OMG! This book did things to me. From the first page of The Wrong Game, I knew my emotions were going to be taken on a ride. My heart was pulled out, flipped around and then shoved back into my chest. But fear not, for as emotional as this was, there was also humor and friendship and heat and family.
I loved his patience. How his kindness and goodness showed not just through his words but his actions as well. He was a man of honor and integrity. He said what he meant and did what he said he would. His thoughtfulness where his family was concerned was downright swoon worthy. The gentle yet firm hands he used to hold Gemma's heart as he slowly let her lower her walls turned me into a puddle of mush. Zach is the dream that book boyfriends are made of. He saw her for all that she was and all that she wasn't. Faults and fears and everything in between.
I should've know....this is Kandi Steiner, queen of angst, that the happy bubble they found themselves in wouldn't last. Oh no, just when I thought things were going to be ok, that Gemma would be able to see Zach wasn't her ex, the wheels fell off. I just didn't think I would've been slayed that much. I was a misty eyed mess and my heart just ached for both of them.
It took some tough love and a lot of soul searching and of course, a plan, but Zach and Gemma were so meant to be. All the hurt and tears and hope and trials made The Wrong Game a book I couldn't put down. And that ending, be still my heart, it put the happy flutters in my belly. It was absolute Gemma and Zach perfection.
