My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I think the author ends the plot in 50% of the file and the rest drag. I noticed this in the other books in the series.
The hero is in doubt up to 95% of the story and I was already pissed off because nothing happened.
I think the most interesting thing was to see the evolution of the story about Kelly and Vaughan and how badly she was treated by the mother-in-law of hell.
========================
“I get caught up in it. It’s like he gets near and all my parts samba. He’s powerful. He takes up oxygen and space. He’s big and sexy. So. Sexy. I can’t even with how sexy he is.”
“Tuesday, it’s so good to see you, honey.” His mother came over and pulled Tuesday into a hug. He hid his annoyance at having to let her go. His mother winked at him once she broke the hug with Tuesday.
===>Kelly & Vaughan
Sharon’s mouth flattened just a tiny bit. Ezra knew his mother didn’t like Vaughan’s ex.
And yet, when he toured, it was Kelly who was there every single day. Kelly who gave up a lucrative career in modeling to stay near and raise the girls near their father. Kelly who dealt with the daily slog that parenting could be.
Tuesday knew what it meant to feel like an outsider. Here, even in this woman’s home she was outnumbered by Hurleys. For that reason, Tuesday really liked Kelly from the very first smile.
“I don’t know. I should let it go. He’s good to the girls. They both really like him. They’d make a family together, his part and her part.”
Vaughan, these are your women. Your children and your woman. Why are you even hesitating?”
Vaughan’s anguish was clear on his features. “Do you think I like it? I hate it. But what can I do, Ez? I walked away. I wanted a divorce and she gave me one and this is what the price of that act is. I made my decision and it fucked up everything. But I can’t take it back.”
Claim your family. Be worthy of them.”
Kelly approached with a very good-looking guy, who was clearly the fiancé everyone pretended Vaughan wasn’t upset by.
“Vaughan isn’t a bad man.” Kelly began to speak as she arranged the jewelry and took pictures of it. “He just didn’t want a life with me and the girls. It took me a really long time to get over that.”
Tuesday believed in her gut when it came to meeting people. Kelly fit into Tuesday’s life a lot like Natalie had. Pretty much instantly. Which Tuesday believed was exactly what was supposed to happen.

“Your mother is my hero. For. Real.” Ezra laughed. “She’s a goddamn pain in my ass. But she’s pretty amazing.”
==>OW<==
He didn’t really chat about his private life with the woman he’d been seeing in Portland. He drove to her place, fucked her for a few hours and drove back.
He hadn’t been to Portland since November.
“He’s a risk, Nat. He’s scared and skittish and there are times I know he’s deliberately not calling or seeing me. Times he holds back. There’s so much grief in him. Guilt. I may never get through his defenses.”
Each day without her, the energy had built along with the craving.
“Okay then. Once every few weeks I used to head to Portland because there’s a woman there who I liked fucking. She liked being fucked. She liked it a little rough and that’s what I had for her. I never met her friends. I never mentioned her name to you or anyone I know. Everyone got off and no one cared much beyond those hours we spent together. That was all I needed.”
“He’s white,” Shawn said. “Oh my god!” She paused, slapping a hand over her heart. “He is?” Her mother chuckled.
“Is Vaughan ever going to tell her the whole story? Why things broke?” “That’s between Vaughan and Sharon. The only way I can envision this second chance working is for him to make sure he will always be between us because I’m not going to tolerate any shit from her this time around.”
He’d sort of been feeling that this thing with Tuesday was substituting one addiction with another
“She’s my girlfriend so yes, I care about her. Too early for love.”
And he’d been testing himself to see how long he could stay away. Needing to know.
Ten days without seeing her had made him hungry for the sight of those curls and the upward tilt of her mouth.
“I nearly lost who I was. It took years to live a normal life again. Yes, I’m afraid of falling back into that.”
==>95%<==
“I’m freaked the hell out. I can’t do this until I have it straight.”
“You need to figure stuff out first, Ezra. I can’t be something you relegate to a resentful addiction. Something you are powerless against. I’m not heroin. I’m not a bad thing at all and I can’t be with anyone who thinks that.”
I want you to love me back and you’re not ready. So, I’m going home.
