My review of Evers & Afters by J.H. Croix

 Elias Lowe was never good at sitting still and when he breaks his leg in a plane crash he hates that everyone is having to wait on him and he has to rely on others to get around. The broody pilot was a member of the Air Force but has now settled in Alaska as a pilot with his best friends. In the last after an accident Elias found himself with an addiction and he tears himself up over it.

  Cammi Taylor owns Red Truck Coffee and has just gotten out of a disastrous relationship where she was lied to and made a fool of. Yet although she is leery of another relationship there is something about Elias that makes her think that maybe love can be found. Can Elias deny his attraction for Cammi after the two kiss when he believes that he can only be bad for her? This was such a good book and I am seriously loving this series so far and can't wait for more!! Elias is a great character but one who has severe issues over not letting go of the past and an issue that he had. He hasn't forgiven himself for his past mistakes and believes that he is bad news. He is very dedicated to his friends and loves his job but is definitely missing something in his life but he doesn't want to bring anyone down. I loved Cammi and I hated what was done to her by her ex and I could see why she didn't trust her own judgement. Unfortunately bad luck seemed to follow her and I felt bad for her. Yet I loved how popular her coffee truck was and how so many people believed in her and wanted her to succeed. There was so much chemistry between Elias and Cammi that had been growing for quite some time but both were hesitant due their respective pasts. I loved how fate kept bringing the two of them together unexpectedly and Elias always seemed to be there when Cammi needed a hero. There were definitely a few obstacles in the way of Cammi and Elias but I liked how they began to work through certain things. I also really liked how Cammi was able to have a really good conversation with a certain character that allowed her to forgive herself for her past mistakes. I understood when Cammi began to question everything as she wanted certain things in life and was really unsure if she was going to be able to get them with Elias. I loved how Elias knew what he had to do and actually proved himself! The end was awesome and I wasn't expecting certain things but I thought it was great!!
