I've been so excited waiting for the release of One Last Shot and Gillian Jones did not disappoint.
This book is the third in Gillian Jones' Pub Fiction series and is Matt and Claire's story.
Claire, as a young teenager, she loses both her parents on the same day due to an accident. After dealing with the heartbreak and pain of losing them, as she goes on and becomes a young woman, still feeling the loss and pain from her parent's death, she decides she will never allow herself to love someone so deeply again in order to avoid the pain if she loses them. She believes if she never loves again, she'll be able to protect her heart from suffering the same devastation. But then she meets Matt. Matt scares the hell out of her because she knows her feelings are so strong that if anything should happen to him, if you were to lose him, she would break all over again. She decides to run away from him and their love in a attempt to protect her heart but over time she's see it's all been in vain. Her heart belongs to Matt but she still refuses to give in to the feelings fearful of the outcome.
Matt, he knows Claire is broken and he's not giving up till he helps her to fix herself and heal from the devastating loss of her mom and dad. He plans on waiting for as long as it takes, years if he has to. He bides his time till she returns from running away. He then begins his mission to get her back in his arms and life forever.
But one night, when harsh words are spoken by Claire, words that she regrets immediately but then runs away again without showing regret, she wounds Matt to the point he decides for the preservation of his own heart he'll have to let her walk away from him for good. All the while, trying to help Claire, he's been hurting himself. He decides it's time to let Claire go and move on with his own life and allow her to move on with her own.
While crying over what's she done to her and Matt, Claire finally sees her pain has been blinding her from truly healing and loving her Matty back the way he should be loved.
She finally decides it's time to make a change and go after her man but will it be too late? Has she pushed Matt too far? Is he now the one that has to protect his heart?
I highly recommend this book. It will make you laugh and cry but mostly love.
