Adam is the second book in the 7 Brides for 7 Soldiers series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone story. Adam and his brother along with friends they met in detention in high school make up the 7 soldiers who have served in the various branches of the military. These 7 men have remained the best of friends and are always there for each other when needed.
After leaving the Coast Guard following losing a teen on a rescue, Adam Tucker has plans to open a youth camp in his hometown. Of course where he wants to set up the camp needs major work and he has a short amount of time to get it finished thanks to the bet he makes with his twin brother Zane. When Jadyn shows up to help out with interior decorating for the camp, I have to say I didn't love seeing Adam blow her off so quickly initially. She was exactly what he needed to win the bet with Zane and make his dreams come true.
Jadyn "Jane" McAllister really is an interior decorator, but Jadyn isn't her real name. She is in hiding thanks to doing a decorating job for someone in a major drug cartel. Now I'll say right up front, I totally questioned how Jane was told to go off the grid and hide under another name without having a contact in the area where she was going. I really did like Jane from the moment we met her and knew that Adam did as well, even as he could tell she was hiding something. I loved her ideas to bring the history of the town into the boathouse where the troubled teens would stay at the camp. I loved that Jane needed to learn more about the area to finish up the boathouse, which meant meeting Adam's grandfather and the the other men who named Eagle's Ridge. It also allowed Adam and Jane more time together, and for their chemistry and connection to grow.
I really enjoyed watching Jane and Adam fall for one another. It wasn't and easy path for either of them, but it was the right path for them. I really loved the chemistry between them and loved how their differences made them work as a couple. I really did love that Adam cared enough about Jane pretty early on to check in on the story with friends who had connections. I hated that Jane didn't initially understand his motivation at first, and wanted her to trust him more. I loved that Adam ended up showing Jane he would do everything in his power to always protect her.
Roxanne St. Claire once again gives her readers a wonderful story that at time keeps you on the edge of your seat reading. The romance between Adam and Jane was strong and I loved getting to meet so many other characters from the series.

I said this with the first book in the series - I love this town. The idea of a series where the town as much a character as the hero and heroine are some of my favorites. What makes this series better is that since it is multiple authors and a book is released each week we dont have a long wai, we also get introduced to the other characters little by little before the hero's title
Adam is a twin (as a Mom to twins I have a soft space in my heart for charactwrs who are twins) and older brother to Bailey. Bailey and Ryder's romance might be thawing out the feud between the Tuckers and Westbrooks. He has made a bet with his twin and nothing will stop him from making his bunkhouse remodel happen. Jadyn might be the perfect person to help him with his vision.
Adam is a character I could love from the first page. I felt for his personal pain, and I could agree with his caution with the mysterious designer.
Jadyn as a character was hard for me to embrace. Not only was she guarded with Adam, but I felt she was guarded with the readers too.
My favorite part the continuity with book 1, it is so good.
I am working hard to read the new title each week....what a great idea
