But it's time that Leigh has her independence and she hopes the beauty of the Colorado wilderness will entice her aunt to visit often.

When Helen visits Leigh she is surprised to find her niece still needs her, especially when it comes to sorting out her love life. But the biggest surprise comes when Leigh takes Helen out to Sullivan's Crossing and Helen finds herself falling for the place and one special person.

Reading The Best of Us is like snuggling into a warm comfy chair, all bundled up while sipping a delicious cup of hot Cocoa -familiar, cozy and delicious.❤️ That’s how I felt as I began reading the first few chapters. Robyn Carr has a way of enveloping the reader into the story. Once I was in Sullivan’s Crossing I didn’t want to leave. Lots of engaging drama that kept me turning page after page.
There are three romances in this story of different generations. I finished the story with a smile yet it was really hard to leave this wonderful community. I can’t wait for visit Sullivan’s Crossing again!
I highly recommend THE BEST OF US and give it 4.5 stars.

I love Sullivan's Crossing from the campground to the small community of Timberlake, Colorado where everyone knows your business. Whether you are a new fan or just picking up this story, The Best of Us, will work as a standalone. I do however recommend starting from the beginning. All the little connections from places to people are not to be missed. Soon you'll be packing your bags to visit this quaint little town with its majestic views.

In the last book we met Dr. Leigh Culver. She has moved to Timberlake and loves her new practice and slower pace of life offers after years spent in Chicago. Leigh comes with some emotional baggage. She has never quite gotten over her first love. She threw herself into medical school and her best friend is her beloved Aunt Helen who raised her. All that is about to change when Rob, the local pub owner and widowed father of teenage boys challenges her to explore love again.

Readers are treated to a second romance when Aunt Helen relocates to Timberlake for the summer and finds the perfect place to write on Sully's front porch. It delighted me to see Sully get his own romance after all everyone deserves love and companionship. This was a fun courtship and Carr made me laugh from talks of pajamas to long walks.

Drama came in the form of a surprise and while not my favorite plot but it was executed flawlessly.  The story offered tender moments from Rob's sons to powerful growth and acknowledgement of the sacrifices parental figures make for the children they love. I am not at all sure if this was the last book, but I would gladly visit Sullivan's Crossing again. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
