Clover & Range finally get their happily ever after but it takes some ups and downs before they say I do. I enjoyed being back with the gang and even with the bitter sweet moments. There are memories that are revealed that will bring a smile to your face when you’re on the verge of tears. I’m dying to get to Max’s story what a freakin cliffhanger but at the same time a closure to Clover and Range.
Just love the Junkyard books, this book went into more detail with Range and Clover and we get to visit with the rest of the gang, Shelley is a hoot she needs a story! Great read, so glad I found this series!
In this novella (a short novel), SH Richardson continues the story of Range and Clover who were introduced in the very first book in the series, The Junkyard Boys. They’re set to get married and start their life together and move on to a HEA (Happily Ever After). The problem is, old wounds, hidden truths, loss, stress and trauma fuel the uncertainty that they face on a daily basis with in their lives and the ones around them. What should be the happiest time of their lives is turning out to be a disaster that can change them forever. Who shows up out of nowhere? Who keeps their word? Who tells the truth? Will the family they’ve shared with each other help bring it all together again? What else will they have to endure in order to finally get what they so desperately need?
Loved (positive): There is so much I loved about this book! Range and Clover are the focus of this book, but it’s the supporting characters who add another level of depth to their overall journey. It was awesome to be given a little more information about their pasts as it delves into their complexity. One of the best things? All the Buck-isms! If you loved Buck from the two books, you’ll be thrilled to learn more about the man who opened his junkyard to a group of boys needing guidance.
Not sure (negative): Can I say the fact that we have to wait for the creative process and characters to speak to Sharon before we get the next one?
Overall: Sharon could have easily just added on to this with the sometimes expected minimalist approach of their wedding, the process, family mishaps, etc. But instead, she reaches into the heart of their story and yank out all the feels and throw them at us. Although she’s showing her fans that true love can happen for her characters, she’s showing us that it doesn’t just end here. There are more characters, layers, scenes, emotions, Buck-isms, complexity and creativity that Sharon has set us up with a glimpse of as well. This isn’t just a novella, but a continuance of a journey in the series that will continue to capture readers. If you haven’t read the The Junkyard Boys or The Scrapyard Man, you should! Read them all then you can be sitting here with the rest of us pestering her to find out just who gets a story next after an ending like that one? Oh did I not mention the thought provoking ending that had me yelling at my kindle? Oh yes… there is……
My star rating:5 stars
