*Novella-Prequel to Moving Forward*
Jake Reynolds’ life had always been perfectly mapped out for him as he was growing up. The only time he ever felt like he had any control over it was when he was inside the cage—the same cage that held no for sure outcome. In his twisted mind being inside that ring with his opponent was the most freeing feeling. In that moment alone he was able to let his perfected guard down and be who he wanted to be.
From the outside looking in, everything about Jake’s life looked perfect, but he knew that he wasn’t. His whole life had been set up for him before he was even born, and even though it’s not the life he wanted, he continued living it.
When you have everything you could ever want at your fingertips, why screw it up?
That was his mindset until the night Jesika showed up at his fight. He knew she was different from the get-go. He also knew he didn’t deserve her, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to try. Jake had skills inside and out of the cage and he was known to always get what he wanted no matter the risk. But was he willing to change who he had always been in order to keep the one that he thought was worth the fight? Will it all be worth it in the end?

Well we finally get to know what was going on in Jeskia's first husbands head. SELFISH Jerk I mean Jake.
Jake is writing the letter to Jesika that she gets in the last book. He pours his heart and soul out to her explaining all the mistakes that he has made and how he wished that he could be a better man to her. I never felt sorry for him, this was about Jake trying to accept the fact that the truth will come out soon and that he is going to be forced to own up to mistakes. Jake remembers from the first time that he meet Jeskia and how he won her over and got anyone out of the way that could challenge him.
Jake admits all his faults in the book and it helps clear up some questions that were left unsure of in Moving Forward. He has kept so many secrets from her and now is suffering the consequences of his actions. Jake really did love Jeskia and while he was a total JERK he was not the bastard that I thought. I kinda wished that he did not die, it would have been nice to see Jeskia rip him apart and then hang him out to dry. Yes that is how feel, Erika you gave him an easy out. I have had fun reading all three books in the series and I can't wait to read what ever Erika brings next.
