The Changed Man (The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 4) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Changed Man by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to being back with the O’Connell’s in Port Townsend and I was not disappointed. This is Jake O’Connell’s story as he causes a stir in Port Townsend having returned for his brother David’s wedding. Jake has made some dramatic changes in his life including leaving behind his enviable life as CEO of the family business in North Bend. He is now living in a rented Victorian mansion and has started a new career writing thrillers, which his friends within his old social circle disapprove off. Jake’s twin is the country heartthrob Joe Bob Blade who he has a complicated relationship with. He is also holding a grudge against his brothers who left him to be CEO of the family business whilst they followed their own dreams. Jake, who is still grieving for his friend, finds a muse in Chiara who he has an instant connection with but who is also married. This is an enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which had be hooked from start to finish. Once again the setting of Port Townsend came to life through the descriptive narrative making me feel immersed in the story. The wonderful characters both old and new all added to the story, and I love ‘catching up’ with characters from the previous books. The heartwarming storyline focusing on Jake and Chiara took me on an emotional rollercoaster and kept me happily turning the pages.
