Wil's Demons
Great continuation of Deadly Passion. We begin with the terrifying events where Wil tries unsuccessfully to save Sarah from falling off the edge of a roof. The anguish Wil is feeling is evident as he searches for Sarah. She was saved from a complete fall due to the scaffolding used for remodeling and when Wil located her I breathed a sigh of relief because she was still alive. Even though Sarah flat-lined a couple times, I held out hope that she would survive but when her injuries were revealed I had a feeling the result would include amnesia. Having read a few books recently that dealt with amnesia, I wasn't too excited about another but the author made the story fresh and I could still feel Wil's anguish coming through. This is Wil's story after all. Sarah's memory loss is of the recent past which included her relationship with Wil. He deals with the circumstances by volunteering for a very dangerous mission. Wil not only is dealing with the loss of Sarah's love and his guilt over her accident but also his military past where he blamed himself for the loss of his team. Great story, highly recommended.

WOW! Just WOW!
Such a change from the first book. The character's growth and struggles pull you in. From the rooftop to the ICU to the Middle East, Wil's Story takes you through more emotions that you would expect. There are twists, turns and even a tiny surprise.
I can't wait for more from K.C. Rice!
