Aly Martinez knocked this book out of the park. If you have read the first book in the Wrecked and Ruined series you are familiar with Caleb Jones. You don't have to read the first book to fall in love with him, but I would recommend it because 1. it is a really great book and 2. You get a lot more history about they dynamics coming into play in this book.Caleb Jones is a man holding on to anger and hate steaming from one event that stole the life he knew and planned. He is a man stuck, with no one able to offer him the answers he needs to move on. Then Emma Jane Erickson come into the picture she is the first person to pull him out of his hate spiral. However, if you know these characters history you will ask yourself how will it ever work out for them? This book is about love overcoming hate, about letting go and learning to forgive.Caleb and Emma's chemistry is amazing throughout the entire book. You can't help rooting for them. They bring out the best in each other. Love how Caleb is sometimes a jerk but Emma sets him straight. As a couple they compliment each other really well. There is a lightness that Emma brings out of Caleb that makes him even more endearing, if that is even possible. By the end you will want to have a best friend like Emma and your own Caleb Jones.If you read the first book, you will recognize a lot of the secondary characters. It was great to catch up with them and delve into their stories and history a bit more. Aly does a nice job of intertwining the first two books in the series, and although it is not necessary to read the first book to get " Stolen Course" it does make the reading experience more enjoyable.I highly recommend this book. It captures my heart from the first page and held me captive until the last period. I can't wait to get more from Aly Martinez. I feel like she is going to end up becoming a power house writer.
