Holy crap! This book broke me! I knew when Corey and Ava met in book two that there was a connection between them. Ava had just experienced something horrific but you don’t get the full story until this one….and it broke my heart.
Two years on and Ava is in college, trying hard to lead a normal life whilst flash backs still leave her cold. Corey is never far from her thoughts….and she is never far from his. An unexpected trip home sees them meeting up again and the connection is even stronger.
This book had so many twists to it, my heart was beating so fast. A couple of times I had to put my kindle down and take a deep breath before carrying on, but what a book! Ava and Corey have my heart!
I literally finished this book in one day. This book is written as a standalone but can be read as part of the MAC security series by the same author for back stories on the secondary characters.
100% my favourite book by this author so far, I was captivated from the very first page! Ava’s struggle with her past is wrote in such a way that it just pulls you in and you get lost in the story. Jackson needs his own book, I loved him! Corey is so manly but cute that he melted me and Jess really intrigued me too, I’d like to learn more about her 😉
The ending is so sweet I had the biggest smile on my face, it was one of those endings that has you saying ‘awww’
Absolutely fabulous book!!
Ava lived with druggy parent, helping them to get their next fix, until one night her dad couldn’t pay his debt, he exchanged her to be debt free and Ava was sent into a life of hell. When she was found it was Corey that saved her, she clung to him, he knew everything, but then he had to return to his mission.
Ava learns coping techniques to get through and she’s doing better unless she’s caught of guard, she hasn’t heard from Corey, but decides that next time she sees him she wants to be stronger, although she still doesn’t like to be touched.
Corey seems to be the only one that sees Ava, he knows she needs to make her own decisions and not have them taken away from her. Corey tires to fight what he feels for Ava knowing that he’s going away and being with him could put her in danger, but they both realise they can’t fight it anymore.
Ava battles her past and wants to be stronger for Corey, he was her strength when she needed it and she wants to show him that she’s stronger because of him.
When Ava faces her past, she draws from the strength that she’s has now and when everything starts to fall apart Corey is there to pick her up again and work though it with her, so he can see her fly free again.
