Marina Rossi is a tornado of personal chaos, always stumbling into trouble no matter how hard she tries not to. After being scarred by her family and placed into foster care as a teenager, she finds solace with Jasen until he’s moved to a new home. Because of all she’s endured, her biggest fear is being alone and her only goal in life is to create a loving family.
Jasen “Dex” Dexter aged out of the foster care system and dove straight into a career as a sniper in the Army. After nine years of service his platoon was ambushed, forever changing the course of his life. Now a police officer, Dex is known for being patient, calculated and methodical. He enjoys the solitude his life provides and wants to keep it that way.
Dex’s perfectly arranged life is turned on its head when he encounters Marina in a compromising situation. Even after twelve years apart it only takes them seconds to recognize one another. As Marina faces more trouble than one woman should, Dex feels his orderly life slipping away. While he tries to sort out his conflicted feelings, Marina becomes the target of a crazed stalker. If Dex doesn’t make a decision, it might be too late for both of them.
My Review
Oh my word this is even better than the first book was. If you're anything like me you will need one huge box of tissues to read this. I cried so many times I thought I would run out of tears.
Marina and Jasen knew (and secretly) cared for each other as youngsters in care, so this is a little bit of a second chance romance. I thought Jasen would be the broken and damaged character but boy it was Marina who broke my heart and had me blubbering repeatedly with how scarred she was inside.
Marina comes across as flighty and a little naive at first but you soon realise what a very strong person she is to have survived her circumstances for so long. Jasen has cut himself of emotionally from life and as a result adds to Marina's pain. There were so many ups and downs for this couple but the plot never felt repetitive.
I loved this story, it really pulled at my emotions and battered me but also gave me hope. The plot was really well thought through and interesting and it had a few sub-plots that added extra depth. The main, and supporting characters, were so detailed that they felt like real people. The writing is excellent, the story flows well and has a good pace to it and it kept me engaged from the very first page to the last.
The whole book is full of believable characters and situations and is a truly wonderful story of growth and love.
