Between the Cracks

Clipped Wings, Book 1.5

By: Helena Hunting

Narrated by: Jason Clarke

Tattooist Chris Zelter doesn’t always make the best decisions when it comes to the people he cares about, or the women he gets involved with. Things have changed recently, though. Chris has lost interest in casual flings as he finds himself wrapped up in Sarah Adamson, a waitress at the local strip club he frequents. It takes months of persistent attention before she finally agrees to date him, and he's determined not to mess it up.

Just as things are finally going his way, Chris receives a troubled phone call in the middle of the night from Hayden Stryker, his best friend and business partner. Unexpected revelations and the sudden departure of his girlfriend, Tenley, has nearly sent Hayden over the edge. Add in a speeding ticket and an impounded car, and Hayden is balanced on the precipice of a total meltdown. Worried about his friend, Chris sets out on a rescue road trip, first to get Hayden, and then to bring back Tenley. The two men run into unforeseen roadblocks, proving even the best intentions don’t guarantee results.

Chris and Hayden return to Chicago empty handed, and Chris is left feeling as if he’s let down all the people who matter, especially Sarah. But Chris discovers that sometimes the best way to deal with failure is to find a way to forget about it. And losing himself in Sarah is the perfect way to do just that.

Quick

A short little teaser and a small little glimpse from Chris' POV. I liked it.
Lets not forget that listening to Jason Clarke always makes things better.

Hell yeah great addition to series

This was like a missing piece in the series. You meet the secondary characters and some make an impact. You want to know more about them. This up close view of what Chris was seeing was fab.

As always Jason Clarke delivered the goods.

Chris’s pov

This book really paints Chris in a different light than the first one. I enjoyed his pov and how he was there for Hayden no matter when or what. I feel so sad for Hayden

Not a stand a lone....

The story was good., however it really isn't a stand alone book. If you have not read the previous book you will be a little lost in the story.

No short story - snapshot within a story

I downloaded this book because I thought it was a short story, but it’s actually a snapshot within how much larger story. It is hard to figure out who is who and why the people do what they do. One friend helps another follow a girl who left. The best part is Jason Clarke as the narrator, I could listen to him reading the phone book.
