stephanie_inman 's review for:
Walk
by Cora Brent
As of this review, I've read all but the latest two Gentry Boys/Gentry Generations books. And I have to say, Stone and Evie are up there close to Roselyn and Con and Creed and Truly as the best of the best Gentry couples.
I loved both characters individually, so it's no surprise that I loved them just as much together. We met Stone previously, in other Gentry novellas (Hold and Cross). A huge part of his story begins in Cross. Where Cross tears your heart apart, this is very much the book that starts to put it back together.
Stone and his brother, Conway live in Emblem. They share the last name Gentry, and a fairly messed up family life with Creed, Cord, Chase and Deck. Although they lived in the nicer part of Emblem, Stone and Conway weren't without their own problems. As we read in Cross, a series of mistakes changes the paths that Stone and Conway were on.
Stone's path ended up being a place in the Emblem prison system. He served his four years and now has been released. He's headed out of Emblem, and close to our Gentrys. Deck, always seen as sort of the head of the family, has offered to help Stone out. He helps hook him up with a job and a place to live.
Evie, having a connection to the Emblem prison herself, meets Stone as he's working at a wedding where she's a bridesmaid. I absolutely adored Evie from the first moment we see her. There's just something to her strength and courage that pulled me in.
This book is about so much more than the romance between Stone and Evie. Yes, the romance is there. But this book is also about Stone's relationship with his brother, and with the family he's been getting to know. Evie has her relationship with her twin brother. She's spent so long trying to hold on to a relationship with him, that it's hard for her to accept that her brother really might not ever want a place in her life again.
I love that while Stone and Evie deal with everything they have to deal with on an individual level, they are also finding love with one another. They truly support one another.
And, as always, I loved being able to peak back into the Gentry world that Ms. Brent has created for us.
