Oakley Spurlock is dying.
She only has weeks to live thanks to a freak infection that totally and completely destroyed her kidneys.
Despite her family's desperation, not a single one of them is a match.
In a last-ditch attempt, Oakley's father takes to social media to bed for help to save his daughter's life.
Pace Vineyard is lost. So lost, in fact, that he's not sure he wasnts to be found.
But then a beautiful woman's face is splashed across social media, and Pace finds a spark in his soul for the first time since a bomb went off beside him.
He's already missing two legs. What's one more kidney?
At least, that's what he tells himself.
What he doesn't expect is to give his heart to the woman, too. Or for the woman to run away with it and force him to follow.
I have such a hard time with this author's books lately. I'm
honestly now sure why, or what changed...but they're so hit or miss for
me.
I didn't hate this one, but I can't say I loved it either.
I have to say that the beginning was good. I enjoyed getting to
know Pace. I actually really liked him. I'm not sure I really felt the
connection between him and Oakley though. And I'm not quite sure that I ever
really got to know Oakley. When she was first told she needed a new
kidney, she was lamenting about what she was going to lose (her job, the
life she currently had), which was fine, normal even...I had no problems with
that. But she commented twice about how she had worked so hard to get her
degree and the job she'd wanted...but I never know what that was, what she was
really losing. It was all just vague and it left me feeling like I didn't
really know her.
I found the middle of the story to be a little boring, it seemed
to drag a little. Oakley really wanted to sleep with Pace, but he was trying to
take it slow and I was just a little bored with it. That was Oakley's biggest
concern.
Once things started to pick up with Pace's family showing up
again, things started moving quickly and they got really interesting.
The other complaint I have, is that the author is now focusing
on the second generation characters, and because she has so many books, I'm
having a hard time connecting the parents with their own books. And when the
parents, aunts, uncles, MC club members start showing up, I feel like I need a
diagram/family tree to keep all of them straight.
Overall, this wasn't a bad book, and I'm sure to be in the
minority on my feelings about it, so give it a try, you'll probably love
it.
