BOOK REVIEW

 

 

Duncan “Ducky” Reigns, metalhead and hardcore gamer, has spent his life railing against the establishment. But now when he looks at himself in the mirror that’s not the person he sees. Though he and his brother have worked hard to create a successful multi-million-dollar company, he’s lost himself and his identity in the process.

Chad Reeves, successful in his own right, has achieved every goal he’s set for himself. But living up to the legacy of his uber-successful father feels like an impossible task. When the heavy burden of a lifelong secret begins to unravel, he’s forced to face the truth. He’s lacking in what matters the most and only one thing can make it right.

Sometimes a simple reboot is all it takes to realize the answers are right in front of you. A soul-searching trip to paradise changes everything for two best friends… if they are brave enough to follow their hearts and reach for the Level Up.

Book 2 in this Reigns Brothers series, Ducky is the younger brother of Dallas from book 1 (Breakaway) – he is the computer whiz and geek behind their newly successful SteamTrainer business, the company he started with Dallas. He’s very much an introvert, only socializing with his friends online when he is gaming, he’s not the fitness type, nor the fashion type, just happy to be who and where he is with his computer.

With the huge success of SteamTrainer, Ducky has been asked to present at an Awards Ceremony, and so for the past 6 months Greer (Dallas’ boyfriend) has been helping him get fitter and improve his wardrobe.

Chad is one of his best friends, they game online together, speak and message on the phone, but have never met in person. Chad is at a bit of a crossroads with her life both personally and professionally. He always wanted to be a golfer, now he doesn’t, and he’s not sure which way to turn. He’s has always harboured a secret desire for Ducky, but he thinks his friend is straight so has never gone there.

Dallas rewards Ducky for all his efforts with SteamTrainer to a 2 week luxury holiday, and Ducky decides to take Chad with him. Ducky struggles to keep his feelings for his friend to himself, not knowing Chad feels the same way about him. Both men are having some difficulties in their lives, neither quite realising just how well suited they are together. What they both do know is how well they get on together and how much at peace they feel in each other’s presence.

This was a good read, I enjoyed the slow burn between them, watching their friendship progress to more. They are so well suited together!!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.
