Link coming soon
Bad boy Kade Maxwell knows all too well the pain and loss of the death of a loved one after his sister’s death tore his family—especially his mother—to pieces. He longs for the day his mother can heal from the mental anguish and return home to live with her family again. He prays every day that God will keep his brothers safe and that his father will one day be reunited with his wife. He doesn’t dream of his future. In fact, he had nightmarish glimpses of what his life would’ve been like as an adult until he met Lacey. She’s a light that cuts through his darkness. Her beauty, her determination, and her dedication in overcoming her own tragedy energizes his belief that maybe—just maybe—he can dream again.
Lacey Robinson has suffered tragedy at the hands of a killer who took away her sister and mother. After a change of scenery and a new life, her PTSD is on the mend. With the love and strength from Kade Maxwell and the help of her psychiatrist, she’s been able to work on the triggers that cause her panic attacks and blackouts. With a clear head and a clear road to the future, Lacey dreams of three things: She longs to find the person who killed her family. She wants to play baseball for ASU so bad she can taste it. And she wants a future with Kade Maxwell. But with several roadblocks thrown in her way, she may not get everything she wants. A trip to California opens a door that could expose the killer. Aaron Seever is up to his psychotic, bullying antics, and Kade has his own path for the future, one Lacey isn’t sure includes her.
Kade vows to love and protect Lacey even if that means his life for hers. Lacey vows to push through her demons and show Kade and her family that she has what it takes to rise above tragedy, even if she has to run into the arms of a killer to save a loved one.
For those who know me, know I've been waiting for this book for what seems like FOREVER!!!!!
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
In the first book we know Lacey is struggling to come to terms with her PTSD and the murders of her mother and sister. All she wants to concentrate on is being accepted into ASU to play baseball.
From the blurb I expected more from Aaron, but surprisingly after one little scene that stuff went away. Yes it was still there, but it wasn't a huge issue like it was in book one. Which kind of disappointed me. I wanted him to have some payback for his actions. After all, Karma is a bitch.
The story changes drastically from the first book and there were times where I honestly felt like giving up, but my love for the characters was enough to keep me reading.
I felt like in this book we see an entirely new Lacey. One that doesn't even know what she wants or who she hurts in the process. I will say she breaks up with Kade. It's not even for a ligament reason. She just ends it, not seeing what he's doing is protecting her, and trying not to come between her family.
The whole story of her mother and sisters death is revealed and surprised me to the core. Had I not stuck with this book I would have missed an epic read. It may have been slow at the beginning for me, but in the end I couldn't put it down. I had issues with Lacey throughout the book and found myself feeling more and more sorry for Kade. I honestly thought she was selfish.
Some parts were predictable, but even still it surprised me with the outcome. I honestly can't wait to read the next in the series and more from the brothers.
S.B.Alexander is an amazing writer and I'm so glad I had the privilege of receiving an ARC.
