She’s looking for a second chance to reconnect with her daughter but finds so much more. Since her husband’s climbing death a year ago, Maureen Shannon’s relationship with her twelve-year-old daughter has spiraled out of control. Desperate, she resigns from her partnership at a legal firm and moves back to her hometown in Whitefish, Montana, with the hope that family and nature can heal their wounds. Her investment in a heli-skiing and lodge operation makes financial sense, but her attraction to the owner doesn’t. He’s everything she’s come to hate—a man who makes his living chasing adventure. Jake Hartman knows Maureen Shannon is off limits. She’s an investor in his company—a silent investor who’s never silent. Worse, she’s a mom who’s beautiful, intelligent and makes him feel more alive than he’s ever known. A self-confirmed bachelor, he finds himself uneasily contemplating a very different partnership. But will Maureen be able to let go of her past and build a future with a man who never imagined becoming a husband or a father?

A nice finale of the Shannon’s Sister’s trilogy

Heartwarming story of love and being brave. Compelling characters who think thoughts that we all think. I wonder if we will see a series about Holly the detective come from this last book!

A new beginning

It was second time lucky for Maureen. Having lost her husband in a mountaineering accident Maureen met Jake and the chemistry between them was off the charts. Jake had to make sure that Maureen realised that he was involved for life so that they could be a family together.

Shannon sisters, book 3. Updated from the 90's.

This is book 3 in the Shannon Sisters series. It is also a re-release updated version of the original book published by Harlequin in the 90's. You can read this as a stand alone but could benefit from reading the previous 2 stories. This is Maureen's story who moves to Montana with her 12 year old daughter, Holly after the death of her husband. I liked the fact that Holly had a staring role investigating some strange circumstances in town. I'd love to see a book about her as an adult. A nice love story that includes updates from all three sisters and their grandmother. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

As much as she’s attracted to him, he also reminds her of her deceased husband. Or is he really like him?As the story develops , so do the relationships between all three, but the past seems to interfere with the present and the possibility of a future. Is Maureen doing the right thing in keeping Jake at arms length?What happens when someone she loves is in danger?This last story in the series, brought all the characters together, while giving the reader an engaging plot.It’s a story about family, relationships, hope and love. A good ending for the series.I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
