This wrecked me. In the best possible way, I sobbed through most of this book. EM Lindsey is a master at making you feel things and being happy you did. Taking very real emotions and weaving them into a beautiful romance.

The books in the series can be read as standalone's, but this is Hervé’s redemption story, so it is all the more powerful having read Switch Hitter, Book 1. And oh what a redemption story it is. The collective hatred for Hervé and how he treated Pietro and Thierry was palpable, but under the skillful talent of EM, and the sweet acceptance of Orion, we get to see the man Thierry knew he could be.

Orion’s world is crumbling around him, so his best friend sends him away to a little village in France to hide out, process everything, and give him time to figure a way through. What he doesn’t expect is to find the man who hurt his friends also there, looking broken and alone. Despite it all, something tugs at him to spend more time with Hervé.

What follows is a story about grieving, and finding acceptance and love from the most unexpected person. The care and tenderness that they afford each other are truly special.

There are so many great parts of this story…Hervé’s work to process who he was and who he wants to be, the patience and understanding Orion has, and the fact they don’t hide what’s happening between them. I also cherished the storyline of Orion and his best friend. What I love most of all is that Hervé’s redemption isn’t magically perfect, but it is perfectly beautiful.

I’m so happy to have been able to enjoy the journey of these Hit & Run men, though sad it’s over. Can’t wait to see where EM Lindsey takes us next.
