When I met Alex 'Easy' Rogers in Fly with Me, I knew his story would kill my insides. He has a reputation of being a ladies man, but he's so very loyal. He falls for Dani, his commander's wife. He has kept those feelings inside, but it always tortured him to see her with him. What he does is be there for her as a friend. As a result, Dani always seeks for him. When Dani's husband and Easy's best friend passes away, Dani is completely distraught and Easy thinks he should have died instead. It's because of their tight friendship and Easy's support that Dani is able to slowly move on. When they reach an uncharted territory in their friendship, Dani steps back, thinking she's betraying her husband, and thinking Easy doesn't really wants her.

I loved her, and loving someone was more about them than you, so it didn’t matter what I wanted.

Easy and Dani's journey was very heartbreaking, but so beautiful. I loved how Easy was. He totally surprised me! We always see him being a ladies man so to see this whole other side of him of being sweet, tender, caring, understanding, and loyal, my heart was going in a frenzy. He was silently suffering all this time because he couldn't have Dani and now that he can, he wishes he wasn't alive. It was so sad! The way he would treat Dani had me swooning! He's perfection. And Dani... Oh sweet Dani, my heart broke for her. Her loss still affects her greatly and at times, she doesn't know how to function. Having Easy there for her was all she needed to pick herself back up. After what happens between them, she can't believe she has feelings for her late husband's best friend, but it makes sense to fall for someone like Easy. She knew she had found a sort of security in him.

My world had been shaken enough in the past year, and considering Easy was my rock, I couldn’t handle the possibility of losing that, too.

I wish they had spent more time as a couple. Most of the book is spent with them trying to not be together, mostly on Dani's part, that we don't get to see much of them once they become official. I wish we had gotten more of that because the little we got was brilliant. I loved how it all started with a tight friendship and slowly moved to form a strong bond between Alex and Dani.

Overall, On Broken Wings is an emotional and loving conclusion to this great series.

I received an ARC from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews.

I went into this book trying to keep my expectations low. Months ago, I kept seeing mentions of this book and it seemed like something I would greatly enjoy. Me being me, I had to read the first two books in the series first. While I liked the stories, there were things in the first two books that had me questioning if I would love this particular book as much as I had initially hoped. Having now read this story, I can say it absolutely lived up to the hype.

The pacing of this book is spot on. That was an issue I had with the last book, but this book flowed seamlessly between scenes and even the small time jumps. Having read those other books, I was already fully invested in Easy finding his HEA with Dani. I knew it would be complicated and emotional, yet I hoped it would all be worth it in the end. It was.

Easy is amazing with Dani. To be fair, he is a great guy with all of his friends. He may have a reputation as a player which is well earned, but he’s genuine and giving with his inner circle. His thoughtfulness when it comes to Dani is next level and made me melt. At the same time, Easy has such a chip on his shoulder from all the years of loving Dani silently that he often toes the line of doing something stupid out of his fear of being spurned. Of course, Dani doesn’t understand and makes jokes about his reputation when she’s feeling confused by her budding feelings and hurt by his actions.

Something I always appreciate in stories about widows or widowers is when the deceased spouse is treated with respect. Too often these stories have the dearly departed end up not so great so it’s “acceptable” for the one left behind to move on. That wouldn’t work here or would be, at the very least, disingenuous. Dani’s husband was known and loved in the first book, so anyone having read the series would be put off if Joker was looked at in a different light all of a sudden. The author made sure Joker continued to be looked upon as the great guy he was and never even hinted that Dani shouldn’t or ever wouldn’t still love him.

There are a lot of ups and downs in this story. Both from the romance side and the grieving side of things. Dani has been through a traumatic couple of years, and in many ways so has Easy. They both have to deal with the sorrow, guilt, and acceptance of the loss they’ve suffered. But they also have to find a way to move on with their lives. This story is heavy, I’m not gonna lie. But it is oh so good.
