Years of adversity have molded Henley McClure into the attentive, conscientious psychologist she is today. She lives for her daughter, Jasna, and her work at The Refuge, an exclusive retreat for victims of PTSD. Her life is fulfilling....if a little lonely. But the only man who's captured her interest, the the most standoffish of the mountain retreat's seven owners, lives in self-imposed isolation. It will take a little vulnerability on her own part, a dead car battery, and the surprising help of her daughter to break through Finn's defenses. Deserving Henley by Susan Stoker was published in January 2023. This is book two of The Refuge series.
I loved the two characters in this book. Finn is a big old sweetheart that you met through the other book. He is very isolated because of his past that you get to see more about throughout the book on why he isolates himself and is drawn to animals. I also loved getting to know Henley. You see her a little bit through the other book but in this book you get to see her shine. You also get to learn more about Henley and how she became a single mom of an preteen daughter. The relationship between Finn and Henley is so sweet and how they first start tiptoes around each other. The plot in this book has great ebb and flow. There are some slow parts but it's easy to get past into some action parts. There is very low smut in this book but the romance in this book is high. I highly recommend checking out this book.
