I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
In this third entry in the In Midsummer series, Rocky and Conner are in a steady relationship, but they are juggling a lot. At the end of the second book, Rocky's ex-wife had abandoned her new baby with Rocky and Conner, and baby Ryder is still settling in, which means no sleep and no alone time for the two men.
Then add in Rocky being shot at, constant dangerous prank calls, and some big decisions, plus of course some mysteries to solve, and life has become extremely complicated.
My one issue with the previous book in the series was I felt the solution to the main mystery just didn't work. But I though the solutions were handled much better in this book. While some people's reactions may have seemed a little extreme, they worked within the world Frances has created. I thought it was really clever how things tied together.
The supporting characters are full of life and each adds something to the story. I especially love Conner's best friend Love, a journalist, and Rocky's daughter, River (though she unfortunately wasn't in this book much).
But what keeps me coming back to this series is absolutely Rocky and Conner, both as characters and as a couple. They just completely work, and I really love them.
I'm looking forward to the fourth book in the series!
