Barefoot at Moonrise by Roxanne St. Claire
4.0
My favorite of the Barefoot Bay universe so far!
I really enjoyed Barefoot at Moonrise. A second-chance romance with a firefighter hero (and his un-firefighterly dog)? Yes, please! I loved "only you can call me" Kenny and "poster child for independent women" Beth. Together or apart, they are a hero and heroine it's easy to root for. They're not perfect--Beth takes the independent bit a little too far at times, and Ken has a tendency to see things as a bit more black-and-white then they actually are--but together they compliment each other nicely.
Plus, did I mention there's a dog involved? And a shirtless firefighter performing a demolition of a kitchen and master bath? Not to mention Ken has a a boat and a dock with a nice big Adirondack chair on it. Waterfront. Property. Really, I'm not sure what more you could want from a hero. Goodness knows he had me from page one.
And Beth owns her own business and typically does her own demolitions, except when she can't because of reasons. How cool is that?
Though it's second in the trilogy, Moonrise worked just fine as a standalone. It gives you enough of a glimpse of the hero of book one (Mike from [b:Barefoot at Sunset|30170232|Barefoot at Sunset (Barefoot Bay Timeless, #1; Barefoot Bay Universe, #15)|Roxanne St. Claire|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1462992873s/30170232.jpg|50609958]) and book three (Lawson from[b:Barefoot at Midnight|30170283|Barefoot at Midnight (Barefoot Bay Timeless, #3; Barefoot Bay Universe #17)|Roxanne St. Claire|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1462993553s/30170283.jpg|50610031]--I cannot wait to see that guy become a one-woman man! I'm pretty sure there will be kicking and screaming involved) that you'll probably find your TBR increasing by two more before you're even finished with this one.
The Barefoot Bay Timeless trilogy almost makes me want to go to my next high school reunion.
But only almost. Because really, let's not get crazy. It is fiction, after all. And I remember high school just a little too well, for all that it was mumble, mumble years ago. ;)
Rating: 4 stars / B+
