A review by soulwinds
Steel Resolve by B.J. Daniels
4.0
I received this book for NetGalley on exchange for an honest review.
Mary and Chase were high school sweethearts, staying together nearly all through college, but Chase decided to take off and make his fortune elsewhere and discover himself, leaving Mary heartbroken back in Montana. Chase ends up in Arizona Caring for his ailing mother, who passes. Chase decides to come back when he receives a letter from Mary. Only Mary never meant him to have it.
To make matters more complicated, Chase picked up a stalker, Fiona, who is positive Chase is meant to be with her. When Chase leaves to go back to Big Sky Montana, Fiona vows to make him sorry. Chase just wants to leave her behind, return home and win Mary back. Fiona plans to make him pay with his life. And Mary too…
All in all I thought this was a pretty good book. There were a few little things that I wasn’t completely sold on. The whole book Chase admits to sleeping with Fiona, but during the climax he does a 180 and claims he only remembers her taking off his boots and jeans before he went to sleep. So the whole tension between him and Mary was null and void…quite conveniently. I also thought Mary took him back quite easily really. They were doing the whole friendship thing, with Mary helping Chase try to figure out who his father is, and then she’s asking him at the end if he plans to be her man. Huh.
I did enjoy getting a multiple pov book, with it rotating through Chase, Fiona, Mary, Hud, and Dillion. It felt like you were getting a full 360 view of what was going on and what everyone was thinking. There wasn’t much mystery as a result, but there was a little bit of suspense and it certainly was an intriguing read.
This is my first B.J. Daniel’s book, but I think I will certainly be looking for more to read!
