Pixie Fairy meets Grumpy Cat and it’s a blast!
This book is the second installment in the Silver Island series by Melissa Foster. You meet Jules Steele, who survived cancer when she was a toddler, which makes her have a “let’s live live to the fullest” kind of girl. She delivers her own kind of pixie dust wherever she goes. And then there is Grant, who she has known all her life. He has returned home after serving in the military, with a heavy heart after losing his leg. Jules cannot stand seeing him go through such a hard time and not try to help. Grant is not so open to being helped. The fact that he has known her all her life, that she is such a pure and beautiful soul makes him want to stay away at all costs. Well, fairies are irresistible!
The characters are really well developed. You can totally sympathize with what Grant is going through and Jules is sweeter than sweet (but not an annoying character, as it could have happened in the hands of a less skilled writer). It’s a joy to see these two find a way to each other and to happiness. There are really sweet moments, really funny ones (be prepared to have “Baby Shark” stuck in your head LOL) and OH SO HOT moments too.
Although this is part of a series, it is a standalone novel. However, I can’t emphasize enough that you would be missing a lot if you are not reading the Love in Bloom series. Go grab the other books. You will thank me later.
A side note: can we talk about this swoon worthy cover??? I am a sucker for covers that actually depict the couple and if they are true to a scene in the book I am a goner. This cover is all that. The models ARE Grant and Jules and that is a sweet scene in the book.
I read the book and as soon as the audiobook came out I listened to it. Melissa pick two great narrators, and they did a wonderful job. However, I always depict someone older when I hear Aiden Snow. He’s a great narrator, duh, and he does a wonderful job, but he just didn’t sound like the Grant I pictured in my head.
