This series!!! People, I love this town, I love these characters, you must read it. Sarina Bowen has met all my expectations, and I am hopeful she will continue the True North series for years to come. 
 I guess we could call this one a surprise baby, but us readers have known about it for a while. Zara, that we've known and grown to like has been mentioned in all three previous books. If I remember the timeline correctly she was still pregnant in the last book. We get to go back to conception if you will and learn how Zara came to be in the predicament during BITTERSWEET. We got hints before, but no real details. Then book jumps two years in BOUNTIFUL. We have adorable and standout baby Nicole, who pulled at all my mommy heartstrings. Zara's character has grown a lot, as motherhood tends to do to us. Our priorities are realigned, and things that used to be important, seem trivial. 
 But DAVE!!! He's like a surprise present in this book. We get a sort of cross over from Sarina's Ivy League and Brooklyn Bruisers series, and that was SO COOL. We get cameos from characters from other series and plenty of Audrey and Griff too. I loved how Dave embraced his fatherhood even if it was a shock to his life. 
 Two worlds collide and it's perfect. I loved it, and dare say BOUNTIFUL is the best True North book to date.
