Dean lost the great love of his life when his daughter, Clara, was just two months old. Since then, the entire community of Sutten Mountain has stepped up to help him, especially his family. Working long hours, he wants to find some stability for Clara in the form of a nanny, but they have yet to be a good fit for them. Liv shows up in town a little lost and alone. A chance meeting with Clara at the coffee shop, and she worms her way into her heart. Liv takes a chance to be Clara’s nanny. As she spends more time with Dean and Clara, and in the town of Sutten Mountain she realizes she is slowly falling in love with them and a home she has never had. Maybe it’s time for Liv and Dean to have a chance at love. 

 

Both of these characters broke my heart. Dean has a tragic past and feels his chance at true love has passed. I loved to see how much he grew throughout the book, becoming willing to let love in and trust his heart to someone. Though Liv’s story is not as tragic, she is a lost soul, unsure of where she is going. Seeing her find a home was such a happy experience. Though I loved Dean and Liv, the book’s star was Clara.  She is a three-year-old but going on thirteen. She has all the sass and so much love to give. I loved watching these three become a family full of love and happiness. 

 

I am sad that Sutten Mountain has concluded with this third book, but I am happy I got to experience this and the other two stories in the series. Kat Singleton writes characters that make you feel so invested. You cry with them, you laugh with them and you grow to love them. My heart broke for Dean, but it was pieced together again with the epic love he got to experience for a second time.
