrity TV star, and will he find his HEA in the fabulous Raven’s Cove.
Cloe Vance has been through a very tough time, losing her sister was hard but she is finally allowed to leave The States and that means she can get to meet her niece and make sure that she is being well looked after, she is broke, homeless and unemployed but determined to get to Raven’s Cove and meet Storm.
Trystan returned to Raven’s Cove with the death of his father and his new partner, him and his brothers are left in charge of Ravens’ Cove and more importantly their sister Storm, they have put a lot in place these last few months and he is loving his little sister, but there has always been the worry of Storm’s Aunt showing up and when she does Trystan is shocked at his attraction to Cloe.
Trystan needs to get to know Cloe and make sure she is not going to take Storm from them. Cloe is working for Trystan on one of the tour boats and the chemistry between them sizzles so hot, can they have a secret short fling because Trystan wants to get back to his filming nature and well Cloe needs to think about her future, she is more than happy to see that Storm is well loved and cared for.
I loved Trystan and Cloe’s story it is filled with sensual emotion and had me turning the pages, I was cheering them on and of course the setting is just beautiful meeting up with the Fraser family was so good, this story has so much going for it and I highly recommend it to any lover of a good romance, this one left me smiling.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book, given to me by Tule Publishing via BookFunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
An outdoorsman with a nerd side and a protective streak, and a gentle, caring woman with abandonment issues, feature in “Wanting a Family Man”, the last story on Dani Collins series about the Fraser siblings and their families and friends.
It was great to return to Raven’s Cove, read Trystan and Cloe’s story and meet again the amazing characters and relationships forged in the previous installments.
The leads are such compelling individuals: Trystan has a celebrity status but is the most laid-back individual.
I loved the heroine, Cloe. She’s been through so much and is so strong, despite her fragilities. The senses of abandonment, loneliness, inadequacy, and of being unnecessary, were amazingly written.
It’s heartwarming to watch the understanding, friendship and love enveloping her despite the initial concerns and even Trystan’s wariness.
I loved the dialogue, the banter, the affection between the characters, and how the youngsters – precious Storm, Biyen – have their own personality, too.
I will miss these characters and this beautiful place.

Wanting a Family Man is the final book in Dani Collins terrific trilogy, Ravens Cove. The series is about the 3 sons of Wilf Fraser. Wilf and his fiancée were killed in a small plane crash on their way to Las Vegas to get married. They left their infant daughter Storm with the nanny, Emma. The brothers were called back to their home in Ravens Cove to care for the baby and ready the resort for sale. They were estranged from their father and each other. The sons had different mothers adding to the relationship difficulties. Each book featured a different son and this is Trystan’s story.
Trystan Fraser is the youngest son and has a successful adventure series on television. He put his career on hold to return and do his share. Each brother took on responsibilities to help get the resort running. His was to head up the luxury tours on the cruise ships their father had purchased. He is a loner by choice but has stepped up and is working with others to help.
It was initially known that the baby’s mother has a sister Cloe, who is in protective custody and unable to be contacted. She was supposed to come and help with the baby but due to legal problems was unable to come to Ravens Cove. Everyone was worried she would show up and want to take custody of Storm and Emma and the oldest brother were trying to do it. Finally, one day she was able to make the trip to see her niece. Her appearance upset everyone as they didn’t know if she wanted to take the baby or get money. We learn that she is totally broke and has been through a horrible ordeal. Her ex boyfriend and his father were arrested for crimes they tried to implicate her in. Luckily she was found innocent and released. She had worked for the dad and lived with the son and so her income and home were gone. She assures the family that she is not trying to take away Storm but to get to know her niece.
The brothers decide Trystan will hire her to work on the boat trips. This will allow him to keep an eye on her, give her a job and a place to live. Cloe and Trystan get to know each other on the boat and become very attracted to each other. Both know it isn’t something they can pursue and neither is able to have a relationship at this time. The family includes Cloe in meals at the house so she can spend time with baby Storm. Finally the couple kisses and acknowledge the strong chemistry. After they give into their desires, they agree to keep this a secret. What will happen to the relationship after a series of events happen to put stress on things?
This was such a fabulous addition to the series. Dani did a wonderful job wrapping everything up. I loved all the characters. The couples all went together so well. Everyone was genuinely nice and overcame their past problems. The relationship between the brothers was such a happy change from the opening scenes in book one. They all grew and became real brothers. Cloe also gained confidence and became a beloved part of the family. It was sad to say goodbye to Ravens Cove as I thoroughly enjoyed all the stories. It was fun to see everyone five years in the future at the end of the book. This is a five star book I heartily recommend.
I was fortunate to receive an ARC of this book from Tule Publishing Company in exchange for my honest review.

