I was excited by the buzz around this book and wanted to love it, but it was definitely not the book for me.
Eamon and his best friend/adopted brother Dalton are inseparable. When Eamon, a police officer, is killed in the line of duty, Dalton takes responsibility for Evangeline, Eamon’s very pregnant wife.
If the main focus had been on Eamon and Dalton’s relationship and Dalton’s search for belonging, I would have liked this much better. Unfortunately, the religious overtones (lots of madonna/whore tripe) and the love triangle did not work for me.
The writing itself was fine, but I was so turned off by the story itself that I will be unlikely to read more by this author.
