Detective Barelli’s Legendary Triplets by Melissa Senate. This is the story of Norah Ingalls and Reed Barelli. Norah who is a new mother of three triples went out for a night at the Wedlock Creek Founder’s Day Carnival while her sister watch the babies. There she met Reed who when he went to introduce himself she told him that they should just make up names and have fun. Which they did and along the way they ended up with a bowl of spiked punch that lead them to be tipsy. When Norah made the comment that she would liked to be married in The Wyoming Multiples wedding chapel a drunk Reed said lets do it.
Next morning they both wake up in her house with gold wedding rings. They first think that the marriage isn’t real but they start to find out that might not be the case.
What a fun romance! Loved it!
Mixed feelings about this one. The legend is unbelievable but that’s the point of legends sometimes right? The love story or anti-love story was pretty good, fighting feelings is pointless. This was a decent quick read. If you like multiples and legends this is for you!

Norah Ingalls gets the surprise of her life. Loved the first scene between her and her sister, Shelby. I could see the whole thing play out in my head. Reed Barelli thought a job change would be good for him. Our author writes that endearing scene that you can’t help but fall in love with. That’s when it’s becomes really tough to put it down – even when you come across scenes where you want to yell at the both of them.
Our author takes great care when developing her story. She could have just created the story between Norah and Reed but she shows that there are people in the town they live in. We have characters that you wouldn’t mind having in your life. And one that bakes that just kept making me hungry. Ms. Senate even takes things one-step further by including some of the history of her town. On top of that she gives us a little mystery surrounding one of the townsfolk.
If you love babies, a man who seems to have the right touch with said babies, and is really romantic than you can’t go wrong by adding this into your library. We have two people who seem to be so perfect for each other but… In researching Shelby, her story is in the book titled Baby Switch. After reading this book I found myself wanting to know more so I’ve added her book to my TBR library. This book was a reminder of what I love about the Harlequin brand – I always seem to be able to just relax and enjoy what the author has written. And I always seem to get an ending that puts a smile on my face.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
A wonderfully encouraging, fun and entertaining, adorable and ardent story about a marriage of accident while trying to tackle life, love, and multiple children.
This story had me smiling big throughout it while reading, it has such a positive, heartening, supportive, hopeful tune and atmosphere. It is all about how it takes a village to raise a child, not to mention multiples, and it shows by example how we, as women and people in general, should build up each other, support, and offer a helping hand when needed.
Norah Ingalls and Reed Barelli have both been disappointed in love, and not looking for a relationship, not to mention to get married. But things happen with a spiked punch, and they have to figure out what they want in life to deal with the consequences.
Norah is such a survival, strong, tough, capable woman. She is not perfect, she does feel at times overwhelmed, who wouldn’t with three seven-month-old babies, but she is doing it, she is doing it well, with the help of family and friends.
Reed is a dream man, even with his apprehension towards romance and love. He has a strong sense of responsibility, he is protective, kind, loves babies, and is not afraid of a dirty diaper.
The sizzling connection between Norah and Reed, the palpable attraction, the obvious feelings they have for each other, and how they try to avoid them and deny them while on the bumpy road to the acceptance and embracing the feels, the desires, the dreams of the future is heartfelt while enjoyable, enticing, and so alluring… A true feel-good story that made me smile and gave me all those warm and fuzzy feels inside.
A perfect summer reading material, for sure!
