Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.
When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.
This family is my favorite! It’s starting to get bittersweet because this is the next to the last book of the series and I love every single minute of their lives so I’m going to be sad to see them go … but what a ride each and every book has been! Gable is the brother we’ve seen the least of previously because of all of his undercover work, but he isn’t any less intense and commanding. I loved seeing him give Athena the connection that she so desperately needed to feel like she mattered. The characters are attention grabbing, the plot is easy to follow and well developed and the background of his family surrounding them anytime they need it is super heartwarming. I can’t wait for Garrett’s story!
Athena will break your heart a little bit, but seeing her heal and prosper with Gable’s love surrounding her will make it all go away. She’s special and she’s one that everyone will be able to see just a smidge of themselves in.
I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a fast paced, addictive book that has a whole lot of heart, so much angst and heart wrenching love galore!
