Juliet Shakespeare is done with love. With a growing floristry business and an
adorable daughter to raise, life after separating from her husband is
complicated enough – the last thing she needs is a man.
But when handsome single father, Ryan Sutherland, arrives in town, everything
changes. As much as she tries to distract herself, Juliet can’t help but be
drawn to the easy-going Romeo next door and the way he makes her feel.
Photographer Ryan is only back in his hometown for a few months so there’s no point
falling for someone he’ll just have to say goodbye to. But he didn’t account
for Juliet – the intriguing and beautiful woman next door. And in her, he might
just have found everything he ever wanted . . .

My Review:
loved the Shakespeare Sisters series from the very beginning and devoured every
book. So when the fourth book in the series ‘By Virtue Fall’ was offered as a
review book on Carrie Elks Reader’s Group Facebook page I immediately requested
a copy. You can imagine my excitement when I received an email from the Little,
Brown Book Group only a view days later also with the request to read this book.
I was super excited and started reading as soon as I could.
Virtue Fall’ we meet Juliet Shakespeare. Juliet left England and her sisters
years ago when she got pregnant and married a rich American who seemed to be
perfect at the time. Unfortunately her marriage soon started to fall apart. Now
Juliet is in the middle of a divorce and she has a young daughter to protect.
And this isn’t easy with an ‘ex’ husband who seems to like making it hard on
her. But Juliet is determined to make sure her daughter still gets the best
life possible. And the last thing she wants is another guy in her life. But
when she meets her handsome neighbor Ryan she just doesn’t seem to be able to
stay away from him.
little bits about Juliet in the previous books, and she always seemed so
unhappy and far away from her family. So I was super excited to finally be able
to read more about Juliet and find out who she really was. And let me tell you,
I loved Juliet’s story. Juliet married young and moved away from her family and
now finds herself in a rough situation. And I loved everything about Juliet. I
loved how strong she was and how hard she worked for everything. And Juliet was
just a great mom. The moments between Juliet and her daughter were so fun to
read about.
character was definitely one of my favorite man in the Shakespeare sister
series. I loved that he was a father and reading about how he was with his son
was just so good. And the way he took his time with Juliet and really wanted to
take care of her.. Wow! I loved that. The romance between Juliet and Ryan took
some time to develop and it was really good. I loved everything about this
couple.
Virtue Fall’ you can really see how good a writer Carrie Elks is. Not only was
the romance amazing, it really gives you all those romantic butterfly feels,
but Carrie is also able to make you really like or dislike different
characters. And boy did I dislike one of the characters in this book. I
definitely wanted to scream sometimes.
was another great one and I’m honestly sad that this book is the end of the
series. I loved getting to know the Shakespeare sisters and I definitely fell
in love with Carrie Elks writing.
