Book Review- Grace by Jennifer Hanks

I love this author and this series. The DeMarcos are a great family. It is fun to read as the brothers meet their matches and add to the family. Grace is the only girl in the family, so her brothers are extra protective when it comes to her. I feel so sorry for her and the testosterone she has to deal with. I like how she meet Tyler. He isn’t the nicest to her in the beginning. Things aren’t what they seem. Tyler is not an easy read for Grace. He keeps her on her toes the whole story. She is never really sure how he feels at first about her, lots of mixed signals. Tyler has a lot going on and a tragic situation to deal with. I love how Grace steps up and helps him. She has her own secrets she is keeping, and a dangerous situation is unfolding.
I loved these two together. Grace brought Tyler out of his shell, encouraging him to interact with her and her family. She is awesome because she refused to give up. She also lucked out because Ty had her back when it came to her brothers. I could just picture those confrontations.
The author also has other past characters visiting in this story. I love revisiting with past characters and see how things are going. As a reader, I’ve completely bought into the series involving the family. I can’t wait to read the next book. I give it a 5 out of 5.

This is my first read from this author and, I must say, I really enjoyed it. I thought the writing was great and I found the characters to be very likable. There were some lighthearted moments and some sweet times that had me falling in love with Tyler and Grace. I would like to go back and start at the beginning of the series so I can meet the Dimarco men.

Having not read any of the previous books in the series I loved that I could pick up and not be completely lost. At first the writing style drove me nuts and I was having a hard time getting into but that quickly changed and I read through the rest of it very quickly. Love the characters even some of the smaller ones and can’t wait to go back and read the previous books as well as catch any future books.

I have loved every book in the The DiMarcos Series. Everyone of these women is sweet and capable and lovable. Every man is strong and equally caring. It was awesome to finally catch up with the lone DiMarco girl.

Grace was one of my favorites.of the women. I loved her. She's strong and the most caring person in a world of wonderful females. She's perfect for Tyler. I especially liked when she tells him off when his first reaction is to not take care of his half-siblings. She's willing to put up with a lot to show her love to the people in her life but that doesn't make her a door mat. She's more than happy to tell everyone what they need to hear. Well, except her personal secret!

Tyler doesn't really get a chance to invite Grace into his life. She just starts showing up, offering help when he needs it most and always being there for him.

Tyler is so socially awkward. It's painful for him and painful for those around him, including the reader! He's such a good man though. Grace is perfect for bringing him into the wonderful world of a huge family and instant friends and to incredibly helpful as he learns to be a parent. Together they're perfect for his overly social sister and also shy brother. They can provide the perfect family environment to not only the kids but other assorted people in need of a home.

I laughed and cried in equal measures and zoomed through this book because I couldn't put it down.

I haven't read the previous books in this series before but I thought I'd start with this one. It definitely didn't matter when I read it cause it was easy to get into. I absolutely loved Tyler and Grace together. Their chemistry and love story is beautiful. I'm going to be reading the previous books now.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First off, I LOVE the cover. It's very elegant and classy. I love the dress and the image that's depicted. Very Graceful. Loved the story line. It's very solid. Although it was super sad about Tyler's father and Tara and how the kids were taking their deaths. My heart went out to them. And that's one reason I know this is a solid story line because it makes you feel for the characters as if you're actually in the story with them. I felt like the characters were extremely easy to relate to and I fell in love from the moment I opened the cover to the moment I closed the book. I love both Grace and Tyler's character images. Very sexy yet wholesome. I love the idea of Grace's big family of brothers and her father. It's something that's super easy to relate to yet it's like a family goal as well for a lot of us. I love that the kids and Grace softened Tyler up after his hard time and that Tara and his father's death took on a huge significance with everyone in the story. The scenes of Grace with her dad really struck a cord with me and it was awfully touching. I loved the complete family feel that the overall plot line had and it really warmed my heart in a way that it hasn't been in a long time. As a story of redemption and how two people not only found the love of each other, but also of a family coming together at long last; I can totally tell you that I'm going to be reading the rest of the series. Every single one. 5/5 stars. Excellent book. Excellent author. Look forward to reading more.

First book I’ve read in this series and I’m off now to read the rest I loved Grace and Tyler, it’s a lovely romance, not too much angst or drama with the couple themselves which I loved, I hate it when there is tons trying to keep pulling them apart. It’s a nice story with a happy end abc a little drama. Only criticism if have if any is the epilogue , it ends so oddly and not about the couple, it’s to lead into another story, but it feels so out of place and incomplete, it should end on Tyler and Grace and their future, minor criticism but felt a bit jarring at the end. But great read overall

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

This is my first book by this author. GRACE is part of a series, but I read it as a standalone. I was able to easily follow the storyline without reading the others in the series.

Tyler is great for Grace. I'll definitely be reading others in the series now!

I started to read the book and immediately liked the language. However, the contradiction in the beginning of the book did not sit well with me. I understand that shit happens, that despite tragedies life continues and it is actually a good thing. What I do not understand, how the author could wrap losing the parents, strong desire to go to party, lack of questions about parents and ok with moving into a 24 hours time frame. I know that romance novels are fiction, but I really appreciate it, when they are written close to reality. Especially, when touching such sensitive subjects and adding kids to the mix.
I will possibly check other books by Jennifer Hanks, but I struggled with this one.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thanks to the author and NetGalley for a kindly provided review copy!

Great read, the story of Grace and Tyler.

She is from a large family, who are sometimes overbearing. he has just lost his father and ended up with a family to look after. She wants to help him, but is unsure what to do given her attraction to him. Will he let her in?

Only the second book I have read in this series, but want to go back and read the rest now.

This was a really well written book. It is part of a series that I haven’t read before but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this one. And I just one clicked the first book in the series to catch up! Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I love this series and have been anxiously awaiting for Grace's book. It was just perfect! Tyler Morgan is the ideal guy for Grace, rather Tyler thinks so or not. He is strong and silent, but Grace is doggedly determined when dealing with Tyler. These two are the perfect opposites who come together to make the perfect couple. Loved them!

The different dynamics in this story are heartwaring and heartbreaking at the same time. Sophie and Seth are scene stealers.

Hopefully you have read the other books in this series. While not necessary to follow GRACE, you are missing out an an amazing family that are super close and were given spectacular stories by Jennifer Hanks.

Thanks NetGalley and Bravia Books. LLC for this ARC!
