Received an ARC for an honest review.
I have read and loved this entire series. Lucky enough to receive Arcs for my blog to read and review I didn't really know what I was going into with this one. I knew it had Nix and Kadence and that was all I knew. WOW! River could probably write about Unicorns from an Alien planet and it would be awesome! She is that author you just "one click" and know you will love it!
She touched on a subject that is familiar to not only myself, but I am sure to many women out there. Showing Kadence at such a low point in her marriage and struggling was heart breaking. My heart hurt for both Kadence and Nix. Watching Kadence go through this hell. What happens when one or both of you lose your way...... when you can't just wake up one morning and fix it.
We saw a side of Nix that hasn't been too familiar to us. He truly showed some emotions that normally we don't see from this big Alpha male. Wanting to help Kadence and not really knowing how to "fix her". He feels helpless. At one point, I honestly thought - this is it. Nix is about to go stick his Dick in a club whore! I thought their marriage wasn't going to survive any of this. My thought process went as follows - Oh Fuck.....Nix is about to stick his dick in a club whore.....then I was like OH FUCK... NIX IS ABOUT TO STICK HIS DICK IN A CLUB WHORE! Hey....I won't lie. I love that shit in these books. Nix has to find his dominant side again without pushing Kadence away further. So, in order to "reclaim" this and his wife.... we have what was the funniest shit ever thrown in....... a scene that was fucking hilarious!
"I think my wife broke my cock, Doc!"
There were many emotional moments too.... a few that made my heart ache....
"Jesus, Kadence. The only fuckin' time I touch you is in my sleep. Don't fuckin' take that from me too. Don't push me away when I'm hangin' on by a fuckin' thread. I miss you, baby. I miss your hands, your smile. Fuck I miss your face."
"You don't have to be alone. Let me learn to breathe the ugliness you see. Let me share the darkness, Kadence. Just don't push me away."
And to lighten the mood when possible.....let's not forget Jesse. =) Always there to throw out some humor..... "Do you remember that time Nix broke his Dick?"
She showed us through Nix and Kadence what this "illness" is capable of. The emotional and the physical struggles. What a marriage goes through. BUT - she brought it back. The Nix and Kadence we love returned towards the end. Kadence, reclaims her life and Nix Reclaimed her! Oh boy.... did he ever..... just remember "Love isn't a fight, it's worth fighting for"
The two of them show that through all the struggles - their devotion and love for one another was stronger.
Five Fan-Fucking-Tastic stars River!
