Review: Doo Wop (Tobin Tribe Series Book 4) by Caitlyn Coakley

Doo Wop by Caitlyn Coakley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Family Upheaval

The Tobin clan is going through the mill. Deb and Brian are still barely speaking because Brian refuses to apologise. The tension is felt throughout the whole family. On top of this, there seems to be problems with Clausen Construction, one of the family businesses.

For Riley, the middle child and mediator of the family, life is even more stressful than normal, because he’s stuck in the middle of all the tension, trying to smooth things out. As well as being a mediator Riley has a reputation in the family for indulging in free range sexual encounters, the less private the better. At the same time he wants a wife, family and children. Finding a woman who fits both criteria is a bit tricky to say the least.

At the latest Clausen Construction charity project he’s all set to find a lady to share his outdoors hobby, when he encounters Aubrey, a company accountant, who surprises him by informing him that looking for a wife amongst women who enjoy risky sexual behaviour with a virtual stranger is probably going to be very difficult.

This encounter intrigues Riley and leads him to rethink his approach to finding someone to love. Aubrey is definitely someone he would like a chance to woo.

I enjoyed this book but felt it was a little weaker than the others. The plot seemed like it skipped a few bits and you had to wait for an explanation about what happened in the missed section. Whilst this can be an effective narrative device in certain situations, I’m not sure it worked here. There was also an awful lot going on plot wise in this book. This seemed to slim down the amount of time we spent getting know Riley and Aubrey as a couple, and I felt a lot of their early relationship was missed out on.

All that being said, I still really enjoyed the book, as I do love the Tobins. I liked Aubrey and think she will be good for Riley. (I can't believe I just wrote that sentence, I think I'm spending too much time with fictional characters!)
