Publisher's summary

Not all knights wear armor. Some wear coveralls and carry a big wrench.

An oblivious prince longs for his knight in shining armor. When his knight has been under his nose all along, will he claim him before it's too late for them both?

As deeply as he craves his own fairy tale happily-ever-after, resort owner Cody Prescott doesn't have time for a relationship. But that doesn't stop him from crushing on most men on Piedras. Luckily for him, they're emotionally unavailable or already taken, so he doesn't have to worry about getting attached.

Wade Buckner, the island's handiest handyman, is tired of waiting for Cody to wake up and realize Wade is the man for the job. He's ready and willing to rescue Cody from just about anything, even questionable hotel guests.

The Harvest Feast is the kick-off for the resort's 125th anniversary, and they have a full house. But something sinister is afoot at the resort, something that even his knight might not be able to rescue Cody from.

Are they trying to kill him, put him out of business, or both?

The Real Thing, book five in the West Coast Forensics series, is dual POV and follows Cody and Wade all the way to their happy ending. Can be listened to as a standalone, but might be better enjoyed if you start with Real Trouble, first in the WCF series.

Good story.

These two were a fun pair to follow. It took them a long time to realize they liked each other.

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, interesting plot.
OMG Cody has been such a hot mess throughout this entire series, he's adorable and I'm glad he finally gets his happy ending. This is another story i'm not sure how it falls into "West Coast Forensics" - there's all kinds of mayhem, but no real association with the WCF team. I enjoyed watching Cody and Wade's relationship grow, both are just good guys and deserve to be happy. For the most part, i'd call this an easy listen with a relatively uncomplicated plot.

Seriously though ... how much trouble can Piedras Island get into 😆

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Michael Dean's performance. He suits the characters giving them each their own voice and personality, has good timing, inflections and intonations and brings the book to life. Credit where credit is due, I appreciate his consistency voicing the characters throughout both the Veiled Intentions and West Coast Forensics series - there are a lot of characters all consistently voiced. Thankyou.
