BLURB:
Nick O’Flaherty and Kelly Abbott had their happy ending in sight when a friend’s call for help almost ended with them losing it to the blade of a knife. Now, in the aftermath of near-disaster, both men are trying to heal and move on.
Moving on together, though, is harder than either of them realized it would be. Kelly struggles with simply being a lover instead of the Doc, while Nick is mired in his recovery. The distance between them inches along in stilted silence.
Desperately seeking solace, Nick finally gathers the courage to sort through the possessions his dear friend and fellow Sidewinder teammate Elias Sanchez left him when he died. Instead of comforting memories, Nick and Kelly find a stack of letters and strict instructions from Eli that prompt them to send out a call for assistance. With Eli’s letters in hand, Sidewinder sets out on one last mission together, seeking peace and absolution from beyond the grave—and from each other.
REVIEW:
I am really enjoying the Sidewinder Series. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all 3 books and it’s not surprise I’m obsessed with all the Sidewinder’s in general so I knew going into this story I wouldn’t be disappointed. And no surprise here, I wasn’t disappointed at all. I’m an unapologetic diehard fan of this author. I love her writing style, I love her characters, and I love her stories.
Part & Parcel starts up during Nick’s recovery from his almost fatal stabbing in Crash & Burn. Nick is convalescing, Kelly is taking care of him making sure he’s doing all he needs to recover. Having a significant amount of time on his hands Nick starts going through their late partner, Elias Sanchez’s belongings. This sets Nick and Kelly on an around the world the world journey that includes Ty, Zane, and the rest of the Sidewinders. I loved this journey. I loved Elias for doing this for these men who so needed it.
Nick and Kelly were very emotional and angsty in this book. I had no problem with this. I think near death experiences change people. I think Kelly and Nick have had so many that emotionally things started to change for them. Especially now that they are sharing their lives with someone who understands. I also think a lot of the angst was necessary. There were tons of opened festering wounds between Kelly and Nick that needed to be lanced so these men could move on and heal, together.
I really enjoyed this one. It was painful and if you’re invested, I’m sure you’ll shed a tear or two like I did. These men are damaged but so loveable. They deserve their HEA so much and I think finally their on the right path.
I can’t wait for the next book!! I absolutely recommend this one.
