Book Blurb:
Losing my dad was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.
He was patient and kind. Loving and smart. The funniest person in every room and the last person on every dance floor. The most amazing man I’d ever known.
Except it turns out, I didn’t really know him at all.
My father had secrets, and their trail leads me straight to McKinley Security Systems.
Straight to Walker McKinley.
Walker is so different from the man who brought us together. He’s stoic and serious. Quiet and calm. Has an intensity and focus that pulls me in.
He makes me feel seen. Understood. Safe.
But I’m not safe, and neither is Walker. Unlocking the truth of our shared past carries a danger neither of us expects.
And one of us might not survive.
Tropes:
*Hambright PR ALC/ARC *Small town romance *strangers to more *grumpy MMC
*Protective MMC *Fierce FMC *Spice *Hidden secrets *mystery *found family *betrayal
*long term grief (both mmc and fmc) *insta lust
Thoughts:
This is the 5th and last book of the Bradshaw Brothers series and focuses on Walker (the Bradshaw's cousin) and Sybil.
Walker (MMC) has been a bit of a mystery throughout the other two books I read, he is fiercly loyal to his family and comes to family functions but he always felt more closed off and grumpy.
Sybil comes into Walker's life towards the end of the 4th book and even though she may have lied about some things to get there... she had her reasons, number one being she knows that her father's accident was more than that and she wants to get to the bottom of it... her search has lead her to McKinley Security Systems and she just knows that if she's given the chance she'll find the answers she's looking for and hopefully help Walker too.
Walker has been grieving the loss of his mother for a long time, recently with everything that has happened he begins to wonder if there was more to his mother's accident.
When danger comes back into his life and Sybil reveals what's really going on could their lives have been intertwined all this time?
Sybil is smart, funny, and sassy, Walker is grumpy and hard to read but she brings out a different side to him, she makes him laugh and while he's protective of her... she's equally as protective of him.
I loved being back in this large families world again, they are protective and have each other's backs and even though they were unsure of letting Sybil back in, Walker's aunt made sure she still felt welcome at family get togethers.
The more they dig into this old mystery to try to uncover truths and figure out how the pieces fit together the closer danger is to them... again.
Sean Masters and Grace Noble were amazing Narrators!!
The leads were easy to like and it made it so much easier for me to root for them and want to get to the bottom of what had happened all those years ago. I loved how their relationship unfolded from mistrust to feeling like they finally found their missing piece.
I enjoyed this story over all and liked how everything wrapped up, I did feel that there was such a big build up towards the end that when it came to the end it kind of wrapped up really quickly (I thought it would be more of the story).
But I've been enjoying this series and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a small town romance with a fierce protective MMC, a smart capable FMC who doesn't give up with a side of danger with secrets revealed.
I do need to go back and read the first two books in this series and I would recommend reading these in order.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
