The third and final book in the Painted Bay series follows Kane who we meet in book 2 and Abe a choreographer friend of Judahs in town for a few months to help Judah put on a performance with the disabled kids he works with. Kane has a not so great history with Judah, and I wasn't sure how I was going to come to understand his character and want him to get his HEA, but Jay managed it. After finishing book 2 I was left not liking Judah much because of his attitude in that book and I loved that Abe & Kane put him in his place in this one, his behaviour towards Kane is mostly understandable given the history but Kane clearly feels alot of remorse for his past and has been doing what he can to respect Judahs wishes & make up for it.
I really liked the relationship development between Abe & Kane, and felt that the issues etc that they go through and the way they were written was very realistic and a great representation of just being human, making mistakes and learning from them. Overall, it was a really good end to this particular series. It has the humour, tension, spice, etc, that I like from a Jay Hogan book, and Gary Furlongs narration was great. 🌶🌶
