Continuing brilliance

I love being surrounded by these wonderful characters. Even though this is book 17 in the series the story is just as wonderful as ever.

Sweet and satisfying!

Chris Keniston is the queen of sweet, heartwarming romance.When Eloise Carey becomes fed up with the overwhelming rat race of being a chef in a Chicago restaurant she answers an add for a chef of a new restaurant in the up and coming restored ghost town of Sadieville. She’s been worried about her brother Danny who is suffering from PTSD after several tours in Afghanistan and hopes the move to a smaller, quiet town will help him.While film crews continue to annoyingly tape the daily lives of the Construction Cousins as they bring a ghost town back to life again, Quinn Farraday, his brothers, and cousins are hoping the new chef they hired will be just what they need to draw folks from neighboring towns to the new restaurant as well as the old ghost town they are revitalizing.When a severe dust storm comes roaring across Texas just as one of their own goes missing it will take a lot of prayers, luck and Farradays to come to the rescue.I received an ARC and voluntarily offer this review.

Glitch with names

Love the author and all the series she writes but… Please Chris, I’m begging you, talk to your proofreader/editor about mixing up the names of characters. It happens in a lot of your books and especially in this series, this book alone had several (Jamie vs Finn, Elaine vs Eloise - previous books, Adam vs Brooks and sheesh, no one in the family recognizing Dale even though he stayed with his friend Declan’s family in the past). Love the stories…the proofreading, not so much.

Quinn is a beautiful and sweet and fun as the other of the book sin the series.

Oh, how I love the Farradays! Quinn, is as beautiful as the whole series. Once you have read one Farraday book about the Texas branch or the Oklahoma branch, you are sure to fall in love with the whole family. Eloise Carey's arrival at the historical town rebuild the Oklahoma Farradays are doing as part of their reality TV show Construction Cousins is a surprise for Quinn. Somehow, he imagined a chef like most of those guys on TV emphasis on GUYS. Once he recovers from that misunderstanding, he realizes that he is more than happy that the new chef is a woman, this woman. Eloise has taken this journey from Chicago to help her brother who has been facing worsening PTSD ever since he returned from his 3rd deployment. The big, noisy city has become more than he can handle, and the job in a tiny West Texas town seems like the perfect answer to her prayers, until that is the VA drags their feet about shifting his records to Texas. Except for a little "day of" nerves, Eloise has not doubt she can do the job and that is the right job for her, she just wishes she could be as sure that her brother can hold out until the VA gets thing sorted out.
