Sooooooo Many Problems
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This is the fourth book in a series of connected standalone novels. You don’t need to read the other books in the series but if you do it helps to understand the characters and their shared history.
Naomi is an ER doctor. She moved to Cortez a few years ago to get away from Phoenix and her horrendous ex-husband. She also wanted to get her teenaged son away from the big city and all it’s influences. After a couple of years her son, Fox, decided he was fed up of his mother’s strictures about computer games and insisted he go and live with his father. When a year later his father calls Naomi and tells her that Fox is returning to Cortez immediately she’s delighted but worried for her son.
Joe is the local sheriff. He fell for Naomi when she first moved to Cortez and when he asked her out on a date it went horribly wrong. Whenever he tried to explain she refused to listen because the date triggered reminders of her awful marriage. Joe had his own history of a dreadful marriage, and the dreadful date helped motivate his to truly sort his life out. When Fox returns to Cortez and gets into trouble Joe takes the opportunity to reconnect with Naomi and set the record straight. It’s just as well he gets involved because Fox is in big trouble and needs all the help he can get.
This story is very plot heavy. There are lots of moving parts because there are several sources of problems. It means the characters never know where the next punch is coming from and it leaves the reader reeling as much as the characters. At the same time, there is lots of character development as the author doesn’t solely focus on the suspense aspect of the book. The author delves deeply into the characters and their motivations, telling the story from two points of view, both Naomi and Joe. We see each character from both the inside and the outside which is revealing. Both characters are flawed but decent people who care about each other greatly.
One of the things I really enjoyed about the story was the way in which Joe bonded with 16-year-old Fox, and started to care for him quite quickly. They had a relationship with each other separate from the one through Naomi. There was quite a lot of development for Fox as well, as he eventually showed his true colours underneath the bratty teen exterior.
I enjoyed the narrators but they weren’t the best I’ve heard. Some of this delivery was a little lacklustre in places which sometimes kept me distant from the characters the actors were supposed to be connecting me to. I felt a little let down because the book was great, however the performances were good enough to warrant me listening to books future books with them narrating because they were ok.
Aside from being a little let down by the narrators, this was a really enjoyable romantic suspense novel with passion, affection, friendship and family at it’s heart. Freya Barker writes such good stories and this is no exception.
