Damn!!!
If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! And, not just because the Hero was
amazing, I mean he was okay, but the Heroine was off-the-charts fearless. Joss
Brockton was one of the strongest most courageous women ever. It was totally
her story, and she shined!! Every woman should be like Joss – kind, loyal, smart,
beautiful. But, it’s integrity that makes everyone love her. When Chris Greyson
meets Joss, he’s totally taken with her beauty and fearlessness. Even though he
doesn’t know Joss’ story, he knows that there’s something that keeps her from
getting too involved. She’s hiding something. Something so painful and
devastating that she’s scared to really let anybody into her life. She does,
though, tell Chris’ brother John her story, and it’s not a pretty one. It’s one
heartbreaking loss that claimed two innocent lives that is forever branded into
her mind. And, Chris is not without damage either. He’s an ex-Army Ranger that
was a prisoner of war that is suffering from PSTD. His life is now totally
different now that he is at home as he is plagued with agonizing nightmares
from time to time. Joss lives near him, and wants to help him through his anxiety
and grief from the pain of his anguish. But, he is also stubborn, so she’s
going to have to be more creative when trying to comfort him.
I
thought that the novel would deal more with Chris’ story, but was surprised
when it took on more of Joss’ traumatic past. And, a traumatic past is what she
totally has. It was so sad and painful to read the agony of what she had to
live with. I just couldn’t imagine such a devastating loss. The author writes
her story with passion and intensity. And, as she also terrorized by an
individual who is completely obsessed with her, the reader learns just how
strong and brave a person she really is. She is one determined and fierce young
woman!! This was totally her story, and it was remarkable! The Greyson-Slade
guys still are hanging around with their women by their sides as weddings,
births, and other events are celebrated. So, the reader gets caught up-to-date
as to changes within all the characters lives. I just loved how the author
keeps the action moving with the intrigue and intensity building as the climax
is heading to the forefront. You know something big is going to drop, and drop
it does with depth and emotion that affects the energy of the story. It’s to
the extreme that everything comes together as the reader is catapulted into
high emotional oblivion. WOW!! Did I just all that? I just got a little carried
away I guess. But, take my word for it, Joss’ story is powerful! You will no
way in hell be disappointed!!! Waiting now to see what Ms. Kitchen has next up
her sleeve!!!
