PRESERVATION
The Walshes #7
Kate Canterbary
Released June 13, 2017
Vesper Press
Two lonely hearts.
Just once, she'd like
to be someone's first choice.
She's strong-willed
and spunky, but she's left picking up the pieces from her ex's lies and
manipulations, and daydreaming about taking a scalpel to his scrotum.
Flying under the radar
is what he does best.
He's laid-back and
loyal, but he wants the most off-limits woman in his world, and nothing will
ever make that a reality.
An arrangement of
mutual benefit.
Two months, four
dates.
Five, if things go
well.
Five at the most.
But possibly six.
Definitely no more
than six dates.
Only the appearance of
a romantic relationship is required, and they expect nothing more from their
time together. There will be none of those
benefits involved.
One wild weekend.
After waking up in bed
together—very naked and even more hungover—the terms and conditions of their
arrangement no longer apply. Now they're faced with something riskier than
exposing their fake relationship:
letting go of the past and zipping up the future.
Some things have to
fall apart before they can be put back together.
***********MY REVIEW**********
'Preservation' by Kate Canterbary is book 7 in "The Walshes" Series.
This is Riley’s emotional story and what a story it is. I don’t want to give any spoilers away but what I can tell you this story will have you reaching for tissues and it will take your breath away.
Riley is always walking in at the most inopportune moments like when our favorite couples in the Walshes series are having some sexual time and he interrupts (awkward!), or his getting injured but he is just being Riley. In this book, we come to see there is more to him than the lighthearted persona he projects and there is a deeper pain and some secrets he has been hiding from his family. Ones he is so afraid of getting out. This took my breath away and had me just in shock but he is still the same Riley, still the same heart of gold Riley.
Now HIS someone Special enters his life and boy is she a bit sarcastic and is a sassy lady. She is also brilliant, beautiful and quirky. She had me sit up and take notice and so did Riley. He doesn’t realize she is His Someone Special but I knew it and when you read this story , you see she is the one for him immediately. Its unexpected but needed for him. The dual POV is shown for Riley and his lady so you see how they feel and what they are thinking in this story. Also, The Walsh family members are in this story and are definitely in this story so be prepared for the family. As always with the Walshes, there are the good times and the bad, the highs and the lows.
Riley –what can I say? He is so complex that I even now do not know what to say and am speechless. But in a good way. This story is breathtaking and complex, full of passion and angst, love and forgiveness. As always, Kate Canterbury has written a delectable tale that is romantic, sexy, passionate, and spellbinding. Kate has a way with her words and expressing emotions that come across to her readers and really gets you to feel her characters’ feelings whether they are full of love or anger or pain and yet still say invested until the very end. I am so glad she writes because I love every written word. This has been the book I have been waiting for and what a wait!! I cannot wait to see what she releases next!
My Rating: 4.9 stars *****
