When I went into writing the Dixon Brothers series, I had a moment of fear that as I developed the characters of identical triplets who grew up as close brothers, had the same world view, who went to the same college, and who worked for their father’s company, that I would end up with three identical men in attitude and spirit.
I was thrilled as the characters fleshed out and my Dixon Brothers came alive, that I had completely different men with different thoughts and different feelings.
Brad Dixon is the reliable one. He’s the middle son, but takes responsibility for his brothers. He became CEO of the corporation when their father had them draw straws for the position. Everyone believed he was exactly the right choice for the job. He likes order, he loves Jesus, and he has loved Valerie since he could form the words. Here’s what one reader had to say about it:
The characters were amazing. The tension in the storyline really gripped my attention. There was so much emotion and passion – it was truly gripping. This novel definitely dealt with some really hard things.
Jon Dixon is the oldest of the three and is a bit of a black sheep. His heart breaks for the injustices he’s seen in the world, and he copes with it by trying to drink it away. He meets Alexandra in a bar one night outside of Nashville, Tennessee. And the rest, as they say, is a really great book that keeps you guessing. Here’s what a reader said:
What an amazing story of God taking a wrong and making it right! Alexandra and Jon are the proof in this story that God gives us all more than one chance.
Ken Dixon is the youngest. He is the deep thinker, the pure one, the sober one. He is completely content working his job, building his houses, and working on the mission field. He loves his family and has never felt anything missing in his life — until Daisy comes back into his life. Then he feels what he’s been missing deep in his soul and he wants nothing more than to love her for the rest of her life. And then he finds out she’s pregnant with another man’s child. Here is what one reader said:
I find myself in these two characters – in their character traits and quirks – and this is why the story touched me so deeply. They are like us… imperfect, sinners, true in their desires to please the Lord… and their story is where God teaches and forgives both them and us along with them. This story is a great reminder of God’s love and mercy and His work, whatever our circumstances are.
I am so thrilled to conclude the story of these three brothers. I fell in love with each couple as I wrote them, and it has become one of my favorite series of all.

Pam Whorwell says
One of my reading goals is to read this series and write reviews for it.
Ausjenny says
my reading goal is to read more than last year which shouldn’t be hard as I only read one! part of my problem is I tire easily and by night am to tired to concentrate. But I hope to read more this year. even on a month would be nice.
Dianne says
After that post, I do believe I might have triplets on my reading list, lol! This year is about exploring, exploration to me is the fun of finding what there is wherever. Looking forward to finding the fun and inspiration in your books this year Hallee!
Erin Stevenson says
Well, I’m a writer, but I’m always reading, even though I never set reading goals, only writing goals.
I have a WIP with twins, but haven’t attempted triplets. This series sounds amazing–I love all three storylines! I’ll make it a goal to read all of them in 2021!
Hallee Bridgeman says
I love that goal! ;-)
I have had two characters have twins, but I haven’t written them as main characters before.
Hallee Bridgeman says
I love different reading challenges that give me books to read that I might not have picked up otherwise!
Hallee Bridgeman says
That is my goal as well. I haven’t read nearly as much in the last 10 years or so, and I used to be a voracious reader. I’d love to rediscover that part of myself.
Hallee Bridgeman says
That’s a great goal! ;-)
Today’s a great day to get them, too, because they’re on special. Thank you!
Paula Marie says
Fantastic series, I love the Dixon boys!
Trudy says
I’ve read each of these books, and I LOVE this series!! I’m kinda sad to see the series end; however, you did it in a great way!! One of my favorite series!!
Lori Smanski says
This sounds wonderful. I love to read how authors think one thing and something else develops along the way. Thank you for sharing this. Conrats on your newest release. My reading goals this year are for about 50 books. I know I will be super busy with other things so trying to keep it conservative. I love to read inspiration, historical (west, WW2 etc) I love to read small town cozy mysteries, have read some contemporary and children’s books. I like to read and review.
Alicia Haney says
Wow, your books sound very intriguing and oh so real, how siblings have come from the same parent and are so very different in so many ways, I can just imagine how triplets can be so very different from each other all being in the same womb. Well, Thank you now I do have plans for reading a book with triplets. :) Thank you so much for sharing about your books, they sound amazing and yes, I would love to read about the triplets and their lives. Have a Great week and stay safe. God Bless you.
Hallee Bridgeman says
Me, too! :-)
Hallee Bridgeman says
Thank you! That makes me so happy. :-)
Angeline says
Two of my reading goals are to read 200 books and write 50 reviews
Hallee Bridgeman says
That sounds like a wonderful goal, Lori!
Hallee Bridgeman says
Thank you, Alicia! So glad I inspired some reading for you! :-)
Megan says
Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win! It sounds like a really good series. Last year I was able to read a little over 50 books, so this year I’m hoping to be able to read 60 books. As long as I get to read though it doesn’t really matter how many or how few I read.
Michelle says
My goal this year is to read more non-fiction and write reviews for them. And, of course, there will be fiction books as well.🤗
Hallee Bridgeman says
That sounds like a perfect goal! Enjoy your reading time. :-)
Hallee Bridgeman says
I have a friend who only reads non-fiction – and she reads it like she’s reading novels.
I need that blast of fiction in my life. :-)
Sandra says
I lowered my reading goal from 120 down to 100 for the year 2021. One of the problems is that I like to read through boxsets, and even if there are 8 books, it still only counts as 1 under Goodreads, and I don’t want to take the time away from my reading to count them individually. I solved the problem by reading and reviewing some great children’s books. Of course, with those, I often read them over and over again to the Grands, which still just counts once.
Your series looks very interesting Hallee. I have book 3 so will add it to my list.
Lelia (Lucy) Reynolds says
Would love to read. My goal is 100 but it depends on my mom and how much I need to do for her.
denise says
goal is to read 30-50 books
Amy Perrault says
My goal for this year is to read up to about 100 books but it doesn’t take me long to read a book. I am very interested in reading books about triplets.
Sylvain Perrault says
I’m wanting to try to read a few new books about triplets & twins this year. I want to read a lot more this year for sure.
Hallee Bridgeman says
Book 3 is a great book!
In the box sets I’m in, my individual books are also on Goodreads. Perhaps you could find each book and review them, then it would be a truer count.
Hallee Bridgeman says
100 is a great goal!
Hallee Bridgeman says
That’s a good goal!
Hallee Bridgeman says
If you’re interested in triplets have I got a deal for you… :-)
100 is a great goal!
Hallee Bridgeman says
I had a great time writing the triplet trope. I hope you find some great books!
Hallee Bridgeman says
That’s an amazing goal! I hope you find some really great books.
Abigail Harris says
I own the first and third books in this series! I can’t wait to read them! My reading goal this year is 400 books, I am at 25 books so far since I had three days where I wasn’t able to do anything but read, lol, it was hard. ;)
Trixi says
My reading goal every year is to read 100 books, which I always exceed by a few. For 2020, I read 117.
I’ve only read books about triplets that were babies or kids. Your series sounds very good! :-)
Hallee Bridgeman says
It was a lot of fun to write!
That’s a terrific goal!
Hallee Bridgeman says
I hope you love them!
Ahh — to having nothing to do but read..LOL
Natalya Lakhno says
Reading goal – enjoy what I’m reading :)
