Between Hadley's complicated, tragic past and Cobi's determination to protect and love her, her heart doesn't stand a chance. She's going to give him one helluva ride on the way, though. But before she can have the future she always dreamed of but never let herself hope for, she finds herself in a bit of trouble. There's another enemy that threatens everything they're building together and if they don't find out who it is and how to stop them they might not have that future they're longing for.
Hadley's past was certainly a doozy. It colored her interactions with everyone and her ideas of what she could really have for herself. If it weren't for her super pushy but incredibly loyal friend she'd be all alone in the world. I loved that she was a strong woman inside, though, and was determined to fight for those without a voice, to give them what she never had growing up. While I wasn't a fan of her constant denial of what Cobi made her feel as well as her stubbornness that got in the way of common sense, I did think she was a good woman worth knowing. Her individual evolution was stunning, especially when we get to see her in the epilogue.
Cobi is a force, that's for sure. I don't feel comfortable with his high-handedness or invasion of space, but I do see that it worked for them. In real life, however, this would be highly suspect. His heart, though, made it clear that he was in it more than just for passion. The family he brought along with him was equally amusing and so full of warmth and love that I felt happy to get to know them all and could see where Cobi got all his attitude and caring from. He was a good match for Hadley and pushed her to believe and trust in more as well as gave her the softness she needed to feel strong on her own.
The drama seemed to be a flash in the pan right in the beginning but it wasn't until the book was nearly over that there was an additional source for a bit of crazy. Throughout the story there were some hints about more and I was frustrated each time it was mentioned and then glossed over. That bothers me in pretty much any book that does that. The issue was a big one for Hadley's profession and yet she didn't really do much to figure out what was going on whenever it came up. Overall, though, it was the individual growth, warmth, and passion that carried the story and gave us a nearly perfect ending.
