Hell Bent

Portland Devils, Book 5

De: Rosalind James

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Teddy Hamilton

Even princesses have problems.

Alix: That line doesn’t exactly invite sympathy, does it? I was a fairly ersatz princess anyway, although you should try convincing my mother of that. And when I ran away from my family, my tech-bro groom, my almost-Stanford degree, and our fabulous future and right back to my trailer-living, hard-hatted life? Even I couldn’t explain it to anybody’s satisfaction.

Sebastian: I’d lived my life by one rule: don’t get attached. When you’re on your sixth team, your third country, and your second sport, that’s a pretty good rule, and it worked fine until some lowlife dumped his aging Golden Retriever at a rest stop right in front of me. Until I ran into a woman wearing a spangled cocktail dress, zero makeup, and a ponytail in the dog-food aisle at Target, and then kept on running into her. Until my new All-Pro teammates insisted on befriending the kicker, like they’d never read the handbook.

Oh, and until my sister dumped my teenage nephew on me. On Christmas. So much for rules.

Rosalind James best

Wow!! This book was amazing. So often long books lag or feel padded but not Hell Bent. It did an excellent job of describing feelings related to a loved one’s death and dealing with grief. The story also revolved around working through problems and being able to rely on others. I don’t leave a review unless I think the book (audiobook) is a don’t miss. For the audiobook the narrators were outstanding and complimented the story.

The best kind of emotional roller-coaster!

Sebastian is the best kind of male lead, and Alix is a girl after my own heart! Strong, courageous, and a bit too stubborn for her own good. This book grabbed my attention right away, and only made me want to devour it faster as the pages went on. It was the best kind of emotional roller-coaster! Yes, it had it's depressing moments, but they make the sweet, loving, tender moments so much more impactful. I cried. More than once. This is not a book that skirts over the hard topics. It is a journey, not only as individuals, but as a couple and as a family where they truly find themselves. I've missed Rosalind's writing so much, and this story was so worth the wait! And I am so looking forward to book 6 later in the Fall!
