He thinks his silence will protect her. She needs to hear what’s in his heart.
When
it comes to love and life, Kinsley Kramer knows one thing—she’s always
second best. Tired of feeling like she’s never enough, she decides to
give up on men and adopt a cat. What Kinsley doesn’t know is that Brant
Holland wants nothing more than to tell the world how much he loves her,
but he has kept his distance to protect Kinsley from the secrets he
keeps and from his ex-fiancée’s family.
But when Kinsley is about
to lose her restaurant, Brant can’t help but act. He steps in and
becomes her silent partner. Unable to deny the passion that sizzles
between them, they must open painful doors to the past, and the secrets
Brant has been keeping must be unleashed. Secrets that threaten to
destroy everything and everyone he holds dear. Kinsley must now decide
if she can bear the pain of Brant’s past choices and an uncertain future
as everything in the Hollands’ world hangs in the balance.
See how it all unfolds in this heart-tugging final chapter of the Pine Falls series.
My Review: 5 Stars
The books in this series must be read in order, as the drama and intensity builds with each one and you'll definitely be lost without the backstory. That said, I've been waffling between eagerly anticipating this story and dreading it. Why the contradicting feelings? Because I've been dying to get Kinsley's story, yet this is the end of the series.
This story is full of drama--the kind that makes a reader question everything in life and spend lots of time assessing what they would do in this situation--yet I just couldn't get enough. Peel has a way of magically transporting a person right into her books.
Kinsley and Brant are multi-dimensional characters and I loved peeling their layers to discover what is underneath. They have heavy burdens, yet they are each full of grace. With stories full of love, loss, forgiveness, and tension, these characters grow and although their situations may differ from the reader's, they are built on relatable facets. My heart was tugged and stretched, but I wouldn't have it molded in any other way.
Content: PG-13 romance (kissing; talk of intimacy and some innuendo); mild+ language
