Reviewer: Melyssa
I’ve said it before
and I’ll say it again, Bella Jewel writes fantastic family fiction.
Okay, so getting into
the nitty gritty of this story, it’s romance with just the right level of
suspense mixed in. It follows two people who eventually meet and find something
in one another that they haven’t been able to find, or in the case of our heroine
in this story, haven’t wanted to find, in anyone else.
But going deeper into
it, especially with the Next Generation series of novels, we’re getting to see
an even bigger dynamic, and its family. They’re tight knit, even more so than in
the original novels I would venture to say and there is no mistaking with the
way they all interact that they’re family. There is humor, there is
in-fighting, but more than anything else, there is love and it makes these
stories even more entertaining for me as the reader than they would have been
having this element and these characters added in.
I loved Jack. He wasn’t
like any of the other guys from the series and definitely not like his brother
Diesel at all. He had an air of cockiness right off the bat that turned into
curiosity I think, but it was all driven by the overwhelming need to be a good
person. He was just the sweetest and more so than any other hero, I swooned
over him and I did it hard.
His feelings, what he
was willing to do for her, how patient he was while Baylee came to terms with
the whole shitload of pain she’d been dealt, was truly beautiful and extraordinary
and I’m so glad that he was the one for her. Jack was definitely the one she
needed to show her it was okay to love again and more than that, to live again,
infusing her with a strength I know deep down she never thought she would be
able to have again. A trust and a belief that not all guys are the same as the
one that thoroughly broke her.
I think the more
suspense driven portion, where things really hit the fan seemed to come and go
rather quickly this time around, which bothered me a little, but even with the
quickened state of that, I do believe it packed the same punch that all of
these MC stories always do. It pulled me in emotionally with the looks back at
the past and especially in the future when the truth of Baylee’s past all comes
out and that’s what I most enjoy about reading these stories, even if they do
end too soon. I enjoy the pull I get and the need to see a beautiful real
beginning for two characters I’ve come to enjoy.
If you’re a fan of
this author or of any of the previous books in this series, I think this is one
you need to pick up and read, and if this is your first book by this author, it’s
my hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
My thanks to the
author and all others involved in letting me read an early copy of this story.
Baylee’s journey and then her journey to love and happiness with Jack is one I’m
so thankful to have taken.
