The Gin Sisters' Promise by Faith Hogan

 





Synopsis:


Three estranged sisters. Six months to come back together.

When Georgie, Iris and Nola's mother died and their father disappeared into his grief, the sisters made a pact: they would always be there for one another, no matter what.

Now, decades later, they haven't spoken for years and can barely stand to be in the same room. As his health declines, their father comes up with a plan to bring them back to one another. In his will, he states that before they can claim their inheritance, they must spend six months living together in their childhood home in the village of Ballycove, Ireland, and try to repair their broken relationships.

As the months progress, old resentments boil over, new secrets threaten to come out and each sister must decide what matters more: their pride, or their family. Can they overcome their past and find a way to love each other once more?


Review:





Georgie, Iris, and Nola are three irish sisters, they live in London now, but they are estranged and they haven't seen each other in a long time, until their widowed father dies and they have to go back to the small coastal town of Ballycove for the funeral and the will reading. They are surprised to hear that before they have access to their part of inheritance they have to live together in their family's home. You could easily understand that it won't be an easy journey for them but, maybe, in the end they'll gain more than the money they expect.

I can't begin to describe how much I loved this novel from the cover, and the characters to the storyline.

Georgie, Iris, and Nola have clashing personalities, they are each jelous of the others, and they keep their secrets from the others.
I enjoyed to see them change and grow up chapter after chapter, it felt like I was there with them supporting and cheering for them from the sideline. 
I have a great relationship with my sister so I couldn't grasp their behaviour at all time but I was so proud of them in the end because they had the courage to face their problems and overcome the hardles together.

The Gin Sisters' Promise was very well written, full of emotion and an ocean that silently in the background uplifts the mood.

I absolutely recommend to read Faith Hogan's works, she became one of my favourite voices in the Women's Fiction world.

    Synopsis: At 28, with a Ph.D under her belt and a meteoric rise to head of Research and Development at Mercer Robotics, Reese feels her decision to put her career first has worked out pretty well for her. Sure, she doesn’t have many personal relationships to speak of, but she does love her team and they like her too. So when she’s called to the Big Boss’s office and told she will be looking after his son while he does a rotation in her lab, she’s not thrilled that her hard work and achievements have boiled down to being a glorified babysitter – especially to a billionaire playboy with zero experience of mechanical engineering. But then tall, blond Thomas walks into her office, and Reese realizes this assignment is going to be even harder than she thought.

      Synopsis:   He’s the hot, tattooed bad boy that I traded insults with...and now he wants my help? Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He’s untouchable and desperate to turn it around. Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I’m not a twenty-year-old has-been. Focused on the future, I can’t afford to get distracted. But I recognize the desperation in Knox’s eyes, and I can’t say no to him, either. It should have been an easy task, but nothing about Knox is easy. One minute we’re arguing, and the next I’m enjoying his shirtless handstands a little too much. Falling for him would be a mistake…     Review:    Burnout tells t

I’ll hire live-in help, have limited involvement with the kid, and keep my life just the same as it’s always been. I finally find a nanny who lives up to my exacting standards. But the only problem is, every time I look at her, the future I thought I wanted starts to crumble. Nothing in my life is going according to plan… and the wriggling poo machine in my arms is unexpectedly worming her way into my heart.
