Any additional comments?
Wow, was I in for a huge surprise with this audiobook, 10th in the series by Ms Gilmore, Clover Park. All good!!
Totally not what I expected of Angels and Julias story. Though part of a series, it is truly a stand alone.
That said, if you have listened/read the previous books, you will get to visit with the those characters as well and find out how they are doing .
Angel is the last single/unattached brother of the Marino/Reynolds clan. He and Julia have a history that extends from their meeting in college to the present as co-workers in the school where she teaches and he is a social worker. Its a friends to lovers story, full of twists and turns, surprises, roll player and LOTS of heat.
A truly complex plot that will keep you on your toes.
That said, while others will give you more on the storyline, I want to add that it made me think about how one incident that can occur in someones life 10 years before, can really affect how the lives of multiple individuals are affected. Sometimes causing hurts , misunderstandings, longing and guilt. Thought provoking for sure.
I do want to say that Mr Lawerences narration of the audiobook was excellent and will not hesitate to pick up an audiobook narrated by him, or a book written by this talented author.
I was gifted this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Angelo & Julia
Any additional comments?
Angelo loved Julia from the moment he met her and loved spending time with her. His friend Brad knew how he felt about her and jumped in front of Angelo and went after her. Brad was Julia's first in everything. She was attracted to both Angelo and Brad, but felt she needed to stay with Brad because he was adopted like she was. Julia has spent many years mourning his death and feels ready to move on, but she wants Angelo to move on. Brad hid many things from Julia and Angelo. Julia has problems knowing what she wants and acting on them. She hurts herself as often as she hurts Angelo.
Great Finish!
This 10th book is a great finish to the Clover Park Series. The entire series is fun and entertaining. Angelo Angel Marino is the youngest of the family and the last single man standing.
