Review: Lane & Raegan
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 23, 2014
The first two books have quite a bit of angst & I don't know if I was disappointed or grateful that this one doesn't. The book starts out strong - we are years down the road, our characters are out of college & working for Jaxson & Jace's security business. A lot has happened in Lane's life in this timeframe - marriage, a baby daughter, and a kidnapping. Poor Lane is desperate to find his baby girl Kate who is now 4 years old. He is trained as a fighter to get into a fighting ring in Tijuana in hopes of finding the man who took Kate. But not only was Kate taken but also her nanny Raegan & her son Braden. At first Lane would like to blame everything on Raegan for not being protective & careful but Lane soon finds out that wasn't the case at all & has to respect the lengths Raegan went to protect those little kids. While Lane & Raegan are thrown together for the sake of the kids they start to become really close. Raegan is the coolest chick - instead of letting misunderstandings or insecurities stew in her mind, she talks everything out with Lane. Kate has only known Raegan & believes that is her mother, just like Braden has never known his father & is becoming super close to Lane. A nice little twist to the story - a surprise as to how these three were kidnapped & who instigated the whole thing, very sad! I expected the bottom to drop out at some point but Lane & Raegan are solid people & appreciate the second chance they've been given & don't take anything for granted. No one is allowed to stand in the way of their happiness & the happiness of their new little family. I wish this series would continue - I loved to see how Jace & Audrey, Jax & Emerson, and Cole & Quinn were doing with their new homes in Texas, becoming adults, growing families, and yet they kept their fun quirky personalities. Great book!
