Mac by Mia MaloneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
It Starts With Email
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This appears to be the final book in this series, which I’m pretty sad about, because Wilhemine is an awesome place to visit. However this book is about Mac, the last of The Brothers to find happiness. It makes sense to end the series here, but I hope that maybe the author might be tempted to return to cover the younger generation who all appear to be pretty interesting folks.
This book feels a lot more complicated than the others and that’s because it’s about a much more complex situation. Mac lost his beloved wife and son 12 (ish) years ago when they were killed by a criminal who belonged to a gang The Brothers wiped out. Mac never really recovered from their loss. He had longer term hook ups but never looked for another relationship. He also kept his emotions bottled up and away from his friends and family.
When Mac first met Beth they had a misunderstanding and Beth was hurt by it. After she left Wilhemine Mac decided to email her to apologise and they end up communicating for well over 9 months via email as Beth travelled the world with her best friend Bebe. Beth was trying to recover from the death of her police officer husband. She turned to Mac because he understood the loss of a spouse in terrible circumstances. Slowly they both grew closer and closer, without ever meeting again, until Beth decides to come and visit Bebe again.
I loved that this story was messy and that there were hiccups in the relationship because both parties were vulnerable. There was also Beth’s adult children to take into consideration. Once again the friendships between all people in this group shines through on almost every page. It also overflows into the friendships all the children have or are developing.
Whilst this book mainly focused on the relationship side of things, it did also have sections of action based plot, as is to be expected as Mac is the police chief. As usual The Brothers pitch in to help, as do Wolves MC (I’d really love to see a series about them!!)
This series really is wonderful and this was an excellent book to round it out so everyone gets their HEA. I’ve enjoyed every minute of this series that covers people in their middle years finding happiness. It was well written and the characters were wonderfully engaging. This is definitely an author I will be reading in the future.
