When his parents died two days before his eighteenth birthday, he took care of his younger brother, even though that meant putting his own dreams on hold. He took care of his father\u2019s hardware store, building it into something known several towns over. He took care of the cat he found in the woods\u2026so now he has a cat.<\/p>\n<p>When a stranger with epic tattoos and a glare to match starts coming into Matheson\u2019s Hardware, buying things seemingly at random and lugging them off in a car so beat-up Charlie feels bad for it, his instinct is to help. When the man comes in for the fifth time in a week, Charlie can\u2019t resist intervening.<\/p>\n<p>Rye Janssen has spent his life breaking things. Promises. His parents\u2019 hearts. Leases. He isn\u2019t used to people wanting to put things back together\u2014not the crumbling house he just inherited, not his future and certainly not him. But the longer he stays in Garnet Run, the more he can see himself belonging there. And the more time he spends with Charlie, the more he can see himself falling asleep in Charlie\u2019s arms\u2026and waking up in them.<\/p>\n<p>Is this what it feels like to have a home\u2014and someone to share it with?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Best-Laid-Plans-Garnet-Book-ebook\/dp\/B08GZD7Y4R\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/best-laid-plans\/id1529725794?mt=11&id=1529725794&ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/apple.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Apple\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/our-level-best-roan-parrish\/1137562841?ean=9780369702883\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/bn.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Barnes & Noble\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/best-laid-plans-80\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/kobo.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Kobo\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/55161818-best-laid-plans\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/4stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0003_4-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"4 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/contemporary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"140\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0007_contemporary.png?fit=140%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"contemporary icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/m-m\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"102\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/categories_0000s_0005_m_m.png?fit=80%2C102&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"categories_m_m\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/romance\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"82\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0017_romance.png?fit=82%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"romance icon\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-02-18T22:40:30+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nContent warnings: \\r\\n\\r\\nI was intensely curious about Jack's brother Charlie after reading Better Than People, so I was very pleased to see that this book would be about him.

Alas, the animal content of this book isn&#8217;t quite as high as the previous one in the series &#8211; only two cats. But gosh, Jane and Marmot are pretty amazing cats.<\/p>\n<p>When Rye inherits a house from a grandfather he never met, it seems too good to be true. But given he&#8217;s been couchsurfing in Seattle, he makes the trek to Garnet Run and discovers that, yup, the house is a rundown mess. With no other options, he sets out to fix up the place, even though he has no experience with home repair. Luckily the super hot guy that runs the hardware store keeps offering to help&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis looks like quite the job. Do you have people helping you? Experience in demo and construction? Because if you want\u2014\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEither you\u2019ve got a mad hero complex or you\u2019re bossy as hell, man,\u201d Rye said.<br \/>\nCharlie drew himself up to his full height, which wasn\u2019t insignificant.<br \/>\n\u201cWho says it isn\u2019t both?\u201d he said.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Charlie&#8217;s got a bit of a savior complex. Part of it is that shortly before he turned eighteen, his parents died, and he had to raise his teen brother Jack on his own, as well as take over the family hardware store. He&#8217;s been so focused on doing everything possible to make his brother happy that he&#8217;s not so good at taking care of his own needs. He&#8217;s a caretaker by nature, and Rye is definitely someone who initially seems to need a lot of care-taking &#8211; and also someone who&#8217;s hardwired to not accept it. Rye&#8217;s had a rough time and he can&#8217;t quite understand just why Charlie insists on helping him, or letting him and his cat stay at his place. But as both men being to let their walls fall down, they figure out that they have a lot more in common than they&#8217;d suspected.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie and Rye are so cute together. Charlie&#8217;s a big stern handy dude while Rye&#8217;s a prickly lean guy who pretty much exclusively wears black band t-shirts. Charlie is so used to taking care of everyone else that he&#8217;s not sure what to do when someone asks him what he wants, or tries to take care of him. Rye understands Charlie&#8217;s need for independence, but at the same time sees how isolating it is. Rye&#8217;s used to taking care of himself, too, but he also comes to realize that getting help for others &#8211; and then returning that help &#8211; is OK. The bleak moment fit really well into their relationship, and I loved how that was taken care of as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRye\u2019s kiss had stirred his memories and his desire. But it was what Rye <em>said<\/em> that stoked it. Rye wasn\u2019t sorry he\u2019d kissed Charlie. He\u2019d wanted to do it. And so he had.<br \/>\nWhat might it be like to simply desire something, and then let himself have it?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the second book where one of the main characters is a virgin. The opportunity &#8211; and desire &#8211; to have a relationship has been pretty much nil for Charlie, and he has a lot of things to work through in regards to his sexuality. What I especially loved, though, was that it showed all of the discussions between Rye and Charlie to figure out what they were both comfortable with. Consent done well is total catnip for me, and this is definitely that.<\/p>\n<p>Given that they&#8217;re brothers, of course there&#8217;s several cameos with the main couple from the previous book. Most importantly to me, there&#8217;s some reconciliation between Jack and Charlie in terms of what Charlie gave up to take care of him. It was sweet and fit in very well with the overall storyline. There&#8217;s also little Easter eggs for the Riven series!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;ve very much enjoyed the Garnet Run series so far. While I wouldn&#8217;t say this one was as fluffy as the first, it&#8217;s still very enjoyable, and I&#8217;ll definitely be picking up the next in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content warnings: I was intensely curious about Jack&#8217;s brother Charlie after reading Better Than People, so I was very pleased to see that this book would be about him.
