Kroosreads and Reviews

  Love this series and these characters who love each other so much amidst such a high stress job.  The characters of Zane and Tessa were relatable and the suspense in the story kept me reading and enjoying it until the end. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

 This was such an enthralling story of multiple women as their lives were intertwined in the midst of WWII.  The author is a fantastic story teller as she takes the reader along for the ride.  The characters of Mathilde, Paul and Ruth were among my favorites! Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

 Although Hudson may start off his review with "I hated it", I would thoroughly disagree.  The author has an amazing way with words and is able to weave in tough topics while surrounding the reader with characters that they will fall in love with. I so desperately want to go to Indigo Isle and meet the "Monster" and see how he harvests the indigo.  I can just imagine the majestic beauty of the island from the authors words. There were so many favorite characters for me:. Hudson, Sonny, Vee and Erlene are just a few of many!! Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

 A beautiful story woven together with tragedy, loss and perseverance!  The reader is sure to fall in love with the characters especially the young children!   Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

This is a fun and easy book to read. The reader quickly figures out how the story will probably end but it is fun to go along with the characters as the story unfolds. Monroe and Shirley were my favorite characters. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

  This author never fails to write a book about a social issue and give the reader both sides of the story. The reader is left feeling empathy for each of the characters and realizing that everything in the world is not black and white even over issues that are so life changing. This book will leave you thinking for quite some time! Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

  I did not have the pleasure of reading the first book in this series but I enjoyed getting to know these characters. I found the characters of May and Carl so interesting as they battle the burns from their past. It was at times difficult to understand the family dynamics of holding a grudge for so long but enjoyed the way the author navigated those issues. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

  Any story that talks about adoption or foster care usually grips me pretty quickly and this book was no exception. I enjoyed the wealth of wisdom from the characters as well despite a difficult topic Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

  This story didn't have me turning the pages super fast. I was interested in what happened with the characters but I felt like a bit disconnected from the suspense. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

 Flipping houses and football makes for a perfect book along with some romance! I really enjoyed the characters of Aunt Midge, M &M, Brent and Christine! I enjoyed how throughout the book, the antiques as well as the people were given second chances! Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

  This is the first time that I have read anything by this author, but it will not be my last! I enjoyed the amount of Scripture that is in this story and the prayers by the different characters. This is another dual timeline with a diary involved and left me wanting to find out how the story would end. Tyler, Emma and Olivia were my favorite characters. Thanks souch to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

  This author does a great job of infusing humor throughout her stories along with a touch of Southern charm. I always enjoy anything written by this author Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.
