Two Great Romances in One Book!

One of my very favorite things about Tari Faris's novels is that she gives you two romances for the price of one. Sometimes when authors do this, it can be a little obnoxious, but I always love Faris's couples equally (or nearly). I wish the back cover copy (which I'm sure is decided by the publisher, not the author) would give a hint of the second romance, as it was the romance I was most drawn to in Since You've Been Gone. Madison will be familiar to readers of You Belong With Me, as she was engaged to Thomas. I loathed her in that book, and Faris did a wonderful job of redeeming her here. After I understood some of the things that made Madison who she was, I had much more sympathy for her. (Isn't that a lesson we all need to learn in real life, too?) I loved Madison and Colby's romance, especially the way he respected her, supported her, and gently nudged her toward the life God had for her. I also enjoyed the Jon and Leah romance, and I loved that their story started with a misunderstanding from their past. (I also loved that it wasn't a misunderstanding of the dreaded "just talk about it already!" variety...though one of those happened later.) One of my favorite aspects of the novel was the revelation regarding Otis, the brass hippo that mysteriously moves around the town square. The truth of how he moved and who moved him, as well as his origin, was so fun! I'm sorry to see this series end, as it's truly been a joy to read! Do yourself a favor and get your hands on all the books! Disclosure of material connection: I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review, and the opinions expressed are my own.

Amazing Conclusion to the Series

Since You've Been Gone by Tari Faris is book 3 in the Restoring Heritage series. I've read the first two books in this series and I have to say that this book ties everything up so beautifully. Heritage is a place you will want to visit again and again. This book could be read as a standalone novel, but I think it is even better read after the first two books. What sets Tari Faris's writing apart? It's not the small hometown or the sweet romance. It's no the quirky characters and interesting predicaments. All of those are definitely present in her books. But Ms Faris has such a unique voice. She weaves together authentic stories that make the small town of Heritage feel like home to readers, even those who have never lived in a small town before. Visit Heritage! A hippo named Otis and characters that feel like family will be there to meet you. I received a copy of this book from the author with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Wonderful book

With small town charm and the return of beloved characters, Since You've Been Gone, the third installment of author Tari Faris Restoring Heritage series, is sure to delight readers of contemporary romance. Ever since reading the first book in the series, Tari Faris quickly became a favorite contemporary romance author of mine. If you've ever lived in a small town where everyone knows everyone, you will love the town of Heritage, Michigan and its residents. I wish Heritage and was real, so I could move there and be friends with all my favorite characters! This book focuses on Leah Williams and Jon Kensingtons story, along with Madison Westmore and (newcomer to the series) Colby Marc's secondary storyline. Beloved characters from earlier books continue to play a role in the conclusion to the Restoring Heritage series. Readers could jump in and start with this book, but it is recommended to read the series from the beginning to get to know all the characters who are featured. If you've been wondering about the mysterious Otis the hippo, you must read this book!! All your questions will be answered! Since You've Been Gone is highly recommended for fans of contemporary romance, especially readers who enjoy novels by authors such as Denise Hunter, Becky Wade, Courtney Walsh, Melissa Tagg, and Susan May Warren. It is bittersweet to say goodbye to this wonderful cast of characters and the town of Heritage, but I can't wait to see what Tari Faris has in store for us next! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
