Infinite by Cecy Robson
4.0
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
A stunningly heart-warming second chance romance, Infinite is the last book in Cecy Robson's Carolina Beach series.
Hale Wilder spent his childhood fighting to win his fathers love. He was the best student and the best athlete, he grew into a successful business man and took the finance world by storm.
Young, rich, and powerful, Hale was unstoppable. Until a company scandal destroys his reputation and threatens everything he's worked for.
Becca Shields is a public relations goddess, spinning scandals to gold and launching has-beens into superstardom. She never expected to see Hale again, not after the humiliating night when her family caught them on the beach together, barely clothed.
When Becca realises Hal is in trouble she can't turn her back on her childhood friend.. A friend who almost became much more.
I've wanted to read Becca and Hale's story since I first read Inseverable back in 2016, and I am so pleased to say that this novel did not let me down.
Normally I'm not much of a fan of books written with a split first person point-of-view, generally finding it breaks the suspense and pacing of the novel. However I really liked that Infinite was written like from both Hale and Becca's POV, as it allowed you to really get to know them and help understand the complexity of their feelings and motivations.
I loved the chemistry Becca and Hale shared as well as the sexually charged - yet humorous - banter.
I also loved that Becca was such a strong character who built her own family and support network when her biological family was nothing but toxic, was strong enough to take a stand for what was right, achieve her goals, and build a successful life for herself.
Infinite was a perfect ending to an amazing series and is due for release on the 15th August.
'It would be several years before I saw Hale again. It didn’t hurt any less when I finally did. Hale was my friend, confidant, the young man I could laugh with and cry to. The one man in my life I could always count on. He was never supposed to break my heart. And I was never supposed to break his...'

'With every step I take, Becca’s eyes grow wider. No, wilder, and those fists she rammed against her hips? Well, look at that, they slide down very sexy curves I’m looking rather forward to caressing.
“What’s wrong?” I ask when only inches remain between us. “Do I intimidate you?”
She jerks her chin away. “No. I just think if we’re going to have a working relationship, you need to respect my position.”
“Position?” I drawl. “Darlin’, I’ll respect the hell out of whatever position you want.” '

“You were never the problem, Hale. He was.”
“And yet you still chose him,” He fires back, every syllable clipped.
“No,” I say. The word is too simple to carry the weight I feel behind it. My mind flashes back to that night.
My cousins on top of Hale.
The crunch of fists colliding against bone.
The grunts.
The cries of pain.
And my father’s large hand striking me down.
God, if I hadn’t gone to Trin, if her parents hadn’t helped support me, I would have lost my position with the Carolina Cougars and been living in squalor.
And still I would have done it.
“I chose me,” I say, my voice quivering as I remember how hard Daddy hit me. How much he wanted to hurt me. How much that sadistic bastard enjoyed watching me bleed.
