First of all, please check trigger warnings because this one starts out INTENSE! Overall, I enjoyed aspects of this book but, ultimately, wished that some areas had been fleshed out a bit more. There were also some elements that seemed unrealistic or needed better explanation (e.g., apparently Jake is a therapist now and knows how to help people with PTSD...no). As a psychologist, when doing exposure therapy, or even when doing trauma-informed therapy, you don't just throw someone back into their trauma and "hold their hand." You need to teach them the therapeutic skills first, assess subjective units of distress (SUDs), and reduce the anxiety...this needs to be done with a PROFESSIONAL, not your boyfriend that you kind of don't trust because he lied to you for several years to "protect" you. Also, why do male characters feel the need to leave the female character in the dark? Don't get me wrong - I will still be continuing on with the series and do think Pam Godwin's writing is good.

this was intense! if you want something angsty with a lot of wild turns, this book is a solid read

why not more stars? it's all jake's fault. he made some really questionable and unhinged choices that didn't sit right with me, especially when it came to his handling of conor's ptsd. 3 stars purely bc it was written well

I completely devoured this book. I was so into it from the beginning with the cute kids who are so in love. Then some terrible stuff happens that changes them all forever. Then I just wanted to cry until about the 50% mark, but it ended so well. I love these characters and I cannot wait to read the other two books. I mean dark cowboy romance? Sign me up!
