 Travis is a revised version of the original "Travis" that was originally published in 2021. I was highly intrigued by this one, especially as I recently read "Archer's Voice" for the first time earlier this year, so the events of that books and especially in how Travis treated Archer was still very fresh in my mind but I also knew he had a redemption story.

In this story, we have our hero, who is the sheriff of the small town in Maine. A duo of strangers come to town just passing through. Travis and Haven have an instant attraction, but they are really opposites from each other, and for Haven she is more drawn to Gage, because he is more put together but as Haven and Travis bond and become friends with benefits, much more depths builds in their relationship, and Haven will need to decide if her love for Travis is stronger than her need to roam the world and take a risk on Travis and this quaint town which has become a home for herself and her brother...

Travis is such a great redemption story but we don't see the redemption for quite some time. I actually really loved how the redemption was built throughout the story though. I was so intrigued by this pairing here. I am not a fan of flings though and to be honest I wasn't a big fan of the heroine. I didn't understand why she was drawn so much more to Gage, over Travis. She and Travis were more together and she only had like one date with Gage throughout the whole book so it was strange and didn't quite fit with the story to be honest. I think I was much more in seeing Travis redeem himself, and find his own HEA than what was really happening with the heroine and Gage. I just feel like it was just used as a plot device with not much substantial to it. Although I want GAGE's book, and I wonder if his parents might have a story? I will have to look haha

I will say that if you are wanting to see Travis redeem himself especially in how he treated Archer, you will GET it! Its such a great moment, and honestly it had me crying buckets, it just had so much deep heartfelt emotion in that moment and the way his family reacts to it was just beautiful, the brothers closer than ever!!! LOVED it so dearly. And we do get to see some fun moments with Archer and his wife and their precious babies. Definitely worth reading if you are a fan of Archer's Voice.

Overall this story captivated me and I can't wait to read more from this author. Although I can't decided if I love this cover more of the one where he is dripping wet!! LMAO.
