Navarro by Kelly Fox

2.0

2-2.5 stars

the stars are mainly for the narration and Desi... i honestly was getting pissed at Wyatt for how he was stringing Desi along for over half of this book. It was annoying and heartbreaking to read about. I get it hes your dead wifes brother, but jesus, get your head out of your ass. Also I WAS SICK AND TIRED OF THE AGE TALK!! Wyatt, we get it you think you are as ancient as the dinosaurs, but my god, everyone and i mean everyone told him to stop saying he is old.. and what does that old fart do, he complains about the age.

Desi, you deserve better, and i am sorry that you decided to stick it out for Wyatt.

Also i didn't realize how incestuous this small ranch town is because it seems like everyone has slept with everyone, even parents aren't off limits. soo that was a little cringy, don't get me wrong with people deciding to sleep around, but if everyone knows that everyone is having a sample of everyone and it continues to happen frequently.. yeah idk i would move out of the town and find some fresh meat haha.

I am not sure if i want to continue with the series, i am not in the right mind set to give the fourth book a fair shot. Also the 4th book just came out on audio, so if you are all are interested in that, you should pick them up. Declan Winters does a good job bringing this cast of characters to life.

This was an absolutely stunning book by Kelly Fox. I love everything I have read of hers and everything of this universe is excellent, but I think this one has surpassed the others. The feels, the heat, the love, the torture one man feels in his soul. I don't think it could have been better in any other way. Definitely recommend and recommend the whole series and Wrecked universe.

I was so surprised I had to give this a 3 star only...

Spoiler

It's sort of the high expectation I had for Desi and Wyatt's story, since it's a couple that's been built up in the background from book one. I was all in for heavy pining, heartfelt yearning, some angst, and then epic I love yous. But that's not really what we get?? We get a not really that sassy Desi get a drunken bj by Wyatt within the first couple of chapters, which sort of destroys the whole "he's unattainable" pining thing right from the start. Like yes, they're not together, but their possibilities went up to 90%, so what the hell am I here to cheer for? Anyways, after that, Desi decides he can't just wish for Wyatt indefinitely, especially when Wy acts like the bj never happened. So Desi goes out to move on, but then Wy acts all territorial and rude, effectively making me dislike him. Desi runs away (good for you, boo), so we end up reading chapter after chapter of them dealing with their inner/mental shit separately. Then Wy finally gets it together and goes find Desi in Baja, and we get I love yous, but where's the communication? The declarations are fine, but they didn't feel enough. I was just...underwhelmed. From that point on, I speed read to the end. When they reveal the news that they'd actually gotten married in secret while in Baja, it honestly made me shrug. Definitely will continue reading the series, but Navarro is by far my least fave.

5 stars for this beautiful read.

The emotion was so felt I cried my eyes out at a few parts. Desi and Wyatts story has been building over past books and it almost explodes in this one.

Their love and the love of family (real and found) is wonderfully written.

Just absolutely loved this read.

I truly love where this book comes from... the struggle that Desi and Wyatt go through, the angst, the guilt... it's palpable...

Kelly Fox drags you into the middle of their world and pull all of your emotions, as you experience the characters wrestle with where they are and what they feel about each other and the impact it has on the other characters in Navarro...

You don't need to have read the previous two books in the series, but this pairing is definitely foreshadowed within the previous books and of course you get two other amazing HEA's that share the Rebel Sky Ranch world...

I really enjoyed this!

I’ve been really obsessed with cowboys/cowboy romances lately and this was SOOO good. Kelly Fox really has such a great voice that I resonate with very much.

I didn’t expect this to be as emotional as it was but it was a pleasant surprise! NAVARRO is beautifully written and deals with a lot of heavy themes in such an eloquent and respectful way. I thought it was just brilliant!

I haven’t read any of the other books in this series and by the end, my feelings had cooled off, but good lord for a while I was not a fan of Trip and Sam. They just kept being so awful hahaha. But by the end, I forgave them.

Don’t know if I’ll read any of the other books in this series but NAVARRO was incredible.
