Synopsis:
Jax
I was born and bred to be the man I am today. My father and his father were both graduates from The United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. Both went on to become helicopter pilots. Both had seen plenty of action. Both had met and caused devastation. Both men, who I respect more above all, had served and protected the United States and her people honorably for decades.My best friend, William Cruz, who attended the academy with me, had flown beside me, had lived the same life as I had and shared the same ambitions in life, was gone now. This was not part of the plan. Will and I were supposed to have each other’s backs, support each other and never let anything supersede our bond.
Francesca
I sat on Norfolk Beach needing to feel close to him on the anniversary of his death. It was a beautiful day in May and I was cutting class. I had done the same every year since he passed.
Jaxson Irons was only supposed to be in Pensacola for a year. But now three years later I still hadn't heard from him. I saw a man running down the beach and I knew immediately who it was.
Jaxson didn't respond the way I had dreamed he would. He told me we would catch up someday soon. I stood and watched until he was gone.Thump, thump. I placed my hand on my chest as I felt my heart beat again for what felt like the first time in three years. Thump, thump. I felt the blood moving quickly through my body. Its heat once again present. Thump, thump. I looked up at the sky and let out a breath. A breath that I had been holding forever. Thump, thump.
I felt tears fall down my face as I raised my hands in the air and laughed out loud. Just then the clouds parted for the first time in forever. I saw the sun smiling down on me.

Review by Gia:
Irons was a great quick read. Just because it was short, it doesn't mean it wasn't packed with a ton of stuff. There is a lot of stuff going on in Irons. It grabs you and sucks you in right from the beginning with a very emotionally scene. If you cry easily you may want to have some tissues near by just in case.
It took me a little while to warm up to Jax. He is kind of rough around the edges and once he realizes he wants Francesca, he is very possessive. Francesca has always loved Jax. Jax is a military man the tows the line with his very political family. Francesca and Jax have a very rocky relationship because there are lot of things working against them.
There are definitely some jaw dropping twists that I want to mention but I won't because I don't want to spoil it for anyone. The ending was a little weird for me. I know Irons is book 1 so I didn't expected everything to be fixed and perfect at the end but I thought it just kind of ended and left me trying to continue turning the page for more. I can't wait to read more in Book 2.

Glad you liked it, Gia! I love it when a short book can be just as compelling and fleshed out, and it sounds like the twists are a lot of fun, too!
