Vaughn Harris is the patriarch of the family and it was nice to see his point of view here. But it made me sad. Our authors warn us at the beginning of a book when it delves into a sensitive subject. I think they need to do the same when a story is going to require tissues – and I mean more than one. There were times when I had to stop reading in order to “collect my composure”. My heart really got touched with this one. And it might be because some of it hit me personally – especially since I’ve lost both my parents.
I have followed this series from the beginning and am in love with the Harris Brothers and their sister. I can almost compare myself to Pavlov’s dogs. Since I’ve listened to most of the audiobook versions, I automatically hear the narrators talking in my head. The issue then becomes, if these books were ever made into movies, or a series, Will M. Watt would have to play all the male leads and Charlotte Cole would have to do the female leads. But just like in the movie franchises, I’ve come to expect these narrators to play certain parts.
This is no way a standalone. It carries on the story of Gareth Harris and Sloan Montgomery from the book titled Surrender. It also carries on the stories of all the Harris family. I tried to be upbeat while reading this continuation but it was bittersweet. I felt as if I was a part of the family as they get together to celebrate and reminisce. And that was especially true when the girls all got together. This is one time that I’m apprehensive as I get closer and closer to the ending.
Now I’m left in a void. I’m left happy at the ending but unsure of what comes next. There are a couple of good things that come out of this. The author knows her job well so I know whatever she has in store for us will be good. Another good think is that I can either read or listen to the Harris stories whenever I want to. Maybe I’ll even watch a soccer/football game or two.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
