Shifting Gears by Melanie Moreland

 

Book Three in the Reynold’s Restoration series focuses on Brett and Kelly. We’ve gotten bits of them in the previous books, but now the focus is on them and their difficult pasts with each other. When the story begins, we find that Kelly is back in town, and Brett isn’t exactly pleased about that. She’s broken his heart before, and he’s not too excited that she’s around again. But, little by little, things change, and their relationship goes from strained to friends and then to much more.

I love when you get a couple’s whole story and see how it’s all evolved, and that’s the case with Shifting Gears. I enjoyed seeing how each Brett and Kelly were wounded by their pasts both together and otherwise, and then how things were resolved. There’s a lot of history between them that needed to be settled, and Moreland gives a us that in a way that’s cute but steamy and with solid storytelling.

Plus, something I’ve loved about this whole series and now this book is that we get this larger group of characters that are just as good as the main characters. I adore how each of the books revisit all the other previous main characters, and we get glimpses of their lives now. Also, the idea that family is made up of the people you care about that aren’t necessarily directly related to you permeates this story, and I love the camaraderie and genuine affection these characters have for one another. There’s something very endearing about it all, and it’s part of why I enjoy this story (and series) as much as I do.

So, if you’re looking for a sweet but steamy story of love and redemption with a likeable cast of characters, then I suggest checking out Shifting Gears. This second chance/friends to lovers/smalltown romance is another well written book in this series, and it’s not to be missed.
