Rainier Family #4
Moving On
Trevor:
My family gets the best of me. But sometimes they get on my nerves something awful. Always on my case about dating and finding someone to love, when they should know better than anyone else that I don't deserve any of that. Not anymore. Ever since I lost Gerry in the war, all of a sudden people think they can speak for him—but they're saying I should move on, forget him. That that's what he'd want. But they don't know how badly I betrayed him. How I left him when he needed me the most. It was Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and when he died, I took it to heart. When it comes to love, I'll never ask or tell again.
Trouble is, now Shane is in town and the way he makes me feel, it's hard to resist wanting to shout it from the rooftops. But I won't hurt another man the way I hurt Gerry—and when moving on is just another betrayal, the only way to do that is to not engage.
Shane:
When I left corporate life to do something more meaningful, the last thing I thought I would find is love. But along comes Trevor Rainier. He's not only gorgeous and fun, but he's deeply compelling—there's more there than meets the eye, and what meets the eye is, well, let's say, delicious. He's helping me build my retreat for veterans, but he's keeping me guessing... the guy is blowing hot and cold so much so that I end up practically chasing him around Umberland just to get some answers. But just when things finally seem to be going right, our hiking trip goes tragically wrong, and even through my pain I can see he's triggered. The situation's forcing us together, but he's keeping me at a distance. Can he ever move on from his past and see what's standing in front of him?
Moving On is the fourth book in the Rainier Family series and can be happily read on its own. 63k words of sizzling heat, making it back in time for dinner, getting over the past, and as always, a whole big, bustling, small-town family waiting for its HEA.

It's not often that I find a book so boring, playing games on my phone holds more appeal. I couldn't get into this story at all, but I did make it to level 285 in Word Cross.
The main issue is that the story lacks tension and cohesion. The first half consisted of Shane flirting with Trevor, while Trevor grunts and feels sorry for himself.
I have no idea what Shane saw in Trevor, who's a martyr and apparently not worthy of Shane's love. Both MCs are bland and one dimensional.
The second half was all manufactured drama. The dialogue was wooden and painfully awkward.
Even the HEA rang false since the romance was utterly uninspired.
I started skimming at 65 percent. This is my first and last read by this author.

Moving On is the emotionally-charged latest novel in the Rainier Family series, and in it we finally find out what is going on with Trevor. His past took me by surprise and broke my heart, and I can understand his refusal to get involved with anyone else.. even if I don't agree with it. I really liked Shane from the start though he definitely comes with his own baggage, but who doesn't, right? It is a good thing Shane is persistent, because there is no easy path for these men. Their journey is full of heartache and obstacles, but is the bond that forms between them enough for Trevor to ever move on from the past?
This story is about second chances and love, moving on and healing, and finding that someone who is strong enough to fight your demons and theirs together. It is sexy and sweet, heartbreaking and heartwarming, and full of family and friends we have come to know in Umberland. I am really enjoying this series and looking forward to whatever the author has in store for this family.

3.5 stars rounded up
Grief can be a sinkhole for some and for Trevor, this was never so apt. Until a city boy in the body of a lumberjack shows him a different future. Shane is immediately drawn to the reticent Trevor and his patience is going to play a central role to their romance. But if Trevor can't let go and move on, the romance won't even get off the ground.
The grocery store meet-cute was adorable in its halting awkwardness. From there the relationship's progression pretty much stopped. But they get quite a few chances to get things right and I actually liked how long it took them to take things to the next level. For Trevor to finally see beyond himself and his misplaced guilt it would have been disappointing as well as devastating if they had invested more than they already had. Instead of rushing into something that was intensely physical before he was even close to understanding what he may or may not be in for, there was a lot of awkward come-ons, obvious avoidance, and learning about one another that went a long way toward getting him on the right path that would lead to Shane.
I didn't think the cause of Trevor's guilt was really all that bad, at least not in comparison with things I was imagining when all the hints were so vague and went on for far too long. Understanding that guilt is sometimes irrational and accepting it are two different things. While I may feel that his actions were a long-time coming despite being poorly timed, someone in his situation, given the events that followed, might feel exactly as he did. What was frustrating about it was all the intimation of the action's severity over and over and over again as well as the bitter anger he reacted with when his family had the wrong idea about things. Perspective, I totally get it, is where my issue was since I'm merely an observer to the story. Other than that, I thought the story moved well, was well-written, and the characters were likable.

