“I won’t be your runner up, or your heartbreak fix. I’ll be your last, Kate Beckett, but it will be your best love yet.”
“Forgive me. Love again and forgive me for everything. You deserve the stars and the moon and everything right in this world. But never forget that my love for you was real and it was fierce, Kate Beckett. Loving you was the only thing I got right in this life.”
Two men so similar yet so different in love with the same woman. Kate Beckett. Two sides of the same coin. One is living the fast life of drugs, women and rock n roll while the other man has learned from those mistakes and is determined to never live that life again.
Eric broke Kate slowly for years as the man who was supposed to build her up and protect her while Nick stood firm and picked up the pieces slowly as her best friend determined to be there when Kate finally has enough and walks away from Eric.
Watching Eric and Kate break apart was horrible. It hurt. I didn’t even realize I was crying at first when I was reading that part until I felt the tears falling down my cheeks. She was dying with Eric and her heart loved Nick. It wasn’t an easy decision because she didn’t want to be another person to let Eric down but his addiction was driving his decisions. When that happens sometimes you have to cut them loose regardless of how bad it hurts. No matter if it scares you, if you worry they will end up dead. You can’t will them to live and get better. They have to want it for themselves.
Nick is steadfast in his decision with Kate being the one for him. He loves her. To the bottom of his soul she is it for him. He wants nothing more than to help her pick up every jagged piece of her broken heart and soul and put them back together and help her find herself again. He will protect her from anything or anyone. He has known from the first moment he saw Kate she is it and he has waited for a long time for this opportunity and he isn’t missing his chance.
After Kate and Eric’s break up this is where you need to grab some wine, a massive box of tissues and some chocolate. If you thought the heartbreak of their breakup was bad just wait. That was rainbows compared to the category 5 hurricane that is coming your way. I have no way to describe it besides gut wrenching, soul crushing pain. Then when you think it’s over the ghost of Christmas past stops in with one last present and rips out what is left of any guts you had left.
I was so pissed and upset at that moment for Kate. I couldn’t believe what was happening. Nick is an absolute saint during the whole horrible time and gives every ounce of his strength to Kate. I know Kate would have made it through without him but with him there he made it so much easier for her to handle and cope.
I know Sierra was extremely worried about writing this book. It’s been a long wait for her readers. CC you did an amazing job with Kate and Nick’s story! There is nothing that I would have changed. Be proud of yourself! I know this story was taxing on your heart to write because it was hard on my heart to read but it was so worth the wait.
