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.

Competent and confident Jules Sheehan has it all together. But when her best friend loses her life and Jules becomes the caregiver to two little girls, her careful control begins to shift. Then, the girls’ uncle shows up at her door and the threat of a custody battle with the girls’ grandmother drives her to desperation.
Cameron Quinn left Red Hill Springs intent on never looking back but he cannot let his sister’s children live a life like he had. When Jules proposes a marriage of convenience, he agrees.
Despite the chaos of becoming instant parents and running a business, the friendship formed between Jules and Cameron in both the quiet and messy moments of life are what waters the seeds of their relationship. If Jules can put her fear of failure aside and Cameron can release the past to grab hold of the future, the two of them just might realize they’re stronger together than apart.
Stephanie Dees’s Family Blessing series finale is another book overflowing with friends, family, faith, and friendship.
