I have had to let this book simmer a little bit, before writing the review. I was completely blown away by this installment in the lives of Chris and Matt Taylor.
Being book three, if you made it this far . . you have clearly invested yourself to the series. You have already made your cries out loud when something isn't going your way or you have gasped when the unthinkable happens.
Gifts from the Past, continues that reader behavior. As we walk with the Taylor brothers through their daily life, we feel their struggles and celebrate their triumphs.
Yet for me, it was an eerie read at times. Only because it's was like art imitating life (my life). Things that were happening were so real, because I could pull pieces of my life and lay them side by side to compare. No I'm not saying it was 100% carbon copy my life, but it was so close . . I often wondered if the author had me followed, had my phone lines tapped.
Since book one (Expectations), I have finished each book eagerly awaiting the next to come out. I will now sit back and patiently wait what happens next. Since the author did leave the book in cliffhanger mode.
Great series, that I highly recommend.

After reading the first two Taylor twins books I couldn't wait for this one to come out. I bought it when I woke up this morning at 5:30 am and did not put it down until it was done. The relationships and the characters in the book are so believable that its impossible not to love (or hate) them. The emotions surrounding them are overwhelming at times which makes the book even harder to put down.
The relationship between Chris and Aiden continues to grow and strengthen as they enjoy being new parents to their adopted children. Matt struggles to make a relationship with Carley until its clear that it cant happen for the sake of their daughter. Ally, an old friend, comes back into their lives and helps in ways that wasn't expected. There is a lot going on but in a way that is easy to follow and very easy to read. The laughter, tears, heartache, and love all come together in a way that makes this one of the best books I've picked up in a while. I'm definitely anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.
