My Review: 

I previously read both Falling for Bentley and Catching Haley and enjoyed them. So I was excited to see that this set included Haley & Bentley invite you to celebrate and concluded the series.  

Falling for Bentley introduces us to Bentley and Haley and the start of their realtionship. It is not an easy path for them and in the end decisions are made that could affect everyone in ways unimagined.  Bentley struggles with the life he leads, He wants to be a good role model for his brother, he wants to make his father happy, and he wants a life for himself.  Enter Haley. Haley has her own past that she's dealing with that always has a hold in her mind and colors how she views the world sometimes. Especially realationships.  But when she falls for Bentley, she really falls and then he makes a choice and it hurts her so deeply. 

Catching Haley deals with Bentley having to right wrongs of the past and pay for the decisions he made.  But it also deals with a little more as he struggles with a secret Haley kept from him and how to proceed.  Haley, naturally, is even more skeptical now that Bentley is back and she's unsure howshe can  trust him. There is more at stake than simply her heart, and she's not sure if she can risk it again, but Bentley is set on proving that giving him a second chance will be worth it.  

Haley and Bentley invite you to celebrate is a sweet little conclusion to this series, bringing a finality to their realationship and life together.  This little novellette gave glimpses into the future after Catching Haley. We got to see pieces of the wedding planning, prep and those adorable scenes of regular home life splashed in between.  It was a sweet, fitting conclusion to the series and I enjoyed every word. 




Message from Shawnte:

I’m so excited to have chosen this charity, to work with. $1 from every book sold in 2015 will go towards Be Brave Ranch by Ray Labonte and family. On the behalf of Be Brave Ranch and myself, thank you. The donation that you made today will make a difference in these children’s lives. (As of to date, this is the only place of its kind.)
xo,

Little Warriors Be Brave Ranch

Little Warriors is a national, charitable organization in Canada that is committed to the awareness, prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. The Little Warriors Be Brave Ranch by Ray LaBonte and Family is a treatment centre focused solely to help children who have been sexually abused, as well as their families. The Be Brave Ranch program offers these children a place to heal and increase their chances of growing into healthy adults, and supports both the child and their families in their own environment for a full year.

The Be Brave Ranch offers an evidence-based treatment program that combines multiple proven therapies for children ages 8-12. It starts with an initial 20-day period at the Be Brave Ranch, during which they form close relationships with the 7 other members of their peer-group (“cohort”). This is followed by long-term therapy and support for the child and their family lasting a full year. During this extended period, children come back to the Be Brave Ranch for 3 other 7-day periods for further therapy and to reconnect in person with their cohort.

During the one-year program there is more than 200 hours of diverse therapy for children and their families run by clinical professionals, and offering a unique program including:

·       Intensive trauma focused-cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT)
·       Art therapy
·       Play therapy
·       Music therapy
·       Recreational activities
·       Peer group (cohort) support

Therapy is provided in an enriched “camp-like” environment in which children also have lots of fun! Being in cohorts helps each child recognize they are not alone, and gives them peers who have experienced similar traumas. The children form long-term relationships with deep bonds, and these also help the children heal.

Child abuse affects the whole family; thus, our program also incorporates family-centered therapy. Children come to the Be Brave Ranch with a parent or caregiver whenever possible. The Be Brave Ranch provides a safe environment for the child and their family to heal.

When Shawnté is not sitting at her kitchen table hammering away on her laptop while watching the moose chase her cows across the yard, yes this really happens. Then she is busy attend school activities, community events and chauffeuring children here and there. She is big on playing softball and watching hockey.

When the time comes to relax, you will find her snuggled underneath her down comforter reading on her Ipad. Wait…who are we kidding, if the dishes, vacuuming, laundry or the bathrooms needs a hose down, you’ll always hear her say, “Just after this chapter.” She doesn’t have a favorite author or best story because everyday she falls in love with someone new. 

Shawnté is technology challenged so with the help of Lacy you can find her anywhere. Please go like her page and leave a review/star rating on the books she’s wrote.
