About The Author

My Review

Primrose Hall, where Jackson and his fiancée Pia live, is a focal point of the book, bustling with wedding plans, animals, and preparations for Christmas. The author does a great job of developing characters that feel natural, with well-established personalities that resonate throughout the series.

The story centers on romance, with different types of relationships at various stages—new, established, and those facing big life decisions. There’s also tension between estranged brothers Jackson and Tom, stemming from their troubled family history, especially involving their father, Rex, who has a questionable past. Their mother’s lingering doubts about Rex add a layer of drama.

This is the sixth and final book in the Primrose Woods series, and while it ties together storylines from previous books, it still works well as a stand-alone. Primrose Woods offers a warm, family-centered setting, and though the reader gets a sense of the ongoing relationships, having read the earlier books would likely enhance the experience. Overall, this is an enjoyable, heartwarming read, perfect for those looking for contemporary fiction focused on family, friendships, and romance.
