Rhett's story brings us to the end of the Swift Brothers series in a small town, hurt/comfort, sexual awakening story that helps Rhett find himself and the family he's always wanted...
From the blurb:
Rhett
I’m the eldest Swift brother, the one who should have taken care of my siblings and protected them, but I’ve never been the kind of brother they deserve.
Both Morgan and East had the courage to walk away from our abusive father before I did, but now that I have, there’s no turning back. With that comes the realization that my whole life has been spent trying to be exactly what my father wanted, what I hate.
My brothers are moving on with their lives, and that brings Tripp Cassidy and his daughter, Meadow, into my orbit. For a reason I can’t understand, they both seem to like me. Tripp asks me about my favorite things, pushes me to figure out my dreams, and at thirteen years old, Meadow knows herself better than I ever have.
Every day I spend with Tripp, I can’t stop myself from looking at him differently, from craving him like I’ve never craved anyone. I haven’t been with a man, but from Tripp’s first touch, I never want him to stop.
There’s a lot to figure out—Tripp has been burned by love before, and he has Meadow to consider. I’m still working through my guilt and learning how to be the brother and man I’ve always wished I’d been. But for the first time in my life, true happiness is within reach, if only I could find a way to grab it.
Rhett is the emotional, hopeful, final book in the Swift Brothers series. It’s a small-town, hurt/comfort, single-dad romance with mature characters, demisexual awakening, strong family vibes, and the happily ever after they deserve. Rhett deals with sensitive themes of grief, loss of a parent/sibling (in the past), verbal/emotional abuse by a parent.
Molly Otto's Review:
Words can not describe the beauty that is the final piece of the Swift Brothers series. Each Brother has suffered in their own way, and it was a powerful thing to see these men to get their closure at long last. Rhett is learning how to finally be himself after so long trying to please a man who didn't deserve it. Enter Tripp and Meadow their relationship shows Rhett what a true parent should be. The build-up for their relationship is magical, and in a way, only Riley seems to pull off in the demisexual representation. You feel the connection forming and growing and understand completely how it happens and when it needs to.
This final piece of trilogy gives us hope after the pain and anger of the previous installments. Our three brothers received the therapy and closure they so needed to move on. Each man now leaves with each other and men who make them better and who they should have always been if someone would have given them a chance to shine.
Heather's Review:
If you've read the other Swift Brothers books, you know that each of the brothers has a traumatic relationship with their father... and while it's different from his brothers, Rhett is probably the most deeply scarred and the one who most needs to give himself permission to be himself and to discover who he is... so this book is his journey into finding both his own joy and the chance for a HEA with Tripp and his daughter, Meadow.
This book combines the power of perseverance, a willingness to embrace things that frighten Rhett and a healthy dose of therapy to deal with his grief, trauma and past abuse. I love that by embracing his demisexual awakening and his desire to build a family with Tripp, it also brings Rhett closer to his brothers and their partners. It was a lovely send off to the brothers and a beautiful read.
