Other People's Things by Kerry Anne King
5.0
This was such a fantastically woven story that had so many unexpected and delightful twists.
I really enjoyed the main characters; at first I was worried about it being split POV between the hero, heroine, and a third party but it really amplified the story and wasn’t confusing like I initially feared.
I love how all the individual stories wove together and the touch of mysticism that was refreshing and not over the top like some psychic stories can be.
I also really like that the romance wasn’t the main thread (and was a fade to black at the very end only) and despite that fact the hero was genuinely good and wholesome and soft, and many times was totally content with if things didn’t turn out romantically which is something I find contemporary fiction to sorely lack. I love that he was this big strong self-admitted-hero-complex gumshoe but his life experiences had shaped him into a considerate and sweet man that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, but also makes a point to empower and even defers to the women in his life in respectful ways. Usually if a hero is good and wholesome like that, it’s because he’s in pursuit of the heroine, not because he’s just a nice dude by default. It made me want to believe there are men like Hawk out there.
