Puzzle Me This by Eli Easton
4.0

While not perfect (there were a couple of editing mistakes, like watching the pre-super bowl show during Thanksgiving), Easton delivers readers a sweet and satisfying journey to a HEA.

I really enjoyed both Luke & Alex as individuals and as a couple. There are some issues around Alex’s situation that are glossed over, like some of the daily adjustments that Luke would have to make in such a new situation. Alex has had his whole life to become independent but there are so many things that would need to be taken into account … I just can’t imagine. It has to be so different for someone who has never been in a relationship of any kind with a person in a wheelchair.

But I love that she doesn’t avoid the big ones. Alex is supportive and so mature about his situation and how it affects others. He never gets upset or martyrs himself when things are complicated – instead he makes suggestions that are logical and work for all parties involved. I’m sure it sucks but he makes the best of it and enjoys the things that life puts before him. And when Luke is faced with some of those same situations he reacts in a realistic manner and, even when it isn’t so positive, I never blame him. He’s facing some tough decisions and he works through them beautifully.

Tender, silly, and full of heart, Puzzle Me This gave me all the warm fuzzies I needed and I’ll be sure to keep an eye for even more from Easton to add to my TBR pile.
