Genre Romance/Fiction

I love a good family fiction story! If you have read Meghan's books before, you know that she writes steamy romance with lots of adult humor. In this book, she expanded her writing skills to write about a family, particularly the three children of the family. This book follows the three children, as well as their prospective romance interests. I thought Meghan did a great job with all of the characters and storylines. I thought this one was great and I really enjoyed the fiction side of this book!

Meghan Quinn is starting off 2022 just as strong as she ended 2021. The Reunion was an outstanding read. It stood out from Quinn's past books. Rather than focusing on one romance, it focused on three. These three romances were intertwined with a theme on family and sibling relationships. It was a lot of pieces to one story, but Quinn made it seem effortless and did so while maintaining her signature style of writing and humor. I was very impressed.

Three relationships sounds like a lot to follow, but it wasn't. Each couple had such a different dynamic. I loved getting all six POVs. Each character had a strong personality with unique quirks.  Their voices were very distinguished and easy to tell apart. I loved each of them and their relationships. It made it hard to pick a favorite couple, so I didn't. All were equally good.

Ford, the oldest Chance sibling, is a workaholic who had taken over every aspect of his parents' business. Larkin is Ford's assistant who is the yin to his yang. She helps make his business and life run smoothly. It was easy to see how they would make a great couple before they were even a couple. 

Cooper, the middle child, is trying to find his happiness after spending years in a job he hates and recovering from a divorce. Nina is a baker and a previous one night stand that Cooper can't seem to move on past. He has a big hole to dig himself out of with her.  I loved their banter. 

Palmer, the youngest and only girl, is returning home for the first time in a long time and is hiding that her influencer career has tanked. Beau is a doctor who was also Palmer's childhood crush. Sparks reignite when Palmer ends up on Beau's exam table. All I'm going to say about this pairing is that Palmer + wine = HILARIOUS. 

These relationships were a major part of this book, but not the only thing going on. There's also that sibling relationship thing I mentioned. Over the years, the three Chance children have distanced themselves from each other. Their reunion to plan their parents' anniversary party is anything but pleasant as they try to work together. It was surprisingly entertaining to read about them going to "war" with each other over the party plans. It made me invested in finding out what was causing their divide. When I finally found out, I was even more impressed with how Quinn wove the romantic and sibling relationships together. 

 So, yeah. A lot going on this book. While it might not have worked well for me with another author, it was a smash hit written by Quinn. I loved the Chance family dynamics, all three relationships, and the humor the was infused throughout the book. I could have happily spent time with each couple in a book of their own, but the intertwining of the three in this book made for an explosive story. I adored it. Kudos to Meghan Quinn for trying something new and making it work in the best of ways.

Thank you Montlake for this eARC!


I loved Quinn's The Wedding Game!
So was thrilled to see a new book coming out.

This is about the Chance family!
Martin and Peggy are about to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
They have built a beautiful life together and have raised three wonderful men in the process....
Ford, Cooper and Palmer. All they want is for their children to have the love they have had.
The three siblings come together to plan the best anniversary party for their parents and while doing do they have to come together as one and hopefully in the meantime find what they have been searching for along!

Quinn has a knack for writing about family dynamics.
Family is such a big theme in this book, and that takes precedence over the romance, but it was done in such a beautiful and authentic way. I loved the competition and the rivalry!
The family they have is something everyone should have in their lives and adored it in this book!
This was a fun, light hearted story. And I seriously loved everything about this book!

R.E.A.D. T.H.I.S!!!!!!

Excellent and fun! I didn’t love all of the many POVs but I loved the family dynamics. Not enough books have good families these days. They were dysfunctional, but they loved each other and that felt like real life to me.

Warning, this book had some steam!
