Judgement #3
Tex & Salem
I’m gobsmacked that this book ended in a cliffhanger. I need to finish this story! Rome and Salem’s story is epic, romantic, full of the dual tones I always find in Abbi Glines stories. Part gritty passion, part tender romance.
Salem and Rome were high school sweethearts, he loved her since she was sixteen and waited until she was almost eighteen to be together. But when his mother died, and following her request, he let Salem go so she could have a future studying art in college. It broke both of them, and they never felt complete until they meet again, eighteen years later.
I loved the romance of the story, hurt for Salem because there was always an unhappy secret in her life. She had been married to a good man who loved her completely but there was guilt because she couldn’t give him all she had. I cried several times because of this, when she felt so guilty and hurt for loving Rome.
I was angry at Rome several times, because instead of being tender and understanding, he was rough, rebelled against his feelings, tried to make the situation trivial when it was quite heartbreaking.
I loved the women of the MC who befriended Salem and made her feel one of the group. I was a little appalled at the sleazy component of the MC. The presence of some women in scanty clothes parading their lady bits around, being used by all and any of the men was a little ghastly to read. I think previous books didn’t have such blatant imagery.
The book ends in a cliffhanger and I’m gasping to know what’s the future for Salem and Rome. I was beginning to get excited because Rome is just starting to be besotted, just like I like these men to be. Can’t wait for the next one!