Third and final in Dani Collins’ Raven’s Cove series, Wanting A Family Man brings reader back to the small Raven’s Cove community on an isolated island in Victoria, Canada. Tis series is best read sequentially so that you get the nuances of family relationships, though the story is enjoyable as a stand-alone read. Here, we meet Cloe Vance, whose sister Tiffany died in a plane crash with her fiancé Wilf Fraser when they were on their way to Las Vegas to get married. Cloe has had a tough time of it leading up to her arrival in Raven’s Cove, dead tired and broke. I just wanted to hug her and make things better for her. Unfortunately, that was not the reception she received when she arrived on Reid and Emma’s doorstep asking to see Storm, her baby niece. There are so many family dynamics at play here. The Fraser boys and their significant others all want to protect Storm at all costs and suspicion rolls off their shoulders in waves. Cloe just wants to meet her only remaining family and through Storm, connect with her dead sister. Her vulnerability is on show for all to see. Her character is beautifuly crafted and I loved the way she willingly pitched in to help whenever the opportunity presented itself. Under the vulnerability, she clearly has a great deal of determination. Youngest Fraser son Trystan is another great character and a perfect match for Cloe. Despite his fame, he, too, is vulnerable. Unknown to his brothers, he’s broke, having sunk all his money into saving Taven’s Cove from bankruptcy. He’s torn between loyalty to his family and loyalty to the people who depend on his films for their own livelihoods. His romance with Cloe is not, on paper, a good move for either of them, but it’s not long before we see just how well they nurture each other. It doesn’t hurt that the sizzle between them is off the page. This story is such a great read and it also completes the series nicely. I loved it.

Dani Collins never fails to deliver. This is the final book in the series Raven's Cove and it neatly wraps up the series.
A little backstory first, three brothers are summoned back to the tiny coastal village they had spent parts of their childhood on the lovely Pacific coast of western Canada. All three brothers share the same father but different brothers. They are called back when their father unexpectedly dies in an accident on his way to get married again. They are all shocked to discover their new baby sister and dealing with the mess left behind.
Each of the brothers has left behind their own independent successful careers to figure out what will be the best plan for being guardians for their baby sister and straightening their father's mess. Trystan has always found comfort in the wilderness and has built a career in front of the camera as a host of a survival type show.
All three brothers have known that their baby sister's mother, who died in the same accident as their father, had a younger sister. All that they know about Cloe is that they have not been able to contact her and that somehow law enforcement is involved. So when Cloe shows up in Raven Cove, all of the brothers are instantly on alert.
Cloe has her own unique backstory and it slowly comes out as Trystan and Cloe start to work together and realize that they actually do have a lot in common and are meant to be together. Of course there bumps and misunderstanding along the way. But it is a wonderful escape to a wild place I would love to go and visit.
Although this book is the last one in a series, it can be read out of order. It stands up on its own and is an independent story. But I personally liked reading this series in order.
I did receive a copy of this book from the publisher, Tule, in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

