Love in Norfolk #2
Fallen
Nixon McKenna was the devil. A damaged and tortured soul, shrouded in darkness. Tall, solid, and insanely handsome. An alpha male who lived by his own rules and expected everyone else to.
"It’s the way you look at me; silently begging me to punish you, to screw with that perfect, safe little life you lead.”.
Nixon was wrong for me. A towering brute of a man; arrogant, bossy, temperamental, and downright rude. He was determined to make me pay for what he believed were past sins. So why was I drawn to him? A slave to my senses; those feelings he awakened were untameable. I knew I should fight the attraction and keep my distance, but it was only a matter of time before he broke through my defences and fed off my heart.
Fallen
adjective
Having dropped or come down from a higher place, having sinned
Delicate, sweet-natured Jenna Taylor-Joy spends her days with her head in the clouds, having lived most of her life in a gilded cage. A sought-after beauty with a gentle, vulnerable soul who is used to being seen and not heard.
Nixon McKenna is a six-foot-four, well-built, tattooed hellraiser who thrives on conflict. He was brought up to be the biggest, toughest, and loudest of the McKenna brothers. And he bears a grudge the size of Norfolk, believing that the Taylor-Joys are responsible for the fire that destroyed his house. After his return from the army, Nixon is once again faced with his darkest secret: a relentless craving to own the beauty next door. The fragile Jenna; a girl who is forbidden.
Due to the bitter rivalry between their families, Jenna and Nixon will have some painful decisions to make. Do they give into the insatiable hunger they feel for each other? Or do they sever all ties before it consumes them both and destroys everyone around them?
Will an emotionally unavailable, man, claim the one girl who holds his heart? And will Jenna accept that embracing Nixon’s love and protection could result in her falling from grace...

Fantastic. Enjoyed even more than the first book of this series. Jenna is so sweet with more backbone that she is given credit for. Nixon is the large, overbearing alpha male who lives next door. Their relationship is complicated and at times, very much your enemies to lovers theme, but there is a tenderness to them. You also get to meet characters from the first book. Someone needs to knock Boyd McKenna out! Sex scenes are steamy and fun with a bit of rough stuff thrown in. You won't be dissapointed! Nixon is definitely a mean and brooding male and Jenna totally gets under his skin. Some great one liners! I would suggest reading them in order as the timelines cross over between each book. Good job M J Tennant!

Love it!
I loved Amy and Mason's story, and Jenna's and Nixon 's love story is enjoyable too! Family dynamics is interesting to me in the story. Can't wait for the next story
