Review – Meant to be Family by Amelia Foster @afosterauthor #romance
Synopsis
My dreams constantly haunt me, whether I’m asleep or awake.
Six months ago, my life veered off course when my fiancée disappeared with no explanation.
The partying lifestyle I’d adopted to cope, ended in an accident that left my body as broken as my heart. To make matters worse, I’ve managed to run off countless physical therapists in charge of the in-home rehabilitation I need to get me back on my feet.
My last chance at staying in my own house is gift-wrapped in wavy, auburn hair and startling gray eyes.
The woman that shattered my heart.
Kelsey is the only one left to help heal my body. And her unexpected arrival brings with it the opportunity to ask the countless questions I thought I’d carry forever.
But her answers only create a new mountain to overcome, one I never imagined.
Now, more than ever, I need to prove to Kelsey that despite everything, we are meant to be a family.
Review
The Carlisle men are some pretty special guys, once they realize the error or their ways.
This story focuses on Connor but I was excited to see tidbits of Tanner & Izzy and Wyatt & Georgia from the first two books in this series. While you don’t have to read those books to enjoy this one, some of the past that is mentioned will make a little more sense if you have read the first two books.
Connor and Kelsey have been together for a very long time after meeting at college. They endure a lot together and despite their differences manage to have a successful relationship…that is until Kelsey walks about the door with no explanation. It takes an accident to bring them back together. It isn’t an easy road back and it takes a lot of give and take on both Connor and Kelsey’s part.
I do have to say I was very disappointed with Kelsey and the reason why she left. Why did she not talk to Connor about what was going on in her life? Did she really think he was going to leave her over something that wasn’t her fault?
I do understand the frustration on Kelsey’s part (not why she left) with Connor’s behavior and not cleaning up after himself, but Kelsey is a little OCD and needs to relax. My husband is like Kelsey and I’m like Connor so I get that dynamic and how hard it can be on both sides. Of course, if you ask my husband we live in a hoarder’s house which is the furthest thing from the truth!
I enjoyed the past and present chapters because it gives the reader a history about Connor and Kelsey and their relationship. I learned so much of their life in the past and how it affected their life in the present.
If you are in the mood for something light but still has some twists and turns and a happy ending, then this book might be the one you want to pick up next.
We give it 4 paws up.
About the Author
Books, coffee, and chocolate make up both the heart and body mass that is better known as Amelia Foster. She has been a lifelong lover of the written word, both as a reader and an author, and completed her first manuscript at the ripe old age of five complete with illustrations. Sadly, her art was a medium that never improved over time although thankfully her writing has.
From sweet to salacious the only requirement Amelia has in books she reads – and definitely in the ones she crafts – is an excessively satisfying happily ever after… and then a little bit more.