The author takes us back to Raven’s Cove and this time, the story belongs to Trystan Fraser, a man famous for his survival tv show.
Raven’s Cove was not a happy place for the three Fraser brothers. All with the same father, but different mothers. Their relationship with their father was not the best and nowadays, Raven’s Cove is still not a place of happy memories. Especially, not with their father nor the fragile relationship between them. They are successful men, but their childhood left emotional scars.
When their father dies, he leaves behind their sister Storm, an infant, as well as a struggling resort. This forces them to be brought together to Raven’s Cove in order to fulfill the will’s demands.
None of them felt they would ever have a real relationship, but it seems that at least for the older two, love is possible.
When Trystan comes face to face with a new visitor, in town, he feels an immediate attraction. Not that he ever expected to see her again. Little did he know that Cloe Vance, is there to meet her niece Storm. Even with no money, and homeless, Cloe wants to be sure Storm gets to learn about her mother.
Once Cloe starts working for the brothers a sort of relationsihp starts with Trystan. But she knows it can go no where.
What happens when feelings develop but later are shattered? Will Cloe leave Raven’s Cove for good and only come to visit Storm on occasion, or will these two realize that taking a chance in life and love will bring them together?
This is a story about family, even a fractured one. It’s also a story about second chances in life and love.
Loved the epilogue as it tights up the series.

With this final book in the Raven’s Cove trilogy, I feel that the author found a great rhythm and the perfect voice for these characters. While I enjoyed the previous books, this one was my favorite. Cloe and Trystan have a fantastic connection, and the overall family unit is cohesive and working as a true family by the end.
There are so many ways that the Fraser brothers could have reacted to Cloe showing up at their doorstep, yet they ultimately chose kindness. They truly want what is best for their baby sister so they give Cloe a chance to prove herself. Cloe had a very rough life, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a good person. In fact, she proves herself to be an exception person. She has a strong work ethic, she’s loyal and caring, she’s bright and perceptive of others. Cloe is the whole package and she proves that almost immediately.
Trystan needs to figure out what he really wants to do with his life. Then he needs to speak his truth to his brothers instead of letting them assume things about him. (I will admit that if you haven’t read the previous books this one may not hit the same way for you. There is some backstory given, but you’ll get a much better picture of the lives of this family if you read the previous books.) Trystan and Cloe open up to each other in ways they aren’t able to with anyone else. There is a trust that they just intrinsically feel with one another. Not to say they don’t make some mistakes along the way, but it’s always well-intentioned.
I love that this family found their happiness. Not only with their significant others but also within themselves. This story was a wonderful way to end this series.

Wanting a Family Man by Dani Collins, book three in the Raven’s Cove series, is a wonderful conclusion to Fraser brothers’ stories; featuring an outdoorsman with a nerd side and a protective streak, and a gentle, caring woman with abandonment issues. Cloe Vance has been through a very tough time, losing her sister was hard, but she is also broke, homeless and unemployed; determined to get to Raven’s Cove and meet Storm, her niece. Finally she is allowed to leave the U.S. so she can finally meet her niece and make sure that she is being well looked after.
Trystan Fraser is the youngest son and has a successful adventure series on television. He put his career on hold to return and help his brothers. Each brother took on responsibilities to help get the resort running. His was to head up the luxury tours on the cruise ships their father had purchased. He is a loner by choice but has stepped up and is working with others to help. There has always been the worry of Storm’s Aunt showing up and when she does Trystan is shocked at his attraction to Cloe.
The brothers decide Trystan will hire her to work on the boat trips. This will allow him to keep an eye on her, give her a job and a place to live. As Cloe and Trystan get to know each other on the boat, they become very attracted to each other as the chemistry they share sizzles and sparks. Both know they should not pursue this connection as neither is able to have a relationship at this time. The family includes Cloe in meals at the house so she can spend time with baby Storm. When Trystan needs to get back to filming his nature show Cloe needs to figure out what her future her will be. It might take a miracle for these two to get their HEA.

