Dakota
Jones has left the military and has basically just wandered around the world
while trying to figure out what his next path in life is. His older brother and
younger sister have settled in the hills of Colorado in Sullivan’s Crossing and
Dakota figures he can see what’s up with them while trying to figure out where
he will go next in life. But Dakota is unprepared to find that he is in
everyone’s crosshairs, including the single ladies who are hoping to catch him
for their own. Except the one woman in town who draws Dakota like no other is
determined to not be snared by Dakota’s good looks and charm.
As
Dakota finds himself enjoying getting to know his siblings again and tries to
see them as the adults they are not the remembrances of a childhood filled with
pain and upheaval. As Dakota finds out, family are ones who love you
unconditionally and that may be the greatest gift he ever will get as it will
steer him to the home and love he always longed for.

Carr’s third installment into the wonderful Sullivan’s Crossing is full of
returning characters, some new faces and more that will certainly charm the
reader after the first page is read. We meet two of the Jones siblings in the
first two books (What We Find and Any Day Now) and I loved catching up with
them in book three as well as finding out more about the other Jones’ siblings,
Dakota and Sedona. Ms. Carr delivers a heartfelt story that left me hanging
onto the pages for dear life as I flipped pages quickly to see where she was
taking these wonderful characters on. I love, love, love this series and THE FAMILY GATHERING just cemented it
as one of my go to series for a pick me up. The story flows smoothly and
quickly and there was just enough of new faces to keep me engaged in the story
and invested in the characters. I was thrilled to see more of Sully, Cal,
Maggie, Sierra, Connie and a few other familiar faces as well as meet some new
ones such as Sidney, Rafe, Rob and more. I loved the way this author captures
each of the characters individual personalities and I fell in love with Sidney,
her brother Rob and their family as I did with the Jones’.
THE FAMILY GATHERING isn’t all romance
and whatnot, it has mental illness, stalkers and a few other items that had me
on the edge of my seat wondering if all would end well for the characters. What
makes this book, heck this series, so enjoyable is the characters. They are
diverse, intriguing and downright entertaining.
Every time I open a Robyn Carr book, I am brought back to a place where
it feels like family. Her gift of storytelling is just amazing, and she does a
wonderful service on the world of mental illness, neurosurgery and other issues
that were brought up in the series. I can’t wait to see where book four, The
Best of Us, goes next now that the Jones siblings are settled and can’t wait to
see where her masterful storytelling takes us. If you enjoy a heartwarming
series that will tug at your heart strings and will make you laugh, cry then
laugh some more, then pick up the Sullivan’s Crossing series and settle in for
a wonderful time set in the lushness of the Colorado portion of the Continental
Divide and enjoy meeting the residents of this sleepy little place.
