I loved this book’s storyline. I loved the suspense in this story. I loved Avalyn’s character. I was so scared for Avamyn. I loved Bridger’s character. Bridger was funny , he made me laugh . I loved the ending. Awesome Ms. Checketts.
I enjoyed reading this story very much. It was different and had a few twists and turns that added to its uniqueness.
Avalyn Shaman was a philanthropist and traveled the world helping educate others about the plight of the adults and children of the world who lived in severe poverty. She had loved Bridger Hawk since they were children but he was a player and she wanted nothing to do with that. She didn’t want to risk her heart any more than she had when she was younger.
Bridger Hawk was an extreme sports athlete who lived life on the edge and was always looking for the next thrill. To the public, he was a playboy who loved women but really there was only one woman for him and she wouldn’t give him the time of day. He had been in love with Avalyn Shaman since the first time he kissed her in high school. It had been eight years since they had last seen each other and now his brother and her friend were getting married in Cancun and they were thrown together. He kept putting his heart out there and Ava kept throwing it back to him.
When they were both kidnapped and Ava was used as the motivation for him to try and win and also the prize for the winner, Bridger was determined to protect him at all costs. He couldn’t let her get hurt by a man who was insane and a thrill seeker, as well. Would he be able to keep Ava safe or would he lose her forever?
This was a clean romance with an unusual plot that worked. I was given an arc copy and I willingly offer my review.
3.5 stars for this newest from Cami Checketts. This is an interesting read and somewhat different from other books I’ve read by the author. Bridger is an extreme sport athlete who is at the top of his game, confident, passionate, wealthy, and totally in love with his childhood friend Ava. Avalyn is a bit older, totally focused and devoted to philanthropy for bettering the world for third-world country children. They are pretty much opposites and, though she’s loved him for as long as she can remember, Ava believes they are not suited for each other. Enter Bridger’s fiercest competitor and “friend”, who takes both of them on the wildest journey and challenge of their lives. The premise is a bit weird and creepy, almost like some crazy survival reality TV show. There are over-the-top moments in the plot, as other reviewers have stated. The story does come together at the end, explaining what Bridger’s friend plotted and does have the happily-ever-after ending along with quite a few intense moments of adrenaline during the physical challenges, as well as the suspense of what will happen next to Bridger and Ava during the competition. Most of Bridger and Ava’s romance is based on their past history and their current action-filled do-or-die circumstance.
If you enjoy a contemporary romance filled with extreme sport adrenaline, you will enjoy this book. I was given a copy of the book by the author and was under no obligation to post a review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
