Everyone else in Dixie Carmichael's life has made falling in love look easy, and now she's ready for her own chance at happy ever after.

Saints of Denver Church's Story...

Originally Reviewed on my book blog the Bewitching Bibliophile

I really loved this one. Romance, unrequited lov, a road trip, small southern towns and a bit of a mystery all rolled into one with another hot southern charmer in the Denver crew. Church is close to the main Marked Men because he is friends with all of them but especially with Rome as they served together in the Army. I loved that we didn't get the hints of Church's true story until the story really began on their way out of Denver. I also loved that Jay recognized that there are instances where it really sucks to travel deeper into the heartland, and even had instances of scenarios where as a black person int he US we notice things that the white person traveling with us might not even be aware of.

This is Church's story and Church shared with us his hunt for finding a place as a biracial child in a small town that isn't always as open and forgiving as some like to think. We see instances of the camaraderie of a community as well as the instances of coldness with yo are clearly other. I loved that even in these moments there were moments of acceptance for Church by the people who matter most.

Con of the story:

The mystery wasn't fully formed; it was a bit of just background noise ; it didn't have me at the edge of the seat. I guessed pretty early who it was (huge mystery reader, so yeah). The reveal still made me nervous because Jay isn't afraid to make our characters hurt and badly too. But damn that was still unhinged and just dang why?? Why are people so horrible??

Pros of the story:

The well developed characters.
