Bittersweet Moments by Emily Bowie a five-star read that will leave you filled with great moments. This is number three in the Steele Family series and it can be read as stand-alone, but I would advise to read them all as they are amazing and do tell a phenomenal story. Brax Steele is a man with a past few would be able to live through, he has his own history, and many see him as cursed, but sometimes life is deeper than that, sometimes its more than that. Raya also has a history, and something else that will surprise many, many people. This is a bittersweet story, that involves loss and drama, but its also very, very sweet and a story that you can’t miss. Emily Bowie is a great storyteller, and this is one story you do not want to miss.
Is there truly anything a man won’t do for the woman he loves, but yet he must also guard his heart and pray it’s not to be broken again? But when the one woman who holds not just his heart but his everything is presumed dead, can this man Brax Steel come to terms with never loving again or find the answers to the questions he needs to be answered?
Raya has always had to do what’s best for her even if it goes against what her heart and mind are saying, but until she can make that decision she has to do the unthinkable, she must die. But can she find it in her to finally get to claim the man who is her entire world or risk everything to lose it all once and for all?
Bittersweet Moments the 3rd book in the Steel Family Series by Emily Bowie is full of surprises, passion, and heartbreak. I have fallen in love with this series with every book and turn of the pages.
Brax’s story! It’s a twisted one! Raya and Brax were in Love and once Raya found out she was pregnant, she did what she could to escape her Father’s house.
This HEA was not something that just happened, it was fought for.
Loved the characters! Fun quick read!
Hum….. this is a great unknown child book. The hero wasn’t a big ol jerk like he could have been when it came to everything thing that went down with Raya. I really loved that aspect. There was great suspense that kept me hooked after I got over the funk at the beginning. It wasn’t the story, it was me. Once the story picked up I finished it in one sitting. It was that enchanting. I needed to know what was going to go down and how these characters pushed forward. I can’t wait to read the next Steele sibling and go back to read the other two in the series. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Bittersweet Moments is book three in the Steele Family Series. It can be read as a standalone. I read the first two and when starting this one I was debating whether to read this or not because I really wasn’t feeling Brax and Raya. Brax is a sweet nice guy and I so wanted him to get his happen ever after. I was surprised how much I liked this one and can’t wait to get Rhett’s story.
Wow. Just wow. I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t stop reading once I started and got so mad when I had to a few times. I was desperate to know what happened next. I loved the twists and turns throughout this story so much. The storyline was fantastic and very enjoyable. An absolute must read.
So…. that title is very fitting for the story.
I adore Brax, he is so perfect for Raya.
Raya…. I wanted to hate her, I really did. But I couldn’t.
Why? Well, you will have to read the story to find out!

“Shards of my heart and soul escape into Brax, making sure I will never be complete without him, creating him as my other half.”
I’ve been dying for this one!! Brax has been flitting around in my brain since this series started and I was not prepared for how heart tugging, impossibly heart breaking, and action packed this one was. The loss, the pain, the missed time that both of these characters endured filtered through the pages, but the love, the attraction, the deep desire overcame the obstacles and made for an addictive read. We saw more of the eldest Steele, and now I’m salivating for his story next!! Seeing the entire crew again warmed my heart!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

This is the 3rd book in the Steele family series, and it can be read as a stand-alone, but I strongly advise to read these books in order, just so you get to know and fall in love with the characters!
This is Brax’s story, and he doesn’t have it easy in life. Losing his first girlfriend due to a tragic incident, his now girlfriend Raya ends their relationship. A few days later she dies in a fire.
5 years later he thinks he sees her at a concert. Could it be true that she’s still alive?
As the first two books in this series, I loved this book a lot! I was waiting for the day to finally read it, and it ended way too quickly for my liking. Lol. Emily Bowie has a fantastic writing style, and she sucks me right into the story, and makes me feel like a bystander right next to everyone in Three Rivers. I love this family a lot, and the twists and turns this family is going through is amazing. It just makes them a bigger and better family, kinda like: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
Thank you for this lovely trip back to this small town
I kindly received an arc for an honest review
Bittersweet Moments is the third Steele Family Book. It was fast paced, second chance, family, love story. The twists kept me guessing til the end. I liked Brax and Raya. They had good chemistry, and they really loved one another. I liked seeing past characters in this book too. One brother left, and I can’t wait to see him fall.
This is the 3rd book in this awesome series, and is Brax and Raya’s story. No spoilers, this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a well written fast paced story which is an emotional roller coaster journey throughout. This story has secrets, lies, loss, twists, emotion, and love, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all readers.
Third in the series and this one got to me. This was an emotional ride. This one is about Brax and Raya. These two just cant be together. Her father wont allow it. His family is to different from hers. Raya learns something and decides to take matters into her own hands. But by doing this it changes life for both her and Brax. Years later they run into each other again and Raya tries to explain everything that has happened the last five years, why she did what she did. But will Brax understand and forgive her? Will these two be able to make a future? This was a very emotional story at times. A forbidden love because of her father but yet you can easily see that these two belong together. A great storyline that I couldn’t put down. I read it from beginning to end. I had to know what was going to happen. Emily did an amazing job writing this one and making sure that you felt what each character was feeling. Another great story from this series.
I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put this down once started. It had everything wanted. It goes to show romance can’t always be fairy tales.
I always wondered what happened to Raya and Brax after ending of moonlight moments. And I wasn’t disappointed.
We also got to meet Rhett too.
I can’t wait for more of this family
