The story begins at the end. The Apophis asteroid is heading toward Earth, it's impact will change life as we know it . . . basically wiping most of it out. Those with connections will be brought to safe haven in underground bunkers. In these final hours, a choice needs to made. That's when he replays his life in his head . . .
Jamie Randall is a driven man. When he was young, he had nothing. He was bullied relentlessly in school. He wanted revenge and figured the best revenge would be to become successful. That's why marrying Liz was so important. She came from money, influence, and power. Through her, his doors would open to the success he wanted. So what about love? He didn't need it. He was going to leave her within a few years, after he had what he needed until she got pregnant and gave birth to twin boys. Now he couldn't leave, or could he?
A man obsessed, he worked like crazy and built up considerable wealth, but he never truly had what he wanted. That was until he met Kate McAllister, a free-spirited photographer. He was in one of the hotels he owned in Rome when an earthquake hit. They were buried alive. He would have died if it wasn't for her. But something happened that day, other than a little claustrophobia. He couldn't get her out of his head.
Jamie manages to track Kate down. They become close friends but it's easy to tell, they both want more. Jamie had finally found what all of his money could never buy: the love of his life. But it won't be that easy. Tragedy hits his family, scandal from his father-in-law, and a deep, dark secret that his wife has been keeping for years all threaten to keep him from doing the one thing he wants more than anything to do: be with the woman he truly loves.
Final Hours is a tale that will run you through your emotions. Jamie Randall is probably one of the most well written characters I've ever seen. I bounced back and forth between feeling bad for him and wanting to choke the life out of him. Just when you think you've decided, something else is revealed that makes you question your previous assessment. The question is: how does he want to spend his final hours? In the safety of an underground bunker with his well-connected family or with the love of his life . . . and almost certain death?
The only thing I had a hard time with when it comes to this book was putting it down. I couldn't. I ended up reading this book in only a few days which is a very short time for me, I'm not a quick reader. I have zero hesitation recommending this book.
