Having left the military, Dakota Jones is at a crossroads in his life. With his elder brother and youngest sister happily settled in Sullivan’s Crossing, he shows up hoping to clear his head before moving on to his next adventure. But, like every visitor to the Crossing, he’s immediately drawn to the down-to-earth people and the seemingly simple way of life.
Dakota is unprepared for how quickly things get complicated. As a newcomer, he is on everyone’s radar—especially the single women in town. While he enjoys the attention at first, he’s really only attracted to the one woman who isn’t interested. And spending quality time with his siblings is eye-opening. As he gets to know them, he also gets to know himself and what he truly wants.
When all the Jones siblings gather for a family wedding, the four adults are drawn together for the first time in a way they never were as children. As they struggle to accept each other, warts and all, the true nature and strength of their bond is tested. But all of them come to realize that your family are the people who see you for who you really are and love you anyway. And for Dakota, that truth allows him to find the home and family he’s always wanted.

Anything by Robyn Carr is worth reading
Love all her books! A great story teller! Family is most important!
I love the settings of these books and the averages Joes and Joannas falling in love!
Robyn Carr makes ordinary people extraordinary and that is the beauty of this series as well as her Virgin River and thunder Point series. Normal folks living life, facing its obstacles and getting through together. Yes this is Dakota and Sidney’s story but it is so much more about the Jones family. Carr tackles mental illness, blended families, and adoption with love and heart and that’s what makes all her books a pleasure to read. She has a wonderful gift for dialogue that gives the reader the feeling he or she is sitting at the table with her characters.
An interesting psychological look at the various members of a family who grew up with a mentally ill father and an enabling mother, they lived as nomads growing up. Now we see the last male child grown and dealing with having two of his siblings happy and settled in a place called Sullivan’s Crossing. Will the place and people work it’s magic on the last son? Will he find happiness, love and a home after so long? This one will leave you with a smile on your face!
Love the series and great characters.
Sullivan’s Crossing is one of Robyn Carr’s fictional locations I wish REALLY existed. The characters are all people I would like to know. Their story-lines are ALWAYS interesting and intriguing.
I really loved this story. It was slightly different than the earlier ones in this series, but all kinds of fantastic.
