Goodreads
Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.
When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.
Time to Bounce is book 6 in the Carter Brother series. This time, we have Gable Carter! Gable is a cop, like everyone in his family, and he has been doing undercover work. Athena is a friend of Maven, and she created a program to find missing kids. Her story is heartbreaking-she has lost so much.
Gable was interested in Athena from the start, but his job undercover does not make it easy to have a girlfriend. Imagine his surprise when Athena ends up at a biker bar where he is undercover. After that, their relationship moves quick. There is plenty of danger and intrigue. Athena’s mother is a piece of work, and Gable’s job, even after his undercover operation, is dangerous. I really enjoyed their story! They might be one of my favorite couples! You also get a lot of Carter family in Time To Bounce, which I always appreciate.
