First off a quick disclaimer. I received this book as a free ARC with the understanding that I would write a honest review for it once I had read it.
So here it goes...
Strawberry Moon is the fourth book in the Maple Springs series and having previously read the first three I have to say that I had high expectations for this one. The author more than met those expectations, in fact this may just be the best book of the series. Though the characters from the previous book have only very small parts in this story, that and the setting mean it is fondly familiar. This book needed to be hyper-focused on Trevor and Josh; not just because the book is about their falling for one another. I was necessary because both Josh and Trevor are some of the most complex characters I have seen created by an author. Then add into that their family situations and it leaves a heck of a lot to explore and be explained. I absolutely loved the Josh inheriting the cabin and needing to fix it up to sell idea as a way of putting he and Trevor in the pot and starting things cooking. It worked so very well. Josh and Trevor were so meant to be and the author tells their story of each figuring that out in such an enthralling, charming way that I just could not put the book down and read it straight through start to finish. It made me cry more than a few times and the love scenes are totaly hot. All in all this book is an awesome read.. if you have not read the previous books in the series than do so immediately. If you are not planning to do that then at least read this one. You will not be disappointed!!!!
