When I met Alex 'Easy' Rogers in Fly with Me, I knew his story would kill my insides. He has a reputation of being a ladies man, but he's so very loyal. He falls for Dani, his commander's wife. He has kept those feelings inside, but it always tortured him to see her with him. What he does is be there for her as a friend. As a result, Dani always seeks for him. When Dani's husband and Easy's best friend passes away, Dani is completely distraught and Easy thinks he should have died instead. It's because of their tight friendship and Easy's support that Dani is able to slowly move on. When they reach an uncharted territory in their friendship, Dani steps back, thinking she's betraying her husband, and thinking Easy doesn't really wants her.

I loved her, and loving someone was more about them than you, so it didn’t matter what I wanted.

Easy and Dani's journey was very heartbreaking, but so beautiful. I loved how Easy was. He totally surprised me! We always see him being a ladies man so to see this whole other side of him of being sweet, tender, caring, understanding, and loyal, my heart was going in a frenzy. He was silently suffering all this time because he couldn't have Dani and now that he can, he wishes he wasn't alive. It was so sad! The way he would treat Dani had me swooning! He's perfection. And Dani... Oh sweet Dani, my heart broke for her. Her loss still affects her greatly and at times, she doesn't know how to function. Having Easy there for her was all she needed to pick herself back up. After what happens between them, she can't believe she has feelings for her late husband's best friend, but it makes sense to fall for someone like Easy. She knew she had found a sort of security in him.

My world had been shaken enough in the past year, and considering Easy was my rock, I couldn’t handle the possibility of losing that, too.

I wish they had spent more time as a couple. Most of the book is spent with them trying to not be together, mostly on Dani's part, that we don't get to see much of them once they become official. I wish we had gotten more of that because the little we got was brilliant. I loved how it all started with a tight friendship and slowly moved to form a strong bond between Alex and Dani.

Overall, On Broken Wings is an emotional and loving conclusion to this great series.

I received an ARC from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews.
