Northern Roots Atlantic Book 2: Dip Out by Eve Holmes

 

Northern Roots Atlantic Book 2

A journey through the wilderness can reveal the wild within.

Arthur Mercer has spent his life hidden in Newfoundland’s rugged wilderness, where nature’s untamed beauty offers him peace from an overwhelming world. As a renowned wildlife photographer, he finds solace in the quiet, predictable presence of birds and nature, which matches the solitude he craves. But when Trevor Walsh, an adventurous wildlife veterinarian, crosses his path, Arthur’s carefully built walls begin to crumble.

Trevor is everything Arthur is not—outgoing, bold, and constantly seeking the wildest parts of life. Drawn together by the landscapes they love, they soon uncover the hidden depths they've kept from the world, and reveal their truest selves to each other.

In the raw beauty of Newfoundland, their connection runs deep. Trevor’s boundless energy stirs something in Arthur, and breaks through his quiet, guarded existence. And in return, Arthur’s calm presence allows Trevor to experience the beauty of stillness.

As they strip away their masks, they discover the wild freedom they’ve been searching for isn't just in the world around them—it’s within each other.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

What a ridiculously sweet and beautiful story. I could not put it down. I really loved this book! Trevor and Arthur’s love story was just wonderfully swoony. I was just so sad it ended because I just wanted to keep following their journey. Arthur is a brilliant photographer and being in nature brings him such a sense of peace. The world is hard a place for him sometimes and he has learned to keep to himself and follow his routine. It makes him feel safe. But when a little bird needs his help, he doesn’t hesitate to give it. Stepping out of his comfort zone just ends up leading him to Trevor. And in meeting him, it will change everything. Trevor loves his job as a wildlife vet. He loves nature and helping animals. But he couldn’t imagine how his life would be changed when Arthur walks into his clinic’s doors with a bird in need. It brings the beginning of what will be a beautiful relationship. Trevor’s energy is calmed through Arthur’s quiet existence. He learns to appreciate what’s around him and see things in a new way. Arthur learns that stepping out of your comfort zone can sometimes lead to an even more peaceful and safe place. I adored watching these two slowly open up to one another. They take their time to learn and read one another and bit by bit realize that perhaps they found something they didn’t even realize they were searching for. Like I said an absolutely beautiful and sweet story. I loved both these characters and their minds and how they slowly fell in love. You definitely don’t want to miss this book!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
