I been looking forward to reading this book and this series of THOSE SULLIVAN SISTERS: Without a Past . And I enjoyed the story the characters are telling me about themselves to.

This second book in Debra Salonen's Sullivan Sisters series continues the story of the triplets raised by their Aunt Ida Jane in the California Gold Country town of Gold Creek.Andi, an ex-Marine returns to care for Aunt Ida Jane who is becoming increasingly forgetful and unable to run her antiques shop. While Andi struggles with the increasing financial burden of restoring the old building, once a bordello, and finding ways to build the business, she encounters Harley Forester who works as a hired hand on her soon-to-be brother-in-law's ranch.It's instant attraction for Andi and Harley, who is kind and caring, and obviously not the cowboy he appears to be. Unfortunately, Harley suffers from amnesia, and Andi decides to help him find his past. But will learning who he is destroy their budding romance?Ms. Salonen has created a host of likable characters in her Sullivan Sisters trilogy. Several characters from book one reappear in her second book, and the reader is given a taste of the final story in the series. Each story stands alone, but you'll want to read all three. Without a Past is a sensitive portrayal of family struggles and triumphs, a glimpse into small-town life, and a story to warm your heart. Very highly recommended.
Another enjoyable book by Debra Salonen

Without a Past by Debra SalonenThe second book of a three book series, WITHOUT A PAST continues the story of the Sullivan triplets, Jenny, Andrea and Kristin. Book number one, MY HUSBAND MY BABIES, was Jenny's story. Book number two is Andrea's. Andi, as she is known by all, is an ex-marine and of all the sisters, seems to be the most independent and strongest of the three. She is currently helping their elderly Aunt Ida Jane run the antique shop that Ida Jane has owned for many years. Because of the affects of aging, the sisters feel that someone needed to help out Ida Jane, who was starting to become forgetful and absent-minded.There's a new guy in the town of Gold Creek, and he's come to live and work for Sam, the sisters' future brother-in-law and Jenny's future husband. But the spin on the new guy is that he has amnesia. Who is this gorgeous man, Andi wants to know. And as she gets to know the mystery man who calls himself Harley, she offers to help him find his past.Debra Salonen has come up with another wonderful romance in WITHOUT A PAST. As with her other novels, Salonen is able to create likable characters with depth and dimension, and place them in real surroundings that makes one want to go out and find these small towns on the map. She brings the fictional town of Gold Creek, California to life, modeling it after the small towns surrounding the Yosemite Valley and Oakhurst, California towns. I'm looking forward to reading book number three, THE COMEBACK GIRL, Kristin's story.
