All is Bright by RaeAnn Thayne

 

💖💖💖💖💖
All is Bright by RaeAnn Thayne, part of the Hope’s Crossing series, is heartwarming story that will have you laughing, crying and warm your heart. This heartwarming, emotional story takes us on a journey into the lives of family members dealing with loss, pain, distrust, regrets, healing and love. This book had everything: close family supporting one another, heartwarming characters, heartbreaking pasts, and adorable kids.

 

Sage McKnight is an architect in her father’s firm, with an expertise in building or remodeling spaces that are inclusive for all abilities. Her most recent design is a total rebuild of a home to make it totally accessible for a former baseball star, Mason Tucker, with mobility disabilities after surviving a deadly accident. Sage and Mason are both dealing with baggage from their pasts, but together are able to heal and move forward together. There are sparks and sizzling chemistry as they spend time together. A secondary relationship, Taryn and Charlie, dealt with a break in their friendship after a car accident, with teenage Charlie driving buzzed, critically injured Taryn and caused the death of their third musketeer, Sage’s sister. They, too, need to recognize how strong they are together as they overcome their past challenges. There is an additional relationship that was rebuilt, that between Mason and the mother who abandoned him, leaving him to be raised by overly strict grandparents. The major theme throughout this story is forgiveness and how it opens the heart to allow love and healing within.


Ms. Thayne wrote a story that reaches the soul; the soul of her characters as well the soul of her readers.  This wonderful, sweet, and amazing story was emotional, moving, tear inducing, filled with wonderful dialogue, endearing characters and the magic of Christmas, that is must read. I highly recommend All is Bright to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
