His Last Shot by Elaine Evans

emotional funny hopeful fast-paced

5.0

I have never read a book centered around the game of pool before and I now feel like I was missing out. When I was about 11 a family member ran a bar and grill type restaurant and I remember going and playing pool. I was never good but it’s a memory I think about often so this book brought me so much joy. Johnny is 45 and Rachel is 15 years younger. I love a good age gap. The moment Johnny lays eyes on Rachel there was nobody else who could even compare. Even if there were people trying to keep them apart. Rachel however didn’t think a relationship with Johnny was even possible. Seeing these two work through things and how caring Johnny was towards Rachel was so sweet. Not to mention Johnny is so understanding and just there for her whenever she needed him 🥹 Rachel fights daily with her RA and seeing the support she had within Johnny was truly the sweetest. I was crying on one page and a few pages after I was giggling like an idiot. You will feel ALL the emotions reading this book. Then you also get family drama with a toxic family member. He is a piece of work 😡 I loved seeing how it all played out in the end.  Oh and one of the best parts is seeing characters from Elaine’s previous two books 😍 I highly suggest reading her other two books. I already can’t wait for whatever she writes next. Thank you Elaine Evans for this fantastic romance book. Johnny and Rachel are true soulmates💕
