Beholden by Corinne Michaels

Beholden (Salvation, #2) (the Belonging Duet, #2)

by Corinne Michaels

I tried resisting him. I fought to ensure history wouldn't repeat itself. In the end, Jackson and I knew he would win. He broke down my walls, obliterated every excuse, and made me love him against all odds.

Then he shattered my heart into thousands of pieces.

I can't let him back in. It was hard enough surrendering my heart the first time. If he hurts me again, I'll never survive. No matter what he thinks, we're beholden to our past.

This book picks up right where the first one left us hanging.

I already knew I liked Jackson, but this book made me love him. We got to explore his past and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved how stubborn Catherine was, she reminded me of my own stubbornness. And you know what the best thing was? The reference to the obstacle course in book one! Oh yes, that was mentioned, and more than once! If you've read the series, you know why this is important.

There were times where I teared up reading this. It was really well written, and I'll be continuing the series. As I understand it, this is a duology, but it continues on into a series about other people. I think we even get a book about Jackson's friend Mark? I'M HERE FOR THIS! Because Jackson's friends? They're amazing!

Corinne Michaels is really good at writing characters. I'm a plot-person, but she really got me with these charactes. The growth within them all was just so well written.

We got a little bit more of the military thing in this book, but if that's not your thing, fear not! It's in no way getting in way of the story. I think it could be summed up to about two or three chapters. If you're curious about military romances, this might be a good series to start with, as it eases you into it.

Well, there you go folks. This is it.
