this book did not disappoint. What a fun story, entertaining from start to finish. Thank you for my copy in exchange for a review.

I loved this book! I devoured it in only a few sittings and wish there was more to read. The story line was paced very well and the characters were easy to love!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of Change of Plans by Dylan Newton.

When Bryce's brother and sister-in-law pass away, the fun aunt unexpectedly becomes the caregiver for three young girls. Not only are they all grieving, but the girls' grandparents' are fighting for custody and Bryce tries to settle in to her new job at a local bakery after being a saucier at a prestigious restaurant. When former Marine and amputee Ryker swoops in to save the day after a mishap at the grocery store, Bryce can't deny the attraction between them. But she's busy with the girls, and Ryker is struggling to handle his PTSD and navigating the world outside his mechanic's shop.

I had read and enjoyed the first two books in the series--particularly the first, Halloween-themed one--but let a while lapse before picking up the third. But I was quickly transported back into the world of the handsome Mathews brothers and excited to see where Ryker's story took me. The "sudden parent" plot point can be annoying, but I think it was done well in this case, and each girl had their own personality and additions to the plot. Overall, it was an enjoyable story, with heartwarming moments and a satisfying conclusion.

Thanks to Forever for my eARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

5 stars - 8/10

Dylan Newton has a way of merging humor and love in the way that leaves a book with you long after you’ve read it.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a first book in the series for me and now I feel like I need to go back and read the others.
This was such a heart warming romance. Bryce an up and coming chef faces tragedy when her brother and sister in law suddenly die in a car accident, leaving their three daughters to her. Ryker, an ex marine with a prosthetic leg and PTSD is guarded and not really looking for romance. So of course they are perfect for each other.
I loved the characters, the story line, the struggles, and their found love

I'm a sucker for a Marine hero, and this slightly steamy Rom Com there is one open door scene. But Ryker makes this reader swoon. And this is one where he falls first. slight spoiler I don't know if Bryce fell for him when he bought the whole feminine product aisle in a small town when she wasn't such she had supplies at home, because I did. I mean any guy that's willing to do that is a keeper in my book. Even if he is fictional.

Cute, feel good read. A definitely a quick one. This definitely reminded me of Raising Helen. Didn't realize it was part of a series, so definitely need to check the rest out.

I commend this book on the storytelling of a wounded veteran. Other than that it was just a fine romance with subpar comedy. This falls quite middle of the road in the 100+ romance books I have consumed this year.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this advanced copy.

I adored the relationship between the two main characters, Bryce and Ryker. I respected the relationship Bryce had with her nieces, and it was hard to see what each of them went through (no spoilers) together as a family. The relationship between Ryker and Bryce’s nieces is ADORABLE!! He is the tough, military veteran, but he is SUCH a cinnamon roll!!! Each of these characters were so lovable, even in their most challenging moments.

I appreciated the disability and mental health representation in the story. I loved how each person handled “their stuff” in a healthy way (mostly), or at least learned how to throughout their character growth.

I adore Dylan Newton’s writing style, and I will read anything she writes!

A huge thank you to Forever Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book!!

I started reading this book on the subway while traveling to an author event for another Forever book, All The Right Notes! It was the perfect way to spend my commute time because I knew I would love it before I even started, and I was absolutely correct. I really loved All Fired Up, yet somehow I missed How Sweet It Is, so luckily for me I still have one Matthews brother story left.
.
Ryker Matthews is the middle child in his family and seemingly the black sheep. It was so sweet getting to watch him slowly come out of his shell with Bryce and the girls over time, and finally allowing himself to need things from others openly. Bryce is in a tough situation herself, and this is not just found family, but also found community and life. Everything she knows has been upended and three grieving little girls have been thrust upon her. They might have had a pretty adorable meet-cute, but this couple needed to be building something solid if it was going to be worth the effort. Newton will be one of my go-to authors in the future for sure!

