I absolutely LOVE being able to revisit old friends. That's what these characters always feel like once I've read her books. Old friends. Ones you love checking in on and knowing more about. Kristen Ashley does  pretty darn good job of  this in all of her series books and I personally love that once I find a good author. Ta-Da! You will not be disappointed as this is one of those authors!We get to revisit the two main characters that we  meet briefly in prior books set in Colorado, like The Gamble, and the story begins with Sara and Graham Reece. The Gnaw Bone is a frequented bar in the foothills and is the main spot where all the goings on either begin or climax and help the stories unfold. The Bone tends to hold its own as a character in itself! This is where we have  met most of the "old friends" in Chantelle and in this small town. Zara is a well liked local shop owner and former waitress and Reece a former bartender and drifter who hooked  up years prior. This is their story beginning with a sudden reunion following an ax-murdering saga that just came to an end in another state.Follow their ups and downs and ins and outs as they delve back into their past and develop their today and their future.Jagged is at most times an overly wordy emotional spouting piece that is so familiar in writing style and character impression that the language is almost 're-hashed from prior books in the series. Sadly I found myself bored and skipping pages of this familiar syrupy language or gruff and rough "manly" speech style that Kristen so regularly uses in all of he  books starting with Rock Chicks. That's why I gave a four-star review. Other than that, I can't help but to love these crazy and funny and sad and confused and loving characters and so look forward to reading into their stories. Glad Sara and Reece got theirs!!!PS: please Kristen , give old man Cotton his due!! You may find a bigger reader audience of you grab those young seniors!! :)
