Jack Davenport has always been sort of a mystery man flying in and out of Eternity Springs in his helicopter. He certainly helped save Gabe Callahan's life in the first book of the series, Angel's Rest. However we never really got to know him as a person. Now we find him to be a rescuer in the fullest sense of the word. As the book begins he is abducting his ex-wife, Cat and flying her to his home, Eagles Way, in Eternity Springs to protect her from folks angry about some investigative journalism that she had published.
I really liked the way Emily March used flashbacks to let us see into Jack's and Cat's former lives. It really explained how their relationship grew and then floundered. Could it be revived again? Both Jack and Cat's characters are very likable although at time it seemed as though Jack's arrogance came through.
I love seeing the characters from the former books entwined in each others lives. It promoted a desire in me for that sort of community that is so often missing in our society and for which we all yearn and need.
The humor that surrounded the bachelorette party for Sarah had me laughing hysterically. It just shows the range of emotions that March is able to draw out in her readers. Yes, I went from laughter to tears at some points in the story.
So who will be the focus of the next book? Will it be Zack, the sheriff or some other character who has shown up in Eternity Springs. I am rooting for Zack!!
If you haven't read any of the Eternity Springs series, please start with the first, Angel's Rest as each book really builds upon the previous ones. They are all excellent and highly recommended.
