MY THOUGHTS

So right off the bat you have to love the adopted family dynamic. You get enough back story and interaction that you practically feel a part of it. What I love about JC in particular is that she knows what she wants and goes after it fairly ruthlessly. Hunter has always been loyal to his friend, Tony, who is one of JC’s brothers, but with her behavior, he’s toast. It’s a good thing we got all that back story though, because without it their initial encounters just wouldn’t be believable. As it is, it still feels a tad rushed.

This story was predictable in places (though let’s face it, what story isn’t to some degree these days?), but there were still some twists and turns thrown in there. The story and the relationship started out a little two-dimensional for me, but it picks up and once it does, it never lets go. It turns into a bit of a tear jerker in fact as obstacle after obstacle is set in front of Hunter and JC and they go through so much turmoil.

A book with such emotional investment that I cried more than once as well as laughed, Hunting JC is a beautiful story about self-confidence, learning to truly love and trust, and the bonds of family. You will NOT be disappointed with picking this one up! I can’t wait to read Tony’s story.
