Introduction
Better When He's Brave is the final book in the "Welcome to the Point" trilogy. I absolutely loved this book so dearly and really the whole "Point" books are spectacular. I just couldn't get enough of this one here. There is something about how this author has written these books that just appeal to me so much! I love the way that these books are edgy contemporary romances. They are borderline dark romance, but I wouldn't necessarily call them straight out dark romance or even contemporary romance, its like the marvelous in between of the two sub genres. Better When He's Brave is a story of enemies to lover and forbidden love. Its not straight out enemies to lovers persay, more like they are on opposite sides of the tracks, and the heroine is needing to be redeemed and everyone around them doesn't want the hero and heroine together. But its so well done. But if you can, read these books in order.
Summary
Better When He's Brave is a story of Titus and Reeve. Who have building intimacy growing between them. But Reese has made some awful mistakes, that has caused harm to some innocents and she has come back to the point to redeem the past mistakes and bring the true villain of the story to justice if she can. Titus is a police detective and he is determined to bring down their enemy who also happens to be connected to his family who has a vow of vengeance. So he joins forces with Reeve to bring him down but as they work together, something more develops between them.
My Outlook
This book was so fantastic! I just love this book and how the romance was developed. Unlike most darker books, this does not feature a antihero, but a anti-heroine! I actually don't remember Reeves that much from the previous books, since I read the first two books quite a while ago. But as you read throughout this story, you get familiar with what happened in previous books. As she doesn't have too many friends, but we also see a connection to Honor and Nassir's book which was so much fun. As we see what drives Honor away from The Point. But the focus of the story is what is building and has been building between Reeves and Titus. I just loved seeing these two find their way together and especially in seeing our heroine go about redemption. Now I was a bit confused about the heroine. Because the first half of the story she keeps thinking about this secret plan she has but nothing really happens with the secret plan so that was a bit confusing and didn't make sense to me. I am definitely excited to explore more of this author because I have just loved everything I have read from this author!
Overall View
I found Better When He's Brave to be a fabulous installment that won my heart quickly! Its a story of personal redemption, rising above how others view you, and doing what is right when it counts the most.
