How have I not read this series???
I am a bit bummed this was a novella
From the opening scene, I was addicted
I want more of the "No!!!" and "omg " moments - you know the scenes where you gasp out loud?
And the chemistry ⚗ 😍 between them
These two were scorching hot 🔥
Updated version
I wasn't sure how this was going to play out for me-
I'm not much of a derby fan was worried I would feel disconnected
But for this journey?
It was the perfect sport
Emotional
Real
Raw
The slow build between Mayhem and Priest?
It was paced perfectly
The tension between Tilly and Maisey?
It brought an important element to the overall story
Lana and the truth of her past?
It just endeared certain characters to me that much more
Eve and her jealousy?
I look forward to her story
Micha... that's a little secret you will have to find out on your own.
Not only will the main characters attach themselves to you but I believe you will be just as enamored with the supporting cast
I laughed -
I wiped away a couple of tears -
and I fell in love
Maisey had a rough start - a sort of reoccurring transplant history when it came to her childhood.
Nothing was ever permanent in her life.
She learned that the hard way and at a very young age.
Only two things take up residence in her world now
Derby and the children she volunteers with
There is no room for anything else in her life
Cain is bathing in a vat of self-loathing -
One of his own making and an intricate part of the story
He has been for years.
He was only back in town to help his sister -
Quick stop -
In and out -
No connections -
No...
Ahhh hades!
The best-laid plans just got knocked away
Looks like life found a way to give them both what they needed even if they didn't know they wanted it
This storyline and characters are well written. It's a love story about the one that got away. Jackson always loved Savanah. She marries Colton and has a daughter named Skye. Savanah is not happy and attempts to leave Colton. He tortures Skye to keep Savanah close. Savanah returns to her home town for safety. This book is a fast read.
