A review by bookishbrookeish
Crooked Rock Braves, by Pamela Sanderson

5.0

The last book of the Crooked Rock series focuses on Linda and Arnie. Linda is still struggling to make the Crooked Rock Urban Indian Center a reality. Arnie is pulled in too many directions to focus on any one project. They have a history dating back to college of mutual attraction, but have always remained friends and colleagues. Will working together on the Center push their relationship into romantic territory? Can they find a way to make their busy schedules fit into a life together?

This was the final book in a series of 4, so definitely start with book 1, as there are plot lines running through the entire series, even if each book focuses primarily on a different couple. All of these books are sweet, but also include heavy, real-world issues. I really like how the couples work through fights and misunderstandings in a way that feels true to life, and I was rooting for all of the couples as well as the Center. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this series (so much so that I got my library to buy #4 because they only had 1-3). Some books are steamier than others, but all are pretty open door.

Recommended For: Romance lovers, People who enjoy reading about relationships, anyone looking for #ownvoices books by Indigenous authors
