I didn't think I could love this series any more than I already did, but
I've been proven wrong.
I went into this book thinking, okay, I suppose we
have to get through Phoenix's story, so we can move on. What a
misconception! I had heard people say this was their favorite book in
the series, but I just didn't know why that would be. In my mind, I had
made Phoenix into the horrible criminal that most other people in
Whiskey Creek had made her out to be, and just figured this would be more
of a stepping stone for Riley to get his happily ever after. I never
dreamed that it would come about the way that it did, and it was a VERY
pleasant surprise!
As the story unfolds, I felt the real passion and
love that they shared. I felt the pain that they had endured like a
physical blow. It was more than wanting two characters to find love, it
was about redemption and acceptance. Phoenix had so many things going
against her for so long, but she was so incredibly strong. Most of us
would have curled up in a little ball and given up, but not Phoenix. She
persevered. Even when she felt herself not worthy, she kept what was
most important to her in sight and allowed all of her love to help lift
up those that she loved.
There are just so many amazing things I could
say about this book. I really liked the way that the other characters
were on the peripheral. This was such a strong intense story that if the
other characters had been involved or had side stories like they had in
the past, I think this one would have not been so intense. It was so
delicate it could have gotten trampled in the telling. But of course,
the skill of Brenda Novak wouldn't let that happen!
I agree with what
I've heard....this is my favorite Whiskey Creek story!
