Review - 'Breaking Defense' by JB Salsbury - Carey tries to make up from the sins of his past



Review
In this book, we go back into The Fighting world (something I didn't catch on until about 20% of the way in the book when we find out Carey's last name). Carey is blasted with someone from his past and he has a secret that he needs to Rowan if he wants any chance to have a future with her.

The story is a quick read, and to be honest it's written that way. I really enjoyed the Fighting books and this one didn't quite meet my expectations. It felt very much like a novella but was a bit longer then the typical length. The fact that it is a quick book, there wasn't a whole lot of development for the characters. We have a bit of a background for Carey, but there is nothing really for Rowan. I would have liked to have dove deeper into her background.

I did enjoy the back and forth between the characters. Once Carey decides that he does like Rowan and want her, he has to work for it. Rowan is not secure with herself in the relationship (that is until the lights go out wink wink).

The quick pace of the story is what took me out of it. Also the fact that Carey did a REALLY bad thing and did something that made Rowan's life very difficult, she seemed to just forgive him after a few days. I feel like it would take more time and yes I get that it's a book, but 2 days to forgive? Just felt out of character for her.

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

  If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on.  Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

Bucky and Sam try to deal with a new Captain America in 'The Falcon and Winter Soldier' episode 2

In this week's episode, titled 'The Star-Spangled Man', John Walker is taking over for Steve Rogers as Captain America and is adjusting to what that role means for America. In the meantime, Sam is continuing to try and take down the Flag Smashers, now with Bucky in tow. But these Smashers are not typical human, but an army of super soldiers, something that Bucky is very familiar with. Walker tries to join in the fight, but Sam and Bucky want nothing to do with him.  Bucky is having a hard time seeing someone else yield the shield. Sam doesn't like it either, but he understand that he made a choice and he has to live with the consequences. Captain America, Walker, seems like he would fit the bill on the surface. He seems like a carbon copy of Steve Rogers, but it's not until we get towards the end of the show that we see a darker side of Walker.  We get to see more of the Flag Smashers in this show and see why they are doing what they are doing. In their opinion, the...
