Body: A leap of marital proportions.
Des has had her share of heartbreak. To protect herself, she likes her men cheap, easy, and for one night. Meeting O awakens a hope inside her; a hope that maybe there is a happily ever after for her.
O is virile, handsome, a gentleman, and young; maybe too young. He’s also a patient and Des doesn’t date the patients; not anymore. Unable to deny the attraction, she asks O out, against her better judgment.
Des is keeping secrets, dangerous ones, and O is more than willing to fight for her, no matter the cost. Convincing her that he’s the one for her, no matter their age difference, Des and O decide to take a leap that will change their lives.
With an attraction so sudden and so strong there’s bound to be problems.
When the past comes back to destroy Des, will O be able to save her? And will Des see the truth, that when love is involved, age is just a number?
Residing in Metro Detroit, International Bestselling Author J. M. started writing poetry and short stories as a young girl. Rediscovering her love of reading, after having her fourth child, she started writing again. She also works full time as an Office Manager for a large landscaping company.

Body by JM Witt is O’s story! I was so excited when I realized this! I loved Odysseus from the first Blind Vows series and couldn’t wait to find out what his story would be! When O meets Des at rehab she blows him off and thankfully he doesn’t take no for an answer. Des has some secrets that she just can’t hide any longer and she falls hard and fast for the smoking hot O! ~ Heather, 4.5 stars

I really enjoyed the first set of the Blind Vows series with Heath and Lucy and was so excited to find out that the second set was going to be about O.
We met Odysseus in the first part. He is the Kerrigan brother who served in the military and lost a leg. It seemed very fitting that he fell for a physical therapist. Des is a PT who refuses to date patients. However, she can’t seem to stay away from O, no matter how hard she tries.
“I was afraid. Afraid of the way my heart raced with him near, afraid of the way he looked at me like I was more than a potential lay, and afraid of the way I knew he’d steal my heart—”
At times, I just wanted to shake Des and tell her to open her eyes, especially about the age difference because O is such a good man. I also felt that things moved very quickly and would have preferred a bit more build-up of the characters.
I did love how much suspense and drama this story had and I can’t wait to read the next installment to find out what happens. Plus I need more of this: “Show me your O face.” ~ Tiffany, 4 stars

Let me show you my ‘O’ face… Ooooooooo, I loved this Kerrigan brother!! I think I swooned more than a little for Odysseus, and really, who could blame me? He’s so sweet and yet, so alpha.
Des doesn’t date patients, not with her past. And she certainly doesn’t date men younger than her. But there’s something about O that she can’t resist.
When Des’ dangerous past comes back and threatens them both, it seems a leap of faith is what they need to make it work. But can O convince his girl that age doesn’t matter in affairs of the heart…and keep her safe from harm?
Awww, I have mad love for O. He’s brave and strong and just says all these things that made my romantic heart pitter-patter. I really enjoyed the first part of the Blind Vows series – Lucy and Heath’s story – and was absolutely intrigued to see which of the romantically-named Kerrigan boys would be next…and I was thrilled it was this guy. He needs a HEA, for sure.
J.M. Witt definitely started this series with a bang. I wasn’t sure where she would take it, considering the original premise of the series, and I am happy that it’s not a re-hash of the first part. Des and O were a lot of fun and their story a fun, whirlwind-y (it could be a word, just go with it) tale. And then, the action… Both kinds. Whew!
I may not have always loved Des – she was just a little harder to connect with – but I did love her with O and I am looking forward to the next part… Thank goodness it’s not too long of a wait. ~ Beth, 4 stars
Trust Honor Love, the first 3-part serial in the Blind Vows series gave us Heath and Lucy’s story. The first Kerrigan brother got to experience his sweet, although difficult, love story. In Body, we get to meet another Kerrigan brother, Odysseus (O). O has scars left from his time serving his country. But those scars are more than just physical and attending physical therapy is what changes his life. Des is hiding scars of her own. Her scars run deep and the emotional toll they’ve taken on her have made her skeptical about love.
She is determined to keep him at a distance; he is a patient and a younger one at that. He is as equally determined to break down her walls and show her that age is just a number when it comes to love. When Des’ past comes knocking, her fear causes her to push O away. But O has gone to war; he knows a thing or two about battle and he is more than willing to go to battle for her.
Des and O’s story is intense, passionate, and nail-biting. They have their sweet and tender moments, their steamy scenes, and those moments where the action is so intense you will be left breathless. These characters are intriguing and you can’t help but cheer them on. I can’t wait for the rest of this rollercoaster!
I loved the first serial set by this author and had no doubt Body would ROCK my mind. I loved the banter between Des and O in the beginning of the story and found myself on pins and needles at certain moments. This author has a way of pulling me into her characters while loving, fighting and crying right along with them.
Des is an independent chick with a bit of a wild side hiding a past of fear and hurt.
O is...umm yea, I kinda love him. He's strong, protective and O....so HOT!!!
These two have a hell of a ride ahead of them and I can't wait to see where this incredible author takes their story. I have quite a few predictions so we'll see.
