First story of Chase and Melanie is a really good love story. The letters that Melanie and her niece Abigail send to Chase are a life savor. When he returns home he meets them in person and falls in love at first sight. Chase shows up just in time for Melanie as she has to deal with a crazy ex. Second story is Rick and Laura love story. Rick pulls her over for speeding and the fun begins as she learns to trust again Third story is a bit iffy for me. I found Steve the hero to be totally unlikable and I have no clue why Elle gave him another chance. Best part a slap from Momma Bear. Fourth story is really good as we deal with PTSD from the female prospective as Mike tries to help Zariah fight her demons. The best of the four stories. Only reason not five stars is Steve story he treated Elle like a hoe and I don't really believe his change of heart.
All the stories were good and made you think about the pain that can be felt in the heart and mind, that can transcend even physical pain! They were all short stories, but the impact made them seem longer, especially the one with Mike and Zarairah! If there were real people like Vivian and Leland, this world would be a much, much better place! These were some of this author's best works and made me think that she has some connection to the military or law enforcement! God bless our Men and Women who honorably serve their country!
For short stories they were very good! They didn’t seem rushed...the author did a great job of fleshing the stories out! The stories were well written with a few word errors but all in all very good stories! So go cop it...thank me later.
This is a series you don’t want to miss. Four Seals and the women they love. I started reading this not knowing what beautiful stories I was getting. Couldn’t put it down until I read the last story.
This was a great collection of stories. I love how the brothers get along with each other with that oh so brotherly banter. Abigail was just as cute as she could be. Each story about each brother highlighted their individual personality. But, what they all have in common is when they fall in love they know it at first sight. Their family is almost too perfect with perfect parents to boot, especially their mother who seems to rule the roost.
This series was awesome! Anytime I read marteeka's work I fall in love with the characters! In this case I love the whole family. You should pick up this book and read it. You will not be disappointed!!!
This is the first book that I've read by Ms. Kirkland. I started with a sample and HAD to buy it! After meeting the first Carver brother, there was no way I couldn't meet the rest...lol. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading others by her.
The Carver men, wow! Great storylines , I really enjoyed reading their individual stories and how their lives all interconnected. The parents were funny too.
I loved all of this series, I laughed, shed a few tears and could not help rooting for these couples. I wish I had a family like this, everyone should be so lucky
