The sweet story of Claire, a sheltered interior designer dealing with PTSD from gun violence, and Logan, an adventurous travel photographer hoping to break Claire out of her mundane life.
Claire loves her simple, safe life in Sanctuary Sound. She values her family and her safety over all else, largely because she was shot in the hip by a mass shooter several years ago. This left her with the need for a cane, nerve damage, and a fear of risk-taking. When Logan, Claire’s childhood crush and brother to her arch enemy, comes back to town to take care of his sister dealing with breast cancer, he takes an interest in Claire and wants to help her out of her comfort zone.
This is such a sweet, mild romance, y’all! As you know, I don’t read a ton of romance novels, but I really enjoyed this one. Very light on sex, this book focuses most heavily on Claire and Logan’s personal growth and deep themes like taking risks, female friendships, and forgiveness. There isn’t too much flippant dialogue (a complaint I often have of romances), and the alternating POV is great for character development of both Claire and Logan. This story is just so sweet, but it also delves into very serious topics that make the novel so rich and multi-dimensional. It’s perfect for romance newbies and even audiences that aren’t keen on romance.
