I love family saga type novels. The kind where you're introduced to a big, larger than life family, and you get to see each member of that family fall in love. Some of my favourites are Kristen Proby's In Seattle series, Nora Robert's MacGregor series, and Bella Andre's Sullivans series.
So the Callaways was perfect for me. I really enjoyed getting to know each member of the family, and watching them fall in love.
I loved each book, but I would have to say my least favourite was book one, I didn't feel as much chemistry between Aiden and Sara as I did with the other couples in the series, but being the first book in a series you can forgive it. And I did enjoy seeing them again through the books in the series.
Each book just got better and better. I fell in love with the series, and highly recommend it for fans of contemporary adult romance! It's definitely a series you can sink you teeth into!
After finishing one book, I couldn't wait to dive into the next. So much so that when I got to the end of book 8, Somewhere Only We Know, that I found myself at a bit of a loss.
Instead of writing up full reviews of all 8 books for you, I decided that I would overview the series, encompassing all of the books, as well as the Callaway clan with an agnostic review AND show you what I thought the characters looked like with a character cast!
I fell in love with the Callaways! They are such a big, and loving family, that I couldn't help but be captivated by them. Loving each character individually, but also as part of the whole.

To bring each of the books alive, this is how I pictured each of the characters from the series.