By now you should all know that I love J.M. Witt and her books. I am also extremely fortunate to have the chance to BETA read for her. So of course I was able to get my hands on Body few days ago and I have to say that I was floored. I loved Trust Honor Love and Heath and Lucy's story but in a way it was just a sweet romantic story. What you will get with Body so far is in times better. At least in my humble opinion. This was simply a page turner with the danger and action being on high speed. And in addition to that you have scenes so tender that they will make you sign and also a few hot ones that will leave you breathless :)
O and Des are simply such amazing characters. They will have you rooting for them from the beginning. Each one of them lived through a tragedy of a kind. With O, that's the tragedy he lived through while serving. And for Des, that's the nightmare she lived through few years back, that she still has to relive every once in a while. In each other they find their salvation. They find the tenderness and love that will save them suffocating in their demons. And O being the tender and romantic dominant with a penchant for protecting his woman is definitely quite a nice bonus :)
So, in a few words, this is one amazing short story. It has pretty much everything you cud crave :) Suspense, danger, action, heartbreak, tenderness, romance and some off the chart chemistry, it is all there :) I just can't wait to find out what will happen next. I am craving me some more O and Des and I would definitely love to see some more of their O faces :D
This is Book 2.1 in the Blind Vows Series. It is book one in the new Chapter there will be book 2 and 3 very soon. It can be read as a stand alone.
I gave this book 5 Holy Love Birds Batman, this book is hot!!! From the very first page I was hooked and didn't put it down. This is a short enough read you can read it in between your work break or taking care of the kids. It was sweet and loving, but also suspenseful and keep you wondering what is going to happen next.
I loved these two characters and getting to know them was interesting and heart breaking. Desi and "O" are two souls that have been through so much in their lives and they need that special someone that they can trust and be able to share anything and everything with. I can't wait to read the second installment in the series for more of Desi and O. They are such a hot amazing couple I am not sure that JM can give us a better couple!
Thank you JM for never disappointing! ! <3 I am a fan for life.
seriously?!?! cheese and crackers... I LOVED this. loved it.
If you read Health and Lucy's story, this one has a completely different feel. J.M. Witt is known for super hot stories with plots that make you want to throw your Kindle sometimes. She just brings out so many emotions. I knew that O's story would have a different pace, but I wasn't at all expecting this.
O & Des both know heartbreak, but on different levels. They are drawn to each other like a moth to a flame. Then Des's past makes an appearance and throws her world upside down. O wants to be the man to pick up her pieces and make her whole again. Can she throw caution to the wind and do what feels right?
The feels in this book are through the roof, which is crazy since this only 70-something pages. I never wanted it to end. I didn't want to give up that feeling I had while reading.
The scars we have... some are on the outside for the world to see, but some are buried deep inside. What happens when you find someone who not only over looks your imperfections, but loves you for them? THAT is this story. Cannot wait for the next part of this serial.
I really enjoyed the first set of the Blind Vows series with Heath & Lucy and was so excited to find out that the second set was going to be about O.
We met Odysseus in the first set. He is the Kerrigan brother who served in the military and lost a leg. It seemed very fitting that he fell for a physical therapist. Des is a PT who refuses to date patients. However, she can’t seem to stay away from O, no matter how hard she tries.

I did love how much suspense and drama this story had and I can’t wait to read the next installment to find out what happens. Plus I need more of this: “Show me your O face.” (4 stars)
I thought I couldn't love a Kerrigan brother more than I did Heath and then I met Odysseus(O)!!! O is a wounded soldier that has just as many inner scars as outer ones. When he sees a beautiful woman at his physical therapy he decides he needs a little more than PT from her....
Des is a woman who gets her "rocks" off and leaves them. She doesn't have time or heart for anything more than a one night stand. But O should be off limits..he is a patient...she shouldn't want him...she shouldn't spend time with him..
When Des's past comes back to haunt her she will need O more than she thought but she doesn't want to risk his life. O doesn't care...he will do whatever it takes to make sure that Des is safe and in his arms where she belongs..
Get ready for the gun fire!! Literally!!! This book was explosive and HOT!! There was no slow crockpot simmer....oh no..this connection started out with a blaze and left a path! I can't wait to see what in store next for Des and O!
Holy Hot & Delicious Alpha, Batman!!! Just when you think it's impossible for a Kerrigan brother to get any hotter, the next one does!!!
Odysseus 'O' Kerrigan is an injured vet who gets the hots for his smart-mouthed and quick-whited physical therapist: Des Greene. Both have been broken and seek solace in one another to heel. Unfortunately, we can never truly run from the past.
This serial will keep you at the edge of your seat. J. M. Witt has done it again, creating an amazing set of characters and a world that engulfs you and doesn't let go. I highly recommend this and the entire Blind Vows series. Make sure to pick up Trust Honor Love part 1 of the series if you haven't yet.
A Kerrigan brother does it again! While recovering from combat trauma Odysseus Kerrigan hits physical therapy sessions. Desiree Greene traded in her MD for PT. When the two cross paths one afternoon the chemistry is like no other. But, Des swore off dating patients and O isn't the kind of man to entertain the same woman for long. The decision is easy. They should steer clear of one another. Though, sometimes things are easier said than done
JM pulls out all the stops in this installment. The perfect combination of former heartbreak, current trust issues, sexual tension, angst, and determination.
