having sex when they are in the midst of running away from the bad guys feels rather ridiculous. i think that sometimes author wants to give some sort of "fairy tale" execution however in no way are they realistic in the eyes of readers.
there are things that are really repetitive that seems like it's written to fill up the word count.
These men all had families. Tank was engaged to Tillie, they were getting married in just a few weeks. Rock and Ariel were getting married in the summer. Scorpion and Jessica planned to marry before their baby arrived. Trick and Stephanie were still healing from their ordeal earlier in the year and were very much in love. Panther had an eight-year-old son and had literally just found out he was having a baby with Elle, adding child number three to their soon-to-be blended family.

She saw the way Tillie loved Tank, the way Ariel loved Rock, the way Jessica loved Scorpion, the way Stephanie loved Trick, and the way Elle loved Panther. She saw it all and knew she was no longer capable of loving Axel that same way. She was a failure as a wife, a failure as a friend, and a failure as a person.

If Bravo Team couldn’t fight off the men, they would all die in these woods. Tillie would never get to marry the man she loved after putting off the wedding twice already. Likewise, Ariel would never get to marry her lifelong crush and soulmate. Jessica wouldn’t marry Scorpion and would raise their daughter alone. Stephanie would never get to say yes when Trick asked her to marry him. And Elle would be left raising her daughter, Panther’s son, and their unborn child alone.

“We busted up Tank and Tillie’s wedding again,” Axel continued, “we’ll take them with us, they can say their vows for the first time while we repeat them. Hell, we’ll take the whole team. Rock and Ariel are engaged anyway, Scorpion wants to marry Jessica before the baby comes, and Panther wants to do the same with Elle. And we all know Trick was just waiting for the perfect time to propose to Stephanie, if he would just hurry up and realize there is no such thing as the perfect time, that every second is precious then they can join in. We’ll marry as a team, show the world that Bravo Team is stronger together, that we’re a family that nothing and no one can break up.”
~ the whole whatever is happening with the relationship of the heroes just keep on repeating and repeating.
and i was wondering of what happen with the heroine's family that sold her to the abductor? i mean with all the horrible things that happen in her childhood, nothing was done to her family? just find it odd...
