Wow. Just wow. What a great way to write a second chance romance. I started to read this, and realized that there were references I was likely missing, so I did a quick search to see if this was a book in a series. While it wasn't obvious, and these are indeed interconnected standalones, Bend Towards the Sun is well worth the read prior to getting into Right Where We Left Us. I absolutely fell in love with the Brady family and its competitiveness and love and joy in living. It is multigenerational in scope, and Devon did a great job at blending humor, longing, romance, and love into a swoony, heartfelt story. It's hard to believe this is only her 2nd published work. And now I can't wait to read about Mal and Frankie!
