Finding Comfort: when you find the love you don't think you deserve

Finding Comfort is the first book in The Last Shot Tavern series by Amber Warden. Celia is done with romance after returning to her hometown, the last place she wants to be, only to be broken and betrayed. She agrees to stay with one of her cousin Malcolm’s best friend’s condo while she gets back on her feet. Trenton is understanding, kind and is certainly not interested in a relationship other than friendship. He has already loved and lost and is determined to keep a promise to his late wife. However, once Trenton sees that despite Celia’s strong demeanor, she is deeply hurting, which brings out his protective side. After a run-in with Celia’s ex, Trenton can’t resist showing Celia how special she is; however, it ignites a fire that neither of them can ignore. Will they take the chance on love or will they allow their pasts keep them from it? 

Amber Warden is a new author to me and Finding Comfort is my first book by her. Ms Warden includes warning notes about the content of the story, situations that some readers may not want to read about. I was intrigued as painful pasts are a part of life. The story started off slow and I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue. However, I kept reading and I am so glad that I did. Celia and Trenton’s story was filled with angsty pasts, hard hitting emotions and hard life lessons. I cried as I read Celia’s past wounds and I cried as Trenton truly came to terms as what his promise to his late wife really means. I wasn’t even finished with the book before I added the rest of the series to my wish list. I can’t wait to read the stories of the other characters. I highly, highly recommend Finding Comfort. 

Finding Comfort is available in paperback and eBook
