Sandy by Melanie Moreland

Only show reviews with written explanations

Oh Sandy...the glue that holds all the BAM boys together. Married to and widowed by a man 22 years her senior, she is left reeling and trying to pick up the pieces of her life and figure out how to go on without Max. Enter Jordan, her coworker and friend who knows exactly what it's like to lose your lifelong spouse.

Sandy and Jordan's story is absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to end the BAM series. I love how she overcame her fears and opened her heart again and I ADORED how her boys showed up for her. This story is such a great reminder that you can find love at any age. I'll miss the BAM series!!

I have waited patiently for Melanie Moreland to write Sandy's story and it is a bittersweet read. Finally getting Sandy's HEA is a wonderful and highly emotional story that was such a great read it should have more than 5 stars, pulling at our heartstrings and making me cry more than once. However, now it leaves me with the sense of loss to realize the series is over and the BAM boys are finished. It's like saying goodbye to your favorite family that you will miss terribly - but at the same time the sense of family that the entire series has given us will last a lifetime. So congratulations Sandy on finding a second chance at love. Hopefully we will see the BAM boys once again years down the road when their kids take over. (Or maybe a holiday novella!!)

Absolutely perfect ending!!

Sandy's story was a perfect combination of new beginnings and perfect conclusions. It was everything I could have wanted and so much more. I'm going to miss them all!

Started this book with crying and ending the book just the same. Wonderful touching story about finding love after loss. Loved the BAM series so much and so sad that that chapter is all over but this book was definitely a perfect way to end it with the matriarch of the family.

What a special and lovely story for Sandy and Jordan. I love all the familiar characters and their lives continuing in this book as well.
Sandra and Jordan have been such amazing characters within the series I love that they got their love story and their happy ending. I love how they navigate finding love and surviving loss together while falling in love.
This is the perfect ending for this series! I’ve got nothing but love for this series!

Don’t think about the amount of time we have—none of us knows that—think about how we can live it.

I adored seeing the BAM boys surrogate mother Sandy get her HEA after the loss of her husband Max. And for her to get it with Jordan - who lost his with Anna many years before - is just beautiful. This story shows how strong the relationship is between Sandy & the boys at BAM (especially Reid) and I loved how they supported her, overwhelmed her and loved her. Jordan was such a patient and loving man - I was totally in love with him too. A beautiful story and a great way to end the BAM era.

I loved the ending of this book. I feel like the series after Maddox got progressively slower and ehhh. I expected Sandy's story to be epic since she was a constant in all the other books... but it feel flat.

I have to admit, Sandy is the sweetest of all. Her story is min drama/ twist and yet really sweet. Having another chance in love in her 50's is heart warming.

Even this book is short, do not under estimate Miss Moreland capability to bring so much tender and sweet moment alive.
Now I am ready for the second generation of BAM.
