Loved the man that Jack become in this book. He came up the hard way, so when he meets Ricky, he knows exactly what the teenager is going through from personal experience. Jack took his time with Ricky, tried not to push him for information, and knew that he would do whatever that had to be done to protect him. Caitlyn was hired to tutor Ricky and get him back up to speed with his school work. Of course, Ricky is a smart boy, but due to his family situation, he never stayed in one place long. Caitlyn became attached to both Jack and Ricky and I loved watching all three of them face their feelings about everything that was happening.
