Travis

A Pelion Lake Novel

By: Mia Sheridan

Narrated by: Elizabeth Louise, Jason Carpenter

Travis Hale has it all. An important role as the chief of police in the idyllic town of Pelion, Maine. Looks that regularly and consistently make women fall at his feet. Two nephews and a niece he adores, and a family who’s mostly forgiven him after a series of unfortunate decisions years before. Perhaps his past is riddled with regrets and misguided choices, but his future looks bright and limitless.

Until the new guy in town crosses him in a way both shocking and indefensible.

A guy who, as it turns out, has a sister who may be equally as disastrous to Travis’s well-ordered plans, though in an altogether different manner. Not that there’s any real risk of him falling for the smoothie-making, birdseed-eating wild woman. She’s not even his type. A plant lady from California with a head of unruly curls and an equally messy past. More than that, she’s only in town for the summer, busy mooning over perfect-in-every-way Gage Buchanan.

And if Travis knows anything, it’s that he refuses to be second best. Ever again.

Haven Torres’ life fell apart. Or more to the point, it burned to the ground. At the time, it seemed like a solid idea to jump in her car, her brother a mostly-willing co-pilot, and embark on a cross-country adventure.

When they land jobs at an exclusive tennis and golf club in a picturesque lake town in Maine, Haven’s hopeful it might prove a summer to remember. Especially if she can catch the attention of the most eligible bachelor in town and her current crush. Even the kindest, most upstanding, perfect of men aren’t opposed to summer flings, right?

But when she meets the local police chief - all swagger and arrogance - and learns of her brother’s scandalous misdeed, she knows that Pelion is just another town where their stay is best...short-lived. Still, she and Travis strike up an unlikely friendship and Haven sees that the gorgeous lawman isn’t only easy on the eyes, but he has...layers. Not that she’s going to peel any of them. He’s only her friend. A friend willing to scratch her back, if she scratches his.

It seems simple enough. She’ll help him make her brother sweat a little. And he’ll help her win over Gage. But before either Travis or Haven knows it, simple turns complicated, friendship gets flipped on its ear, passion faces down perfection, and they both discover that sometimes you have to lose it all to find exactly what you need.

It was okay.

A typical love story. Slow and boring at times. Not a lot going on until the end. But I had to see if he got the girl.

Not my fav

Love a redemption arc but it just didn’t swallow my heart the way archers voice did. Plus the male narrator just didn’t hit the spot. It also bothered me that the name of the town was pronounced differently than the original book.

Mia Sheridan is the best

everything she writes is memorizing. I only wish it was longer. will always read whatever she comes out with

The beginning

was crazy! It's a real good story but the male narrator didn't seem to fit the character. He did great just not for that type of story.

Good, not great!

I've read all of Mia Sheridans books and pretty much love all of them. this wasn't my favorite but still a really good read. Was hoping for more depth from the characters. But loved the fact that the female lead had men after her and not the male lead for once. I'm tired of romances where the male lead is so incredibly hot and all the women in the world want him and blah blah. Can the woman be wanted for once? Appreciated that here.

Great Read!

I really enjoyed this as a stand alone, but even more because
It was more of the story from Archer’s Voice. Hoping there may be more to come in the Pelion Lake Series!

Would have been a 5 star…

I love this story of redemption. It would have been a 5 star for me if the male narrator didn’t sound like
Mr. Rogers.

Normally Mia’s a 5 star (easily) for me.

I liked this book until then end. It seemed a little campy. Maybe it was the narration? Won't let it stop me for reading the next Sheridan book as I have loved so many of her others.

Not reminiscent of Mia Sheridan characters

I made it to chapter 5 and decided to return it. The narrators didn't fit the main characters and the main characters remain in the shadows of Bree and Archer, who were two intense, thought-provoking, relatable characters from her book "Archer's Voice." Perhaps the narrators could have brought the characters to life (which seems to happen in almost all Mia Sheridan's books), but they fell flat and didn't suit their respective characters.

Travis’s Redemption! Yay!

This was such a cute book! Like the others before me have reviewed, meeting Travis in Archer’s Voice, you’re hesitant about him. But Travis gets his redemption in this book and all his backstory needed to really understand him. I loved how much he has grown in the gap between this book and A.V.

However, was I very confused cause I couldn’t remember A.V. details? Yes. And I really wish we got the “book recap” before like 60% 😂

I really liked Haven’s character. I loved how both of these characters were so adorable together, and the banter had me laughing. But I also loved how complex they both were, and how they grew so well together!

Super excited to read to the next book for Gage!
