This book
was incredible and I am kicking myself for not diving into earlier!!! Derek
and Sofia are mature, reasonable, damaged, and emotional. That last one, it doesn’t
seem to fit, but as their story unfolds, you slowly see how their emotions
have been driving them for years. Acquaintances who express their passion one
night, their story becomes a whole lot more. I cried, really cried, for the
pain and anguish Derek and Sullivan endured. I ached, total heart ache, for
Sofia and Liam. Yes, Derek and Sofia are our main couple, but there are undercurrents
with Sullivan and Liam that drive this story, and end without resolution. As Sofia discovers
Derek, who he is, how he feels, why he feels, it was a revelation to me as a
reader as well. Derek hasn’t, really, really, hasn’t had a good life, and he
kept making decisions to solidify that. It isn’t easy to turn that around,
and he really doesn’t want to, so why do it. The moment, that pinpoint in
time, almost too late, that clarifies things for him was a true sunshine
breaking through the clouds made me weep and laugh in happiness for him. When
Sofia realizes his change of heart, when he tells her in the way only Derek
can, well they had me goofy smiling that they were finally, finally, getting
their HEA This story
is packed with intrigue, twists and turns, action and violence. It defines a
romantic suspense, as our couple get to really know each other in the midst
of all these goings on. I haven’t read any of the other books in this series,
I will be rectifying that soon, and had no trouble following along. I am off
to get the next book in the series now, because, well, there is a couple on
tap, and another that needs some resolution. |
