The Walsh Family #5
KU ebook, Audible audiobook
Author: Kate Canterbary
Narrators: Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers
In this “sequel” to Necessary Restorations, we go back a little on the timeline from the previous book and we follow Sam and Tiel as they plan their wedding and move into married life. Definitely not a standalone as you need to know how they got together to fully appreciate this one.
They get their “surprise wedding” while dealing with Tiel’s horrible family and all the regular Walsh shenanigans.
Even before tying the knot, Sam and Tiel already start trying to expand he family. They go through heartbreak and loss, but dealing with it all in a very much more mature and adult-y way now.
As in all the Walsh books, we keep up with all the Walshes and Riley (“the screw-up”) is becoming and endearing true favorite. I absolutely love all the nicknames he comes up with and how loyal and reliable he is in keeping his siblings’ secrets (even through he has his own secret he’s been keeping and that’s killing him inside). I love how Sam and, mostly, Tiel put up with him living with them at the firehouse. The poor guy is a master of “walking in on stuff”.
A little sadder due to the subjects it deals with, but another great addition to the series.
Narration: The amazingly talented duo Christian Fox/Lucy Rivers reprising their roles.
(Magnolia Santillian has a bigger presence in this one and is the trigger for a dognapping caper!)
Rep and possible triggers: MMC is type one diabetic and has other chronic ailments; parent loss; family abandonment experienced by FMC; infertility issues; miscarriage
