"Easy" Cantrell knows better than most the pain of not being able to
save those he loves--which is why he is not going to let Jenna Dean out of his
sight. He may have just met her, but Jenna's the first person to make him feel
alive since that devastating day in the desert more than a year ago.
Jenna has
never met anyone like Easy. She can't describe how he makes her feel--and not
just because he saved her life. No, the stirrings inside her reach far beyond
gratitude.
As the pair
are thrust together while chaos reigns around them, they both know one thing:
the things in life most worth having are the hardest to hold on to.
I think the major thing that I loved about this book is that
there really wasn’t the action-packed writing as the rest of the series has
been. We finally got to see the boys do
a little R&R (rest and relaxation) after coming home from a rescue
mission. The other books were filled
with planning, fighting, and protecting and this book showed their comforting
side. They were able to let their guard
down and focus on each other than the mission.
Easy and the gang have just rescued Jenna and brought her back
to the Hard Ink home where Jenna can heal with the help of her sister Sara (although,
I thought her sister’s name was Crystal in the second book?) However, Easy finds that he is the main
comfort that Jenna wants when she wakes up. He is hesitant at first because of many
reasons. One, Jenna is younger than he
is. Two, she just has been held captive
and rescued and Easy fills that she needs to heal before anything starts.
Lastly, Easy feels that he isn’t the man that she needs. Easy has seen and fought in battles and lost
his best friend in one. He has PTSD and
thoughts about ending his life. Kaye
taking this turn in the book really made me want to commend her for tackling
such a delicate disorder that many suffer from.
It is hard to admit to yourself that you are having a problem and it is
even harder to admit to someone that you have a problem and need help and that
is exactly what Easy does. He battles
himself a lot in this book and finally realizes that if he is going to be the
man that Jenna want and needs and if he wants to be the man that he wants to
be, he needs open up and rely on his friends.
I adored the time that Jenna and Easy spent together in the bedroom
by themselves. They were able to open up
to each other and show characters more in a sensitive way than they would have
in front of the entire group.
In November the next book in this series comes out…I can’t wait!
