Rock Falls is a place to fall in love with!
This series just keeps getting better. Anne Jolin has created this sense of community with a group of characters that keeps delivering the most enjoyable listens. Finally we get to hear how Jackson has evolved. We had gotten to see him in previous books, but this one is on point with his illness and how he handles the things life throws at him. Right from the beginning, an unexpected turn shows up at Jackson's door...a six year old boy claiming to be his son. Ryker is the splitting image of Jackson, and the immediate response is love and protectiveness. A hands on dad from that day on, Jackson enrolls Ryker in school and he gets to meet his teacher, Kennedy. And the sparks fly. Kennedy has her own set of issues to deal with and is not ready to. Put these two together, with the self made family, the possibility of a custody battle and bipolar disorder and this book is taking them for a ride. I love this journey the two are on, their evolving relationship and how they truly are smitten. Their banter and love is so evident that it is easy to get caught up in the story. I have to say though, as much as I love Jackson, Ryker stole my heart. That young boy is smart and lovable, easily stealing my heart. Aiden Snow and Lucy Rivers are an incredible narration team, giving these characters warmth and emotion. The two give life to this ensemble cast and bring you right into the fold, making you feel like you are right there with them.
