Kame's Review:
Adam and Erin meet in an unconventional way, and find they
have an attraction that is hard to fight. Secrets and danger could mean a
relationship is not possible.
Adam is an AFT detective and if that isn’t enough he is battling
his own demons and a demon of an ex-girlfriend. He seems to crave a
relationship and goes into immediate protect mode when he meets Erin. Erin is
an emergency/trauma doctor who is trying to pay for her past with her future. I
question if they could even have an instant connection under the circumstances
they met, however the second meeting was more believable for me and allowed me
to think of them as a possible couple. This was not a relationship filled with
hearts and flowers, it had more than its fair share of angst; which led to
Adam’s uncommon way to work through an argument. I have lots of mixed emotions
about this part of the story – I never felt Erin’s opinions regarding this
technique were explored, validated or even acknowledged by Adam. It is not a given that every reader is going
to accept or understand Adam’s method. I will be honest this aspect of their
relationship almost made me DNF the book.
It is hard for me to categorize this book, it has so much in
it, so many details, so many plots points, so many tropes; I kind of wondered
what this book was trying to be. To me they all didn't add value, I got lost at
times. I felt a lot of attention was given to writing a plot with lots of
twists and turns and dead ends; and for me less time was devoted to building
the characters. Sometimes I had to put it down and walk away just because I was
getting so frustrated. All of these things made it difficult to become vested
in Adam and Erin’s characters. Not until
the very end did I feel their devotion and love for one another.
I waited for this book for so long. But I will admit I was
on the fence about whether to read it or not. Tina Reber’s Love series is one
of my favorites and one I read again and again as a comfort read. However this new series is about the Trent
brothers; and Adam’s brother Kyle Trent was a character I despised in the Love
series. I am not sure he can ever redeem himself in my heart. However since I
loved the Love series and Tina Reber’s writing style I had high expectations for
this book, and was ecstatic when it was gifted to me by a fellow reader. It
might not have reached the level the others have in my heart however my
interest is peaked. The next book in
this series is about Adam’s brother, a medic who suffered a life altering
injury while deployed. I have a soft space in my heart for wounded warrior
heroes so I will probably definitely pick that book up.
3 STARS!
