When he met the Reeds, he was a gangly kid with bad teeth and even worse breath. He’d come from nothing, and he was pretty sure that was where he’d end up. Then he met the Reeds, and he was brought into the family fold. With gentle nudges, a little steady guidance, and a whole lot of unencumbered love from a family, he has finally found his place in the world. He just needs someone to share it … with him.
During the day, he’s a mechanic at a high-end repair shop. Nights and weekends, he does good deeds for others. He’s lonely, though, until she walks right back into his life, just like she never left.

I am such a sucker for second chances and this one is beyond amazing! Of course I love that the whole Reed family is involved with both Avery and Edward! So many funny, practical, serious times that the Reeds interspersed themselves into Edward & Avery’s relationship! I love how Edward and Avery shared similarites, but had several differences too. There was a couple of chapters that were pretty emotional, tear jerkers. I don’t cry at anything, but even I was so very touched. So many wonderful characters involved in this amazing story of forgiveness, love, maturity and redemption!
I love all of Tammy’s books. Once you meet the Reed’s you will want more of them.
Oh My Heart! Once you’ve met the Reed Brothers, you know that you’re going to become family. I was beyond excited to read this book and Tammy Falkner did not disappoint. I laughed, I cried, I felt each and every ounce of emotion the characters experienced. But most of all I fell in love. Each book can be read as a stand-alone – but I would highly recommend the entire series.
She introduced Gonzo as a young kid in Calmly, Carefully, and Completly when Pete went to a camp. Gonzo was just a kid who’d had a rough life and thanks to meeting Pete Reed, his life completely changed. But that’s how this amazing family is.
Now Gonzo has grown up. He’s a hard-working contributing member to society. He’s built his entire life around the ability to give back to those in need. Gone is the wayward boy – he’s now a successful business owner and runs a community outreach program through his shop. It’s been years since the love of his life walked away from him. Ran is a better word – but now she’s back. But will he be able to finally tell her how he feels?
I would highly recommend this book. It was written perfectly and I fell so hard for Gonzo.
Tear jerker, this author truly pulls your heart strings
I’m always excited to get another book in the Reed Brothers series! We first met Edward in Calmly, Carefully, Completely and we have also seen a glimpse of Avery before in the series. They once knew each other, but feeling inadequate and a misplaced comment sent Avery running as far as she could go. Now four years have passed and Avery is coming home. They never forgot each other, but will they be able to get over their individual insecurities to forge a future together? As always I enjoyed their story immensely. Tammy Falkner is one of my all time favorite authors.
Good grief! Stick a fork in me, because I am done! Lord, I love this family so Damn much and I can’t tell you how many times I have re-read this series. The Reeds are a force of nature, spreading light and love wherever they go.
Edward has been part of their family ever since Pete met him at the camp run by Reagan’s parents (Calmly, Carefully, Completely: Book Three). And my has he grown! The last time he saw Avery, words were said that he has spent the last few years regretting. When she reappears in his life and that of The Reeds, he is determined to put things right.
My heart was truly melted, there isn’t anything this family won’t do to help and support those that they love. Opening this book was like going home…….and that epilogue?! Tears I tell you!!
I can’t thank this author enough for sharing this amazing family with us.
Omh! I love the Reed series, so much! I wasn’t expecting this story, so when it popped up, I may have swooned a little. Heh.
Edward & Avery have a sweet but slightly rough history – both individually & together. I absolutely adored their story! Perfect pacing & full of love! Penny & Susan & Gonzo & the whole Reed clan made their story sparkle, too. The way this family continues to expand… Fantastic!!
