4.5 StarsI really love authors who consistently surprise me with their work; they are able to write very different types of story while sticking within the contemporary genre. Their books aren’t cookie cutter and they always give you an excellent product. Tamara Morgan is one of those authors, with each book she takes new risks and covers new territory and in her latest, In the Clear, she begins a new series that’s bound to be entertaining if the characters in this first book are any indication.Fletcher Owens is a cautious guy; after the death of his father he just found it hard to take risks. But for the last several years he’s been keeping a secret from his family and friends but now exposed he’s having to answer questions he never intended to answer and deal with his best friend’s sister who won’t let it go. Trouble is he wants to grab hold of her and never let her go but it’s a risk he’s not sure he can take.Lexie Sinclair has wanted to be more than a friend to Fletcher for years but she knows he sees her as the quirky sister of his best friend. When his secret is exposed she plans to show him that there’s more to her than the screw up everyone thinks she is. She just doesn’t know if she’s willing to put herself out there if he doesn’t feel the same way.I adore these two and even more when they are together. The fact that they both seem more in each other than they see in themselves makes this story all the more sweet. When they do finally confront their feelings it is reckless, steam, wet, and damn hot!This is one of those books where the story is more about self discovery and confronting feelings that have been simmering for years. There is no big blow up just a small confrontation that leads to the both getting more than they ever expected. I really loved these characters, their journey, and the fact that they were able to communicate and work through their issues together. In The Clear is another remarkable love story and a fantastic start to a new series, I can’t wait to see what Tamara has in store for us next!Review copy provided for an honest review.
