I think this is Gwen's best book yet, and I'm almost glad it took me so long to discover her books because the wait for Nat's story in Night Herons #2 might be agony if I didn't already have part of her between-book wait completed. Considering I devoured her 7-book backlist in 4 days (a technicality based on finishing a book after midnight....) when I was trying to make them last as long as I could, it'll still probably be torture. But at least 11 months of however long it'll be have already passed.

Now, the book:

It was one of the best second-chance romances I've read. Both in the reason their first run at a relationship didn't work out, the cleanness of the break, their thoughts on the relationship afterwards, and their chemistry + realistic emotions upon reconnecting 14 years later.

The depth and consistency of characterization and the trajectory of character growth was fantastic, e.g., Jason's reaction to finding Emma's presumed duplicity takes the same form as their college breakup, but he actually works through it on his end within a couple of hours, reevaluates and regrets what he said rather than going off and betraying her in turn.

The plot was less predictable than many romantic suspense / protector romance novels. It's a sub-genre prone to formulaic rehashes that depend on well-fleshed out characters to make them readable, and this was definitely not that.

Based on the setup, it looks like Night Herons is going to have a bit more of an ongoing story arc between the books than Gwen's Men of Steel series did. I can't wait!

Literally, I can't. Gwen, please tell me the next book is coming out next week? (
