The nightmare is over. Or so I keep telling
myself. Bruised and battered, we'd narrowly escaped with our lives. I
should be grateful. Grateful that my captors are in custody. Grateful
that the chilling, roller-coaster of events, actually brought Nick and I
closer. Grateful that we’ve finally taken a step toward something more
than friendship. And I am, grateful.
But life isn’t simple.
Relationships need work.
And peace of mind is elusive in the face of unbearable guilt.
Because
I’m the one who unravelled the puzzle. The one responsible for sending a
young man back to a life he thought he’d escaped forever. Until I know
he’s safe; until I’ve done everything I can to fix what happened, there
will be no pretending I’ve done my bit. No leaving it up to the
authorities. I can’t forget and move on. Not in my job. Not in my life.
And certainly not in my fledgling romance with Nick Fisher who stormed
into my heart with a truckload of his own issues.
The fate of a
young man isn't the only thing at stake. The quest for truth will push
us to our limits. And the biggest question of all—do Nick and I have
what it takes to survive the answers.
Copy received for an honest review
Well, this was an adrenaline pumping tale.
It carries on immediately after book one, The Meaning of You, and well, if you thought things were going to calm down after that, Jay Hogan has proved that it not the case.
It took me a while to get back in to what was happening with Nick and Mads - that is my bookzheimer's coming to the fore - and when I remembered what was happening, I was swept up in mystery, the intrigue and the hope that all involved were dealing with.
Oh man, it is not always an easy read either. Everything, and I mean everything is complicated. And at times, the pair of them just needed to remove heads from sphincters and just talk. I wanted to smack their heads together, or handcuff them together until they sorted themselves out. I got it, I really did, but man they could test the patience of a saint hahah
But they worked it out, people got what they deserved, and I let out a great cheer!
Oh, and remember Gazza, that works with Mads? Man, was he just brilliant in this installment - please ma'am, I want more!
I thoroughly enjoyed this installment, loved that love won out, and I got the HEA I needed for our lovelies.
