Three Sisters

Blackberry Island, Book 2

By: Susan Mallery

Narrated by: Natalie Ross

After Andi Gordon is jilted at the altar, she makes the most impetuous decision of her life - buying one of the famed Three Sisters Queen Anne houses on Blackberry Island. Now the proud-ish owner of the ugly duckling of the trio, she plans to open her own pediatric office on the first floor, just as soon as her hunky contractor completes the work. Andi’s new future may be coming together, but the truth is she’s just as badly in need of a major renovation as her house.

When Deanna Phillips confronts her husband about a suspected affair, she opens up a Pandora’s box of unhappiness. And he claims that she is the problem. The terrible thing is, he’s right. In her quest to be the perfect woman, she’s lost herself, and she’s in danger of losing her entire family if things don’t change.

Next door, artist Boston King thought she and her college sweetheart would be married forever. Their passion for each other has always seemed indestructible. But after tragedy tears them apart, she’s not so sure. Now it’s time for them to move forward, with or without one another.

Thrown together by fate and geography, and bound by the strongest of friendships, these three women will discover what they’re really made of: laughter, tears, love, and all.

I really enjoyed listening. It's how you wished life work. Life happens and then things get worked though.

Don't expect Fool's Gold

Susan Mallery books are among my favorites reads (listens). But if you're expecting the same tone as the Fool's Gold series you might be disappointed. I really liked the characters in this book (though not in the first book of the series) and was so involved I found myself crying all the time. That's the difference - there is a heavier or more serious tone to this book. Reminded me of Kristan Higgins' books.

very good read

loved it. heart warming and touching very good I enjoyed listening to this book so much

Must Love Author

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This is my 4th book and last book from this author. All of the books I own from this author seem to be on the dark side. Life is what it is! I don't need to spend precious listening time on characters who can't get out of there own way. I am on chapter 7 and what a downer 5 of them have been.

What could Susan Mallery have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I purchased due to reader Natalie Ross, one of my fave readers. Her male voice is great.
I had hoped due to reviewers, that this book would be different than my other reads from this author.
If this author writes on the bright side, I have not seen it.
H.E.A. endings are great, but it is the journey that makes a great listen, not just the ending.

Which scene was your favorite?

Through Chapter 7, only the scenes with Wade were good. The rest were depressing. Gads, these poor good husbands, what a waste!

Did Three Sisters inspire you to do anything?

I try to stay away from weak flawed women, life has so many of "I can't or I must" women, who throw away a good man

Perfect beach read

Great narrator. It's a simple, heart string, listen to on the beach type of story.

amazing

I love this book! it made it seem like that everyone was not going to be together in at the last minute everything was great. Perfect ending

Well done!

The change in voices made it easier to follow along! I really enjoyed this book and how it reflects back on the books before it!

WOW rip me open!

This book has it all. From one extreme emotion to the next. Any woman cant help but to identfy with one of the women from this story. I know for me it covers alot of the thoughts that mothers ( esp young mothers) think and are either told not to talk about or feel ashamed that they felt that way. Brings to light that HEY I am not the only one who may feel like this.......
I think it is a must read for any woman in a relationship, trying for a new one, or is just a mother who feels like she has to fix the world for her family and the issues with being the savior so to speak. Dont forget to grab the tissues this book will make you cry and normaly I am not a cryer lol.

Hard to put down

I loved the relationships between the three woman and how they came together. Wonderful story of neighborly love! Also a wonderful story about marital relationships.

They felt like new friends!

Story++++. Narration begins too monotone, gets better. Best Mallery so far, more in this series?
