Navarro (Rebel Sky Ranch #3)

Here's "Navarro" by Kelly Fox. It's the third novel in the Rebel Sky Ranch series, which is within the Wrecked universe. 

["My late wife made a bet with me: if I marry her brother, I have to take his last name.

“That's the rule. You marry two Navarros, you become one of us.”

Renée always did have a sense of humor—even as she was dying—but I’ll never love anyone the way I loved her. Falling for my brother-in-law? Psh. Desi’s almost twenty years younger than me and far too pretty.

Besides, my son would never forgive me.

Still, it's getting harder and harder to deny our chemistry with every encounter. I just want to pretend that none of this is happening.

God, what if I can’t keep pretending?
The worst kept secret at Rebel Sky Ranch is that I’m deeply, tragically in love with Wyatt Goodnight.

Not only is he my late sister’s husband, but he may have changed my diapers once upon a time. And his son, my best friend, hates the fact that I’m in love with his father.

Complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.

There are times when I think I’m the only person who sees the real Wyatt. The man who sacrificed everything for my sister, who moved heaven and earth to try to save her. The man who wants a life beyond the ranch.

But he denies us, ignores his own feelings, and pretends that his hands don’t know the exact weight and measure of me.

What if he never sees how good we could be together?"]

Let me see if I got this right, Wy: Desi is cute and perfect and deserves the world, but he'll always be that gangly child, but you get jealous when he's with other men, but you don't feel that way for him (though, in your humble opinion, he doesn't have a crush on you anymore). Did I sum that up well? No wonder Dez is getting whiplash. 

Wow, this book made me cry. A lot. Like a lot a lot. It was devastating, but it was also beautiful and kind and healing. 

I have a feeling the next book will make me cry, too…

Trigger Warnings: death of a loved one and associated grief, off-page attempted suicide, mentions of homophobia, and more.
