Wow, what a crazy emotional rollercoaster. This book has me in tears. It doesn't break your heart, it shatters it. But it does put it back together beautifully. West, my poor beautiful broken soul. He constantly cracked my heart till it completely shattered for him. Witnessing his journey was painful and hard. And Jackson, that man deserves sainthood. His strength, love, and determination is everything. Their hard fought HEA is one of the most beautifully tragic I've read. This is hands down one of the top reads ever for me.
It was good but it didn’t need to be that long frfr. It could have been a duet instead
I don’t know what to give this so I’m settling with half way
2.5/5
The author did an amazing job with setting the foundation for this book and what they wanted to get from it.
The hurt really hurt and it was so well done, it was push pull with West which is understandable from his trauma perspective. I really liked the descriptions of what he was feeling. It built up a story of hurt surrounding everyone kind of knew what happened but never told Jackson.
70% is where this book really fell off, the healing West did with Jackson was off page which felt like a cop out given the wonderful story of hurt we had woven for us. It’s one of those where I questioned it but it wasn’t the end of the world.
Then the rodeo had to happen, there was not a single good choice by the author in this arc of the book. They introduced rampage and immediately you could see the plot point coming from a mile away that Jackson was going to get hurt. Amy straight up disappeared and they brought it the exposing West to the press plot point for a whole of 5 seconds and the resolution of that wasn’t explained to us. They said that they ran it by west what was released. But they should’ve explained to us as readers what was released so we can put the problem to rest along with it. We were left hanging instead.
Then you have the Marry Me and a psych who came from who knows where coming and convincing West to leave. Bear in mind here that Wests trauma was 17 years ago and in those 17 years he didn’t seek therapy and in the book he said he would never seek therapy. So why now…..
Even when he gave the explanation in the letters, it wasn’t really an explanation.
Once again all of Wests healing was off page, you can’t give us this level of hurt and then magically heal off page.
