YesWould I read more in this series? YesThank you to NetGalley and Harlequin for the ARC – This is my honest review. Smiling now as I think about them and the wonderful lives they have ahead of them. *eARC received via Netgalley.The Rivals of Casper Road by Roan ParrishThe Garnet Run Series #4Delightful way to spend the afternoon – Truly enjoyed watching Bram and Zachary meet, get to know one another, and eventually fall in love. The way Bram's steady presence won Zachary over and how they both supported one another's passions made The Rivals of Casper Road a feel good romance I'd definitely recommend to fans of sweet, lower-angst stories. I also enjoyed the plotline of a neighborhood decorating contest that pits the new neighbors and love interest against each other at first. I really liked the easy, open vibe of Bram, especially when he turned that charm and honest acceptance on his new neighbor, Zachary. So while I miss some of the edge I've come to expect from Roan Parrish, The Rivals of Casper Road is still an enjoyable read. What isn't different are the dynamic characters with interesting backstories and a smooth writing style that pulls the reader in. There is a lighter, softer feel to the stories and romances contrasted with some of her more intense angsty novels. While there's certainly character overlap in each book, they definitely can standalone or be read out of order.Īs a longtime fan of this author's work, I have to say that the entire Garnet Run series has a bit of a different feel than most of her previous works. The Rivals of Casper Road by Roan Parrish The Garnet Run Series 4 Delightful way to spend the afternoon Truly enjoyed watching Bram and Zachary meet, get to know one another, and eventually fall in love. The Rivals of Casper Road is the fourth book in the Garnet Run series.
