The third and final book in the Black Dog Inn series, Restoring Felix can easily be read standalone.
From the blurb:
When it inevitably got too much and he left, I’d be crushed. Maybe even devastated. But I’d be vindicated too, and that was a powerful enough emotion to get me through.
One bad decision five years ago means Felix Decker lives with chronic pain. It’s a challenge he’s learned to deal with and he’s content with his life. And more importantly, resigned to being alone. But all that gets turned upside down when a favor to a friend leads to Kellan Huntley entering his inner circle. Kellan is tall, beautiful, and sassy…and someone Felix thought he’d never see again. It’s all he can do to keep Kellan at arms length. Felix doesn’t need, or want, the reminder of who he used to be. Someone he can never be again.
Kellan chose to teach in Fairville on a whim and never expected to come face to face with the weekend hookup he can’t forget. Felix isn’t who he remembers and the new, grumpy jerk is upsetting to say the least. But that doesn’t stop Kellan from wanting to help the man who so clearly needs it.
The attraction between them is still as strong as ever. Kellan is determined to show Felix that his disability doesn’t diminish him in any way. Felix, for all that he craves Kellan’s touch, is just as determined to push Kellan away. But Kellan’s gentle persistence breaks through Felix’s walls, and what started as animosity soon gives way to affection. It takes time and communication, and a few bumps along the way, until Kellan can help Felix restore his belief in happily ever after.

Heather's Review:
This book is a chance for two men who made a long ago connection to reconnect under new and different circumstances. As a reader, it took me a bit to warm up to Felix, but once you get where he's coming from, you can appreciate him a little more. I truly liked Kellan and it was interesting to watch the two men circle each other.
This book definitely has the small town flair, lots of found family and some really interesting side characters. I also appreciate that while Felix has a disability, it's not the only dimension of his life and personality that gets explored.
Whether you read the series or just this book, I think you'll enjoy the writing, the characters and the setting!
