Lori Foster’s The Somerset Girls was a book I dearly needed and I didn’t even realize it. I needed to be transported into a lovely, small town where despite gossiping busy bodies, there is a real sense of community. I needed to watch two sisters grow in their love for one another while helping each other through life changes. I needed to watch those sisters realize that despite their parent’s faults they were loved deeply by them. I needed to see a single dad vow to transform his young daughter’

I loved this story if these two sisters. I connected with Autumn her love of reading and working on the farm. I wished she was my sister. Sadie was so cute. The two romances were icing on the cake for me. This was a great light summer read. I highly recommend it.
Like the rest of the world, coping through this pandemic can be a little overwhelming for me. I was in desperate need of a read to lift my spirits. Just a book that would make me feel a little better, a little happier, a little safer. Thanks to The Somerset Girls, I got my escape with this feel good read full of lush writing and a full and loveable cast of characters.

"No one knows you quite like a sister"...
True, I suppose, but I don't have any sisters as I'm the only girl with all brothers so it's hard for me to wrap my mind around this comment.
I also had difficulty with this book as it didn't seem to stir up anything within me nor peak my interest.
It did flow well, it was well written, but it was missing that flavor that peaked into that next level for women's fiction.

This was a cute and heartwarming read! I enjoyed reading about Ember and Autumns story on their journey of finding love and happiness. However, this wasn’t really anything special! The relationships were underdeveloped and the storylines were rushed especially near the end. However, I adored the relationship between the sisters. The sisterhood and the bond that they shared was truly special. I also loved the relationship that Autumn formed with the hero’s daughter.

This is Lori Foster's third book, that has a love story for the main and the second characters. It was a nice read. I just wished that we had more from Ember and Mike's story, continued in the book.

I am not sure what everyone else read, but I read a very different book. I did not enjoy any of it. Okay, I loved the little girl and the animal rescue, but the rest... not at all. I even had to stop listening at times. I got to chapter 7 and wanted to throw my phone on the ground and stomp it into a million pieces. Most people in this book are not likable. Not even a little bit. Autumn is sweet and kind, but needs some self confidence and a backbone. She just sits back and lets life happen and

This was a charming read! Family and relationship dynamics are always fascinating to me and I loved seeing the similarities/contrasts with sisters, Ember and Autumn. Mike and Tash, respectively, were perfect romantic matches for Ember and Autumn, although I felt Ember and Mike’s relationship was put in for an easy wrap-up to their ending.

Sisters Autumn and Ember Somerset work together, live side-by-side in a duplex-style home, and hang out together in their free time. Autumn is a designer, Ember is a builder. Both sisters also run an animal rescue on their family farm, which they inherited from their grandparents.

The Somerset Girls is a light, easy, read- perfect for a lazy weekend afternoon. Although my sister and I no longer have a relationship, it’s nice to read about ones like Autumn and Ember- opposites who may not agree on everything but are always there for each other, no matter what. I liked the way they bantered, but still had the other’s back when needed- especially Ember. She didn’t hold back when it came to wanting Autumn to step out of her comfort zone, but she was also the first one the ...more

I have to admit, that lately, I have been feeling restless and just can't settle my mind enough for anything. Given what has been going on lately, I know I'm not alone. One thing I have been craving is a really feel good story that makes my heart sing. The Somerset Girls hit the spot. I am trying to find the words to say how much I loved this book and how much I needed this book. On the surface, it's a simple story about two sisters finding the loves of their lives. But dig down deeper it's so m

In this new book from Foster we meet Autumn and Ember, sisters who run an animal rescue farm. Each sister has issues that they need to work through the only problem is having g the courage to work through said issues. Autumn was left at the alter and left humiliated in front of the whole town. Her fiancee ran off with another woman leaving Autumn to pick up the pieces and figure out how to move on. After that horrible day she has thrown herself into work and given up on men all together. Ember h

Unbelievably slow and boring. I am shocked at all the 5 star reviews, clearly I’m missing something.
With a small-town feel following two sisters and their inherited animal rescue farm, this one had such a cozy vibe. I absolutely loved the sisterly bond between Autumn and Ember. Despite being complete opposites and receiving unnecessary comparisons from family, their relationship remained strong.
Being so different from each other, I loved how this was reflected in each of their developing romances. With a friends-to-lovers situation between Ember and Mike, longtime employee of the farm, PLUS Au ...more

Lori Foster's newest release The Somerset Girls is a feel-good story about two sisters who find their HEA afters with two hunky men.
Autumn is the older of the two sisters and she's the shy one. She was cheated on by her ex-fiance weeks before their wedding. Afterward, she swore off men. Until Tash (I really disliked this name. I kept changing it to Dash when I was reading because Tash made me think of Trish a female name) her teenage crush comes back to town. Tash is back in town because he ne ...more

Autumn and Ember run an animal rescue farm. They bring in animals that have been abused. Care for them, and hopefully find them forever homes.
At first Ember made me a little upset at how she spoke to her sister Autumn. Soon though, once I heard her story and got to know her better, I liked her a lot. She wasn't trying to be mean, in fact she was trying to be helpful. Mike, the hot guy who had been working on the farm, teased her constantly and was a thorn in her side and starred in her dreams, p ...more

The two sisters are running the animal-rescue farm they inherited from their grandparents, Autumn and Ember Somerset are perfectly in sync but yet so different. Autumn would rather curl up with a good book (that's me) and Ember is a free spirit.

I enjoyed the relationship between the sisters, Autumn and Ember. Their farm for rescued animals is a clever subplot. I liked how they joined forces for a common goal (caring for their parents as well as the animals) yet the story also highlighted their distinct personalities and attitudes. This novel combines elements of women's fiction as well as romance. Mike and Tash are two very different men and the author did a nice job structuring both romances and carrying all four characters on interes

My Thoughts:
The Somerset Girls by Lori Foster was a charming second chance romance. It was the story of two very different, but extremely close and loyal sisters. We get two delightful romances in this book, as well as such a touching story with family as a focus, and extra emphasis on sisterhood.
Thirty-two year old Autumn Somerset was jilted at the alter three years ago. Since then, she's sworn off men, and instead indulges in books and ice cream. Younger sister, Ember Somerset is known for bei ...more
