The thing I love about Amber Leigh Williams is she never gives you cookie cutter characters, and when she gives you a flawed hero she ends up giving you perfection. Gavin is an ex-SEAL now that he is legally blind and can no longer serve so he comes back home to a place he never felt he belonged. Mavis, his best friend’s kid sister, helps him to heal his wounds and find his place has always been right where he thought he couldn’t stay.
Mavis is a great heroine. She’s unique and full of fire. Gavin pushes everyone away but she pushes through his walls and helps him through his PTSD and the past that haunts him. Speaking of HAUNT, Mavis is a paranormal investigator which lends to some funny moments.
I have all these Fairhope books on my Kindle but jumped into this one first after reading a (hilarious) excerpt online so there are a lot of characters from previous ones in it and it takes a minute figuring out who is who but the book is still written well enough that you can read without having read those first. Each character brings an added dose of heart to the story. I love the families and friendships explored in this book. Zelda is a fun secondary character and Prometheus- You have to love a big dog. Highly recommend!
