5.0

The redemption story is done at its finest. After the events of Cracks in the Ice, I didn't think I would fall in love with Eckie, and wow, was I wrong. The man has experienced enough heartbreak to last a lifetime, and those events led him to getting the help he needed to strive and strive he did.
Jack, even when mad with Eckie during his reckless behavior, saw the good in him and helped him to be able to see the good in himself. These two men were made to build each other up and restore each other's faith in love and humanity. Without the other, I can't see either ever being truly happy.
It's not often I find the redemption book better than the original, but this one has done it in spades. Please enjoy the journey and know if you ever need help for depression reach out if you are not alone.
