Struggled a bit with this one. Rue has been dealt blow after blow growing up and trying to work through all the tough times. Cleo was supposed to be her friend yet when she pushes their relationship to a new level (a night in the sheets) he dumps her like a hot lava rock. Not sure what having sex had to do with anything if their friendship was so strong. I did like the fact there wasn't a baby abandoned in all this mess as seems common in LLV's books. Most all the h's end up pregnant within months of being with H's which can be a bit of a yawn after a while.
Cleo had some serious issues and his growth after the year away from Rue helps him see just what he'd pushed away from. Rue gives him another chance but like most women she doesn't accept his claim of love at face value. Lots of difficulty and struggle but they triumph in the end. It was good to see all the Dixie Wardens popping up and some of the folks from Kilgore.

Thoughts: Great series, loving The Dixie Wardens!!
So frustrated by this. Once more, it seems that I have fallen into the land of where there is a very good set-up... and then... it just meanders along and then ends. With a couple of sentences to pull everything together. Which it didn't.
Firstly - Cleo walked out on her... a year later he's back. It is as if nothing happened. Also, there was an allusion to the fact that something else had happened. Never referred to again... Then there were his sisters. They were just awful. Why on earth he put up with them, I don't know... he was dumb as a box of frogs... blood really doesn't matter. Then Rue is suddenly A-OK with him wanting to be back in her life... that makes no sense to me. I don't believe that a game should be played... but she did try and get in contact with him... he didn't. So... mehhh.
Secondly - the sideplot as LLV seems to do in the bulk of her tales. There should've been so much more to that than a couple of paragraphs. How on earth do these people get away with their actions... I really wouldn't want to live where they do... everyone seems to look the other way at everything. And what about the doctor that was giving Rue such a hard time? What was the point of introducing that if it was going to lead to nowhere?!!
Thirdly - there is no thirdly, cos I am too cross.
So - in summation.
OK read. OK leads. OK plot.
19/02/21 Also... Audrey... I thought that was part of a later story line - this didn't fit continuity-wise...

second chance romance. He is a life flight operator, she is a nurse. Mostly just drama between Cleo and Rue about him leaving before. At the end there is a great plotline involving a strange rape case Cleo had to testify in. I wish that plotline had been the dominate one. These books are enjoyable, but ultimately, they are all the same: a string of random events, sassy comments, jealousy, and motorcycle club members all jumping in to help 'protect someones' woman'.
Every time I finish I ask myself "Why do I keep reading these if they are all the same?" I'll let you know if I ever figure it out, but until then, I will probably keep reading/listening.
Mason Lloyd and Lidia Dornet are GREAT narrators!

This series is so great. I just wish the books were a smidge longer. I want to re-read them all over again.
