Just Come Over by Rosalind James ~ New Release and Review

Rhys Fletcher is not in love with his sister-in-law. That would be a very, very bad idea, and he doesn’t entertain bad ideas. He also doesn’t lie to himself.

Both of those things can’t be true, so he’ll do what he’s done since the long-ago night when his brother, Dylan, turned up in an Auckland bar after a brutal rugby match between their two teams, and introduced his new girlfriend—a dark-eyed, impossibly short, much-too-young girl named Zora. 

He’ll lie.

Now, his brother’s gone, and Rhys is back in New Zealand and settling into his new job as the head coach of the Auckland Blues. Surely, being there for Dylan’s widow and their son is the right thing to do. Until he gets a call from his lawyer, and flies to the States to find that handsome, charming, endlessly irresponsible Dylan has left yet another loose end for his big brother to sort out.

 This one is six years old. And her birth certificate says she belongs to Rhys.

With most authors, I’d be concerned going into the 12th book of a series. I’d be worried that the story would be more of the same or the cast too large and complicated to follow. With Ms James and Just Come Over, I was excited to revisit New Zealand and the rugby playing leading men and the women who love them. Each installment of the Escape New Zealand series is a fresh take on relationships, love, and facing challenges to find a happily ever after.

Rhys and Zora have more challenges than most and watching them face those challenges was enlightening and made me like them more and more as the story went forward. Ms James has a unique style that continues to pull me in, even after what has to be close to 20 books. The core cast is small and well developed. The story line between Rhys and Zora was entertaining with a little more angst than her normal, but it’s the type of story that you could easily see happening to real people.

With themes of trust, loyalty, family, and second chances Just Come Over is a jewel in the Escape to New Zealand series. A complete stand alone work, loyal series followers will be thrilled to see glimpses of previous featured characters as well.
