Susan Mallery and the Blackberry Island series are on my BOLO list. Sometimes I felt like the characters were a bit exaggerated or stereotypical in their behavior, but it’s part of what made the book fun to read. And Nina’s parents illustrate how love might be what makes a family go ’round, but part of that love is responsibility, reliability and stability.

Dylan and Kyle provided eye candy and nice cars… And great dates. Nina’s irresponsible little sister offered some comic relief. The antique-shop goings-on were fun to read, as were the pediatric waiting room incidents. Susan Mallery writes characters and dialogue that are so natural I don’t even stop to think that they might not be real. I liked watching Nina figure out which guy – if any – she really should be with. She also spends time with her ex… Dylan is a great guy but they have more of a friendship than anything else. One route she takes is having a casual fling with Kyle, a younger man. She learns to stop trying I take care of (control) the people around her, and let go of her worries. Lots of romance! In Evening Stars, Nina gets a chance to think about herself for a change. I love this Blackberry Island series! Evening Stars is the newest, and will be released February 25.īlackberry Island has family issues, local doctors’ practices, small businesses, small-town quirkiness, and romance.
