What a easy and hard to put down read! The dynamics between Autumn and Ember showed how sisters can be, annoying but who wants what is best for you. Tash and Mike were perfect partners for the sisters even if it didn’t seem so at first for one of the couples. The relationship that grows between Sadie, Tash’s daughter, and Autumn was heartwarming and developed very easily. Sadie had a difficult few years with her mother, so it was heartening to see her bloom. Ms Foster very rarely fails to deliver and this was no exception. Heartily recommend!

I absolutely loved this new book from Lori Foster. I loved the relationship between the sisters Ember and Autumn, and the bond of sisterhood getting as much importance as the romantic relationship in this book. Tash and Saide were wonderful characters and such a perfect match for the amazing Autumn. The setting of the Rescue Farm was like a character in itself, I loved all of the animals and wish it was a real place that I could go visit. This book was another winner from Lori Foster, filled with her signature blend of a steamy romance, strong powerful women characters, and lovable animals. I'm not sure if this book is a stand alone or part of a series, but if it is part of a series, I'd love to revisit the Farm and these characters again!

The Somerset Girls is another heartwarming read by one of my favorite authors. In this book, it showcases the deep bond that sisters can share but also the ups and downs in the relationship. Having two sisters of my own, I feel I can really relate. But not only is family really prominent in this book but so is romantic relationships. Both sisters find their happily ever after and I loved it all.

Autumn and Ember are completely opposite in personality and their views on romance. When Autumn’s high school crush Tash moves back into town with his little daughter Sadie, it is actually Ember who pushes them together. Autumn would rather just stay home and read. I loved the relationship that developed between these three. As for Ember, on the surface she is seen to be a free spirit and flighty, but she has a painful past. She has been noticing Mike, the hired man at their animal rescue farm for awhile but she is really looking for more than just sex. Mike is seen as this playboy, but we see him as so much more.

As much as I loved the relationship side to this story, I absolutely adored the actual animal rescue farm where all of this takes place. For little Sadie, it is a place where she really shines. And I can’t forget to give a shout out to Pavlov, the six-year old coonhound that loves this family so much! This was definitely another wonderful read.

I received an ARC of The Somerset Girls from Netgalley, and this is my honest review.

This book is now in my list of top 3 favorite Lori Foster books! I loved the relationship between the sisters Ember and Autumn. It was such a true representation of sisters. Tash and his daughter Sadie were such a sweet father/daughter team. Plus, you have Mike who works for the sisters on their farm where they home the animals they have rescued. This story ties everyone together beautifully. It is all about connections both new and old. This story was so full of love! I absolutely recommend this book!

This is my first time reading Lori Foster and it won't be my last. I was immediately taken into the story of the sisters and their plight. I swooned at several parts and I laughed at a few. Foster is a great writer who weaves realistic romance into everyday life. Pick up this book for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

****The Somerset Girls is a sweet novel about sisters, a precocious seven year old, her father, a bunch of rescued farm animals and a family that looks after each other even when it appears they aren’t. The writing is good, filled with insight, humor, innuendo and romance. While the sisters are as different as night and day, they instinctively seem to know when the one or the other needs a shove in a different direction or a shoulder to lean on. This was a very pleasant read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley.

Lori Foster is a story telling GOD! I wanted to be part of this funny family. Mom is a hoot, the friendship the sisters have is amazing and the animals. Man I want to jump into the pages and live. Then you add the father/daughter duo of Tash and Sadie and I fell head over heels for this book.

This book is light, funny, sexy and emotional all rolled up into one great read. Autumn and Ember Are not only sisters but best friends and business partners. Embers building skills bring Autumns incredible designs to life. They live on a family farm that doubles as an animal sanctuary. The sisters parents live in a house on the farm so they can help with their Ailing father.
Ember has been fighting off feelings for the Farm hand Mike. Can she get past her emotional baggage to see what’s in front of her?
Autumn’s high school crush Tash moves back to town with his adorable daughter Sadie. Tash hires the sisters to do some projects around his house. As they get to know each other they help each other get over past relationships. Autumn comes into Sadies life when she needs it the most.
Lori Foster has a way of writing stories that keep you wanting more. The Intertwining storylines keep you interested and highly entertained. Let’s not forget the animals that pop up and some how become main characters. I recommend this book to first time Lori Foster readers or devoted readers like me.

