Two broken souls find a way to heal eachother. What an amazing journey Ms. Ferraro takes us on. I'm kicking myself for not starting this series sooner! Even though Breaking Spades is book 4 in the Hamden series, this can be read as a standalone. Be warned, if you are just like me and you started with Breaking Spades, once you are done, you will be itching to start at the beginning.Full of hilarious banter, steamy love scenes, and suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat, Breaking Spades will have you hooked. I couldn't get through the pages fast enough. The characters were great, the chemistry was there and incredibly intense, and the backstory was heartbreaking. You will fall in love with Jarod Gates and Cecille "CeCe" Cervetti. You will have no choice but to care for them and want what's best for them, even though, at times, you might want to smack them around a bit for their stubbornness.❝Admit it, I make you feel all warm and fuzzy.❞❝Yeah, like an ugly Christmas sweater.❞The beginning of Breaking Spades had me instantly in tears. I didn't know how Ms. Ferraro was going to redeem her hero after that madness. Don't worry, she does, in a major way! CeCe had her heart-broken in a way that you think will never mend. A young girl's dream of happily ever after, gone in an instant. That event has shaped the way CeCe deals with love and relationships. Her heart is surrounded by heavy walls, and no one is getting even close to breaking those walls...again.❝I'll just chalk it up to the fact you're an ***hole. We're square on that front, now.❞Jarod Gates, you sexy, sexy man. How I would like to slap you! Jarod lost his mom in a horrific accident when he was young. His father gave him an ultimatum, get out or ship out to the military. So, the military it was. Events occurred that left him hurting and feeling like less of a man. Through all these horrible circumstances, he still remembers CeCe and the horrible way he left things with her. He will do anything to make it up to her.❝I may have climbed my way out of hell, but for you, I'm willing to go back at a moment's notice.❞Can a love that was once destroyed ever be repaired? You bet your ass it can! No matter how stubborn and sarcastic the people involved are. Not only are Jarod and CeCe dealing with their conflicting feelings for one another, but CeCe has her very own stalker that is very persistent. Jarod will do anything to keep her safe, no matter how much she *****es and complains. At first CeCe doesn't take it seriously and she has her suspicions, but it gets more intense and more dangerous. You are constantly guessing on who the culprit may be, and believe me I was shocked when I finally found out who it was. You won't see it coming people!❝You deserve better than me. You deserve all the happiness in the world, and if I had even a shred of decency in me, I would walk away from you, but I can't.❞When all the dust settles, and the bad guys are put away, and second chances are given, you will understand why Breaking Spades was such a great romantic suspense. It has everything you need to keep you satisfied: steamy, passionate sex scenes, heart-pounding suspense, and a love story that will melt your heart. Thank you W. Ferraro for a wonderful romance and a perfect epilogue. I applaud you my dear! Well done!*Gifted Copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
