Bringing two of Jay Hogan's worlds together, The Geography of Happiness takes Terry from Painted Bay to McKenzie County and into an opportunity to find love...
From the blurb:
One thing I know about Terry O’Connor—the man has complicated relationship written all over him, something I’ve avoided for pretty much forever. One thing I know about Terry’s hometown, Painted Bay—it’s a long, long way from my life as a Mackenzie Country veterinarian, and dedicated, carefree bachelor. All of which should be good news.
No reason to look twice at the gorgeous man currently staying at Miller Station with his daughter.
No reason to daydream about his soft lips, quirky sense of humour, sexy smile, or the way he blushes whenever he catches me staring which is far too often.
No reason to second guess my future plans or reconsider the no-strings lifestyle I’ve worked hard to perfect.
And absolutely no reason to feel disappointed that Terry is even less interested in a relationship than I am. I should be relieved.
Then why can’t I stop thinking about him and how right it feels when we’re together? Why does my heart spin at the very mention of his name? And why does the thought of moving on without Terry and his daughter in my life feel like the loneliest decision in the world?
Lesetiger's review:
The Geography of Happiness is the fourth and final book in the MacKenzie Country series and now Spencer finally gets his story.
He meets Terry from Painted Bay. Some will already know Terry, I haven't read the Painted Bay series yet but will do so soon. Terry is at Miller Station with his daughter Hannah when they have their first encounter with Spencer. I already knew Spencer, he's loving, friendly, likeable and he's a handsome vet. Plus, he himself is amazed at his reaction to meeting Terry for the first time. The chemistry is definitely there, but when it comes to the two of them, it's a slow burn romance. This is partly due to the distance between their homes, but it's also due to Terry's relationship as a father to his daughter Hannah, who has special needs. Terry is very protective when it comes to his daughter and this relationship takes up quite a lot of space, so Terry and Spencer's relationship almost gets a bit of a raw deal.
Of course I was happy to see the other couples in the series again, the author did a good job. In general, I think the author's writing style is wonderful.
The story is entertaining and emotional. The landscape and the scenes are superbly described and I think it's almost a bit of a pity that this is the last volume in the series.
I've been looking forward to this audiobook and I have to say that Gary Furlong's performance was once again absolutely fantastic! He gave each character a fitting voice and I was able to tell them all apart very well. Gary Furlong's narration was very lively and entertaining, so it was a pleasure to listen to the story of Spencer, Terry and Hannah.
I highly recommend the entire MacKenzie Country series!