I was Lucky enough to get gifted a copy by the Author I loved Trust,Honor,Love,
But oh boy I loved Loved Body O and Des Story, it is one amazing short story, It has suspense Action heart break romance, I really can't wait for the next book to see what happens,
O and Des are such great Character's they both have Tragedy of some Kind in their past and they hit it right off.
Des is independent, with a bit of a wild side to her she has meaningless one night stands Till she gets involved with O
O ...is Hot protective I really like him .
If you read Trust,Honor,Love and you loved O this is a must read such a great story .
And the experiment continues. First, if you haven't read the first installments to these serials I HIGHLY suggest you go back and do that. You will love this second installment that much more once you have some background on O.
What I love about O and Des's story? Just about everything. I suspect Des is just the person O needs, I suspect that in the end of this season we will find out that O needs someone much more than he lets on and that perfect someone is Des. If he can just keep her safe from the psycho stalking her.
I'm so excited about this book!! I love O!! He doesn't have a filter when it comes to saying anything and he so protective and sweet! And he is not into playing games. I like the dinamics of this couple, they are so easy going with each other and I like the back and forth they have were they have fun and enjoy each other. I couldn't put it down, it has twists that I didn't expect so this just keeps getting better!
This book is all about the O. Odysseus Kerrigan is former military who got hurt in the field and lost a part of him he can never get back. Des is a doctor at his rehab facility who is only into meaningless hookups and the age difference between her and O. What happens when O finally gets through to her that age is just a number? What happens when their pasts come back to haunt them? Find out in part 1 of this 3 book series!
Loved this book. I cannot wait for more on these two. I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest opinion but somehow it disappeared off my kindle but found it in my documents. Sorry my review is late. I felt horrible for O when we read what happened to him in Lucy and Heath's book and was hoping he would find someone who could be with him for the right reasons! Saul....wtf is up with him? He will get what's coming to him....SOON!! Great Beginning to a new series
Holy wow. Um, yeah. This one knocked me sideways in the best way. Caught me off guard and kept my heartrate up for sure. Playful banter, suspense, hotness. Can't wait to see where this goes!!!
O and Des are a hot couple! She's got a cloud hanging over her head. O wants to help clear the cloud. Can love at first site really happen? Read and find out!!! Highly recommended.
You can’t always fight what your body is feeling. Des is a 34 year old physical therapist who has been the love em and leave type. After one particularly bad relationship, she doesn’t see the point in settling down. She has her fun for one night and then leaves. All seems to be working well for Des, until she meets Odysseus aka O Kerrigan.
We first met O in Trust, Honor, Love when he was injured on a tour overseas and had to get part of his leg amputated. One of the most horrific events of his life turned into a blessing when he laid eyes on Des. O knew there was something between them and that he had to have more.
Again, because of a bad relationship, Des has vowed to never date a patient again. That is proven to be rather difficult when the patient is O Kerrigan. As much as she tries to fight it, Des can’t help but be attracted to O. She keeps telling herself it won’t work but her body is telling her otherwise.
I love that Des was an older woman who caught the eye of the young stallion. Being in my thirties it made me feel good that the heroine of the story wasn’t a clumsy, twenty something who just happened to stumble upon a hot man. Des is a strong woman who had her demons and O wanted nothing more than to help her rid her mind of them. Just when we think Des and O might have a future, we find out the reason why Des is so hesitant to let O in.
Will Des and O be able to fight past her demons together, or will Des leave O to deal with things on her own?
I loved the first Blind Vows set and was so glad to know there would be more. I was super-excited when I found out the 2nd volume would be Odysseus' story! We were introduced to Odysseus in the first Blind Vows series. He lost his leg while serving a tour overseas. He has his sights set on Des the moments he sees her. She has "been there, done that" dating a patient and swears she will never put herself in that position again. If you read the first Blind Vows series, you know how presuasive those Kerrigan brothers can be. O is no different! I love the banter back and forth between O and Des. The end of this book will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going to happen next!
Have you ever read an author and they write a book that TOTALLY blows you away?? JM Witt does exactly that in Body. This story is unique and I haven't read anything like it thus far. If you have read the first serial you have met O and know some of his story. Out of all ofnthe Kerrigan boys O is the most romantic in my opinion and quite old fashioned to an extent. Des, Des Des Des....... Girl has demons and they don't seem to be going away any time soon. Together they are explosive!! Will they be able to Take the Leap???
Definitely a must read. You will laugh, you May cry... And you will definitely fall in love!!
Wow, exciting, intrigue, mystery, lust, sex, violence, abuse, rape, this book has it all. O is attracted to Des, therapist/Dr, even though she isn't assigned to him, she feels like there is still the patient conflict issue, then the fact she is older, weighs on her. Then take into account she has a crazy stalker, wow, this is an exciting book, awesome electric/ sizzling connection between the two, cannot wait for book 2.
