Beach House No. 9

review 1: I ended up liking this one more than I thought I would at the beginning. Griffin was pretty difficult to warm up to but I did like Jane right from the start. I was also sucked into the secondary marriage in trouble romance. I wouldn't buy the HEA in real life truthfully, unless Griffin actually seeks some help for his PTSD but for a romance in worked for me in the moment. I'm looking forward to others in the series and to get a glimpse at some of these characters again.
review 2: I loved this book. Great characters, great family (once again), and laugh out loud funny in places. Griffin as a character might be one of my favorites, ever. It was, hmmm, nice isn't exactly the word yet it's the only one that comes to mind, to see a semblance of a reaction to liv... moreing through war and then having to somehow come back to the life you had before. Though I don't always (often) love books about book people (often a little too insider-joke for my taste), Ridgway handled this one perfectly, including the way both Jane and Griffin dealt with happy-ever-after-type endings. The only thing that kept this from being a straight 5-star rating for me was the Tess/David story. Although I did get where David was coming from (and really loved the two of them together), it just didn't work as a counterbalance to the Griffin/Jane story. David's backstory might have been weighty enough for me in another book, but when compared to Griffin, it just dragged things down for me. less
