They lay themselves bare to each other, and you can just see the love swell and flow over and through them when they’re open and honest with one another. Nearly all of the conflict in the story is from within, but Ezra and Tuesday are terrific at talking through issues, working together, despite the vulnerabilities that still creep up on them when they least expect it. The slow heat that builds over time is some of the best sexual tension I’ve read. But it’s the slow and languorous journey that makes their relationship perfect. There’s immediate attraction between these two, and even though they decide to be friends, the reader knows that eventually everything will explode between them. But then her BFF becomes part of the Hurley family and Tuesday meets Ezra. He now lives a very controlled life, afraid to let go in any way, that addiction again – of any kind – may just do him in for good.įinally getting back into the business of living again after losing her husband,Tuesday is content with her best friends, making her jewelry, and partaking of some good sex here and there. Though he’s been drug free for a few years now, he hasn’t gone back to the world of music, except for his own enjoyment, and his guilt over his treatment of his family when he was so far gone still eats at him practically every second of every day. We definitely get to know the mighty-fine rock star in this book, all his glory and all his guilt.Įzra and his brothers had it all when their band hit the big time, but for Ezra it went a bit too far when he hastened down the dark hole of drugs. Because he’s one of those tortured heroes I love so much to read about. When I met all of the Hurley brothers in the first book in this series, it was Ezra who I wanted to know more about.
