Blurb: Robyn Heath has made a pretty
good life for himself away from Pickleville. He loves his job as a paramedic,
has a best friend who he adores who also happens to be his partner at work, and
he even gets laid every once in a while. Life couldn’t be better. Until the man
who broke his heart comes back into town.
Caden stopped breathing the
instant he saw Robyn again. His Robby was so fucking pretty, just like he
always had been. He had filled out slightly and his hair was styled
differently, longer on top and shorter all the way around. Caden wanted to run
his fingers through all those loose curls on top.
"I fucked up so hard,
man," he whispered to Brad, who still stood beside him. He watched as
Jaron took Robyn's elbow. They exchanged some words and then Jaron let Robyn
go. Robyn went inside and it took everything in Caden not to follow, to make
Robyn listen to him as he explained himself, even though there wasn't a damn
thing he could say without sounding like an asshole.
"Yeah, you did,"
Brad said.
"He hates me, now."
"He used to love
you," Brad pointed out.
"Well, he acts like he
doesn't even care now."
"He cares. He's trying
not to though." Brad looked at him, holding his gaze. "He slept in
your room every time I would let him. I heard him cry on your pillow, Caden.
When you stopped calling him, he would beg me to make you call him. Even after
he moved with Neil and Owen, he still begged to talk to you. He would even call
me specifically to ask after you until a couple years ago."
"Why didn't you tell me
this before now?"
"My point is that you
never asked about him. Not once."
"You're saying I didn't
care as much as he did."
"I don't know if you did
or not. The undeniable fact is that man loved you with everything he had."
"You're saying I can’t
fix it?"
"I don't know if you
should even try. My gut tells me you should let him go," Brad said.
"I give up. I'm not
talking to you anymore. You sound like Yoda and it's driving me crazy. I need
advice on Robyn not on how to use the force." Caden started to fold his
arms, but then winced at the pain it caused. He remembered the crushing force
of the truck as it rolled over him, pinning his arm down. The worst part was
turning his head to find Yarborough's lifeless eyes next to him, the lower half
of his body was gone. The vehicle had shifted, moved off its side and when it
did Caden's arm was freed. Not before crushing the bones and leaving a scar
that ran from his bicep to just before his wrist.
Caden felt a hand on his back
and turned to see Luis. "Thank god. I need advice and Brad is being
cryptic."
Tracy's review:
4 Stars
*copy provided to Bayou Book Junkie by author/publisher via Creative Minds in exchange for an honest review*
I liked the book. The storyline was good. The characters had good chemistry, I just wish the progression of their relationship would have moved a little slower. It seemed rushed. One minute they were talking then it skips ahead two months. Because this is book 8 in the series and almost all the characters live in or move back to the same town, there are a crap load of secondary characters that have roles in these books. Sometimes I find this so confusing to keep track of who's who. Unless a couple REALLY smacks me in the face, and makes a gigantic impression (and there have only been a handful), I'm not gonna remember them after reading 30 books between their book and the book they are a secondary character in now. (I hope this all make sense).
All in all, I think it's a good read. The sex is hot, but the story needed to move just a bit slower in my opinion. If you have liked the other 7 books in the series, you'll like this one as well!

Wow, I have not had a chance to start reading this series yet and wonder if I was lucky enough to win the ecopy of this one would I be confused by jumping in book 7?
