📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: the Prodigal Son by Sara Cate
📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: The Goode Brothers character series. Book 4.
📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: E-book ARC on Kindle. 🆓️ on KU.
📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Contemporary romance
📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: LGBTQIA+ rep, religious trauma, age gap, found family, rockstar.
📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Isaac Goode is enjoying his new life, moonlighting as country star Theo Virgil and ignoring the past that's left him alone in the world. But meeting Jensen, the preacher he can't keep his eyes off in the crowd or his hands off behind closed doors, changes everything for him. Suddenly, being in the closet and living a half-life isn't his dream anymore.
🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: Sara Cate has a knack for writing romances with complications - complicated story lines, complicated topics like religion, complicated relationships with sexual fluidity... she's fearless, and it always tends to pay off.
I've loved the Goode Brothers series from the start. You have this family with religion meshed into their life's purpose finding a way to explore the world, their sexualities, and the duality of life both in and out of the church. Since the beginning, I've only wanted to read the happiest of endings for Isaac... but to be honest, it was Jensen who stole the show.
Even when setting up a character series, I am always in awe with how the new love interests sometimes take the forefront instead of the main character you already know. Jensen was broken, vulnerable, struggling... with a POV so thoughtful I had tears in my eyes.
This final book in this series put a bow on a very emotional set of books. I've been recommending them from the beginning, but you're missing out if you don't pick them up. Make sure you start at the beginning, because there's an overarching story that flows through the end.
𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