So my major issues with this book stem from my dislike of Trevor and the impact his character had on the plot.
Basically, the rest of it was fine. Nothing spectacular, but serviceable. Trevor on the other hand was whiny as fuck. Just holy self flagellation Batman. The amount of guilt, and moaning about how he isn't good enough was grating. I was annoyed before we even got out of chapter one. And he doesn't get much more tolerable. All because he broke up with a boyfriend by letter right before said boyfriend dies. And yeah, that sucks. But the amount of self-hate flying around in this book was indicative of some serious emotional issues that are never properly handled. And by properly handled I mean, like, with a therapist. But instead of that we get one drunken conversation with a bartender following a 'break-up' and all the sudden Trevor's issues evaporate and everything is okay because love conquers all, including severe emotional constipation. Which was dumb.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
I mean, just, what the hell man. Trevor needed a metric fuck ton of therapy to deal with his pathological need to feel guilty and prevent himself from feeling any modicum of happiness. Love ain't enough to fix the obvious root cause of Trevor's issues. Especially considering that, once it is revealed that the great big bad reason that he feels so terrible about "what he did to Gerry" before Gerry died, the reason why he doesn't feel like he deserves love at all, is because he broke up with Gerry in a letter while he was deployed I mean...like, that wasn't great of him. But it also didn't require the level of penance Trevor gives it. He has some serious issues that needed professional help that he never got.
So yeah, remove that and this book might have been 4 stars. But no. Trevor was annoying and as a result the plot was dumb and annoying too.

4.5/5 Stars
Moving On is book 4 of the Rainier Family series by Ashton Cade. I read the third book in this series (Burning Up), and I loved it and I was looking forward to reading Moving On. I was not disappointed with book, and I thought it was very enjoyable as well. I like how each book in this series can be considered as standalone novels because each book is about somebody different in the Rainier family.
The main characters in this book are Trevor and Shane. Trevor is the oldest child, construction work and owns his business, and he has a lot of guilt from his previous relationship. Shane is ready for a change and left the corporate world behind and moved to Umberland, Texas to do something different with his life. When Trevor and Shane meet, sparks fly, and chaos ensues. Trevor is shy, unsure, and full of guilt, but Shane is willing to be patient until he convinces Trevor to give him a chance.
I found this book easy to follow, fun and quick read, and I fell in love with the characters. I also really loved how Shane was patient with Trevor, and how he understood what Trevor was not saying. I liked the whole journey of Trevor and Shane falling in love. There were so many things that I liked about the whole story. I liked the romance, action, learning to accept oneself and other people, and forgiveness. I also really like the whole Rainier family. They are so funny and so supportive of each other. I was disappointed when I got to the end of the book, because I wanted to read more about Trevor and Shane.
I recommend this book and this series overall. If there are more books in this series, I will read the other books as soon as it comes out.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

It's tough to explain how much I love Ashton Cade's Rainier Family Series. I love every book, every couple, and the whole family. With Moving On, Ashton has once again gifted us with a fantastic story.
It all starts when Trevor and Shane meet at the grocery store. Their tale is one of the heavy burdens of guilt, and the inability to forgive one's self.
Trevor is drowning in shame, guilt and regret since losing his last boyfriend in the military. He's insecure, and feels both unworthy and undeserving of love. To make things even worse, no one knows about his ex.
Shane is stubborn and determined to help Trevor. He's new to town and is trying to develop a camp for veterans and their families. He's sweet, down to earth and an all around good guy.
The attraction is strong, and the chemistry is even stronger. The face health issues, as they fight their attraction. They also have to deal with reality as it keeps getting in their way.
Moving On is a beautiful story of releasing yourself from pain and guilt, allowing love and happiness into your life. I love this Ashton Cade book, which is a fantastic addition to the Rainer Family series. It's full of sweet moments, funny moments and some steamy moments too.

