Best Laid Plans

The Garnet Run series, Book 2

by Roan Parrish

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


The sudden death of Charlies parents when he was eighteen and raising his younger brother, has molded him into the caregiver that he now is… only he is alone now , with only his cat Jane and his routine for company.


When a surprise inheritance brings lone wolf, Rye to Garnet Run in search of a home he has never had, his surreptitious meeting of Charlie at his hardware store sets them on  path that neither of them expected and both of them always dreamed of: a  home and family.


I am a sucker for a good odd couple pairing, and prickly Rye and cuddly Charlie make a a delightful match as they get to know one another. Soon they find that they not only have a spark between them, but are each in possession of what the other wants and needs to finds their own happiness.


I especially enjoyed the softening of Rye as he takes it slow, respecting Charlies’s boundaries and uncertainties as they explore their connection. Charlie was such a sweetheart and I was overjoyed for him to find someone that he could take care of and take care of him!


And I can’t forget the CATS! I’m not even much of a cat lover, but the cats in this book, both Rye’s and Charlies are like secondary characters and I loved the comfort and fun they added to the story.


As always, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! A cute read that I could not put down and totally recommend!


Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish was released release  February 23rd, 2021.

Book Description


A man who’s been moving his whole life finally finds a reason to stay put.

Charlie Matheson has spent his life taking care of things. When his parents died two days before his eighteenth birthday, he took care of his younger brother, even though that meant putting his own dreams on hold. He took care of his father’s hardware store, building it into something known several towns over. He took care of the cat he found in the woods…so now he has a cat.

When a stranger with epic tattoos and a glare to match starts coming into Matheson’s Hardware, buying things seemingly at random and lugging them off in a car so beat-up Charlie feels bad for it, his instinct is to help. When the man comes in for the fifth time in a week, Charlie can’t resist intervening.

Rye Janssen has spent his life breaking things. Promises. His parents’ hearts. Leases. He isn’t used to people wanting to put things back together—not the crumbling house he just inherited, not his future and certainly not him. But the longer he stays in Garnet Run, the more he can see himself belonging there. And the more time he spends with Charlie, the more he can see himself falling asleep in Charlie’s arms…and waking up in them.

Is this what it feels like to have a home—and someone to share it with? 


Carina Adores is home to highly romantic contemporary love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.
