I’m sad to say goodbye to the characters of Mount Hope but I’m thrilled that Eric finally has his story told. 

Eric can be a little bit prickly at times and tends to overthink things but he is also a wonderful Dad, a highly respected paramedic and a grieving widower. Barowner Magnus is very much a people person who happens to be interested in Eric. Circumstances have them spending a lot of together when Magnus is in need of accommodation and stays on Eric’s property. Both feel the attraction but Eric is of course a bit wary to begin with but soon the chemistry between cannot be held at bay any longer. The “friends” arrangement does slowly morph into more for both of these very likeable individuals and although there’s some hesitation, especially when it comes to the offspring’s reactions, communication is the key to Eric and Magnus getting the HEA they wanted. There’s plenty of sweet balanced with steam along with some minor angst and I had the biggest smile on my face and a very happy heart at the end.  As previously stated it’s a bittersweet farewell to Mount Hope but what a way to say goodbye.
