I never knew how much I missed the Stage Dive crew until I read Strong. This series is definitely one of my favorites and Strong was a great reminder of how much I loved them all. And it made me want to do a re-read, ASAP! Of course, I loved this book but my only gripes were that it was way too short for my liking and I wanted more romance between Sam and Martha. It wasn't quite enough for me to be completely hooked into their story. AND, Martha ... well if you're familiar with this series, she doesn't rank high with many. So it took some time to come around to her.
Sammmmm, I've always loved the Stage Dive bodyguard and was eager to get his story. He's a man that knows exactly what he wants and time did nothing to hinder that. And his eyes were set on Martha. I loved how he just sees everything, which probably makes him a great bodyguard, but he constantly has a great read on Martha. It was pretty obvious that they probably had a bit of unrequited love for each other and just decided to wait ten years to do something about it.
Strong turned out to be a quick and sweet read. I loved watching Sam barrel towards Martha and doing what he can to make her, his. Even with my hang-ups about Martha, she redeemed herself in the end. Even though this was a novella, I'd still be elated if Kylie Scott decided to just add more and make it a full-length novel ;-)
