A review by nitzanschwarz
Naked Edge by Pamela Clare
3.5
Naked Edge, the 4th in the I-Team series was a good and engrossing read--though admittedly there were just some things I didn't like about it much.
It starts off pretty strong, with our MC - Kat - falling to her death only to miraculously survive with the help of Gabe, an off-duty (smoking hot) ranger who happens to see her fall.
Kat was a good, and even better, interesting main character, albeit a slightly annoying one at times. Being half Navajo who's very attached to her culture and their beliefs, Kat is waiting for 'The One' and vows never to have sex before marriage. But all men want sex, right? So she's decided not to date them at all. Now, how do you expect to find The One, Kat dear, if you're not dating? not giving them a chance? Am I the only one who sees the flaw in her logic?... Of course, she doesn't really need to date. The One just walks into her life, and reluctantly they fall in love, skipping the whole actually dating bits.
But, in general, folks, things like that happen only in books. In Real Life, one must go out there and date to find the person they're meant to be with. Trust me, I know. I've been waiting for "the One" to walk into my life for a while now. No such luck.
Which brings me to Gabe, the lone, rock-joke who doesn't date, doesn't have close friends, doesn't believe in love. He's cynical, scarred, and wounded on the inside. Closed off. Numb.
And as a girl who loves those heroes who're reluctant to fall in love, naturally, I loved him.
I will admit, though; every time he said one of those "I'm can't be that man for her" comments I got annoyed - because I knew he was (he is the second MC...). BOOK LOGIC.
My favorite part about the book was definitely the Navajo/Dine aspects of the story. These were very interesting to read and experience and refreshing and new, which is always a good thing.
And the villain of the story? The one who actually did everything, from murder to attempted murder and various occasions? came as a total surprise for me! (I spotted his partners from a mile away, though)
The ending was both great and meh. Yes, I'm the best at making out my mind! lol
What I loved about it was the aftermath of the big fight. It was realistic, and some things had to be sacrificed. But I was also quite disappointed with how quickly their relationship progressed from the moment of confession. True, the situations they were under before allowed them to learn about each other quicker than usual, but still...
Well, they were adorable regardless.
PS. what is it with those I-Team members and life threatening investigations?...
