Jon’s Boom Shaka Laka Problem is the series finale and Sherwood really shakes things up in every way imaginable before seeing Jon and Donovan settling into domestic happiness.
As indicated by the title, it starts with bombs and explosions. Real ones and ones within their relationship. One major decision by Jon that threatens to derail everything they’ve built to date, and Jon’s completely, emotionally unprepared and equipped to handle the fallout.
In the final story, all the damage that Jon’s parents and stepfather, all the deeply felt pain his childhood has instilled over the years returns and in one instant,making him cut Donovan out of a life threatening decision. For them both.
Sherwood is able to bring us into the frightening turmoil of the situation, the fear and nausea inducing arguments that occur between the men. It’s so painful and intimate.
The fact that we’ve come to care so much about these men and their relationship makes this moment of angst, despair, anger, and desperation all the worse. That there’s a bomb and bomber waiting for them too while they haven’t resolved anything between them? Heartbreaking.
The tension, suspense, and life threatening situations here are so well written as are the emotional ones between Jon and Donovan.
There are explosions to diffuse everywhere and just when you think it’s over, another complication pops up.
This is such an excellent story and Sherwood wraps up the series and Jon’s emotional issues realistically and in an unexpected and gratifying way.
It’s not the last of Jon and Donovan as they appear in Brandon’s series.
But for now they’re happy and very very ever after!
Did I love this series? Why yes I did! I’m highly recommending it !
Read them in the order they are written.
Jon’s Mysteries series:
✓ Jon’s Downright Ridiculous Shooting Case #1
✓ Jon’s Crazy Head-Boppon’ Mystery #2
✓ Jon’s Spooky Corpse Conundrum #3
✓ Jon’s Boom Shaka Laka Problem #4
Proposing vs defusing a bomb?
Defusing a bomb is much easier than proposing.
Defusing Donovan’s anger over getting on a plane to defuse said bomb? Harder than the bomb.
Jon is not liking these odds.
Is proposing supposed to be this difficult?
