I think the author had the titles mixed up, because this one should have been called "Shocking Heaven" as I was shocked throughout the entire book.I have always loved Boss. He had such a heart and was the night and shining armor to those in need. My heart constricted throughout the book as I was so torn with his love for Jenn, decisions he was making and the push and pull of emotion he sometimes had.From the start Jenn had my heart breaking. A victim of domestic violence at the hands of her husband, who also happens to be someone Boss knows well. How is one of many surprising secrets that come to light later in this book. Falling in love with Boss as a teenager, she always held onto the memory and love to get her through life. Unfortunately she could never be with the love of her life because of her husbands threats to kill him if she left.After Jenn's encounter with the band and the shock of seeing Boss after all these years the band is fully aware of who she is and what she means to Boss. Lucky for Jenn, Bulk recognizes the signs of her abuse and they develop a friendship. He helps watches over her, rescues her and supports her when she fears. What Boss was to E in book one, Bulk is to Jenn in book 2.I was so happy that I didn't spend the entire book with Jenn fighting Boss to stay away, which is what I expected. Instead Jenn listened to Bulk, left her husband's abuse and admitted her love to Boss and why she was not with him. They had a second chance but at what price.I despised and hated the husband. He tortured this woman, beat her within inches of her death only holding his grip on her as a sort of revenge for her cheating and falling in love with boss years ago. Boss goes to extremes to protect Jenn, and I get why. Even the point Boss had to make to get Jenn to forgive him made sense, but I felt everything Jenn felt. My heart shattered along with hers and I understood her thoughts and emotions completely. Even now as I finished the book and already read the next my heart has a missing piece towards Boss, a man I once adored. But life isn't perfect or rosey and unfortunately forgiving is sometimes easier than forgetting.The end has a twist that I never saw coming nor expected. Did I expect something - yes, but never saw this. All I can say is sometimes love has a price and for these two the price was pretty hefty.
