Shifting Gears

Brett and Kelly had been hooking up when she was in town visiting her best friend Charly. He wanted more, but she kept leaving to go traveling for her work as a photographer. Brett decides enough is enough, if she doesn’t want anything more, then they are done, but when Kelly comes back to town not looking great and tells Charly she quit her job he is worried about her. While she is staying with Charly they can’t really avoid each other and their attraction to each other is as strong as ever. Brett is sweet, thoughtful, loving and protective. Kelly is lonely and scared and doesn’t really know what love is. Brett finally breaks through her tough shell to show her what love can be and that it doesn’t mean you need to lose yourself in the other person. I loved the characters from the previous books reappearing and we got another love story thrown in (I won’t say who, don’t want to spoil the surprise). I liked the ending and how they compromised for each other. This book was hot from the very start and a thoroughly enjoyable read

Ms. Moreland certainly knows how to get us all wrapped up in a group of friends and found family, doesn’t she?! I’ve always held the Vested Interest series in high regard and believe me, I still do, but I never thought another series could come close to the love I have for the Vested Interest boys and their families. Well, I was wrong and she’s doing just that with the Reynold’s Restoration Series. She just has a way of pulling me into their lives and the more I read, the more I want and she absolutely delivers. Shifting Gears is Book #3 in the Reynold’s Restoration series and it’s Brett and Kelly’s story, which story we got a glimpse of in Maxx and Stefano’s books, but just a glimpse. Their relationship is kind of an opposites attract in that Kelly is a free spirit photographer and Brett is a homebody who loves with his whole heart and soul, but it’s more than that. The defining factor in Ms. Moreland’s books is always her ability to let the reader experience all the emotions that friendship, family, devotion, heartbreak, misunderstandings and love can bring. I always feel like I’ve known these characters all my life when I’ve finished reading one of her books and this one is no different. It was hard saying goodbye but I know there’s another one coming and I can’t wait! I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to read an early copy of this book for my honest opinion.

Quiet Brett Conner has his chance for an HEA in Shifting Gears.

I loved this story. It is sweet, swoony, funny and packs an emotional punch.
Charly’s best friend Kelly Ryerson arrives back in Littleburn homeless, jobless, recovering from being sick and with a secret she doesn’t want to share.

“I was searching. But I had no idea what I was searching for until I almost lost it.”

Brett and Kelly have an off and on history of hot and heavy that always lasts until Kelly’s next big job pulls her away again. But Brett is tired of having his heart broken and doesn’t want to open himself up to that again.

“We all need a place, Kelly. Somewhere safe to call home. Someone to call our own.”

It was wonderful to revisit the families & found family of Reynold’s Restoration! Theo kept me laughing and Charly tried to steal the show of course.
-5 Stars-

This is a lovely reading. It’s super funny, sweet, romantic, and is in there a little bit of heartbreak too, but the love is huge! Reynolds Restoration is a big happy family and to my eternal happiness they keep growing. Brett is really the most perfect person for Kelly, he gives her a purpose ever when neither of them knows it. Their chemistry is definitely hot and beyond description. We meet them from previous books, in this serie and I knew their story will be perfect. Melanie don’t disappointed me here. Brett, Stefano, Maxx and Chase are definitely family to each other. The banter between Stefano and Brett because of Theo questions are amazingly funny! I laugh so hard while reading some chapters, specially the 14th. You’ll gonna love them more. And you’ll love Theo more in this book, is inevitable; with all the questions and comments hahaha he’s the best. Charly, Gabby and Kelly are the perfect group of friends. The HEA here is awesome!!! Can wait for Chase and Occifer Cinnamon’s (lol) story!!!
