FINAL DECISION: Loved this conclusion to Brea and (Pierce) One-Mile's story. I worried that the first book raised expectations that wouldn't be met in the finale, but this one was great and hit all the right notes -- passion, angst, drama, romance, action and plenty of sexy times.
THE STORY: At the end of the first part of Brea and One-Mile's story, the two have fallen in love, but One-Mile's job is dangerous and the people he interact with a threat to Brea. At the same time, Brea is uncertain about One-Mile's feelings and intentions. Misunderstandings abound as these two try and navigate their emotions amid the expectations of those around them.
OPINION: This second part of Brea and One-Mile's story begins with a misunderstanding which sets up the conflict in the story as the players react and set up new situations that the characters need to navigate. I'm not a real fan of misunderstanding conflicts -- especially because this misunderstanding seems to easy to fix. But thankfully, the misunderstanding is resolved and the characters go on to resolve the problem situations they find themselves in.
The story goes really fast and the pacing just compels the readers to gobble the book up quickly.
One thing I really liked is how Pierce is such a tough guy but who is sensitive and haunted by his past. He doesn't really believe that he is good enough for Brea. He has masked his insecurities and self-loathing by his outer toughness and anti-social rudeness. I really love when an alpha hero is just completely undone by a sweet gentle heroine. I like that Brea has morals and convictions but she is not judgmental or unforgiving. She also is certainly willing to go all in when she falls in love.
The prior book had a bit more action, but this part felt more emotional.
WORTH MENTIONING: This book completes Brea and One-Mile's story, but there is an epilogue that sets up the next book in the series. That epilogue leaves the book with a cliffhanger for the next story, but does not disturb the HEA for Brea and One-Mile.
CONNECTED BOOKS: WICKED AFTER EVER is the second part of the story of Brea and One-Mile. The first book, WICKED AS SIN, should be read first. This book also overlaps in time with DEVOTED TO PLEASURE but that book doesn't have to be read to enjoy this one.
STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.
