Covington Acres by Riley Hart

4.0

Firstly, I will say this is a story of two halves. Once you finish reading, it all makes sense. The first half feels flat on emotion, a bit gloomy because that reflects the feelings of Colby. Colby is a bit adrift, he can't seem to fall in love and doesn't know how to fix it. Constantly feeling something is wrong with him, always feeling like everyone has these great expectations of him and it weighs heavily. Luckily, he has his best friend, Vince, who can see he is low and is trying to help him out of his funk. Fun and flirty throughout, these two are best of friends and decide on an overnight trip to a club to have fun and find Vince a hookup.  This wasn't far off an only one bed story, with how being in close proximity helped shift some thoughts. Feelings don't come into this story until near the end and it scares both of them. Colby discovers some revelations about his sexuality and having a possible label really brings him some peace. Vince has been burned too many times and isn't sure his heart could take another break. Luckily, all the friends and family are really supportive and give great advice. In the end the feelings are deep and special and by the time we get to Monroe and Holden's wedding, it is very emotional. We initially met Vince with book 1 and he has definitely matured as a character and one I really liked. His friendship with Holden is special and Holden was a great support in this book. A great small town series, with a huge heart and I hope the new brewery could possibly bring a spin off.
