Cristin Harber you have done it again! Brock stole my heart at the end of Westin's Chase and Gambled is the continuation of Brock's story.I was heartbroken when I read about Brock in Westin's Chase and had to stop and download Gambled so I could read them back to back. I had to have a happy ending for Brock.Brock had hit rock bottom after losing his job at Titan and then losing his wife and kids. He couldn't see past his grief at the wrong choices he had made, until the Titan boys woke him up and laid his choices out for him. I felt so sorry for Brock and the choices he had made in the heat of the moment, all to protect his family and I was so happy to see that the rest of the team, well all but Jared, hadn't given up on him. God I love those Titan men, all that alpha, bad-ass, testosterone flying around as well as caring, loyal friends, always there when you need them.Gambled gave us more Sarah and she really showed strength and courage to do what she did in this novella. She stood up for herself, surviving the trauma of being kidnapped and in Gambled, she also stood up for the relationship that she had and the relationship she now wanted. What started out as a Brock giving it his all to get Sarah back, soon became another danger filled situation that they had to navigate together.I think I said it in my review for Westin's Chase but I love the way Cristin writes her characters and I loved the way she wrote Brock and Sarah. It was a perfect storyline for this pair and a great continuation of the Titan series. It was only a novella in length, and while I could have read a lot more about this pair, I didn't feel the story was rushed or missing details. I thought there was a great balance between the action scenes and the hot, reader-melting love scenes. Both characters had to really face their fears and admit their weaknesses to each other and to themselves. This made them so much more real and believable as they worked through their issues together and became stronger for it.The epilogue - perfect!Well done Cristin, bring on more Titan!
