Each of the books in this boxed set is beautifully written and captivating. The books offer insight into the dynamics of a close knit family...the love, support, and even the squabbles. At the centre of each book is a couple who are dealing with grief owing feelings,, conflicts and uncertainties. As well, timely topics such as teenage pregnancy, autism, and marital conflicts are handled with a great deal of perception and compassion, and make reading these books even more engaging.
I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
This story is another keeper in the Friessens series of books. Jeremy is a young, carefree man who isn’t really looking too far in the future in terms of relationships or career. Tiffy is the girl he has never forgotten. The one night they had together has been burned into his memory. She is also the sister of his best friend, and therefore supposedly off limits. She left town after their night together, three years ago, but she has just returned and won’t give him the time of a day. When Jeremy learns the reason why she left town, he is forced to make some decisions that will test his very character and could cost him his best friend. Tiffy has kept a secret from her family too. She doesn’t believe she has a future with Jeremy, at least not the one she wants deep down in her heart. Read this perceptive and deftly written book to discover how Jeremy and Tiffy’s story unfolds.

A REASON TO BREATHE
What do people with autism know about love? Do they experience love like we do? These are questions that are skillfully explored in Trevor and Jasmine’s story. Both are high-functioning autistic adults. They were both witnesses to a bank robbery, and their attention to detail allowed them to give very detailed descriptions of the two suspects. The robbery also gave Katy, Trevor’s sister who was also at the bank when it was robbed, more insight into Trevor’s inner workings. He protected her when the robbers threatened her with a gun, something she and others could not believe he could do. He also talked freely with Jasmine and experienced none of the awkwardness and unease he usually has with strangers. It is Katy who realizes that perhaps Trevor needs more and is capable of handling more outside of his usual routine. She helps to bring Trevor and Jasmine together, to be at least friends with so much in common. Their story also includes insights into what each is experiencing as they get to know each other. Even though autistic people find it difficult to express or show love, to communicate in general, it does not mean that they don’t feel or need love.
I received an ARC of this boxed set and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
