He’s still a flawed perfectionist.
She’s still wildly independent.
Now they’re making their own rules.
Review
‘She chose me, she wanted me, she was keeping me.’
The Walsh family is quickly becoming an addiction of mine. I had only read the first book in the series when I took the plunge and signed up for a copy of Restored. I since then binge read the four books that followed and fell more and more in love with these characters and their intertwined lives with each story told. Kate Canterbary has developed an intense and extremely interesting cast of characters and their storylines are unique, sexy and full of feels and angst.
‘You’re kidding yourself if you think shenanigans won’t go down at your wedding. Fixing old houses and fucking shit up at weddings. It’s what the Walsh kids do.”
Restored welcomed back fan favorite couple, Sam and Tiel, these two are the most unique and quirky so far in the Walsh family series and their unorthodox and eccentric personalities once again made for a fascinating story. Newly engaged and ready for a family Sam and Tiel have a hard road in front of them. Between their two families, the drama is never lacking and the hardships are still constantly around the corner. Restored was so much more than a baby and wedding book. We get fresh insight into Sam and Tiel and even more exciting for me was the bits of insight we get into Shannon and Erin. Since these books timelines all overlap, seeing how the secretive nature in The Cornerstone affected the other siblings and watching it al unfold from an outside was also a highlight for me. But still just being back in the world of Sam and Tiel was a delight, hard at times, but still a delight.
‘There was never a time in the history of Sam and Tiel that things simply worked out well.’
Kate Canterbary books just get better and better and I now consider myself a true fan. I am almost sad that I am all caught up on the series because now I have to wait like all the others for her to publish the next Walsh kid book. Also, while I am ranting what am I supposed to do once she runs out of Walsh kids, that will truly be a sad day, but let’s get back on track. If you have already read Necessary restorations than you have undoubtedly already fallen in love with Sam and Tiel. It is impossible not to feel and symptomize with these two damaged hearts. If you have already gotten to know them then trust me you want to see their story continue.
