I did it again,
I will never learn!!!! I started this book at reasonable hour at night, and
with the idea I would stop at X hour, even if I wasn’t done. Well, that hour
came and went, and I chuckled to myself, because there was no stopping until
the story was complete. And what a story it was, filled with heat, attraction,
brotherhood, sisterhood, shared bonds, hurt, pain, love, and uncertainty |
|
Jagger and
Archie shared a bond few ever do, or we would ever want them to. But as with
all things in life, timing and maturity are everything, and things weren’t right
until they were. Both dove in with all they had and we soon learned that as
open as Archie was, Jagger had things he was closed about. Jagger wasn’t even
sure what it was, and he broke my heart as he tried to figure things out. While
doing that, Archie was taking control of her personal situation and sorting
through things, which gave Jagger lots to focus on. As she got things on
track, Jagger continued to fall off the rails internally. She finally got him
to a point where he shared, and goddesses, have the tissues ready, because it
is a waterfall event. But it set
things to get right, in both their worlds, because finally nothing was held
back between them. You could almost hear the locks snap into place as their
future was solidified and a calm settled into their world |

And then I
hit chapter 18, and I saw the POV, and I saw the timeline, and I burst into
tears without reading a word. I knew it would be important, I knew it would
be pivotal, and while I knew it would mean the world to Jagger, I knew how
much it would hurt to give that to him. It tore my heart out, but it was so
important. Later, Keely gives something to Jagger that brought tears to my
eyes, and it filled me with warmth and happiness. That is what Jagger needed
to fill that spot in his soul, his heart, that area that always felt dark and
in the shadows. It needed both these moments, both these memories, to shine
that light and show him there never was an emptiness, just an uncertainty he carried.
To those that loved him and knew him, it had always been right there in front
of them This is a
chaos book, and Jagger is a Black, so we get to see a few of our favourites.
Obviously Hound and Keely are here, and Dutch and Georgie. Jagger works in
the garage with Joker, so we get a moment with him, Carissa, and their brood.
Shy and Dog have cameos too. But the most extras we get are Archie’s crew.
She owns a shop, and her employees are the greatest sidekicks ever!!! She
also has a pretty great family, minus one we can hope will turn around, and
they provided some memorable moments as well. Add in some tweens, and a whole
new world where Archie lives, and Jagger becomes part of, is the main setting
for the story. I loved
Jagger and Archie’s story. It had had a wide range of emotions, and while it
had sadness, pain, and grief, it also had fun, giggles, and laughs. There
were moments that were sexy, and moments that were sweet. But the one things
that radiated off the pages for me was love. Familial love, partnership love,
couple love, friendship love, sisterly love, and brotherly love. What Jagger
and Archie felt, was all of these loves, and they felt it together, as they
faced whatever was going to come in their world, together <3 |
