This is the first book I have read by Lia. I love seeing Lincoln and Mollie grow as a couple but also seeing them try to keep things simple to not disrupt the family that both are trying to protect. These two have history together and some of their past is remembered but some is not. Lincoln left home right out of high school to join the Army and during his time he was injured. He is dealing with that while also dealing with the death of his step mom and aunt. It was the loss of these two women that brought him back home to help out. One night his niece Belle gets hurt and is taken to the hospital where he reconnects with Mollie who he remembers from high school. She has concerns that Belle isn’t being properly taken care of so a desk is made that Mollie will come over so she can see that Belle is loved and taken care of. Feelings grow during this time. Not just feelings of love but for some feelings of hurt and betrayal. This is the story of love, second chances, healing and forgiving. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

Logan and Mollie are better together than apart. It was such a sweet story. Love the one twist, which I didn’t see. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Such a cute, wholesome romance! Logan and Mollie have such a cute story and background to their romance! This story follows an army vet, logan, and a nurse, mollie, who logan seems to recognize but cannot place how. The farther you read the more their background unveils just how much history they have. I couldn't put this book down and it was definitely a feel good story!

This was my first story by Fairchild and she did not disappoint. Building Bridges is the first book in Fairchild's newest series Bridges Brothers. It's the perfect Contemporary Military Romance and will pull on those heartstrings as it has all the feels. At least it did for me. I love each and every character in this story and can't wait for more!

Logan served his country and never could have imagined he would be helping raise a house full of children. He's the second oldest of the four brothers. As Logan is thrown into this new life he has to deal with his own demons in the form of PTSD. He finds help in someone very unexpected.

Mollie and Logan have a past but watching them go through such an unimaginable loss she just couldn't handle. She's got a sassy independence that's for sure. Mollie just fits so perfectly into the Bridges family. Like she should have always been there.

HEA for sure with this one even if it was a long hard road to get there.

I am in love with this book. There is so much to love about this book so I'll list them down below in no particular order.

1. The pace - even though some might say it's slow, I think the pace was perfect. Because of that, you got to learn more about Logan and Mollie. And the other characters as well and how a very difficult and sad tragadey affected everyone.
2. Characters/character development - I already mentioned this but you get to learn about each character even though the other characters development is less compared to the two main characters. Which I love as I haven't read about this kind of development before. Each of the Bridges had their own distinctive personality that defines them.
3. The seriousness - Building Bridges talks about PTSD, the loss of loved ones and the aftermath of each. The way Lia wrote and spoke about these issues was amazing. She went into detail about each and how all characters were affected differently and they overcame them. She didn't just 'brush it off' like I have read/heard about in some books.
4. I SHIP LOGAN AND MOLLIE - These two went through so much and
I am glad they were able to overcome the hardships.

THE FRICKING PROPOSAL AT THE END WAS THE CUTEST SCENE EVER.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS BOOK

This book introduced me to characters I really rooted for and a family unit I enjoyed, with backstories that made these elements particularly realistic and intriguing. Despite the somewhat complexity of the family relationships, they were written in a way that helped me grasp what was happening quickly and allowed me to experience the joys and difficulties of this large family that the author was putting across. There were two distinct narrative voices that meant I could easily distinguish between the differing storylines. Personally, I didn't care much for the romance which is why this is a three star for me, but I really enjoyed the other aspects of the story and definitely hope to pick up the sequels.
