Hope Between Us by A.M. Kusi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love this series so much! Each book can be read as a standalone and this book completes the series.
Aaron runs a center that helps LGBTQ+ youth. It's his way of channeling the grief of losing his trans brother. So it's no surprise to Aaron when shy David tells him that he's actually Danielle. Or that she asks for help in telling her mother Brynn.
Brynn is a mystery. She mostly keeps to herself and even though she's made a few friends, no one knows what made Brynn and her child flee their previous life. When her teen comes out as transgender she takes it in stride but what does take her aback is Aaron's offer of marriage in order to help her child.
Aaron is generous with his new wife and vows to show her that she is worthy of whatever he offers. But Brynn struggles as memories of the past creep in, undoing some of the progress she and Aaron gain. And it scares her that her husband stirs feelings within her that she's never had before.
Thanks so much to the authors and Wildfire for this ARC to review.
