I was
expecting a knock-down, drag-out, enemies to loves story, what I got was not
that, but so much more. Hale is so closed off, so turned and tuned out to
emotions, they have been used against him all his life, and he has seen the
damage they can leave in their wake. Elsa owns where she’s been, and focuses on
where she is going. Driven and being high achievers is what these two have in
common. The attraction, immediate. The connection, strong. The missteps, a
few. Communication is what Elsa does well, but Hale has a lot of barriers he fiercely
protects. When the walls come down, the emotions flood, and, finally for Hale,
it all makes sense and he can be at peace and happy I knew
there would be a lot of emotion here, with Hale being Corey’s son, things we
had hints at were going to be exposed, and they were going to hurt. Seeing
Corey as he was, gaining knowledge behind his actions, finding out just how
deeply he loved and cared for Hale, the tissues were close, because with each
piece that was exposed, the waterworks flowed, heck, they’re flowing now
thinking about it. Life is never simple, blood family is complex, and found
family is a gift, and love is the answer, though it isn’t always clear how it
shows. Another wonderfully told story, with all the messiness and happiness,
life brings <3 |