I absolutely loved this book. I was not expecting to get teary eyed, but this one really got me. I love an emotional read, and I like show the romance was secondary to the overall plot. Bryce and her nieces really tugged at my heartstrings.

This is my favorite in this series! I was SO excited for Ryker's story and loved learning more about him and what he's been through. He is so sweet to Bryce and she is an excellent lead and care taker as well.

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of Change of Plans! All opinions in this review are my own.

I put off reading Change of Plans because I wasn't ready for the series to end and I've been anticipating Ryker's story from the first book. I'm so glad I waited because I truly picked the perfect time to read it.

On a weekend away (fittingly Veteran's Day), I finally read Change of Plans and it has easily become my favorite in the series. Part of this may be due to the magic of reading an amazing book in a place you're enjoying so much, but I could have enjoyed this book anywhere. After I finished each chapter, I had to tell my boyfriend how much I loved this book!

In true Newton fashion, Bryce and Ryker's story had me both laughing out loud and tearing up. Although their story is about them working to be together with individually complicated lives, Change of Plans is also about both of them learning how to love themselves. I truly appreciate the care that Newton put into making sure each of their situations were as researched and accurate as possible.

I thought it would be hard to write a match for Ryker but Newton easily knocks this one of the park. I want to reread the whole series again now and I can't wait to read her book!

Change of Plans by Dylan Newton is a heartwarming, sweet romance. From the first few surprising pages, I was taken with this novel. From its unexpected start to its solid romance development— I loved this book so much! Readers of romance will love this book. I think it is the perfect vacation or beach read. So fun! I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

so good. new single mom/aunt of 3 and a grumpy marine. I loved the found family part of this and the easter scene was hilarious.

This is the third book in the Matthews Brothers series and if I go on to read any of the other books, they will have some MAJOR competition. Ryker was an amazing character, full of flaws and issues, but he was so well-written--I fell in love! And he is so perfectly coupled with Bryce, who also has her share of baggage including single motherhood. The kiddo's are so well-written too. Overall, this was a great read and I need to follow up with the rest of the Matthews brothers in book 1 and 2!

I had the great privilege of doing a traveling arc for this amazing story. Even though I was late, it was worth the wait. From the meet-cute disaster to all the cooking to the sweet love story of these two. You will fall in love with Bryce and Ryker. There is just something about these Matthews brothers. I'm so sad that this is the last book in the series, and we won't be able to go back into this magical world. I love how much of the parenting world this showed and how Dylan kept us on the edge of our seats until the very end. I can't wait to see what is next for her and I can't wait to reread this one again.

Book 3 in the Matthews brothers trilogy and it did not disappoint! Just like any mother I cannot choose a favorite I love them all equally! It made me so happy to see Ryker finally at peace and find his HEA, plus I was thrilled to see the rest of the family revisit and see that everyone is still happy!
.
Bryce loved her job as a chef but when she unexpectedly had to quit her job and move to take on guardianship of her three nieces her world exploded.
.
Ryker knows he’s lucky to be alive but with his PTSD working overtime and his pain from his lost limb taking over his days he knows he needs a change.
.
I really rooted for these two! Spoiler alert they get the HEA they deserve! This one is out int the world today!

Found family tropes are one of my favourites. Although the circumstances for Bryce to have "found" this family is unfortunate. Her brother and his wife has died in a fatal car accident and as their godmother, she has been left in charge to be the guardians of three of her nieces: June, Cecily, and Addison. This book was chaotic and heartwarming at the same time. Especially when their "pirate/hero" found them in the grocery store. Ryker found them literally and metaphorically when he needed them in his life. And vice versa. Bryce, Ryker, and the kids needed each other. The representation of trauma and PTSD was written well and with a lot of care. It not only focused on Ryker's PTSD as a former marine, but also the psycholgical behaviour of the kids, and Bryce as well. The kids lost their parents but Bryce also lost her brother and sister in-law. It was a lovely read. I'll be reading the first two books before this!
