Once again we find Eric struggling - with himself, his feelings and with life. I love Eric. He is such a tortured soul who has been through hell and back and bears the scars to prove it, but on this installment we get to see another side of him. He is broken and damaged to the point that he can't see that happiness is staring him in the face. He broke my heart. His every emotion was brought to the page beautifully and try as I might I just could not hate him for his actions. Yes, I was disappointed with the way things went, but I could understand where he was coming from.The writing was everything I have come to expect from Cat Grant. It was concise and to the point, with every event placed just right, emotionally charged and hot as hell. There were times when I wanted to shake some sense into Eric then there were times where I just wanted to shelter him from it all. There were elements in the story that I am not comfortable with, especially the cheating, but considering Eric's struggles I decided to overlook it. It helped that Eric struggled with his actions. He was lost and he found some semblance of satisfaction in what he was doing until he realized for himself how wrong it had all gone. I appreciated his regret and his apology to Nick even though I think it was a bit out there on my reality scale, but this is fiction and I'm going with that. I still don't think that he is fixed, but only time will tell how all this will play out.I'm looking forward to the next installment even if the excerpt I read kind of freaked me out. I am committed to see this through to see how these two travel their journey, so I will be reading it regardless.
