Ronan

Another interesting story in the Casella family. Ronan and Eliza were friends, then lovers, and more. I enjoyed the positive side of Eliza, even though she gave up a lot for her family, as well as her strength to move forward. Ronan was very generous and secretive until he explained his past to Eliza and his family. I enjoyed the story as well as the series. I received a copy of this book through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

4 star Review Ronan (The Casella Cousins #6) by Kathryn Shay I have been thoroughly enjoying the novellas in The Casella Cousins series from Kathryn Shea. This is the sixth book in the series and is Ronan and Eliza Ellington’s story and was a great addition to the series. I have been intrigued by Ronan since he was first mentioned in the series and this story answered my questions. Having left home at eighteen and making a success in the movie industry, Ronan has finally come back home, after disappearing for some time. What has happened in the intervening years to keep him from coming home? The Casella cousins are very close and his disappearance from their lives hurt them all in one way or another. Now that he is finally back, will he finally give them the answers that they have wanted for so long? The writing was strong, with characters that were easy to relate to and a story line that you cannot help but become invested in. I really liked both Ronan and Eliza, they have both been through so much and finally can see light at the of their tunnels. Sure Ronan has had fame and success but something was always missing.This was an entertaining, emotional friends to lovers story that ticked boxes for me. Can his return home bring him the peace and chance at happiness that he deserves? Will he allow himself to open up to Eliza?

ARC for honest review with no compensation Ronan is book 6, the final one in the Casella Cousins series and a standalone novella but reading the prior books gives you a better understanding of this family dynamics. We have been waiting for this dark mysterious man..and now here he is!! Ronan has been gone for over 20 years but has been appearing in some of the prior books and now we get to find out...why he left, where he’s been and what the future holds... What an amazing, well written, family oriented series by Kathryn Shay. If you haven’t read this series it. Is definitely a MUST READ!!
