What an amazing beautiful story this was There was so much about this book that I could relate to on so many levels Trey and Sessa were a perfect match Both needing each other to heal heartache and begin to live again after such tragedies in their lives And how could you not fall in love with Pansie girl A princess in every way

Has everything in a good book.Even tho a short story, it had all the emotions and action and surprises to keep you reading The characters are likable and they have the troubles as well as the love to bring you into the story I love that the main female character, Seesa is strong and yet vulnerable I really like this author and will read by her.

OutstandingOwned this book for some time before I read it Love Kathleen Y Barbo s books, but the way this one started, I thought it was going to be serious, possibly depressing Once I got into it, it was fabulous A serious subject was handled sensitively and the fun began Don t be put off by the beginning Read it and enjoy.

Even though it was very slow at the beginning, and the preaching was overdone, I loved the plot and how it developed The ending wasn t as good as I hoped, it needed an epilogue.

Fall is here and thus the perfect time to spend reminiscing about summer, romance and of course some fireflies and cowboys Kathleen Y Barbo s latest novel Firefly Summer is exactly what you need for sitting by the fire, on a cold crisp morning and curling up with an unforgettable romance that will leave you sighing by the time you get to the final page Sessa Chambers lives in the very small but quaint town of Sugar Pines, Texas where anything that happens is well known by anyone in town She is t [...]

This is the third Kathleen Y Barbo book I ve read, and it s taken me a while to try again after I didn t enjoy the first two One was the last book in a series, which made it harder to pick up The other was the first book in a series, but I didn t like it because the back cover copy gave away two major plot points within the book, and I found it difficult to engage with parts of the plot They felt a little off to me I later found out it was badly marketed it wasn t historical romance, as I d thou [...]

This was truly a story about healing and friendship and finding new purpose in life To me, it wasn t a straight forward romance, as it was about so much The secondary characters had as much to do with the story as the main characters I love the name, Sessa It really fit the heroine and the author wrote her struggles and triumphs beautifully Life had thrown her so many curve balls but she got through them with the help of her family and friends who stuck by her even if they were a little stiflin [...]

Firefly Summer is a charming tale filled with humor, romance, and inspiration Sessa Chambers and Trey Brown are endearing characters with a unique, compelling story I loved the small town of Sugar Pine, Texas, and was especially entertained by the local book club members and their meetings I enjoyed Firefly Summer and look forward to stories from this talented author I received a complimentary copy of Firefly Summer from Redbud Press in exchange for an unbiased review I appreciate the opportuni [...]

This is a true southern gem of a novel Y Barbo takes a tragic event and creates beauty from the ashes Sessa s son is killed by Trey in the course of a robbery They both struggle with their roles in the tragedy The romance is well developed and feels natural in its progression though I did have to wonder why Sessa didn t get legal advice about the custody issues Hopefully there will be a sequel, because I want to get to know people in town and maybe get recipes for some of the delectably describ [...]

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOKI really enjoyed this sweet romance I loved the Pies, Books and Jesus Book Club Kathleen Y Barbo writes a lovely, clean sweet romantic story that you will love The characters were special, and people you want to know personally Give this book a try I received this book from CFBA to read and review I was not required to write a positive review The opinions I have expressed are my own I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission s 16 CFR, Part 55.

Fireflies and blueberry pies, dancing in the rain with cowboysYeah, loved this book Y Barbo s writing kind of reminds me of Katie Ganshert s the author of Wishing on Willows The only thing that bothered me is that Sessa and Trey never make the connection that Trey is the cowboy from the rodeo from 15 years ago or if they do, they never talk about it Whereas, the readers knew all along P.S Love the ladies of the PBJ Book Club

FIREFLY SUMMER is such a cute southern romance Set deep in the heart of Texas, it s about a middle aged couple who ve both loved and lost I could so relate to Sessa Any mom of a prodigal son could I hope my son doesn t turn out as Sessa s did but he keeps my prayer life active I l love the carousel touch and the I loved this book the humor, the southern charm, Sessa and her supportive family and friends and of course, Trey who is a real hero The cover is simply adorable

I recently finished reading this title, and had such a satisfied feeling at the end The author did a great job tying up loose ends giving the reader a warm feeling of happily ever after I loved the small, home town feel of the setting, and the characters were very believable The underlying theme of forgiveness is entwined with a string of fireflies that brings the story together into a beautiful conclusion I recommend it highly

Although there is a romance, this story is so much Sessa and Trey are both scarred by their experiences with Sessa s son, and both feel guilty When they meet, neither is what the other expected but they turn out to be just what they each needed Forgiveness and redemption is the bigger theme in this emotional novel.

Probably one of the very best Kindle books I ve read in a VERY long time The author drew me into the story at the very beginning and I was taken on a pleasant journey into the lives of some well rounded characters that I truly enjoyed getting to know Such a joy after being disappointed with so many lackluster wannabe authors.

Very clean Good writing style despite switching POV Interesting characters Very Texas, I think Not like my small town Believable characters, but unbelievable love story Strays past Biblical forgiveness into the realm of incredulousness Would give this author another try, but probably not this series.

Pardon and forgivenessExcellent story with interesting characters The main characters have to deal with forgiveness from others as well as themselves and chance to correct mistakes that they made in the past.

true love does exist Love for a son, who grew up to be a not so good son, but he left a small child by the name of Pansy, who grammy took care of and loved deeply and a cowboy who did a terrible thing but she forgave him and they live happy ever after.

This is such a sweet story I think a lot of women dream about finding a perfect man Sessa was lucky enough to find hers The story of Trey and Sessa is a beautiful tale of patience, forgiveness, and love I adored this book and can t wait to read of the Pies, Books and Jesus series.
