This installment was the perfect end to Missy Johnson’s serial, Wildcard. The storyline started well in volume one, hooked me with it’s suspense in volume two and blew me away in volume three. There were so many twists and turns that I did not expect, one of my favorite things about books that seems to be lacking more these days. The third volume picks up right where the second ends. Ryder, being the take charge secret sweet heart he is, tries to find a solution to Scarlett’s problems by paying Tony, her terrible ex, to go away for good. Of course he is confused and hurt that she has not confided in him as to what is really going on and what Tony holds over her, he is determined to wait for her to come forward and tell him what is going on. In the meantime, Jake gets sick and it is like all the schtick hits the fan in a way. For the first 40% of the book I was so nervous about what the secret was. I was waiting for it to explode or Tony to come back and cause a huge scene. When the secret is revealed, it is so sad and heartbreaking. You can see the anguish and fear in Scarlett and finally start to understand her hesitation in sharing her burdens. She wants to leave it all behind her and live life with her son, two things that she cannot seem to do with this threat hovering above her. When you think that you finally are ok to move on and see how they handle this situation, BAM, there is another twist and then another. Needless to say my outbursts while reading this book startled my sister in the room next door! I was hooked and couldn’t stop reading this volume. It shifts focus from the major sexy times (which are still a part of the story and great) to a suspenseful story line that you cannot seem to stop reading till you know the end! I enjoyed seeing Ryder break away the media image and make choices, some good and some with good intentions, that created a deeper character, someone who could shoulder the burden of Scarlett’s life and responsibilities. It was a spectacular ending and so much more than I was expecting. This volume makes me want to go back and read them all together, back to back, and enjoy the story again!
