Why did that word rank above the rest? Helen loved her family and understood they wanted her to have the real love they’d all found. It’s just that she’d found her someone special and learned to live without him. She’d been too young for the quirky, idealistic doctor-off to save the world-to notice. And, really, if she had it her way, he’d never know how she’d felt. Now, he was one of her best friends, a pen pal, losing him would be too much.
Seeing him at their parents wedding, Helen realizes the horrible truth: she still loves Joseph… which wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t in the situation she was in.
But she was. And her secret will change everything.
Will it destroy hope for a Hollywood happy ending too?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
I have adored this entire series and it made me giddy to know that Josh’s little sister was going to be the focus in this book. Sasha Summers did not disappoint in giving the always lovably, quirky, funny Helen a slow building romance with her teenage crush, Dr. Joseph Foster.
Helen and Joe balanced each other perfectly. They managed to calm the other, in different ways, that made them reach for their future…regardless of what may have been in the past. Helen may have had a harder time realizing that it was OK for her to show her feeling for Joe, especially after he admitted he felt the same way, but her heart knew what it wanted, it just took a little bit to convince her brain (which Joe did a really good job of convincing).
I loved how Helen and Joe’s families (since there seemed to be a rash of one marrying into the other) stood by to support both of them…even down to Claire and Josh’s oldest kids. They never judged. They were always right there to support one or both of them and make sure they knew they would always have their back(s).
A fabulous, fabulous series and a great story to round out the older characters. I would love to see some kind of story for Natalie and/or Will down the line, but if the series were to end today, it ended on the best possible note.
There is a tour-wide giveaway for a complete signed paperback set of the series:

Sasha is part gypsy. Born June 9, 1974, stories have always played an important role in her life. Her passions have always been storytelling, Hollywood, history, and travel. It’s no surprise that her books include a little of each. Her first play, ‘Greek Gods and Goddesses’ was written for her Girl Scout troupe. She’s been writing ever since. She loves getting lost in the worlds and characters she creates; even if she frequently forgets to run the dishwasher or wash socks when she’s doing so. Luckily, her four brilliant children and hero-inspiring hubby are super understanding and supportive.

Thanks SO much for reading and reviewing Helen and Joseph’s story! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 I’m not sure about what’s next for the series, but I think there are a few more stories to write yet. 🙂
