What is wrong

I use to enjoy reading your books, not now too much arguments back and forth no headway on anything just wasted words. No energy, no suspense, very boring does not hold your attention at all.

[Merry Jelks-Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

She's a dynamic lawyer who has to foster kids that are brothers and plans to adopt them when she starts getting cryptic messages about dropping a case. As the drama heats up a bodyguard is hired and the chaos really begins because sparks fly with Jax and Crystal and everything goes up a notch when he moves in to protect. The boys are drawn to him as well and when information begins to solidify it looks like everything ties back to the MC he was once part of who is looking to get revenge. Will Jax be able to keep them all safe for the fight ahead. This story had me all caught up in the main characters as it escalates.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

Ms. James wrote another amazing story that I loved reading. Crystal was a woman on a mission. She ran a non-profit that was always fighting for the little guy. She was raising two foster sons that she was on the list to adopt. Everything seemed to be going fine until Crystal started receiving threats. The board said that she needed protection and in walks Jax. He looks like a man that can handle anything, including her heart. This story sends you on a rollercoaster ride of suspense.

A good book

This is my first time reading this author’s work and I was frustrated a lot. The repetition of the issue of ‘blood’ was annoying. I think this story could have been wrapped up earlier.
I am glad it ended with happily ever after! 😥
