The Rest of the Story by Tal Bauer

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.0

This one was EMOTIONAL. Following veteran Morgan as he gets traded to the worst team in the league, and how upon arrival he finds a broken and traumatized team. He quickly steps in and finds himself irrevocably tied to the team, and not just because of his budding romance with his rookie co-captain Shea. I thought it did a good job of both introducing the collective trauma the Outlaws were going through without overly centering it in a way that made it unreadable as a romance novel. Definitely a darker story with its themes (please check the CWs before picking up), this is absolutely one of my favorite found family stories. The final major event of the book I did NOT see coming and was sitting on my couch staring at this book in shock as I furiously DMed my friends who told me to read this. The romance itself moved a little quick for me, and the language was overly fluffy for me, but I love Morgan and Shea so much my brain let it slide for the most part!
