T.A. by Jamie BegleyMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
2 ⭐⭐ - Meh!
-------------
I can't even express my disappointment.
What happened to the author's writing?
It has completely changed in the last books that I can no longer recognize her voice or style in the story.
An insipid story and with annoying heroes that ends abruptly and unsatisfactorily.
I got annoyed even with the Biker Bitches, and I've always liked them a lot.
The story dragged on and it took me 3 days to finish, simply because nothing kept me interested.
The author reveals a secret that leaves a hook for the next book, but I confess I'm scared.
I was very sad. Moving on.
“I’ve never been accused of being smart.” Holding her hand out, she introduced herself. “I’m T.A.”
Dalton walked to the counter. “Because I think you’re attracted to me, and the feeling is not mutual.”
“It was never my intention to try to replace Oceane.”
“I think you want us to be more than friends.”
“Yes. I’m the filler.
What’s a filler?”
“You know, like when one of them wants someone to go shopping with them when everyone else is busy, or someone to go to movies with that no one else wants to see, or take to dinner, so they don’t have to eat alone in a restaurant. That’s a filler.
He didn’t want to move on from Oceane; he wanted his heart to stay right where it belonged.
“Don’t, T.A. I’ve already told you I’m not ready for another relationship.”
“You must have loved her very much.” He didn’t try to hide the wrenching pain her words had raised. “I still do. I always will.” She nodded. “She wouldn’t have liked me, would she?” “No.”
She would never be able to measure up to Oceane.
“The problem is, I feel like I’m cheating on Oceane every time I fucking look at you.”
“I swore to Oceane that she would be the only woman I would love and that I’d never touch another woman.”
“It was a promise I made when she married me, and when she was dying.”
It’s a bunch of horse hockey that she didn’t try to convince you that she didn’t want you to remain alone. That’s some next level bitchy and makes me not like her.”
“You are the most irritating female I have ever met. How many times have I told you I want our relationship to stay platonic, and it just blows right over your head? Not only are you irritating, but you’re pushy. You texted me at least thirty times if I was coming. Let’s not even go into you texting Grace for my favorite recipes and food, and Dax for my favorite movies to watch.”
The overwhelming pleasure was one he hadn’t experienced in so long that it brought a pang of guilt. Stiffening, he released her and took a step back.
“I hope you take vitamins. You’re going to need them.”
“Did you fucking touch her?” Keeping her focus on Dalton, she ignored the shouts and loud voices coming from the front of the club. “No,” he hoarsely admitted. She believed him. “But you were going to, weren’t you?” “Yes.”
She believed that too. “Fuck you.” She let all the hurt she was feeling show in her face. “I was never going to be good enough for you, was I?”
“Have you ever loved anyone so much you considered them your soul mate?”
“Oceane was mine. I fell for her the moment I saw her, and she said the same. I was never unfaithful to her for all the years we were married, nor after. It made me sick to my stomach to even think of touching another woman. If I couldn’t have Oceane, I didn’t want one who wasn’t her.
“Your happiness matters just as much to me.” She looked at her sister with love-filled eyes that would have to be hidden the moment someone grew close. It was a choice T.A. had made when she was too young to understand the recriminations to the pain it would put them through. The only other choice was an expense in hell that their parents had planned for Ginny.