Loving this Rainier Family series, full of heartache, love and support.
This outing is for Trevor and new man in town, Shane. Trevor's past relationship has kept him from making a connection with anyone new for years but cannot help his attraction to Shane. Shane can see the pain behind Trevor's eyes and is determined to show him how worthy he is of love.
The two men have a clear connection and it's enjoyable reading the two grow closer even with the road blocks that Trevor keeps throwing up between them. The work that they are doing together is rewarding for them both and gives them a chance get to know one another. The care and support of the family and friends around them help to push them both in the right direction and keep spirits up when it may not all be going to plan.
Though Trevor's guilt was a deep and painful thing for him, it was good to read someone finally get through to him and show happiness and love as a possibility in his future.
Highly recommend this contemporary romance and the series.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

I absolutely loved this latest book in the Rainier Family series!!! Trevor and Shane both have demons from their past that they are trying to move past. Trevor feels that he is unworthy of love after his last relationship. Shane is newly divorced and is looking for a new start in Umberland. Shane is instantly attracted to Trevor when they first meet....Trevor is scared of the developing feelings that Shane brings out in him. They agree on a friends with benefits agreement. Shane knew that wasn't what he wanted with Trevor but he is hoping that things will change once they make that connection. Their journey wasn't easy there were bumps along the way and curveballs that no one saw coming. Can Trevor let go of his guilt from the past and let himself be happy and in love with Shane. I loved everything about their story and I would highly recommend this book and the series to everyone. I can't wait to see what is in store next for this amazing series....well done!!!

This is the fourth instalment of the Rainier Family series, it is a romance you can't put down and is a hurt/comfort themed story. We return to Umberland and it's welcomed Shane who wants to buy the camp from book one, he does so and repairs it to be help for veterans and their families. Trevor believes wrongly that he doesn't deserve forgiveness after how he ended things with his now deceased fiance . When Shane and Trevor meet the attraction between them is immediate but Trevor is resistant, so the question becomes will be realise what he will lose if he's not careful, before it's too late.
This is a really good addition to the series, this books continues with more great characters that are being introduced which means hopefully more stories from this wonderful series, highly recommend definitely worth it.

Another winning story. Trevor,who's story I had been excitedly waiting for, is riddled with guilt over the loss of a relationship years earlier and for how it ended. When Shane arrives into town to buy and refurbish the ranch for families of Veteran's that Trevor's brother's Grant's husband Ian owns, he turns his world upside down and inside out. Stubborn and rooted in his guilt Trevor does everything in his power not to fall for Shane, but stubborn also runs in Shane, and persistence to keep pursuing him. Passion takes over and draws these men together that ignites the pages but can that be enough to give them what they both want? Tension builds and the author takes us on a emotionally filled and heart breaking arc that turns everything around. Funny,sweet, sexy and full of excitement once again Ashton Cade delivers a Rainier story that nits it mark.

This is an interesting book for me as I enjoyed it but I didn't love it. The amount of angst Trevor feels about his past and how conflicted he is about his feelings for Shane is the focus of the story and he spends a lot of time in his own head. I really like Shane and his determination to help people but he allows Trevor to make decisions about their relationship that he doesn't agree with. I wish that the story was more about the camp Shane is opening and the people that will be attending it. I like the amazing chemistry between Shane and Trevor and the secondary characters are great as well. The ending is good and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Not all promises are forever
Trevor won't allow himself to hurt another guy like he feels like he did to the last guy he loved. When Shane enters his life he will do everything to keep them apart. Shane can't get Trevor off his mind. He doesn't know why Trevor keeps fighting their attraction, but he wants to know everything about him. When tragedy strikes and brings Trevor's fears into the open, the guys need to figure out if they can do anything to conquer the past too build a future together.
I have been enjoying this series and this is a wonderful addition to it. The story is written really well with complex and compelling characters.
I received an ARC of this book from LesCourt Author Services. This is my honest opinion and review.

