Publisher's summary

Reunions can be murder.

A dial tone instead of a human voice announced Lucky’s ousting from the Lucklighter clan over 12 years ago. After living a life of crime. After testifying against his drug lord lover. After receiving a 10-year sentence. Ah, hell. Lucky would’ve disowned himself too.

Now life’s better. He’s done his time and earned a place in the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau’s Department of Diversion Prevention and Control. He has a house. He has Bo, his partner both on and off the job. And pets. But not his folks. The worst part? He’s not sure exactly why they disowned him. Too late now - they think he’s dead.

Now his father needs a gift only Lucky can give. And Lucky’s family has something that may destroy all he believes: The truth.

Great story. Great narration.

The plot thickens! Lucky deals with more of his past.

Still enjoying how the narrator animates Lucky and Bo's characters.

This series keeps getting better and better

Can anyone ever hurt us as badly or as deeply as family?

Lucky hasn’t seen or heard from (most) his family for over a decade. And he never knew why they cut off all contact so suddenly and definitively. Now the time has come for him to go home. To find answers and maybe even seek forgiveness.

Bo and Lucky… do they ever catch a break to just be? To, once and for all, truly settle into their relationship. We’ve followed them for a long time now and rarely there’s a moments peace to be had. The same holds true for this book. It gives the illusion to be on the slower and gentler side of life, but peace never lasts. And the harsh light of truth can be devastating.

It’s wonderful to see how Lucky has grown during the series. When we first met him he was a true loner, disliking everything and everyone. Meeting and falling for Bo has him re-entering the world again, making friends and truly starting to live life, not just existing. It has been truly beautiful to watch. I love watching the people surrounding Bo and Lucky grow ever so slowly, more added to the trusted few – with Lucky kicking and screaming at the of course – he hasn’t gotten a personality change, only some softer edges.

I think I read somewhere that Ms. Winters waited to produce this series into audiobooks until she found the right narrator. I have to agree with her. Darcy Stark is perfect for this series. He captures both Lucky and Bo just right. He gets them, their drives and motivations and the essence of them both and it shows in his narration, his performance of them. And it’s not only the two main characters, but the rest of the cast as well, from kickass take no-nonsense Loretta, to Walter and Charlotte – heck even Lucky’s dad. Each character is distinct and clear and fits perfectly with their personality. I can’t ask for more than that.

Reunion provided a lot of answers to things we’ve been wondering about – alongside Lucky and Bo. Both good and bad, some even life changing. There are a few more loose ends to tie up so the adventures for them aren’t over just yet. And with Lucky in the mix, I don’t think there will be a quiet day to be had for the rest of their lives.

Until next time.

Love it

I love this series so much and book 6 has been my favorite for a long time. It’s so well written and Darcy Stark brings the characters to life even better than I imagined them in my head.

I wish I had more and better words to describe how much I love this book and this series. I highly recommend it, and I can’t wait for the next one to be out on audio!

Good
