Scythe & Sparrow, Brynne Weaver

Story Blurb

Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.

But then the real circus finds him.

Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.

The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.

. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.

My Thoughts/Opinion

I really enjoyed the conclusion of this trilogy and the post story excerpts that bring us all the way back to Sloane and Rowan from Butcher & Blackbird. Fionn and Rose have incredible chemistry. I was a little disappointed in the lack of filling out Fionn's tragic broken heart backstory which was why he was where he was mentally and physically. And I'm not exactly sure the timelines added up between book two and three, which kind of took place in the same continuum, but the writing and the love story were enough to still to sustain this book as a great read for me.