Trevor Rainier is a builder in Umberland who can’t forgive himself for how he treated his military boyfriend who subsequently died. He’s been stuck in guilt for years and feels unloveable. Shane needs a builder to help create a retreat for military veterans and their families. He’s learnt lessons from his divorce and he’d like to take chance with Trevor. I enjoyed Shane’s gentle flirting and pursuit of Trevor, the canoe / camping trip was fun, and the hiking scenes were compelling. I found Trevor’s level of guilt for his actions way out of proportion, he really didn’t do much and it certainly wasn’t the worth self-sabotage, but that was the only flaw in this sweet story. Michael Dean / Pauley’s audio narration was strong, as always.

Loved this story!!
Trevor has always been a bit of a mystery. And now we get more of an insight into his past and why he thinks he doesn’t deserve someone special in his life!
But bring in a new man to town and his walls will soon crack!
It’s an instant connection between Shane and Trevor. But because of his past, Trevor tries to stop himself from his feelings.
Lucky for him (and us) Shane is persistent and soon the chemistry sizzles!
But can Trevor keep fighting his feelings? It just might cost him someone he is in love with...
A fantastic addition to the Rainer Family. A perfect blend of getting over the past, second chances and finding your HEA ❤️❤️❤️

Trevor has been cutting himself off from feelings and relationships since he lost his last boyfriend who was in the military. He has a lot of regret and guilt and none of his friends or family knows why.
Shane is new in town and are looking to buy a Camp that would help veterans and their families.
There's a mutual attraction between them from the start and a accident forces them to grow closer despite Trevor nog wanting anything serious.
I don't know what it was but I really didn't connect with this book or feel the connection between Trevor and Shane. A good book, not just for me.

Sweet, steamy, heartbreaking and soul healing journey to love. Learning to move forward is a underlying theme of this story. How to not let your past decide your future Trevor and Shane both have their issues to work through and i liked how they became really good friends.
These MC's will steam up your kindle and warm up your heart as they journey to love. i laughed and i cried as these MC's live and learn to love.
i have enjoyed the previous three books in the A Rainier Family series. This forth book can be read as a stand-alone.
I was gifted this book from the LesCourt Author Services and i freely give my honest opinion and review

Moving On is the 4th instalment in the Rainier Family series, but it can be read as a standalone, although I'd definitely suggest reading the others as there are cameo appearances by previous MCs.
We met Trevor in previous book, and I was always curious to read his story. Trevor's boyfriend died in the war, and he has since felt that he's not worthy of love.
Shane has recently moved to Umberland and has his sights set on Trevor. Shane is persistent and slowly we see Trevor's walls start to crumble.
Moving On is a well written slow-burn story of second chance at love.
If you like small town stories, this is the series for you.

Well Trevor wasn't what I was expecting but he still had a good story. It never even occurred to me that he might have had a relationship in his past that ended the way it did. Shane is pretty down to earth considering he worked in the world of finance, but I was left wondering how the military became so important to him in the first place. These 2 have nothing in common but at the same time seem to have so much in common.
I hope to see more of the camp in future books as it seems to be pretty important in all the books up until now.

This was another nice look into the Rainier family but I had a harder time with this one. I couldn’t help but feel that both characters were just whining to whine and it was much more angsty than the previous ones.
We see more of the meddling family but it doesn’t seem as much as the previous books. I felt Trevor was lying to himself a lot throughout the book on what he wanted and how quickly he seems to accept everything when he decides to go ahead made it clearer. I didn’t feel as if we got to know Shane as much and he was determined to see Trevor thru and work it out and then suddenly pushes him away. While the book was well written I just felt that the characters actions didn’t add up.

I didn’t feel as if we got to know Shane as much and he was determined to see Trevor thru and work it out and then suddenly pushes him away. While the book was well written I just felt that the characters actions didn’t add up.
I received an ARC of this book and am giving an honest review.

