The Creek by Riley Hart
4.25
Two years after his divorce, August moves him and his son Reese to his old childhood hometown in Briar County to try to reconnect. When Clint runs into his first ever best friend and first crush, he's hit with all his past feelings. They've never forgotten one another and even with the changes in their lives they still fall back into their easy friendship. When their feelings become stronger, they have to figure out how to navigate the obstacles thrown their way or risk losing each other a second time.
August and Clint's story starts in the prologue with a sweet, childhood infatuation that breaks your heart a little. When they reconnect it's like nothing had changed, except they had lived so much between then and now. August worries about all the changes and how it affects his son, but Clint is there to reassure him he's doing the best he can. Clint has casually dated, never settled, but August is the only person to ever make him feel strongly enough to want to try. They both care so much and are constantly trying to show each other how amazing the other is. Their relationship is honest, effortless, and it forms a bond so deep that they would do anything for one another.
While this was a little lower on the drama than the others in the series, I'm pretty sure it's the spiciest so far. Clint and August just have an undeniable connection. It was so sweet to see Reese slowly trusting Clint and seeking his advice and befriending the other kids. I love seeing the little found family that's formed since the first book, they have so much support for one another. Definitely teared up at the big bonfire moment for one of our couples. There's no doubt who this last book is going to be about, it seems like we've been waiting since Firefly Lane to see what happens with one of the characters. I don't want this series to end, but I'm looking forward to reading the final book!
