Are you ready to get your socks blown off by Shane Marlow? He's dreamy!
How do you recover when life kick-boxes your soul? Becca Gable is fighting to stay on her feet after a series of crushing losses. She’s always been the good girl until the events of the past year push her to make a mistake she can’t take back. Now, her corporate finance job and her fiancé are gone thanks to her newly-acquired criminal record. Shane Marlow survived an IED blast during his service in Iraq—but half his team did not. Physically healed, he returns to his home county as a K9 officer. The scars of loss run deep and though local folks admire him, no one truly gets him—until Becca literally lands in front of him. Their bond of shared tragedy evolves into a connection both fiery and healing. But a stalker decides that Becca’s crime should stay front and center. As the unsettling episodes reveal that no part of her life is secret, Shane is all that stands between her and the enemy.
REVIEW
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Becca Gable has had a tough year, she’s slowly trying to get herself right again but after a silly mistake her life is turned upside down. She just wants to move on and forget what happened. Shane Marlow is Redemption County’s police K9 officer, he’s been to war and has the scars to prove it. While everyone thinks he’s the returning hero, he doesn’t feel it. They’re both struggling to just get through the day, neither is looking for love but when they meet the attraction is undeniable.
I am loving this series, I say series but they’re standalones. You definitely don’t need to have read Record of Wrongs to fully enjoy this book. I read that Sharon Kay planned on releasing three books – firstly, who is the next book about? A girl has to know! Secondly, I don’t think three is going to be enough. Please, please, please give me more. Sharon has a way of writing that just grabs you and immerses you into the story. You feel the emotions the characters feel, you get invested in their story and you anxiously keep turning the pages to see what happens next.
This is a beautiful story that I think everyone should read. Both Shane and Becca have experienced severe loss, this is their story of finding a little light in the dark and moving on. Putting past mistakes behind them and helping each other to deal with past events. It’s raw, it’s beautiful and you’re going to want to spend some time visiting with them. This book gives you the opportunity as a reader to view depression from various viewpoints and I think it’s so important to give you an understanding of how it can change a person without them really knowing it or why. It’s hard for both the person and the family. I laughed, I cried, and I swooned in equal measure. This book also includes a little intrigue and I wasn’t surprised by the eventual outcome, for me, it could only have been one person.
Shane Marlow is one heck of a guy. Ok, I’ll admit it, I fell a little bit in love with him. I liked him in Record of Wrongs and was looking forward to his story and it didn’t disappoint. He was the perfect tortured hero. He was sweet, yet commanding. Charming and sexy. He had his demons and worked hard to hide them. Of course, Becca was able to climb his walls and get into his head and his heart to help him heal.
Becca Gables was quite the woman. I loved that although she was dealing with a lot she went out on a limb and agreed to a date with Shane. He really was the best person to help her deal with her losses and move on with her life. Yes, she made a mistake, but that guilt was eating her up inside. Shane gave her the boost to start to forgive herself.
We need to take a moment to talk about Denver. He was the star of the show for sure. I just adored him. Every scene he was in was cleverly done and written beautifully.
I loved that this book included dates, I don’t remember the last book I read that actually had the couple going on dates. It was such a wonderful way to experience the growth of their relationship. The attraction between the two of them was palpable from the moment they met but it was nice to watch that become something more, where neither of them could fight it. The sexy time scenes were smoking and fit really well within the storyline. You might want to take a cold shower later on. I loved that there wasn’t any conflict between the two of them, they fell hard for each other and made the relationship work.
