I think this might be my least favorite KA book of all
time. I didn’t connect with any of the
main characters and I don’t feel like the storyline that we left off with in “Breathe”
was in any way connected. The only redeeming
quality that I found was that someone (the heroine) who had been crapped on her
whole life got retribution and a happy ending.
Zara Cinders is the heroine and she comes from a family
where her father verbally and physically abused her, her sister and her mother
her whole life. Her mother is a broken
women who couldn’t save herself or her children and for this Zara cannot
forgive her. The hero is Graham Reece
whom we meet in the The ‘Burg book #1 “For You”. However, Zara does not call Graham either
Graham or Reece. Either would have been
acceptable. No…she calls him Ham. Yuck! And do you know what he calls her? Cookie!
Terrible, terrible names. KA usually
does a fabulous job in picking out both names and nicknames for her characters,
but she missed the mark with these two.
So Ham comes and goes as he pleases and he has women in all
the many cities that he goes to. The
women know they aren’t exclusive (except when he is with them) and this is how
he functions. This is how we met him in “For
You”. However when Zara when Ham comes
around again she has found a guy who will give her more and he walks away. Of course, this can’t last. We know this.
Her husband isn’t a bad guy but he isn’t Ham (yuck!) so it is doomed to
fail. When next Ham comes to town he
finds Zara is even more broken than she was before (and that is saying a
lot). They do not have good times and
bad things are said. Beyond the story of
Ham and Cookie (I think I just threw up in my mouth) the storyline revolves
around a lot of drama and secrets in Zara’s family and these get resolved.
