Reformed

Responsible Adult, Book 3

De: C F White

Narrado por: Piers Ryman

Someone has to be responsible.

Micky O’Neill and Dan Peters now live in Wales, bringing up Micky’s disabled little brother away from small-minded Heathwood and close to Micky’s deceased mother’s family.

Things are fine...until Dan begins his dream career as an English teacher at the local school and Micky, main caregiver to Flynn, is isolated in a village that only serves to remind him of his mother’s absence.

With Flynn’s health deteriorating and his needs becoming more complex, everything is tested to its limits, and Dan seeks solace in a friendship with a fellow teacher, sending Micky into further turmoil.

After an accusation is leveled against Micky and it seems he’s slipping back into his old ways, he and Dan are torn. To repair the rift, both have to accept responsibility - for life.

A fitting finale

I sometimes wonder how an author can make three full novels about the same couple. With Dan and Micky, I’m not surprised. These two have a bunch of serious stuff going on.

This book finds them living in Wales. Micky’s never lived there, but the lure of being close to his mother’s family holds great appeal. As does getting as far away from his previous life as he can. Especially his deadbeat father. But, in this idyllic and isolated town in Wales, he’s living precariously. Because he’s with Dan, his caregiver funding is about to be revoked. He has no job, no career trajectory, and no real sense of the future. He cares for his brother and adores Dan, but it’s not enough.

Dan is living his dream. He’s working as a teacher, he has the man he loves by his side, and he has Flynn, whom he’s coming to see as his own. When things go sideways, though, he doesn’t know where to turn. His support system is back home and he’s struggling to keep his relationship with Micky going. Add in Flynn’s medical issues and it’s almost too much. I knew the men would stay together in the end, but it was a near thing.

But, it’s a C.F. White romance and she always delivers on the romance. My men got their happily ever after and a cute epilogue to boot. I highly recommend this series. Finally, quick nod to Piers Ryman who did a fantastic job narrating the books. Well done.

Much needed closure!

This series has been so real and relatable.

The author delivers a solid conclusion to this series which neatly ties up all loose ends and gives us much needed closure.

I will admit that this series has been gritty and is depicts adulting at its very close core.

The narrator was great and delivers an emotional and heartfelt audio delivery and narration.

Definitely recommend this entire series.

All the pieces fall into place

Great conclusion to the series.
another outstanding job of writing by CF White.
Dan and Micky get their relationship together and make a home for the sickly brother Flynn. the narration is so good.
Piers Ryman really brought this story to life and gives feeling to each character. So Good!!!
well worth the credit and your time to listen. the Entire series is Golden.

Great story. Great narration.

I enjoyed the first book. I really enjoyed the second book. This book was almost impossible to put down. Micky and Dan feel like real people dealing with real world problems. Sometimes, I want to cheer them on, sometimes I want to give them a smack upside the head, and most of the time I want to give them a hug and a hot cocoa. Sigh.

This was a read/listen full of tears and emotional tension. The twists and turns keep the reader anticipating the next chapter with a bit of trepidation and a dash of hope. Like the last book, not everything works perfectly, but both Micky and Dan can find strength in each other. The character development is a joy to experience. The descriptions of the settings are so vivid, I am constantly reminded of my small town rural upbringing. The conflicts in this story drive home the reality that we can rarely escape our past , but we can learn from it.

Once again Piers Ryman has done a wonderful job of voicing a broad range of characters with a masterful performance.

I was satisfied with the resolution of this story, but the greedy book lover in me desperately wants more of these characters even if Dan and Micky are just side characters in a new series.

Enjoyable Series

Reformed is Book 3 in the Responsible Adult series. This book continues Micky, Dan, and Flynn's story one year after their move to Wales. Micky and Dan's relationship is a bumpy one and goes through a lot of growth, but in the end they get their happy ending. I still love them together, and the way they care for Flynn, who is such a fighter and delight. I loved the end and was hoping they weren't going to be alone on their special day. I really enjoyed this book and series, and definitely recommend it. 
Narrator Piers Ryman does another fabulous job in the series. He has been wonderful to listen to and really has a way of bringing these characters to life, just perfect.
