Narrado por: Quinn Riley

One accident. One nurse. One choice.

For years Bridget has hidden who she is from her small hometown. A democratic lesbian wouldn't very easily be elected Sheriff in the Bible Belt, and she doesn't want to give up her dream of working in law enforcement.

When a freak accident with a combine throws her life into chaos and nearly kills her, she must learn to rely on friends and family she wasn't sure she still had. With a desperate call to Eli, Bridget comes home, to a new world, a new life, and a new love. She is ready to come out and face the consequences.

Perfect ending to this series.

OH! It's that Bridget! That's pretty much what I said at the end of chapter 1. I have really enjoyed this Indigo Series. To truly this book, I recommend reading Indigo: Blues before or after this book. Indigo: Three is also a great book to read before or after this. I'm prepared to reread this whole series. It's sometimes hard to get past how the attraction grows and rushes throughout the book. However, I love how the author builds a main character like Jherica to see just the person behind Bridget's current challenges. It's fun and hot to watch. For me, the coming up story worked me up a bit. The author just did an amazing job of building a strong story around it. The teasing and history between Bridget and Eli's life and family really compliments and makes the book as well.

Lovely ending to the series

Oh thank goodness Bridget gets a book. I had mixed feelings about her in book one but with time and insight into her head, she really redeemed herself and became such a delightful character.

Quick Thoughts:
- One of the big issues that is done wonderfully is the prejudices of Bridget’s family. The best part about this is that it’s not all rainbows and sunshine in the end with them
- This is basically an instant-love story that is so well done that I didn’t even realize it until I started writing my review
- We only get a few chapters from Jerica’s POV, around 90% of the book is from Bridget’s POV which is needed since she was the antagonist in book one
- Loved watching Eli and Bridget reconnect. Seeing that was as wonderful as watching Jerica and Bridget fall in love
- No third act break up!
- I really enjoyed coming into the story at the point that Bridget is fed up with hiding herself so we get the coming out angst but very little of the hiding herself angst
- Something that is usually glossed over in most Small Town setting books is the casual racism of some of the people in the town. It is noted here but it isn’t really shown much. I would have liked a little deeper dive into that but it wouldn’t fit the the lighter narrative of this book
- Quinn Riley is just fantastic. I’m so glad I have a bunch more books of hers to listen to

Overall I loved this book. Such a sweet ending to an emotional roller coaster of a series. So many great characters and connections, all narrated by the amazing Quinn Riley. This series really shows the growth of Adrian J. Smith as a writer and it previews the other great books I have to look forward to this year as I work through her catalog.

Coming Out Can Be Hard

After Eli, Bridget didn't date. She was so afraid of losing her overly religious parents and her job if anyone knew she was a lesbian.

Then comes along Jerica, the nurse that helped save her life after an almost fatal accident.

It was nice that at Eli was back, and Ann and Sarah made appearances.
Read the series in order to know the characters and how Bridget and Eli ended, how Sarah and Eli begin, and how other characters come into play.

These books improve everytime

this was the 6th book I think and it was excellent, the change that Brigit goes through, the introducing of a new member to the series. I wander if there is another one on the way. Narration is wonderful

Beautiful series

I loved all the books they really touch a special place in my small town girls heart. The way it's still a reality of the lack of diversity in small towns all over America and other countries in this century is so very true and unfortunate but I hope as time goes on the people's minds grow as well
