The Giant Angel Gets His Girl
This is the fourth book in this series and though technically it could stand alone, it’s much better if you read the preceding books. Plus they’re pretty funny so you’d enjoy them.
Cap Hayes is a giant of a man. He looks mean and threatening and knows how to throw and take a punch. He’s also a really nice guy who adores his strange family. He’s the baby of the family, born when his twin siblings were 9 or 10. He’s watched them get hitched (Hayes style) and have kids and basically become happier and he knows he wants that too.
Audrey Johansson is also the baby of her family. But instead of her family being regular crime bosses, they are biker crime bosses. She’s never felt like she really fit in with her family and never had a particular ambition other than to open a hipster bookshop with her cousins. When that fell through she didn’t know what to do. Audrey’s father and Cap’s father have had business dealings for years when Audrey is invited to go on a trip to White Horse, Tennessee from her home in Ellsberg, Kentucky with her father.
When Cap and Audrey set eyes on each other it’s insta-love time, the way it’s been for the rest of the Hayes family. Audrey takes the big leap and decides that she wants to explore a relationship with Cap so she plans to move to White Horse and rent a place whilst that exploration takes place.
This story is as much about Audrey working out who she is and how she fits in to her own family as well as Cap’s, as it is about their romance. Their romance is sweet and passionate and really funny but the family interactions are just as important. They are probably more hilarious too.
It’s fun watching the baby of the family, Cap, get his chance to shine. In the previous books he was treated as the baby of the family and now he gets to step up and take his place in the family as a mature(ish) adult.
The banter, as always, in White Horse is fabulous. I sniggered most of the way through the book. Cap’s attitude towards his in-laws was pretty hilarious too.
This is a great finish to the White Horse series as we see all of Cap’s family and how they have flourished over the years because his family is one of the most important parts of Cap’s story too. When you see the next generation of Hayes’ starting with their snark you know that they will continue being the weird rulers of White Horse for decades to come. Oh, how I hope I get to read about that next generation!
