Set against the backdrop of the golden sands and crystal clear waters of Cabarita Beach three sisters inherit an inn and discover a mystery about their grandmother’s past that changes everything they thought they knew of their family…Bindi Summer, the hard-working manager at The Waratah Inn is tired, feeling low, and wondering where her life is headed. Then, she is blind-sided by a shock … by a shock revelation and the sudden arrival of her ex-boyfriend, who shows up at the inn, questioning his decision to leave her almost two years earlier.
When Josh Owens, an old high school crush, shows up out of the blue, all Bindi wants is to hunker down and ride out the storm, but Josh won’t be put off so easily.
In the midst of her chaotic life, it’s Bindi’s turn to read the journals Nan wrote years earlier, discovered by her sister Kate in an old wooden box. The mystery of what happened to Charlie Jackson continues to unravel as his letters to Edie follow his journey from a teenager in love, to a pilot for the RAAF and beyond.
In this dramatic conclusion to the heartwarming saga, the three Summer sisters will finally learn the truth they’ve longed to uncover about their past, and why Nan kept so many secrets from them all these years.
A heartwarming journey from brokenness to wholeness for fans of Carolyn Brown, Lauren K. Denton, Rhys Bowen and Danielle Steele.

Brigid Lohrey did an amazing job with the narration. If you like women’s fiction, you will love this one. I highly recommend it.
The Summer Sisters
The Waratah Inn, Book 3
By: Lilly Mirren
Narrated by: Brigid Lohrey
I have enjoyed this series so much, but I definitely love Bindi’s story the most. Being at the Inn, and dealing with real life issues made her easy to relate to. She is afraid to venture too far into the future, to commit and find that true happiness. Until she isn’t! With cameos by her two sisters, we enjoy the real meaning of family. I also love the integration of their Grandmother and her first love, Charlie. What a love story Lilly Mirren has snuck in there with the girls and those diaries. It’s one to enjoy, and the finale is absolutely heartwarming. Loved every minute!
Brigid Lohrey finishes out the series with her wonderful narration. It’s consistent between books and and continues to bring each character to life. Her accents are spot on, and she tells the story with ease. It’s a pleasure to listen to her.

A tearjerker finale of the Summer Sisters series, this is the story of Bindi with her health and relationship struggles, and we find out what happened to Charlie. I loved this story; it is beautifully written, and the character are phenomenal. I highly recommend this series.
I can’t remember when I last enjoyed a series as much as this one.
Fabulous characters, romance, surprises, secrets revealed and flashbacks to times gone by.
Set mainly in coastal New South Wales, the stories in each book are centred around three sisters, their family and friends, and of course, The Waratah Inn.
Each book is well written and unputdownable; highly recommended.
I love this series! This is a beautifully written book that will tug on your heartstrings. It was an absolute joy to read and I highly recommend this entire series. I received a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
The Summer Sisters is Bindi’s story. She is the third sister. The reader learns a great deal more about Bindi, Edie and Charlie. Bindi gets a visit from her ex and runs into an old high school crush. I am delighted for Bindi to get her story told. There is drama and some surprises in this well written book. It is a very satisfying conclusion to the lives of the Summer Sisters. You can enjoy this book even if you have not read the other two, but having read the other books doubled my pleasure!
Epic Generational Women’s Literature
This is a very satisfying end to the multi-book series, ‘The Waratah Inn’. This could easily be made into a classy mini-series, not unlike ‘The Thornbirds’. The story involves several generations and begins just before WWII. There is love and loss and beauty throughout each segment of the story. This final book ties up many loose ends. I was very satisfied with how and when it ended. Bravo! I am considering getting this series in hardback as I know that I will read it several more times. Also, I am excited to read this author’s next series. I received this book for free from the author and voluntarily chose to post my honest review.
