3 STARS!
This book was a bit of a conundrum for me. I like the characters, and I even like them together, but the style of the book was just too over-the-top for me. He was a nice guy, yet it seems like too much effort went into making him seem vulgar and raw. And the step-brother/sister thing wasn’t just the back drop to the story, it was the obsession of it. I think had parts of it been panned down somewhat instead of feeling overly exaggerated, I would have liked it a lot more.
Garrett Marsden and Savannah Boudreaux met when they were both teenagers and their parents met and got married. They had instant attraction to each other, but tried to play it off and ignore it for years while only sharing a friendship and trying to go with the flow of their newly merged families. When they all come together for Savannah’s graduation from med school, the pretense all blows up when Garrett and Savannah share a drunken romp that changes their lives forever!
Mistakes are made, and Garrett winds up going to prison for a few years, while Savannah goes on to finish her residency and become a doctor, while also becoming a single Mom. When Garrett is released from prison and comes back home, it’s hard for him to settle back in to figure out where he belongs in the puzzle now. Danger eventually comes knocking, and secrets come to light. Will Garrett and Savannah get the future they hungered for with each other?
