ADAM – Book Two
Adam Tucker is a man on a mission. After failing to save a troubled teen from drowning, Adam traded being a Coast Guard rescue swimmer for the dream of starting a youth adventure camp in his hometown. Adam is willing to do whatever it takes to help other kids navigate the deep, dangerous waters of adulthood. He’s even bet his twin brother that he can finish the transformation of a boathouse into camp living quarters before the summer season puts their watersports business in full swing. But when the key to winning that bet turns out to be an interior designer who is as enigmatic as she is gorgeous, things get complicated for Adam.
With its soaring mountains and rushing river, Eagle’s Ridge is the perfect place for Jadyn McAllister to stay “off the grid” until things settle down in Miami. No one from her old life would expect her to hide out in a small town, working for cash and keeping her real name—Jane—a secret, but that’s exactly what the FBI told her to do. They also told her to trust absolutely no one, which isn’t a problem until she meets Adam. From the first moment, sparks fly and temperatures rise every time they’re together. She’s determined to keep him at arm’s length and in the dark…but the more time they spend together, the more she longs to wrap her arms around him and hold him close all night long.
With her aura of secrets and her tough façade hiding a vulnerable sweetness, Jadyn calls out to the rescuer in Adam. But he learned the hard way that total honesty is the only way to live and he senses Jadyn is lying to him. But she knows the truth could risk more than her heart – it could cost her life. As the whitewater of danger swirls around them, it will take more than a strong swimmer to save them both…it will take love.

A very good story about people you care about.
Adam is book 2 in the 7 Brides for 7 Soldier anthology. Roxanne St. Claire does a nice job of continuing the adventures of the citizens of Eagle Ridge, Washington. Adam Tucker meets his match with Jane aka Jadeyn Mc McAllister. They butt heads from the beginning, but are also very attracted to one another. Theirs is a story of trust, secrets, a little danger, wit, and finding that overcoming past challenges requires finding the right person to help you. When they finally find that trust, then the love develops and they are a great team. Really a delightful love story with a bit of suspense thrown in. I loved the continuation of the same characters in this small town from book 1. Lots of little side stories that are making this series very intriguing. The guys that make up the 7 Soldiers in this series are a bunch of kids in a grown man’s body. Their friendship and witty banter is a lot of fun. Looking forward to continuing this series.
Adam (7 Brides for 7 Soldiers, #2) by Roxanne St. Claire ..I am enjoying this series with different authors. This one has mystery, suspense, laughs, romance and a very HEA. Can’t wait to read the next one…Zane’s story.
Loved it
Another hit. Jane thinks she is a target of a drug Lord and is sent to Seattle, but ends up in Eagle Ridge. She ends up meeting and helping Zane convert the old boathouse and turning it into a dorm for trouble kids. Neither expected to fall in love.
Redecorating the bunkhouse to help under privileged youths, brings Adam and Jane together. Both haunted from losing someone in their pasts has connected them on so many levels. But when those she is running from bring the FBI to his door will true love prevail? Can Jane start over in the warmth of Adam’s arms? Cute story and highly entertaining. A great addition to the series.
This romance is filled with mystery, intrigue and passion. Adam and Jane shouldn’t have chemistry. They don’t even know each other but, that doesn’t stop the attraction even in the midst of Jane’s temporary situation in Eagle’s Ridge. Exciting drama with fascinating characters will keep you entertained.
In my opinion there was a little more suspense in Adam Book 2. I kept turning the pages to see if I was right about who put the target on Jane’s back. Lets just say I was. In my opinion this book was a little predictable but I was okay with that. This was a fun and entertaining read. We know the secrets that both Jane and Adam have and the walls that have been put up. I enjoyed reading how the walls come down. My prediction is you don’t necessarily have to read each book, but if you do I think some things are going to repeated. This was a fun, fast read.
Adam has resigned from the service & has come home to help his brother run an outside adventure company. He also has a dream to set up a “bunkhouse” in the old boat house by the water & bring in underprivileged youth during the summer for outings. He bet his brother he could have it done in 3 weeks & has no idea how he will get it done.
Jadyn is on the run. Supposedly she is being hunted by a drug kingpin that thinks she turned him into the FBI. An agent gave her money, a plane ticket & her id until they could get information to get him arrested. Jadyn ended up in Eagle Ridge but is running out of money. When she was looking for a job as a decorator, Adam thought she was applying as a tour leader & was rude & arrogant in turning her down.
This is a well written story & is the second in the 7 brides for 7 soldiers series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but reading them all will given you a more in depth look at the town, its history & the characters. I love that Jadyn & Adam are on the run from something in their pasts & they have to get past it before they can move into their future. The interactions of the detention friends are at time hilarious & at times endearing. I love the way they all have each other’s backs when needed. I can’t wait for the next book!
