Finding Sunshine by Lea Coll

 

💖💖💖💖💖/5

Sarah and Knox’s story in Finding Sunshine by Lea Coll, book two in the Monore Brothers series, is a wonderful, heartwarming and romantic holiday romance between a single mom and a grumpy landscaper. Sarah’s daughter, Addy, was a welcome addition, adding depth and layers to the story while not only stealing Knox’s heart, but many of the scenes she was in.

 

Knox and his family own and operate a Christmas tree farm. Each brother also has a side hobby/business, for Knox it’s his landscaping business. Knox is putting up Christmas decorations for Sarah, a single mom, because her adorable and outspoken daughter, Addy, told Knox that she wished their home could look like the others in the neighborhood. Sarah is overwhelmed with work and other daily things; unable to really afford to decorate their home. Wanting to pay Knox back, she invites him in for a snack. When he notices that they don't have a tree and might put up an artificial one, he offers to have them come to his family's Christmas tree farm where he'll get them a real tree. This man just continues to do generous things for her and her daughter, and it’s not ending anytime soon. Sarah and Addy were welcomed into this family with open arms no questions asked; making her and her daughter family. Their attraction and off-the-charts chemistry encourages them to attempt a relationship; which leads to feelings that scare Knox as he believes his family should come first despite his falling for Sarah and Addy. Knox will have to work through his feelings of guilt for not being with his father before he died before he can open his heart to the possibility of a family of his own. Meanwhile, Sarah will need to become stronger and stand up for herself, especially with Addy’s father, before she can follow her own dreams of a career on her own.

 

Ms Coll once again created a delightful, amazing, kind and wonderful family of brothers, with each brother being somewhat different. This close-knit family, although sharing some similar traits: grumpy and stubborn, is incredibly supportive of each other. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the Monroe brothers' stories. I highly recommend Finding Sunshine to other readers and can’t wait to see which Monroe brother is next.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
