Here is D.J. Jamison's latest and highly anticipated "Resting Beach Face." It's the fourth and final novel in the new Swallow Cove series.
["He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me?
Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely.
We should be like oil and water. They say opposites attract, but when you're graysexual, that equation doesn't balance out.
Or does it?
When Cash gets close, my defenses begin to crumble one by one. Each warm smile, each friendly gesture or hug makes me realize what I'm missing.
Cash's sunny warmth is like a ray of light breaking through the clouds. I can't help but soak it up.
But can I really trust the town player to keep my heart safe when no one else ever has?"]
These two made me ache. They were so adorable and piney. It did not help my current anxiety levels (neither did all that is Cash and how deeply complicated his emotions/feelings are--god, he made me want to sob on multiple occasions), but they were both so patient and communicated (multiple times).
And, like so many romance books (not always like life itself, but we can hope), life fell into place. Their jobs, their families, their love lives. After so much hard work and sacrifice and hard talks, it all just...worked out.
I'll miss this town and the people in it, but it was a really great transition into DJ's next series (Gray had so much page space here, teasing us (even though I read his book before this one) for his HEA in "Outcast", the first novel in DJ's Foster Bro Code series). Not to mention the sheer amount of cameos from Granville.
Trigger Warnings: alcoholism, alcoholic parent, emotional/verbal abuse, and more.
