4.5 Star Review by Jennifer Hagen
Tug is the little brother of the man who ended up being
engaged to the woman that he loved from afar for years – his best friend
Tori. Tug was featured in both books in
the Irreparable series and now he has a book of his own. If you have not read the previous 2 books,
you will be able to read Tug without knowing all the back story, but I loved
both Irreparable books and the second one was on my favorite list of 2014, so I
really think you want (and need!) to read them.
And it will help you to understand how Tug has changed; Tori choosing
Brady over Tug broke him. He was once a
happy and carefree young man full of jokes and now he is using sex and booze to
avoid feeling anything.
When I’m with a
woman, it’s not about feeling. It’s
about not feeling. It’s the only time I
forget about Tori. It numbs the pain.
Poor Tug. He is so
heartbroken over Tori that he will do anything to sabotage Tori and Brady. Lucky for him they both fully understand how
much he is hurting and instead of beating him while he’s down, they support him
and still want him standing beside them as they pledge their love for eternity. It doesn’t matter to Tug that in his scheme
he took an unknowing participant with him.
I wanted to get back at her, make her feel my pain, make her suffer a
little for not choosing me.
Maria is trying to keep her head above water taking care
of her ailing grandfather and her son.
She ran far, far away from the father of her child and is hoping that
because he can’t cross the border between Mexico and US that she will be safe
from him. Maria and Tug get off on the wrong foot the
first time they meet, and subsequently after that he places her in a judgmental
position. That is Tug…he doesn’t care how it effects anybody else just as long
as he gets what he wants…be damned the consequences!
And speaking of what he wants…he decides that Maria is
what he wants.
Tug has an image to uphold for the sake of the company
that he and his brother own. The board
of directors is becoming upset with the constant barrage of women that Tug has
been seen with. Maria’s profession
certainly doesn’t fit the bill of what they will see as a positive image. It’s easier to hide her and their relationship
than to deal with the downfall. How long
can one stay hidden from the spotlight?
Not as long as they would like when there’s a person seeking revenge
being cast aside as Tug’s love interest.
All is fair in love and war, right?
Maria has many secrets of her own that she keeps from
Tug. Tug knows that she is hiding
something from him, but he is being a gentleman and not pushing her to reveal
anything. Tug is patient, kind,
generous and loving when it comes to Maria.
Yes, he actually loves somebody besides Tori. In fact he realizes that all the pain that he
felt with Tori’s decision lead him to Maria -- he wouldn’t change a thing. Tug’s ability to love so fiercely and care so
deeply for everyone around him puts a strain on his and Maria’s relationship. Can he really say goodbye to his past and let
go of his ongoing love for Tori? And
when things drastically take a change in their lives, Tug knows for certain
that the love he thought he felt for Tori wasn’t even close to what he feels
for Maria.
“My heart was
waiting for you. It’s yours with all I
have to give.”
Holy mother of cliffhangers. This isn’t one that leaves you breathless
with your heart not beating, but rather
leaves you hanging your mouth open and flipping back through the pages to see
what you could have possibly missed. I
simply adored KJ Bell’s writing in the Irreparable series and this has
definitely carried over into Tug’s story.
Passion, hatred, angst, and desire all wrapped up into one handsome man
will have you wanting to love this broken man and make certain that he ends up
with his happy endin. If you think Tug
is sexy on the cover of the book, just wait until Tug unleashes his sexual powers…oh
my goodness is that man HOT!
Tug’s story captivated me, the writing was excellent, and
the hotness factor was exceptional.
There is nothing bad I can say about this book. I can’t even complain about the cliffhanger
ending because that just means that we get MORE Tug! I’m crossing my fingers that this beautiful
man who has experienced so much heartbreak, will finally get his heart pieced
back together again.
