Review

Jordan Powell had her revenge and it still haunts her to this day. She thought she had moved on and made peace until she sees Nate Thrillson again. He wants answers to what was done to him and a chance to explain that her revenge was never needed. In the midst of trying to get everything figured out a mystery of missing dogs begins to unfold. Will they ever get the chance to put the past behind them and concentrate on the future.

I’m not always a fan of plots that are about finding love again from a past relationship, however, the author played this pretty well. It never crossed that line of “how in the world could you take that person back”, so as a reader, I felt able to lay back and enjoy.

The first few chapters were a little choppy, with the character connection hard to come by. The details were also a little slow in coming but once we get into the real meat of the story, it began to flow  much more seamlessly with an added plot of animal cruelty that not only educated but pulled at the heart-strings.

I only have one real complaint and that is the characters, they were a study in extremes. It made for some hot bed romp scenes but by the end, I thought I might need to go out and get some bi-polar medication. Nate Thrillson is a typical male in his in ability to communicate which as you can imagine caused no end of problems but add in his extreme ego and you almost have a cave man. Jordon gullibility as a teen had me wanting to scream but at the same time want to cheer for the sheer creativeness and determination. While as an adult she is less naive, she’s only gotten more creative and determined with a bit of an ego herself.

All together this is a really enjoyable book that I had fun reading.
