Review: The Reality of Everything (Flight & Glory #5) by Rebecca Yarros

 

Synopsis

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door.

At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why.

It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable―she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer.

She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery.

He’s a crash waiting to happen.

Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.

Review

A beautiful story of love, loss, and hope.

It's yet another romantic emotional roller coaster by Rebecca Yarros. I loved everything about this book. The story is great, it's equal part tragic and happy, it's romantic, and it has the characters you can root for and fall in love with. Basically, it's a whole package; a book that all romance lovers can enjoy. I definitely recommend it, as long as you don't mind getting emotional over fictional characters and situations.

Morgan isn't looking for a relationship. All she wants is a place she can call home and a new start. Maybe then she will be able to leave the past behind and finally move on. That's why she bought a beach house. However, things become complicated as soon as she moved to her new place. To make things worse, her neighbor is someone she is having trouble getting out of her head. Will she ever be able to move on from the past heartache or is sadness now her constant companion?

Jackson entire life is about his daughter. He can't bring a third person into their lives and cause her any kind of pain or emotional stress. That's why one-night-stands are all he is good at. He simply can't afford to do relationships. Also, that's why he can never get involved with Morgan. She is someone that his daughter will be seeing since they are neighbors. Unfortunately for them both,  fate has something else in mind. But will he ever be able to deal with everything that life is going to throw their way?

It's a beautiful story about recovering from heart break and finding your dormant feelings once again. It's very well-written and the kind of book that you'll have a hard time putting down, once you started reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
