Badlands Aftershock Jill Sorenson 9780373778348 Books

Jill Sorenson is an author I know I can count on every time I read one of her stories. Badlands is the 3rd book in the Aftershock series. In Aftershock, we meet Penny where she was an 18 year old Latina who comes from wealth & is pregnant. We almost meet Owen, a convict but has a heart that wants to do the right thing. Owen falls for Penny the moment he saw her. Penny grew to care for Owen despite his appearances. In Badlands, we catch up with Penny and Owen five years later. After much work and hard work, Owen is working a bodyguard for Penny's family. Penny's son (Cruz) is now five and Penny is helping her father with his presidential campaign. Owen has always loved Penny but never felt he was good enough for her so he has always keep a wall between them. Penny trusts and lusts (rightly so!) after Owen. There are some great suspense moments in Badlands but it is Jill Sorenson's incredible ability to create such engaging, diverse, and captivating characters. Penny and Owen both grow tremendously in this story. Also, my heart tumbled even further in love with Owen with all his interaction with Cruz (the tattoo!). I honestly would read Badlands 2 because I want to still know what happens with Owen, Penny, and Cruz after ending.

I also must point out no one writes secondary characters like Jill Sorenson. With all of her books that I have read, I become so intrigued (you could say obsessed :o ) with her secondary characters (I am still waiting to find out what happened with Ian, Maria and Armando from 'Caught In The Act'). Badlands is no exception. We meet Shane (Owen's brother) whose dialogue made me go to the ugly cry place. We also meet Janelle and Jamie (Shane's ex and their son) with a mysterious stranger named Ace. I would love to find out more about all 3 of them.

I cannot extol how much I enjoy Jill Sorenson's writing. Badlands just proves once again why her books are on auto buy for me

Badlands Aftershock Jill Sorenson 9780373778348 Books Reviews

What a great conclusion to Owen and Penny’s story. If you haven’t read Aftershock I would recommend reading that book first so you understand the dynamic between these two and what its taken for them to finally get to a point where its possible for them to be together.

Owen and Penny met after an earthquake left them buried under a freeway. She was 16 and pregnant and estranged from her Mexican American family due to the pregnancy. Owen was 19, in prison and part of a white supremacist prison gang with racist tattoo’s over his body. But Owen was part of the gang for survival only and he became infatuated with Penny during their ordeal and ended up saving the group trapped by managing to escape and get help. After getting out of prison Owen wanted to better himself and Penny’s father played a part in that but with a stipulation that he wasn’t to ever be more to his daughter than a friend.

Five years later Owen is part of Penny’s father’s security team as he is now running for president. Owen’s been assigned to guard Penny and Cruz, her son he helped deliver. Penny and Owen both have feelings for each other but just have just silently pined for the other for their own reasons. The three of them are kidnapped by Owen’s brother and group of other gang member and taken to the Badlands and held for ransom. They manage to escape and during there trek through the desert we learn more about the horrible childhood Owen had and the atrocities done to him in prison. Those things have made Owen have intimacy issues and it takes Penny’s love for him to help him start to work through them.

Normally we see the woman in a book being the one that’s been sexually abused and the effects of that. In this book its Owen who has the deep emotional scars from what happened to him in prison and all the mistakes he made that got him there. But through all of that he still has the kindest heart and you root for him on every page he is on. I am so happy we finally got Penny and Owen’s story as they both deserved a happy ending to all the heartbreak that came before it.
Finally, we get to Owen and Penny's story. "Badlands" takes place 5 years after they first meet in "Aftershock" and boy have they each grown up since the earthquake. Owen has turned his life around and is working as a bodyguard while trying to become a firefighter. Penny is back in the embrace of her family and busy raising her son Cruz. Her father (who I didn't like in "Aftershock" and who still annoyed me in "Badlands!") is running for the Republican nominee for President. During a Republican conference Penny, Cruz and Owen are kidnapped and taken to the California Badlands. While there, the trio manage to escape and must fight to stay alive while traveling through the harsh, desert conditions.
Like "Aftershock" and "Freefall" this book is more heavy on the action and suspense then the romance. But I think that in this case it's definitely warranted. Both Penny and Owen have a boatload of personal issues to work through, not to mention that the desert (and the constant company of a 5 year old) don't exactly make for romantic, sexy times. When Penny and Owen finally got together I thought the scenes were hot, sweet and perfect for the two characters.
I was afraid that Owen and Penny's story wouldn't live up to my expectations but I can honestly say that Jill Sorenson did not disappoint. Overall, I really loved this book. Now, if we could get just a small novella catching up with Penny, Owen and Cruz in say, another 5 years, that would make everything awesome.
