Tug at my heartstrings and make me cry why don'tcha? This book was the most emotional of the series because Brenna's journey was sad to experience but beautiful to witness. Her claustrophobia is something i can relate to, and is probably why I hate large crowds. She orders the largest train car they have but because of the double booking she is forced to share space with Reid. This big brute stole my heart and my panties. I love men in uniform and Reid being a former cop was a huge turn on for me. When he first meets Brenna she is almost in a full on panic about his size in the train car and tries to make him leave. It was so funny seeing Reid's reaction to her telling him he's too big, he immediately has a girly moment thinking she means fat. After giving himself a pep talk he tries to help her by talking out in the open lounge car. As they get to know each other Brenna gets more comfortable with him and confides about her phobias. Reid was really patient and understanding about her fears and did everything he could to help her. The sex between these two was hot but it also gave Brenna something else to focus on besides being afraid. It broke my heart when Brenna and Reid spent a beautiful day together off the train and she couldn't get back on. I was so hoping that Reid had helped her enough and with him being beside her she would be able to. She is upset when the train pulls off without her carrying Reid away. Their whole journey up until this point was fun and sexy and romantic, but my favorite part of this story was Brenna handled her issues on her own. She was able to overcome this final fear of closed spaces without using Reid as a crutch. Him leaving was the catalyst she needed to change. When she gets in her rental car and drives all night to meet him at the next stop I think my skeleton jumped out of my skin! I was so excited and started yelling in my apartment "GO GET YOUR MAN GIRL!". I am sure my neighbors think I am a psycho cat lady who talks to herself. Overall this little novella packed serious drama, romance and heat into a tiny package. (haha I said tiny package!) I will definitely be looking forward to more from this author in the future!
