Book Reviews: Trouble Times Two (Deuce is Wilder - Troubled Book 2) by Calinda B

A friend of mine inspired this story when he told me of his family's travails in watching over a young child while the court system decided who would ultimately care for her. They kept her, fed her, cared for her and loved her while her drug addicted parents retained parental rights. I became fascinated with the story and consulted with a therapist to flesh out the story in Troubled Times Two. If a parent doesn't want a child but is unwilling to relenquish rights, what happens? Who trumps whom in a custody battle? Does the felon father trump the drug addicted mother? Does the sleazy billionaire grandfather trump the uncle's desire to do the right thing? The more I researched, the less clear the outcome became.
On top of this, I aimed to present a realistic picture of Jace's transformation. When raised with abuse, as my character experienced, the mind and body can become mired in bad habits and ways of dealing with the world. It takes an immense force to wrench him free of his past. In Trouble Times Two, this immense force is love. I've seen it happen and experienced it. While love might not be all you need, it might provide the impetus to change for good, altering your life path in ways you never dreamed. I hope you enjoy Trouble Times Two.

Trouble with a capital T
Jace Savage continues to find trouble in this second book of Deuce is Wilder. While in the first book you find out all about Jace and his sister's difficult past, this story continues to unravel the consequences of their prior actions. Calinda B pulls at your heart strings through the whole book. The characters pull you back into their story. You worry about them, and want the best for them, and it seems at every turn there is a twist that is so unexpected but perfectly plausible in the world we live in today.Zoe has her hands full trying to figure out how to help and yet have her own life and dreams too. Jace is going to have to learn to let go or he'll lose her. Trust hangs in the balance, will he be able to trust her to come to him on her own. His past taints his vision. Both characters grow so much in this book. It's amazing how their journey leads them to the point where hope is hanging on by a thread, willing to comfort each other.
The ending is outstanding... enough said. [by kph]
