My favorite of the series

Also available via KU.

This was a bit longer than the last two and I think it really gave Kayci Morgan the chance to craft an even better story. River is the alpha of his clan but hated for both being gay and having made a terrible mistake in his teens. Widowed Darius (whom we met in book 1) is getting his life back together for himself and his son, Parker. After the death of his wife, he struggled with alcoholism but has now been sober for a year. When River meets Darius he feels an instant connection.

I thought that this might be GFY-trope, but it’s actually that Darius while knowing he was bi only ever loved his wife. I’ll admit I’m a sucker for a precocious kid loved by all the adults in his life, so Parker was a great dynamic to Darius & River’s relationship.

Gary Bennett has an intimate/cozy voice that was an excellent fit for the alternating POVs of the MCs. He did a good job with male & female voices as well as a wide range of emotions.

This is definitely my favorite of the series so far and a deal at under $5.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving a review.
