Breaking Through the Pain by Haven Hadley
3.0
“Thank you for catching me.”
This was a tough one.. for multiple reasons.
There were also some happy and great parts to this book.
Lincoln & Devon are complete opposites.
The damaged vet & a professional hockey player.
This book is heavy, the subject matter in this book is sensitive.
My heart broke for these two but more so for Lincoln. Devon tries to be there but there is only so much you can do in that situation before giving into what the person affected wants.
The angst and slow buildup was fantastically done. Getting both sides made everything that much more meaningful. Both of these guys have their inner demons but Lincolns grabbed ahold of me in a completely different way.
I personally did not agree with how Lincoln deals with his PTSD and everything that comes with that painful struggle. It is his own battle, and even if it hurts the one he cares about he thinks he needs to stay away. Bottom Line, Lincoln is a bit selfish for the wrong reasons especially when it comes to Devon and his feelings. It shouldn't take others to point out something obvious.
Devon coming into himself is the best part of this book, his communication is top tier here.
Risking it all and hoping to come out the other side sometimes is the hardest battle.
I am a sucker for military books but this one was just under the mark for me, I did enjoy it but there were just things that didn't sit right with me.
