That is amazing how well you answered that comment and how sweet you are. Not all authors are that kind. I loved Desertion and you are right he never cheated on her. I can’t wait to read Paige’s book!
I do remember him talking shit when he was drunk and at his lowest, but he never acted on it. And it was insinuated that he was simply acting out and trying to convince himself he could force himself to forget about her, which was ONLY because he was drunk and his father just died. Again, it was his lowest point.
And I agree, Jesse is the kind of character who would need a woman to show him that he deserved love no matter how much he disagreed and no matter how much he refused to accept love. The fact that she refused to give up is what saved him. She was far from weak because she called him out on it, and she was the first one to actually call him out on an emotional level while others had let him hide. I've been in that position and it's far more difficult to be honest like that than people may think.
Having a traumatic past myself, I didn't see weakness here at all. It takes much more strength sometimes to latch on for the long haul than to lash out and throw hissy fits. A man like Jesse would have shut down and only become more self-destructive.
I loved the first two books in this series, but this one is probably my favorite so far because I love Jesse's cheeky nature, and I love seeing more than just the caveman type of biker approach. Yes, Nix and Sy were great guys. I adore them, and I love a good Neanderthal biker. LOL But there's something about a smartass, boyish, cocky feel to a badass that gets to me.
But Jesse is no unfaithful asshole and Bell is far from weak, so I don't get where that's coming from. Though I think reading is experienced based on what we've been through and how it's affected us and how we perceive the world. But I love these characters and look forward to seeing more like them. Amazing job on the character development and emotional depth! As someone who has been through some shit, this one hit the nail on the head!
