I really liked reading Felicity and Gabe’s story. This is the first one I have read in the series and I will definitely be going back to read the others to catch up. I had no problem reading “The River House” and enjoyed it tremendously. Gabe and Felicity were really good friends and one night changed it all. They went their separate ways to college but Felicity ended up coming home and buying a house on the property that changed her and Gabe’s friendship. Felicity is a party planner and finally doing what she loves. Gabe was a smart businessman and has come home to talk regarding another business venture. Gabe has only truly loved one girl his life and his intention is to win her back. Great story! Nadia added some interest to the plot and maybe we will see her in another book of the series. Cannot wait to read the other books in the series.
This is a second chance romance and a fabulous read.
You can’t help but fall in love with the characters in this book. They are very well written.
I loved everything about Gabe and Felicity’s story. I hope that Carla will write a little more about them in a future book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story about the property the River House is on. It was very touching.
I read this book for a book group meeting and don’t generally read books out of order in a series. This book is perfectly fine as a stand alone. I look forward to getting the first seven and reading them. I am also looking forward to future books in this series.
This is my first introduction to Knights Bridge. This is the story of Felicity and Gabe. They were friends in school, but grew a part as they grew older. Felicity came back to Knights Bridge and built a life for herself, one that she loves. Gabe comes back into her life and kinda turns it upside down. There are twists and turns, some romance and fun. This is a great book, and I will definitely be going back to Knights Bridge!
Great book. I really enjoyed the inter-familial relationships. You will enjoy the book too!!
The book kept me interested.
Enjoyed the interplay between the characters.
This was my first read by Carla Neggers, and it definitely won’t be the last.
It was a sweet, yet sexy read. Gabe and Felicity have chemistry in spades, even with a bit of a conflicted past between the two of them. I love that their relationship had time to build back up, instead of jumping in to the sack immediately. I enjoyed reading about the secondary characters, and this book had the perfect amount of drama to have me flipping through the pages to see how it was all going to end.
A great read that I would definitely recommend!
