I absolutely love this series. And am so excited that
now we are moving along to the women in the family. Watching them all find there,
“boom” is like catching up on the latest family gossip. This story obviously
starts with June and Evan. The two were previously married and because of past
demons found it difficult to stay together.
June is very sassy. She isn’t the average damsel in
distress type chick. Although granted in the beginning of this story she finds
herself on the wrong side of the law. I won’t reveal too much but let’s just
say June sure can pick them. Because of her situation she finds herself right
back in the crossfires of her former husband. Evan is the strong silent type.
He’s one to never giving much a way but he loves June fiercely and has gone
through great lengths to protect her not only from himself but any other danger
out there.
With June & Evan I honestly didn’t feel much of a
connection between the two characters. I think it’s because they had this
relationship previously and as a reader I wanted more of “flashbacks” of their
time together. When we meet the two the relationship is already established and
they are trying to find their way back to love. As a reader I wanted more
insight on how they got together. Granted the author does about 40% in get down
to rawness of why Evan left her. At times I felt like nothing was happening
i.e. the intruder incident as soon as it happened it was quickly dismissed. One
of the highlights for me was the girls all getting together for a night of fun
and laughs.
Although I do enjoy this series this story was a bit
slow at times. As I was reading I was waiting for something anything to happen
it felt as though it was dragging everything was described including her
bedding, the cars, bikes, etc. With the other stories I felt like it was more
development and build up with the characters. For instance, in this story Evan
gets drunk says some things and June apologizes, gets drunk and they are in bed
together and working on one day at a time. For me I felt like something was
missing or I just wasn’t getting “connection.” I will say that I am very much
so looking forward to Ashlyn’s book. This book may have not been my favorite in
the series but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is a great writer
and I look forward to reading the other stories in the series. Please judge
this book for yourselves and not based on this one review.
