The Family Blessings books from Stephanie Dees contain stories of unconventional families and sweet, sweet romance. I had a lot of fun getting to know these lovable characters, their fears and dreams, their quirks and strengths, all in a small-town setting. Each one has challenges to overcome, but they never have to do so alone.

In The Dad Next Door, Joe Sheehan unexpectedly learns he’s the father to a twelve-year-old girl, while Claire Conley renovates an inherited mansion to host foster children. Together, they explore ideas of home, belonging, and finding healing for the hurts of the past.

In A Baby for the Doctor, Jordan Conley becomes a foster mother for an adorable but hurt little boy, while Ash Sheehan uses his doctoring skills to help her out. Their story helps them to learn to trust, love, and take a risk or two.

In Their Secret Baby Bond, Wynn Sheehan and Latham Grant reunite when she returns to Red Hill Springs pregnant and ashamed. He needs help with his grandfather, and she needs help renovating a cottage. The more time they spend together, the more they begin to see how dreams can change for the better.

In The Marriage Bargain, Jules Sheehan is willing to do anything for two sweet girls in her care—including proposing a marriage of convenience to their uncle, Cameron Quinn. For the plan to be a success, the pair must set aside their ideas of perfection and let go of the past.

All in all, the Family Blessings series is a highly enjoyable set of books to read. With family, romance, and a lot of fun, they’re easy to recommend.

Stephanie Dees continues to deliver stories of faith, family, and second chances in book three of the Family Blessings series.

Wynn Sheehan left Red Hill Springs as soon as she graduated high school with a plan to change the world. Now she’s returned with a big secret, discouraged and ashamed that the world changed her.

Latham Grant’s life hasn’t gone as planned, but he has no regrets for the choices he made. But now, the woman that got away has moved back to Alabama. Latham is a quiet, persistent hero, a man who holds family close. Wynn is wounded and floundering but she finds an anchor in Latham.

With a community that surprise Wynn with their acceptance and welcome instead of the distain she’s expecting, a family that supports her, a group of foster kids that challenge her, and a man who loves her without reservation, Wynn discovers that changing the world begins within and can happen wherever you are, one person at a time.

Review: I’m loving Stephanie Dees books! Thank you Love Inspired for being on board with such a wholesome and beautiful writer!

“Their Secret Baby Bond” is following another of the Sheehan siblings, this time one of the young ladies, Wynn.

Wynn is a real go-getter, in high school or even middle school she knew she wanted and could take on the world! She went to college then law school and found herself working with a Senator. Wow that’s a great accomplishment for a small town girl!

Now she finds herself back home, in Red Hill Springs, feeling jilted and disgraced. She’s concerned a lot of peoples judgement when she reveals her secret that led her to come home. She finds comfort in the support of her high school crush Latham Grant. Everything is working against them and they don’t want to share that they love each other with each other for fear of heavy heart break and Wynn doesn’t feel right about dragging him into her very complicated predicament.

So what will come of Wynn and being back to her roots? What will happen with her and Latham, are they meant to be after all?

This story flows effortlessly and beautifully just as the other two books following the guys of the Sheehan family. Stephanie Dees really knows how to tug at your heartstrings while also keeping you wanting more. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants a wholesome, faith based romance!

My rating is: 5/5 ( )
