Timberbridge Boys #5
Malerick & Delilah & Cassian
The single most important emotion I felt throughout this book is “want”. Cassian arrives at Birchwood Springs, buys a bar, and prepares to settle for some time on his assignation. The CSQ, who are working on taking down the Hollow Syndicate, want him there to help on the operation. He didn’t know that Malerick was in town, also on assignment with the FBI, posing as the town sheriff, and with the same purpose. When Cass arrives at Delilah’s coffee shop, finds Mal there, there’s a complete scene all full of emotions, want, lust, longing, guilt, resentment, and a very heavy sexual tension, very little words. That scene was intense!
What came out of that scene and other meet ups, is that Mal and Cass used to work together in the FBI, had a relation that blew up disastrously and left them both full of many regrets and broken feelings. There’s a sense of wanting to belong, wanting love and family, and wanting to be home. As their work progresses, so does the courtship between Delilah, Malerick, and Cassian, all abetted and supported by Rosalinda, Delilah’s mother. She’s anxious to find a spouse for her daughter, wants grandkids. She’s a force to be reckoned in this town; even Cassian, experienced operator that he is, is scared of her.
There’s suspense and there’s sex, in equal amounts. There’s a lot of tension, as Delilah makes her demands and waits for her men to deliver: the truth or nothing. It’s very interesting that Atlas and Keir’s stories happen during the course of this book, so this one takes several months to happen. There seems to be a lot of waiting, and a lot of playing for our throuple. They wanted each other, and they were doing the work, lead by Delilah.
I loved to see them coming home to each other, was biting my nails in the final part of the book where things were coming to a conclusion in unexpected ways. There’s surprises in the book, very intriguing. I actually wanted more of the three as they settle into domestic bliss, so sorry to see them all go.
