dermkat 's review for:

Honor by Danielle Baker

Rounding out the trilogy, I really enjoyed this one too! It's age gap, widowed mom of three, Teddy (I think fat rep based on descriptions but majority of those were her insecurities with it and used lots of words like soft, curvy, etc. and she's a new mom, so I'm on the fence to truly call it that), with the older and grumpy superintendent (aka the boss) of the wildland firefighting team, Xander, who happens to live next door. He also delivered her newest baby (her hubs died when she was newly pregnant). He's great with the kids and really sees her, stepping up to help and show her she isn't alone. But she's still grieving ans he's married to his job, so neither of them think they ever want a relationship even though they are so drawn to each other. Eventually they give in to the attraction and eventually the feelings too. It felt like a good end to the series and overall I was decently impressed with how the three books were mostly seamless as far as plot and timelines, even as they overlapped some. I'm also excited that Xander's brother Zach IS getting a story as part of this authors new series, because it felt set up like we should care about him and his kids.
