Cain's Salvation by Sarah O'Rourke
5.0
I have to start out with saying that I love the McKinnon sisters. I love their personalities, I love the way they work together, stand up for each other, and fight for each other. What an amazing family with a beautiful bond.
I actually honestly loved each and every character from the sisters to Cain and his brother Able to Zeke. This is friendship built in a small town where everyone knows everyone and everybody looks out for each other.
Now on to the main story. We start out with Cain in Afghanistan, a doctor at war. He has been through hell and thinks that the love of his life, Faith, would be better off without the man he had become in her life. Faith was left devastated and confused because all he said was move on with your life. No reasons. No explanations. Just get over me and get on with it.
Flash forward to a few months later Cain is back home pretty much attempting to destroy himself by drinking and isolation, Faith’s sister, Honor (I know, I love their names too), steps in and the story takes off.
I think Sarah O’Rourke did an amazing job at portraying the hopelessness and emptiness that Cain felt from his time in Afghanistan. She didn’t gloss over things, she had Cain put out there what he’d been through, why he was hurting so badly inside.
We felt Faith’s pain as she is crying out to him, begging him to tell her why. It was heart wrenching.
These two are soul mates that need to find their way back to each other. Will Faith forgive Cain for the heartache that he inflicted on her with his move on letter?
At the end of this book I finally have a name for the genre I like. Romantica! I never like books that are straight sex with no plot. I want it to mean something, be part of the storyline. This book has a beautiful storyline, is full of emotion, and has some seriously hot scenes weaved throughout.
I really liked it and now I want every other sister’s story. :D I need to go look and see what all is on Sarah’s backlist.
Thank you so much for my ARC!
