What to Read Next: Preservation by Kate Canterbary
Anyone who knows me even a little knows that I am a huge – and I mean huge – fan of Kate Canterbary and her Walsh series. I love the Boston settings, lovingly laid out for those of us who have lived there and those who only wish we had. I love the wonderfully complex and flawed characters, the way the family interacts showing their love through insults and how the couples converse with rapier wit. And I love the detailed attention the author gives to architecture, and in the case of Preservation, gastrointestinal surgery.
Riley and Alex, our couple in Preservation never disappoint. Their chemistry will keep you up, unable to stop turning pages for two reasons. First, you don’t want to walk away from them or their story, and second, you’ll be too hot and bothered to sleep! Kate Canterbary knows how to turn up the heat. From page one until the final chapter the sex is steamy, raw and compelling.
The secondary characters have depth. You know they will appear in other books. You’re actually looking forward to it. Nothing feels like a throwaway. And the writing is superb, full of emotion, vivid descriptions and voices so distinct you can hear them.
“My off-kilter view landed on her red flip flops first. Her legs came next, and what a pair they were.
So this is Gastro Girl.
She was all strength and sinew, and thick thighs that looked prime for biting. Ah, I loved thick thighs. I didn’t know what it was men – or women – found attractive about skinny bird legs. I liked something to hold onto. Skin to squeeze.
“Trust me, Alex. I know it,” Nick murmured. “But this guy’s family and my wife would pummel him with rocks if he tried.”
“True story,” I replied, angling for an above-the-waist look at Nick’s guest. Her red shorts were loose enough to allow a hand under them, and now I was thinking about panties. Mmmm, panties. Fuckin’ loved panties. “Greetings. Riley Walsh,” I extended my hand in her general direction, though given my angle, it looked like I was trying to grab her crotch. She took a gigantic step back, and I didn’t blame her. “My bad, my bad.”
The series consists of seven novels. Preservation is the last of these. Take my advice, although you can skip around, don’t. You will love them all.
