Blurb
Set after "Return to Zero" (Shatterproof Bond book #3)
After the devastating events in the Scottish Highlands, Sam and Declan have moved on to a new, deeper level in their romance. Their commitment to each other is unquestionable; however, there are plenty of questions that need answering about other aspects of their lives, and those who sought to end them.
Sam is trying his best to deal with the day to day frustrations of his injuries. He’s completely dependant on Declan for everything, and hates the way the scales have tipped in their relationship. Although he’s officially on leave, Sam’s mind cannot stop replaying all that happened to him and questioning why, and who is behind it all.
Declan’s relief at having Sam home throws him into house-husband mode. He’s happy to take the reins and care for his partner, however, beneath the surface Declan cannot help but be drawn back to how he felt in the Highlands, and how they were betrayed by a man who was supposed to have their back. Declan had promised Sir James Aiken that he would pay if he hurt Sam, and now Declan has to decide how he can deliver his payback and put his and Sam’s world back on an even keel.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Declan and Sam continue to delight in Counterblow, the fourth book in Isobel Starling's Shatterproof Bond series.
Now engaged, these two are hysterical as well as charming. I absolutely adore Sam and Declan as a couple. And of course, they continue to face their fair share of danger. Sam's father continues to be completely vile and my anger towards him continues to rise.
As for their vows, well, let's just say that is one of the best scenes ever! This alone makes this book a definite re-read.
As for Isobel Starling, I am beyond impressed with her writing. This series is a definite winner, the perfect combo of action, snark, and romance. I need to check out the rest of her books. If they're anything like these books, I am all in.