Wanting a Family Man~Raven's Cove #3 by Dani Collins.
Blurb:
He prefers his own company. She longs for family…
I have been following this series from the start, they're amazing. (you need to be read in order, you can follow the series:))
Wanting a Family Man is Trystan Fraser and Cloe Vance's story and the final book in the series. As we follow on from the previous two books we find the brothers working on the house their father left into a presentable building while looking after their half-baby sister Storm.
Cloe is Storm's aunt and the brothers are a little wary of her as they do not know her or her intentions.
Trystan doesn't trust Cloe and has no intention of falling in love, nor does Cloe.
I found this book to be written extremely well, the characters are brilliant and you fall in love with them from the start. They just seemed to come alive with each page that was turned.
The storyline is strong and I liked that it continued with each book and did not falter.
I highly recommend this book to all, I guarantee you will enjoy this wonderful series from Dani.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read, Happily Ever After, Inspirational, Original, Page-turner, Romantic, Realistic, and Wonderful characters

Wanting a Family Man is Trystan Fraser and Cloe Vance's story and the final book in the series. As we follow on from the previous two books we find the brothers working on the house their father left into a presentable building while looking after their half-baby sister Storm.
Cloe is Storm's aunt and the brothers are a little wary of her as they do not know her or her intentions.
Trystan doesn't trust Cloe and has no intention of falling in love, nor does Cloe.
I found this book to be written extremely well, the characters are brilliant and you fall in love with them from the start. They just seemed to come alive with each page that was turned.
The storyline is strong and I liked that it continued with each book and did not falter.
I highly recommend this book to all, I guarantee you will enjoy this wonderful series from Dani.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read, Happily Ever After, Inspirational, Original, Page-turner, Romantic, Realistic, and Wonderful characters

This is book 3 in the Raven's Cove series. It could be read as a stand alone but you won't want to miss the other brother's stories. Cloe Vance comes to Raven's Cove to see her baby niece. Storm was her sister's daughter and is being raised by her father's family. Both Storm's parents are dead. The isolation of Raven’s Cove inspired the wilderness survival series that made Trystan famous. He refused to return until the unexpected death of his father forces him to help his estranged half-brothers refurbish the resort, hoping to secure a future for their infant half-sister. When Storm’s aunt arrives, for once the brothers are aligned…and scared. Does she want Storm or money?
Trystan’s tasked with discovering her motives by hiring Cloe to help with the week-long whale watching excursions. Their chemistry sizzles, yet Trystan resists behaving like his philandering father. In the fall, he’s returning to his globetrotting career. Cloe is a temptation he doesn’t need, but can she teach him that home is where the heart is? All the previous characters are very active in the story and it's a satisfying conclusion for this series.

Wanting a Family Man by Dani Collins
Story starts with Cloe who's arrived on the island to check in on her sisters daughter.
The family had wondered what took her so long but she only opened up to Trystan, one of the Fraser men who's holding the family and company together. He also opens up to her to tell some of his past secrets.
Good thing she watched his survival skills as one a trek she had fallen off the trail and injured her ankle. She had to stay there while he went for help, for hours. When they return to the village he breaks it off and she moves on to visit her real father in the states. Love time Cloe gets to spend with Storm, such a cutie and full of fire. So much reminds her of her sister. She still hides secrets from others. Love how this all comes together at the end. Adult situations.
Love nature and how the family interacts with one another, precious.
Received this review copy from Tule Publishing and this is my honest opinion.

I just loved this emotion filled, family driven story, the third in Dani’s fabulous Raven’s Cove series. Trystan Fraser returned to Raven’s Cove after the death of his father reuniting with his estranged half brothers and baby sister. Cloe Vance is broke, unemployed and homeless but determined to see her niece and ensure she is loved, safe and happy. Trystan and Cloe’s relationship develops into lust when they start working together on week-long whale watching excursions. I loved these two together, they are both so determined to make better decisions for themselves but they both have so much baggage that it was inevitable they would fall for each other. I adored this series and reading this last book is sad but it makes me happy to see Trystan and Cloe’s relationship growing and the other brothers from the previous books all evolving and growing their sibling relationships. This one will make you laugh, cry and shed a tear it’s that good.

Dani Collins delivers another wonderful book in this series. My only complaint is that this is the last book. These characters have captured my heart and felt like family. The author did her job. Trystan’s story is just as good as the rest. He wasn’t without his issues like the other brothers, but his character arc is one of growth and satisfaction for the reader. Close was the underdog. I was fighting for her throughout the whole book. She was so tough, but she just had to realize it. This book was well written with great conflict. The beautiful descriptions of the settings was one of the best parts of the books. I will miss this series. I loved the closure the epilogue provided to us though. The characters started out a little broken at the beginning of the series, but it was great to know all the characters healed and came together as family in the end.

