The Isle Series: Book Three
Wig Tobias and Nibs Tyler have been together for a long while, but this year their love is about to be tested. Their business, the Blue Lagoon Restaurant on the Isle of Wight, is vandalized, and it may or may not be a coincidence that the neighbors want to buy them out. Making matters stickier, the police don’t seem interested in investigating until a friend of the couple, an out of town copper, prods them to take action.
Their friends, Paul and Olaf, Liam and Sam, and the whole Owens family come to help Wig and Nibs in their time of need. But Paul and Olaf may need a nudge from Wig and Nibs to keep their relationship alive. Meanwhile, a dear friend falls gravely ill. And if that’s not enough, Nibs has been hiding his own medical problems from Wig. When a gale strikes the Isle of Wight, the Blue Lagoon and its owners could be facing the end—unless they and their friends can unravel the knot of misfortune one hitch at a time
Review:
I had the pleasure of reading the first two book in this series also so I was familiar with the characters of Wig and Nibs. It’s lovely that these two got their own book now and we get to read their story 🙂
I really liked the concept of not going back in time but just presenting their story as it came. Reading how they are living at the present and what is happening in their lives at that current moment, you still find out little things about them along the way.
They are together for a long time and they have a wonderful, happy, complete relationship. Author Sue Brown makes sure there is emphasis on the fact that when the couple runs into trouble that we as a reader know they are in it together. I really liked that interpretation.
Together with the Owens family known from the former two books (especially Sam and Paul with their partners Liam and Olaf) they face what life throws at them.
This story is about family, friendship, closeness, surviving, standing tall and respect. It’s about being open and honest and finding out that in a long term relationship there is still work to do.
I have to say what caught my interest the most wasn’t so much Nibs and Wig and their story but it was the love I could read between Liam and Sam and the family aspect of this story. And let me mention family as in not just by blood, but specifically the relationship between Paul and Olaf. For some reason those two are so fascinating because of their differences? Because they are sexy as hell? Because there is so much left to say there, so much unanswered?
I hope author Sue Brown doesn’t stop with this story. I would love to read more about the Owens extended family and I hope she will find us a way to read how Paul and Olaf’s story will settle.
All in all I liked this story a lot. It is a comfortable read, the book flows nicely and it’s a great addition to the series.
