Love it

book 3: Callum

I think this is my new favorite, though I’m not sure it will end up that way as each book has been better than the one before. I really enjoyed this couple so much. They had the perfect mix of mature experience and sweet innocence. My heart ached for Pearl. Her story and fears were so powerful, as was Callum’s. Even though the book was short, it really packed an emotional punch. There have been wonderful layers to each of these characters and it’s made the entire series (so far) a joy to read. The only gripe I have was much like the last book, I wish there had been more time spent with the sisters reunion. I feel like Ruby and Pearl deserved to have some time, especially since they seem so close with Pearl basically giving up her childhood/life to protect and care for her sister. This really is a minor thing though because the rest of the story is simply wonderful. Onto book 4!

This series is about the residents of a colony on another world who have taken to Earth older times as a way of life, with minimal technology and very strict guidelines on what they can and cannot do. The story does described the world and how the founder as well as residents fit into the larger world and throughout the series you find out more about the colony's history and the people in the town.

This story focuses on how PTSD effects people in unsuspecting ways, with that being said in some aspects of the story I didn't like that it was portrayed that being with someone you care about would cure you without having to do the work around it. Although, in this story the male characters (who have been soldiers in the past) have already worked through some of their trauma prior to the females joining into their lives.
