Defiant by Sara Cate

5.0

This was my first book by Sara Cate. She has brilliantly depicted a very real and true story. The way I could relate to the FMC and envision the whole story was remarkable. Her style of writing gives you so much vivid detail and paints the picture for you so well that you feel as though you’re in the scenes with the characters.

This story is about 3 best friends. Things happen and all of a sudden it’s 10 years later and there’s a lot of things that have brought them to the point of not speaking. Shelby is a hospice nurse and is as real as they come. Being a nurse, she wants to help. That’s just engrained in her from her job. Her twin, Ezra has a tainted past that he can’t get over. And their outed friend, Rafe, is doing well in the police force in the town they just relocated to. There are so many occasions in the book where you can picture it happening in real life. These 3 have a lot to work out to get back to the best friend status. And just because you’re brother and sister doesn’t mean you don’t need space apart either. This was such a refreshing novel to read with a HEA. If you haven’t checked out any of Sara’s books I highly recommend it! I certainly can not wait to see what else she has in store and I absolutely will be devouring it after reading this!
