A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review An Alisa Review:

Rating: 4 stars out of 5

I am a big AE Via fan and this book definitely didn’t disappoint. We have seen Ford and Dana in the previous books in this series and it’s great to see them get their own story. Ford is having trouble processing his feelings and reactions to Dana and ends up reacting in anger more often than not. Dana is for the most part lonely and really only wants someone around that actually cares for him and this causes him to stay with his uppity girlfriend even when he is unhappy.

Dana needs to step up and get rid of his girlfriend before they can do anything while they are investigating and trying to locate two bountys. Dana and Ford have to bump heads a few times and learn to trust even more before they can really begin to have a relationship. Both of them have to accept what their relationship means while still being able to do their jobs at each other’s sides no matter the risk.

This book is told through both characters’ eyes so we get the chance to understand both of them well. We also get the opportunity to see a bit through Ford’s brother’s, Brian’s, eyes which gives me hope that the next book will be his opportunity to find the partner he needs. I could just feel how betrayed Dana felt by his girlfriend and then when Ford pushes him away at first. Seeing Ford finally accept that he can have the relationship he wants to with Dana was wonderful. These two build a strong relationship that will only get stronger as they are together and I can’t wait to read Brian’s story.

Cover art is great and follows the pattern for this series.
