About the book:
The author of Into the Blue and Fly with Me returns with the newest, hot and high-flying Wild Aces romance...
A year after losing her husband, Joker, the squadron commander of the Wild Aces, Dani Peterson gets an offer from his best friend, Alex “Easy” Rogers, to help fix up her house. Dani accepts, and their friendship grows—along with an undeniable attraction.
Racked by guilt for loving his best friend’s widow, Easy’s caught between what he wants and can’t have. Until one night everything changes, and the woman who’s always held his heart ends up in his arms. Yet as Easy leaves for his next deployment, he and Dani are torn between their feelings and their loyalty to Joker’s memory.
But when Dani discovers something that sends them both into a spin, the conflicted lovers must overcome the past to navigate a future together…
My Thoughts:
On Broken Wings
was an emotional story of both finding love after loss, and of unrequited
love. I’ve been waiting for Easy’s story
for a while since witnessing his yearning for the one woman he couldn’t have
from the beginning of this series, and I was not disappointed!
Easy’s been in love with Dani ever since he laid eyes on her
not knowing at first that she was the wife of his squadron commander, Joker. Upon
finding that out Easy resigned himself to loving Dani from afar, knowing he’d
never move on a married woman. Since the
death of Joker it’s been both heaven and hell to be around Dani, thinking she’ll
never feel the same for him. But Dani
needs him now more than ever, and Easy’s determined to be there for her even as
it breaks his own heart.
Dani was drowning in grief, never thought she’d feel desire
again, but the stirrings of it surface when she starts to look at Easy in a new
light. She’s always felt a special bond
with him, especially since he’s been there for her during the roughest times in
her life, but only ever thought of him as a friend. Hanging around with him, taking comfort in
their closeness gradually changes her feelings, and she’s blindsided by the
lust she feels for him.
This romance was a slow buildup; something that crept up on
Dani before she even realized and took root in her heart. I cried several times, but I think my heart
went out to Easy even more, maybe because I’ve had his side of things from the beginning;
felt his painful longing for a women he thought he could never have. Unrequited
love brings a special kind of torture, and I wanted Easy to get his HEA so
badly!
I read On Broken
Wings in one sitting consumed by Easy and Dani’s story! I’ve loved this
series so much reading all three books within a week! I hope this isn’t the last book of the
series, because I’m not ready to say goodbye to this world yet!
