Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 9, 2014
This is Audrey Decker's story. You met Audrey in For Nicky, she was a hateful person. Used sex to control people, and never cared who she hurt in the process. Was disrespectful and mean to other people. Now she is therapy to get through why she is that way. So much happened to her through her most formidable years. Jeremiah Jordan served in the Army and now is out and just wants to take care of his son Beckett and be the best father he can be. Not interested in dating, he had enough with his past and Becketts mother. His parents live close by and his life is the way he wants it. He meets Audrey when she is referred to him for planning his sons party. They have an instant attraction but neither are ready to move on and have a relationship. To much baggage between the two of them.I loved the story, you get to visit with all the wonderful characters of For Nicky. It was hard to see Audrey in a new light. You pretty much hate her in the first book. Everyone deserves a second chance. Here Audrey gets hers. You got to love Jeremiah, a wonderful caring man, his world is his son and giving him the best possible life he can. He doesn't trust women and with Audrey's past it makes it that much harder. Until Beckett steps in. For such a young guy he is wonderful. He sees the world in a unique way. You do something wrong, you say your sorry and you move on. No matter the problem, how big or small. What we as adults make so hard, Beckett turns them into simple things.This book takes you through a wide range of emotions. I found myself crying a lot both happy tears and sad. Cheering characters on at times and others screaming NO at the book.A.D. Ellis does a fantastic job with the ending of the book. You get a look into the lives of all the characters from both books. While Because of Beckett is a stand-alone, it is better read after For Nicky to learn the whys of the characters.
