In one week I read all 5 of these books! Yes, that's a lot of reading, but I did it in little bits here and there as I got lots of other things done around the house, so it only sounds bad. Why did I read all 5 in one week...because they were good! These 5 books finish off the story started in book one about the DiCarlo sisters. Not all of them go by the same last name as they didn't even realize until the start of book one that they were sisters. They discovered this family secret when their father George DiCarlo passed away. At the reading of his will they discover that they each have sisters they know nothing about and, to make matters worse if they want any part of the rather large inheritance they must give up their current job and help get their late father's newest resort up and running. Each has a specialty that they can bring to this newest project, but it does mean sacrificing what they have been doing for years. The alternative though is to lose the inheritance and have the money they would have earned given to a charity that they could not possibly support on their own.
In book one the main focus is on the oldest, Cami and how she is taking the news and on her budding relationship with Vince the grounds keeper, and local landscape architect. In that book you soon discover that not only did George orchestrate their vocations he also made attempts to orchestrate their love lives by talking to several men that he thought would be perfect for his daughters.
In these other books each of the sisters are highlighted. You are taken on a journey of them learning to trust each other, and open up about things from their past. They of course all end up falling in love, and since the title of the series is the DiCarlo Brides, in can be determined that they all end up getting married too, or at least engaged. On top of the romantic element that is present in each of the books there are also lots of twists, turns and complications. Mysterious events are taking place and usually it's not who you think would be the people behind it that are causing these events to happen.
All of the books were well written. I especially appreciated that, while being romance novels, they were not filled with explicit content. I look forward to reading more by Heather Tullis in the future.
I'd give this series 5 stars!
