Excerpt:
“Blake?” Her voice was whisper soft and filled with more emotion than I ever thought I’d hear from her again. “Yeah, baby?” “You love me, right?” I sat back, stunned. I could only gape a moment as I struggled for words. “Of course I do. How can you—?” “Do you think it can work this time?” She didn’t have to elaborate. I knew exactly what she meant. Would I do something else to break us, to suffocate us? I wanted to say no, with everything in me, I wanted to. But I couldn’t lie. “I’m not sure, darlin’. If I could, I’d go back in time and erase all the hurtful shit in our past, but I can’t. All I know is that I love you more than my own breath and I’ll damn sure try. If you’ll let me.” I waited a beat, my heart tangled in my throat. “Please say you’ll let me try.” She never answered me. Instead, fingers of ice cold air wrapped around my legs as she opened the door and stepped out. Everything in her body language screamed how worn out she was. Physically and emotionally. I jumped out and locked the car, then rushed to catch her on the porch before she could escape into the house. I gripped her elbow and spun her around, leaving her key in the lock. She landed up against me, her palms pressed against my chest, her breath rushing out of her in a startled puff. “Blake . . .” I cut her off by slamming my mouth to hers. I’d force out her indecision, punish it into submission, if I had to. I could not lose my wife. It would kill me.

FROM MY MIND"S EYE:
FROM MY MIND"S EYE:
I first read the prequel Burnout and then read Crank. Crank picks up ten years after the delicious high school love story of Blake and Delilah Travers. At the point we join this story, their marriage is in grave jeopardy and Delilah feels like she needs to end their marriage for self preservation. Blake on the other hand, is clueless and shocked by the fact his "princess" refers to him as a ghost. Really?
Fact of the matter is, they truly love each other: they just don't know how to communicate what they need to each other. So will true win out?
These characters are so real and they are surrounded by a whole compliment of characters who love and support them as they journey through their troubles. Their problems are realistic as a lot of marriages encounter misunderstandings and lack of communication after a period of years, be it the proverbial seven year itch or ten.
I felt compassion for both Blake and Delilah and was hoping they would reconcile their differences. The story is told in alternating chapters; the point of view shifting from Blake to Delilah. Both characters grew and developed as the story progressed.
The story sucked me in quickly and I read it in a couple of sittings. A little bit angsty, a whole lot of heartache, and a very enjoyable love story. All good things are worth working for.
I rated this a 4 wink read and I loved every word of it!
