Patience is a virtue and on that note, Brad is the most virtuous man I know to wait for Valerie...through Ethan and Jet and her own insecurities. I adore Brad...I was a huge supporter of his during BULLET and yet I always felt a little sympathy for Ethan especially after reading Rock Bottom. BUT Fully Automatic really gives me and the whole world a deeper insight into both Brad and Ethan's true natures and I'm left with I WANT A BRAD!!Fully Automatic is sweet, sexy, playful and gives us a more in-depth picture of Brad as he falls in love with and eventually gets the girl of his dreams. He stands by as the supportive friend (even though he is deeply in love with her), putting his own hurt feelings aside, while she makes up her mind or actually comes to the realization thay THEY were meant to be together. He was always Val's and she was really always HIS even when they were sleeping with/loving other people.Jade Jamison is a beautiful storyteller. She tells it like it is with a lot of heart and passion and damn if her words and scenarios don't bring me to tears one time too many! This book is NOT a re-hash or re-telling of Bullet. You can read this book all by itself and have a complete story of an up and coming rock band and the hungry for fame members...with their ups and downs and various groupies and the big difference is that this is Brad's story and what makes him tick and keeps him motivated...without every having read any of her other books in the Bullet series. But I think that they all stand up on their own merit for different reasons and they all need to be read as well!If you loved the first 3 books you HAVE to pick up and read this one. I never felt like I was reading the same book as before...sure there are some parts that refer to incidents in Bullet (all sequels re-visit in some degree what happened in previous books) however this was so much more in depth and heartbreaking and made me love Brad's character even more than I already did!I wanted to smack Valerie up side the head, throw Ethan in re-hab (WAY before he actually goes) and knock some sense in him and make Brad stand up for himself. But as you will find out when you read FA...he is actually the strongest and most determined person in this series with the biggest heart to stand by and watch the train wreck that is his friend and always be the one to pick up the pieces (while in love with a woman he can't yet have). Beautiful and satisfying 4th book in one of my favorite series!*****5***** Fully Automatic "straight to the heart with a Bullet" stars =)