This was a great installment of the Rainier Family series. This time we get to see Trevor find happiness. He has been very unhappy for the past almost decade. He has a lot of guilt over a past relationship, and hasn't been able to move forward. In comes Shane who turns his world upside down. These guys come together slowly, but when they do, it is very solid. I loved watching Trevor come to terms with him being allowed to be happy and move on.

I really enjoyed being back in Umberland, where you get such a vivid sense of a small and friendly town where everyone knows you, and a stranger turning up sure turns heads. The stranger in this case being Shane; wanting to get away from it all and open up a retreat for veterans and their families. Little does he know what’s in store for him when he meets Trevor Rainier.
What follows is a beautiful tale of hurt/comfort that shows us that you at some point you have to forgive yourself and move on and that things aren’t always solely your fault. There’s a fair bit of heartache and soul-searching here, but we see two men who are ideal for each other, but one really can’t let go of the past and be kind to himself and see what’s right in front of him.
There’s drama here, and it takes the idea of losing someone to finally see the light and to realise what they’re beginning to mean to you and that you can actually give yourself a chance and just let go and learn to live and love again. Such a beautiful and heartwarming tale which I adored, and we get to meet some well-loved faces from the previous three books.

I really enjoyed this book, just like the other 3 in this series.
Trevor has kept himself closed off from relationships ever since his fiance is killed in action. Shane is new in town. The pair are obviously attracted to each other but Trevor is determined to keep Shane at arms length while Shane is equally determined to break down Trevor's walls.
Trevor is both infuriating and also very endearing as he continues to punish himself instead of letting himself take a chance on love again.

I give this book a 3.5 rating. Sometimes it takes the right person coming along to make you realize what you've been missing. Trevor has been feeling guilt for years after his fiance dies. He doesn't feel he needs to be happy. Then Shane comes along and challenges everything he thought was true. And after his divorce Shane's not ready to jump into another relationship. But there's something about Trevor. Sometimes you have to be open for the unexpected and roll with it.

Moving On by Ashton Cade is the fourth book in the Rsinier Family series. Trevor and Shane are wonderful characters that grabbed my attention and captured my heart. Their story had me from the start and kept me reading and needing a happily ever after. Funny moments, sweet moments and hot sexytimes, the book is highly satisfying. A great addition to a fantastic series.
I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

Love will triumph!💗
Great love story! Heartbreaking at some level, because is better for some people to punish themselves for circumstances out of their control. Trevor has been punishing himself for the death of his ex boyfriend that died in combat. To the point he believes he doesn't deserve love at all, until Shane a newcomer come to live in the town. Eventually Trevor and Shane get together. It's a sweet story💙💚

Inconsistent characters
I have read the first three books and enjoyed them, however I believe the author got bored with this series. It had a okay story to it but the author forgot the name of one of the Rainier men who was a main character in the previous book and mixed up the the relationship referring to brothers as cousins. Parts of the story were contradicted in other parts of it.

* more like 3.5 stars *
I really like Ashton Cade's books, but this time it was not what I was looking for.
I am disappointed because this story is simply boring and unbelievable.
The story is fine, but there is too much drama and not enough action. I didn't really "get into" the story. Trevor and Shane were over-dramatic and seemed to solve all their problems with either sex or alcohol. I couldn't believe their attraction or their relationship.

This is a great addition to the Rainer Family series. Both characters are given a second chance at romance but will they accept it? Seeing the pain and guilt that is so much a part of Trevor is heartbreaking. Meeting Shane gives Trevor the opportunity to reexamine his choices.
I really enjoyed seeing these two on their journey towards their HEA. Nothing comes easy but is is well worth it!

Poor Trevor, he thought he had so much to feel bad about. He was stuck living in a guilt loop. Then Shane walked into his life and made him question everything.
Trevor and Shane are sweet together and they are really good at figuring out what's going on And caring for each other.
I loved this story and their love.
