And For Us: An Opposites Attract, MM, Small Town Romance (Ripple Effect Book 3)

I had been waiting for this one since reading book 1 and it did not disappoint! I was so excited to get Ripley’s story 🥹 In book 1 we are introduced to Seth and I honestly was not his biggest fan. But boy oh boy did he redeem himself!! Him and Ripley are the cutest when they finally get out of their own way and just admit (mostly Seth) that they want to be together and make it work. After seeing what he has been going through, I quickly grew to love Seth and just wanted to see him happy and feeling free. And Ripley definitely does that for him. Ripley is the best and I will always adore him. Is he a little petty when it comes to Seth? Yes, but it’s what makes him, him! And I think I would be the same way if I was in their situation 😅 However, he is always a great friend to everyone and was so deserving of his HEA! Everyone in these stories will forever be in my heart and I am so excited to return soon!

**I received an Advance Reader's Copy; all opinions expressed are my own!** I’ve been so eager for Ripley’s story, especially after seeing glimpses of his past in books 1 and 2, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The little twist about who his mystery man, West, ended up to be was so fun (but, I also had a feeling that it might be Seth). I enjoyed seeing the small glimpses of their past history throughout the story because it gave us a deeper view of everything that they’d gone through to get to where they were in this book. Ripley was the chaos demon of my dreams; I loved that he lived for drama, but not in a way that would hurt the people he cared about. It was great to see him be serious when he needed to be, but that didn’t stop him from being absolute chaos most of the time. Despite Seth being the complete opposite, and being constantly annoyed by Ripley’s chaos, it ended up being so good for him because it helped him loosen up a bit and embrace his life a bit more. It was great seeing Seth come to Indigo Hill and fall in love with the slower pace of small town life. It was also amazing to see Seth learn more about himself on the trip and mend his relationship with Thea. It took them some time, but eventually they made up and bonded on a new level over one of the main things they had in common: Ripley! Seth was more serious throughout the book, and some might even say uptight, but once we saw everything that happened in his personal life with his father, it all…