“The Somerset Girls” by Lori Foster is categorized as family life fiction, contemporary romance, AND contemporary women’s fiction or, you could say, a little bit of everything for every type of reader.

Autumn and Ember Somerset run a rescue farm, but each also have their own businesses—Autumn is an interior designer and Ember is a building contractor.
The two share a tight bond and a house divided into separate living quarters.
When Autumn’s high school crush, Tash Ducker, returns to town with his daughter, more than redesigning his home is in store. Her heart is about to be restored as well.
Ember has her own heart that needs mending and Mike, who works on the rescue farm, is the guy to do it.

While there is little to no conflict you’d expect in a romance, “The Somerset Girls” has scenes with Tash’s daughter, Sadie, to make up for it. I’ll admit, Sadie’s scenes were my favorite.
Ms. Foster is on target with giving us the brand of hero she is known for—alpha and protective.

4.5 stars

This was a charming read! Family and relationship dynamics are always fascinating to me and I loved seeing the similarities/contrasts with sisters, Ember and Autumn. Mike and Tash, respectively, were perfect romantic matches for Ember and Autumn, although I felt Ember and Mike’s relationship was put in for an easy wrap-up to their ending. It was Tash’s daughter, Sadie, however, who stole my heart and the show! Her innocent love and appreciation of little things warmed the heart and her resiliency in a tough situation-gah! And her obvious love of all the animals at Autumn and Ember’s place was just too adorable for words.

Overall this was a satisfying read! I loved the various relationships and connections and got a kick out of each character’s courtship. But seriously, Sadie and her flock of furry friends are what I’m remembering most because they were just too darned cute and stole any pages they appeared on.

I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley/Harlequin and this is my honest review.

Loved Autumn and Embers stories! In usual Lori Foster style there are animals, hot macho surprisingly soft hearted men and some strong women. The sister bond between Autumn & Ember added a layer to the characters that I enjoyed getting to know. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy.

I had a hard time distinguishing Autumn's and Ember's voices in the first third of the book, which made it confusing for me. It was almost a DNF, but I pushed through and eventually I figured it out. This isn't Ms Foster's strongest title, IMHO. Unfortunately, I found that it relied very heavily on tropes like high school crush, opposite sisters, single dad who adores his daughter and animal rescue... It would have been nice if there weren't so many tropes and instead just a stronger story. This wasn't terrible, but I didn't think it was great either (which surprised me as I really like Ms Foster's books normally).

Great characters. Sisters, Autumn and Ember, so different yet so close. Really enjoyed how this story all came together and played out. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley.

I absolutely loved this book, it’s a fun, sexy, and heartwarming story. I loved the family dynamics of Autumn, her sister Ember and how they took care of their parents. Autumn is the designer, Ember is the builder. They hired Mike and it’s obvious he and Ember belong together. Love that Autumn had a crush on Tash from high school. He’s just returned to his hometown with his daughter Sadie. Autumn falls hard for them and she’s so good with Aadie, my heart just melts. Tash can’t help falling for Autumn but his main concern is for caring for his daughter. It’s such a great read. I highly recommend this book.

Lori Foster has written another heartwarming novel about family dynamics, finding true love, and an animal rescue full of quirky characters. And then there is Pavlov, a redbone coonhound who watches over the entire Somerset family.

The Somerset family, parents Tracey and Flynn, and sisters Autumn and Ember, all live on a farm that serves as an animal rescue. Their hired man, Mike, lives in a loft above the barn. Autumn and Ember were so different in many ways, but where it was important they had each other’s back.

Ember is the builder, Autumn is the designer, which I thought was funny because Ember was the one who always looked perfectly made up while Autumn showed no interest in her personal appearance, preferring to dress for comfort. Ember is the party girl, with an active dating life; Autumn is the very responsible one who would rather stay at home reading one of Karen Rose’s novels and eating ice cream. When Tash Ducker moves back to town after being gone for years, Ember sees an opportunity to hook up Autumn with the man she had a crush on in high school.

I liked everything about this book, but my favorite things are Tash’s relationship with his adorable seven-year-old daughter Sadie; the way Ember and Mike danced around their mutual attraction; and the way Autumn and Ember bantered but always had each other’s back. And Pavlov, who watched over all the humans and animals on the family farm.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest review.
