Warren Jinkins aka War is the alluring focus of the third book in the Tempest Series. After reading the first two books I knew War’s story was going to be a rough one. And Oh my god it was a doozy. My heart was shredded by this book.  I don’t know how many times my heart physically ached while reading.  It is by far my favorite out of the series to date.When we are reintroduced to War  he has lost everything, his friends, his band, his woman and his mom. War reaches his limit and is at a point where he feels like there is nothing left for him. That is until he meets Shaina a tiny  irrational firecracker, that is insistent on helping War fight his demons. But Shaina is battling darkness of her own and soon realizes that maybe War is the key to saving herself as well.There were so many amazing moments in this book. The touching moments between War and Shaina will melt you into a puddle of mushy gushy love. Mankin gives War such depth in character that you can’t help but feel for him with every fiber of your being. He is so broken yet redeemable, cruel but protective, hateful yet vulnerable. You can clearly feel the struggle of his character. My heart broke for him and every time he showed a vulnerability I fell in love with him even more.I would also have to say that I am head over heels for Alex, Shaina’s close friend and I truly hope we get to see him more in future books. He was the ever loyal, every protective best friend. He loved and defended Shaina with all his being and it was such an added bonus to the storyline.This was a fantastic read with all the right amounts of angst, heartache, and love. Another awesome book from Mankin!
