About the Gansett Island Episodes…
From Marie: My fictional island has become such a huge part of my life—and yours—over these last six years, and I’ve created so many characters who speak to me between books and during the writing of new ones. I can’t possibly give them all a new story in every book, but I still have so much to say about them. With that in mind, I’ll be launching a new “Gansett Island Episodes” series in 2017, featuring shorter stories about past characters who readers love and want more of. Mixed in with these episodes will be at least one full-length book a year. So we’ll have plenty more from our favorite island, with new stories for past characters as well as all-new stories, too. I’m looking forward to this new adventure and hope you’ll take the ferry to Gansett for the new episodes!

Babies, babies, babies so many babies. Lots of lovin, lots of laughs always with this series. A cute novella about clinic midwife Victoria, and Shannon (Seamus Cousin), Victoria is ready to settle down with Shannon, but he’s hiding a secret. A secret that could tear them apart. Can their love survive. A great read and a catch up with some of the regulars.
This is a novella that features Shannon and Victoria, but has other Gansett couples in it as well. It’s nice to catch up with some of our favorite couples. Multiple points of view. No cliffhanger.
I loved how all of the characters weaved in and out of all of the books in this series. It’s nice to see how their lives continue after the happily ever after.
Love this series
I loved getting another couples story. This series is amazing and keeps getting better.
Shannon and Victoria are a sweet couple who were only looking for a quick thing. When Shannon stays and theyake a go of things will Victoria be able to break down the wall Shannon has up? Will he ever confide in her about his past?
This was a great book! Reading the next one already!
The road to true love never goes easy, and this is the case here, with a few added twists!
Okay, so let’s be honest here, this isn’t going to be a review so much as a recommendation. I mean, it would be hard to go wrong with this book for me because I’m a huge McCarthy/Gansett Island fan. One of the reasons I enjoy this series so much is that in each book, with each new couple, the reader is updated on previous characters and couples. There are times where we’d like to learn more about a couple (but maybe they don’t have a full-length book sized story to tell) and Ms. Force has decided to tackle this by featuring some lesser known couples and a little more on previous couples and their (in this case) growing families.
I truly love this idea! I didn’t really know/remember a whole lot about the featured couple Shannon and Victoria (ergo… this book) and Ms. Force deftly fills us in on the development of their relationship from when they first met to now when they are facing quite a large hurdle.
The way Shannon handles this hurdle is frustrating at first but soon I appreciated the way he finally decided to face his own demons. Let’s just get this straight, though, Victoria is a badass. In this book, she assists with three births of Gansett Island babies. I loved that despite her own exhaustion and personal struggles, she was ready to rock and roll. Something else I loved was how Victoria and David’s close friendship was showcased. David has quite a history where the McCarthy’s and Gansett Island are concerned and I always enjoy a good redemption story and he continues to cement his own for me.
Simply put, the Gansett Island Episodes are a welcome addition to the McCarthy/Gansett Island world and I’m looking forward to more from one of my favorite series of all time.