Wanting a Family Man by Dani Collins is the third brother’s story in the Raven's Cove Series. Trystan Fraser is the famous brother, so he is wary of anyone who comes around especially one who claims to be the aunt of baby Storm. Not only is Cloe Vance not a celebrity, but she is also homeless and broke.
Two people who have had struggling pasts but are on different paths, these two seem doomed from the beginning. There are lessons to be learned and growth to be had for both of these characters. I like that in a story. I also like how no matter how any of the family feels about the late father they all pull together for the good of the little one.

**Goodreads winner and leaving my opinion on my free will**
This is the first romance novel I have ever read, and it did not disappoint. I loved how Dani Collins brought the characters to life. The love story between Trystan and Cloe is relatable in so many ways. You find the love of your life; however, it is not the right time in your life. But, LOVE always wins. When Cloe discovers that her sister has passed away, she is determined to be reunited with her niece. Not only did she find her niece but Cloe was able to find love. If you are looking to indulge in a story with twists and turns this is for you.

Book 3 of 3 in the "Raven's Cove" series. Cloe Vance was in trouble with the law, through no fault of her own, when she found out her sister died and that her niece, Storm, was going to be taken care of through the sons of her sister's husband. She meets the Storm's uncles and aunts, who are taking care of her to ensure everything is okay. Trystan Fraser was one of the uncles and her celebrity crush, and he didn't trust Cloe not to take baby Storm away. They all needed to trust that they had little Storm's well-being to come first.

All good things must come to an end and I thoroughly enjoyed each installment of the Raven's Cove trilogy. Although each book can be read as standalones centered around a different Fraser boy falling in love, I suggest reading them in order to fully appreciate the family and Raven Cove dynamics. This third in the series is a powerful and satisfying conclusion. I do hope that we get to visit Storm and her development sometime. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

An enjoyable story of two who although have different lives and paths, come together for something they both have in common, their niece. Cloe wants to see her niece and travels to Raven’s Cove, knowing she may not be welcomed. Trystan is somewhat a loner yet he is drawn to Cloe. I did like the history Dani included of the northwest part of British Columbia and its people. A good romance that will make your heart happy.

This is such a great addition to the Raven’s Cove series. Wonderful to catch up with the characters and what is going on with baby Storm since she lost her parents. The storyline has Storm’s Aunt Cloe coming to the cove to meet her niece. And Cleo’s circumstances just pulled at my heart strings, not to mention how this author can write characters so real you just feel you really know them and are rooting for them.

I enjoyed Dani Collin's past books in the Raven's Cove series and the newest book Wanting a Family Man didn't disappoint me. Loved reading the story of Chloe Vance, Tiffany's sister coming to Raven's Cove and meeting Storm and the family. The family dynamics and storyline just pulled me in.

A sweet story of love in the making but in secret. At risk is the family ire because the female involved, Cloe, is the aunt of the baby three brothers are protecting from her. One of the brothers, Trystan, is enamored by Cloe and fighting it. The battle for love creates a delicious story.

This is the third and final book in this series. I have loved everything about this series, but I think this book was my favorite. There was just something about Trystan and Cloe’s story that pulled me in. I was hooked from the very first chapter. I am sad that this series has come to an end.

Love reading about Trystan and Cloe how their relationship grows into love and reading about where they are living and working together and how they deal with it. And reading more about Reid, Emma, Storm, Logan and Sophie. Love how Dani writes about where they are living and working as I read I could see it and that kept me reading and love the ending !

This is the third book in the series and I read this as a stand alone. Overall was a good story and will definitely be going to read the first two. Hopefully the first two will be as good as the third one even though I am going to read them out of order.

This story is a perfect example of a family of the heart and not of blood. I was so excited to get another book in this series and it did not disappoint!
