Tragic

Devney Perry — 2018

Kaine Reynolds wants nothing more than solitude. After an unthinkable tragedy destroys his family, he’s cut off all ties to his former life so he can battle his grief the only way he knows how. Alone. So when Piper Campbell knocks on his door, rambling on about being his new neighbor, he slams the door in her face. But Kaine’s gruff demeanor doesn’t scare her. She’s set on living in Montana and starting over after a terrible divorce. And she wouldn’t mind having a fling to chase away the pain of her husband’s betrayal. Her handsome, albeit rude, neighbor is the perfect candidate. Yet what neither of them suspect is that their no-strings affair will result in the surprise of Piper’s lifetime—and Kaine’s worst fear. ***** "TRAGIC is sexy, emotional, and compelling. Perry has created a story of loss, love, and forgiveness that will be enjoyed by all romance lovers!" – Melissa Foster, New York Times Bestselling Author “There are so many unexpected, heart-stopping moments in this story, and the author takes her time revealing every single one of them, letting it all unfold at a perfect pace. There are moments that are hard to read, and even harder to overcome, but Devney Perry’s keen-eyed ability to deliver a compelling, multi-faceted human tale through her characters is the very reason her books continue to feed my soul.” - Natasha is a Book Junkie “This book had a really fantastic balance of heart-warming sweetness and heart-wrenching backstories. It was a healing romance that really made you root for this couple to find peace in each other. I read it start to finish in one sitting and loved every word!” – Aestas Book Blog “Tragic is an emotional, inspiring and beautiful story about overcoming and conquering the past. It’s about finding the one that lights up your world in every sense of the way.” – Schmexy Girl Book Blog ***** For fans of: Nora Roberts, Kristen Ashley, Sarina Bowen, Vi Keeland, Susan Stoker, Tessa Bailey, Helena Hunting, Elle Kennedy, Toni Aleo, Kristen Callihan, LJ Shen, Mona Kasten, Corinne Michaels, Jana Aston, Karina Halle, Jay Crownover, Anna Todd, Geneva Lee, Audrey Carlan, Piper Rayne, Suzanne Brockmann, Helen Hoang, Christina Lauren, Kristan Higgins, Sally Thorne, Penelope Ward, Debbie Macomber, Maisey Yates, Sarah Mayberry, Lauren Blakely, Susan Mallery, Penny Reid, Julia Kent, Kelly Jamieson, Melanie Harlow, Kendall Ryan, Kennedy Ryan, Helen Hardt, Meghan March, Meli Raine, Sylvia Day, Chelle Bliss, Brenda Rothert, Natasha Madison, Kylie Scott, Sloane Kennedy, Penelope Sky, K.A.

Tragic I have had this book on my TBR for the LONGEST time, its been a book I have been meaning to get to. I am not sure why I stopped reading this series but I did decide that when it comes to this author, audiobooks are the best way to go. I knew that this book would be heartfelt and very emotional. I mean just looking at the cover, you know that this pair won't have an easy road and I did enjoy seeing this author develop this story with a mix of some fun tropes. What we have with Tragic is a set of tropes includingL Fling, Accidental Pregnancy, Grumpy Sunshine, Next Door Neighbor, and Enemies to Lovers. So I really had a fun time in seeing this author develop this story and the way that these characters come together. These two really have some fun angst, and most of it comes down to our hero who is reclusive and grumpy. He hides his pain by being a grump and broody and it's delightful seeing our heroine stand up to him and the sexual tension between them is superb. I really liked the way that this author wrote their tension while also building on the emotional tension that builds between them. (view spoiler)[I loved how she implemented the pregnancy as it blew me away. Those who have read the book know what I mean by that but I never expected this trope to happen and I loved that. (hide spoiler)] I also really liked seeing a family heal of their past hurts and I need the brothers story which is book two in her Gypsy Tin series so very excited to grab that one up there.

4.5 stars Gah, this one was an emotional one. Big surprise that a book titled Tragic would end up being just that.. tragic. Kaine’s story was heartbreaking and I appreciated the realness of his journey working through all of his rage, heartbreak and loneliness due to the tragedy from his past. I loved the overall theme of Piper and Kaine’s “magic” and how they both kind of brought each other to life. More specifically, Piper with Kaine and her ability to be his calm in some of his worst moments. I’m glad I got Isaiah’s backstory after meeting him in the first Clifton Forge book. Can’t wait to get the rest of his story once I get back to that series.
