Kensa and Denver are married. But not for long... or so Kensa thinks. The story opens with Kensa walking into her home, surprised to find her husband there, who's furious because she had him served with divorce papers. He doesn't want a divorce, but she says it's not up to him. How can he get his wife to see she's all he needs?
Okay, so the heat between them burned up my Kindle. Wow. They are so hot and their frustration and anger making them hotter was so very relatable and written perfectly. I do love me some forced proximity, and a little kidnapping goes a long way, lol. The beauty of CCJ is that you can see the layers in what she puts on the page. Because I knew from the beginning that besides being a mark of their incredible passion, that all of that anger was hiding some pain. And whoa it sure was. It broke my heart, and I almost teared up myself. Kensa and Denver getting swept away by grief and feeling guilty for drifting, and then piling anger on to cover it was a complete journey in such a short time and I felt every bit of it. The writing was so great. Their reconciliation including therapy was beautiful. And the vow renewal was special.
Plus, I connected a dot! Lol. Having read the Predator's series, I recognize Nessa. Reading how her and Blue got together should be fun.
