Jasper Kendrick… British, brooding, and dark, he hid his past when he came to work for Virgin Islands Personal Fitness. As the face of VIP, he keeps his bad-boy image buried beneath expensive designer suits and with copious amounts of sex. But even his wealth and good looks can’t drive out the demons that haunt him.
He couldn’t save them, but he can save her. Even so, it just may be her that saves him.

Daisy Jones… Despite being born in Sweet Birch Hollow, the backwoods of Tennessee, she is a gifted country girl with formal degrees in all aspects of accounting. After becoming an FBI informant, she has to hide from her criminal husband, who wants her dead. On the run, she takes the position as a financial executive at VIP.
Her first meeting with Jasper is anything but cordial. But when the cold, mysterious man offers his protection, she can’t refuse, and when he all but moves her into his home—
It seems there may be more than a war brewing on the horizon.

Jasper and Daisy! OMG this is now my favourite Cory book.

I love the stories Cory writes about older women and younger men, watching them grow together and find themselves.

I can NEVER write a review to do this book or any of Corys books justice. You just need to read them, her books are always a one click for me and never a disappointment.

💙*🖤*🌼 Jasper is a hot and sexy Brit! 🌼 *🖤*💙

He’s hot as all hell. He’s British, and he has a hero complex. Wow, just wow. I could wax lyrical about Jasper Kendrick for hours. I was privileged to proof read this book before the cover was released, and I could hear his sexy British accent in my head as I read through. I’d built an image in my mind, and the gorgeous cover chosen by Cory Cyr is exactly how I imagined Jasper would look!

This book is the second in the VIP Fitness War and Piece Chronicles, but each stands-a-lone. Can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to go back and read Kai first though. Cory’s books are witty, hilarious, and make for great time spent reading!

Jasper is put out that the silent partner of VIP Fitness has hired an accountant, meaning he now has to spend more time with their clients. He’s not really a people person. He’s stoic and unapproachable. There’s one thing he loves though, and that’s sex. A lot of it with a lot of women, and once only. He describes loss in a haunting and defensive tone that had me wondering what the hell he’d been through in his 29 years. Whatever it was, it left him with a bitter and guilty outlook on life. Despite that, when he discovers that the sexy woman whose acerbic attitude is driving him crazy is hiding from a contract on her life, he steps in save her.

Daisy August was on the run for her life from her husband who was not only physically abusive, but involved in illegal and deadly activities. She’d gone to the FBI, been suspected by her husband, and finally beaten till unrecognisable. Things had gone bad, so she’d escaped, served divorce papers, and run. Changing her name, she’d applied for an accounting job at VIP Fitness. Daisy is also no shrinking violet, despite her relationship with abusive soon-to-be-ex-husband, so, when she meets the handsome and sexy Jasper, it is his attitude that has her fired up and angry. Not the best start. I loved it! Oh, and she noticed the size of his hands – they were huge enough to make her all hot under the collar.

There is so much heat and chemistry between these two, and while it burns slowly, it’s all as hot as hell, funny as a fight and so damn witty that I couldn’t put the book down. Now, I’ve one-clicked my own copy. Cory Cyr, you rock this older woman/younger man trope, and congratulations on another fantastic book. It’s my new favourite!!!!!! 5 Stars.

Ohhhh Jasper. I was intrigued with him when we first meet him in Kai. And boy does he sweep you off your feet and make you want to just swoon for him! The concept in this book is amazing and leaves you breathless. Not just from the passion that is off the charts but also from the back story of everything that Daisy is going through. While these two both have a past that haunts them, they heal each other and keep each other strong as the story progresses. I love their wit and banter as well. I giggled a lot because Daisy keeps Jasper on his toes. While things get thrown at them, I love how Daisy is strong to withstand the storm that brews. Literally and figuratively. These two are both fighters and will fight for those they love no matter the cost.
As an avid Cyr fan, this book delivers everything you need in a story. Passion, romance, intrigue and a beautiful one of a kind love. Cyr writes such a stunning story that flows off the page and you cannot help but get wrapped up in the world she has created. Fluid writing and flawless storyline, you are delivered into a world that is one of a kind. Can I please have some Reese? After Kai and Jasper, Reese needs some love and I adore his character. I cannot wait to see who will knock him on his butt!

Daisy isn't your ordinary country bumpkin from Hickville, USA. She made sure she got an education and got as far away from her old life as she could. Her old life wasn't a bad one but it wasn't a life she wanted.

Insert a miserable cheating lying con husband and the FBI for one heck of a story!!!

Jasper isn't free of a past either. He has his own skeletons in his closet! By the end of the book though, I was swooning over Jasper!

Jasper and Daisy couldn't be more opposite, in my eyes. Could it be true what they say? Opposites attract? Read Jasper and find out!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jasper! It was a fun, comedic and thrilling read! I love Cory's writing style!

I hope you love Jasper as much as I did!!

I really do have to mention Reese! Poor guy! After striking out twice, I really do hope he gets the HEA his poor heart deserves! Xoxo

Cory Cyr created a beautiful and hot masterpiece. So far is my absolute favorite out of all her books. Daisy and Jasper have an intense chemistry from their first meeting/argument. They become consumed when naughty thoughts, but Jasper has a darkness in him that he attempts to stay hidden and Daisy is running from a problem so is cautious of opening her self up. Sometimes bad weather can bring positivity if you know how to look at it, you will understand this reference once you read the book ;). If Jasper's book was better than Kai, I wonder if Reese's will be better than this one. I patiently wait for more!!! And I am curious if Jasper's sister Rumour will find love with a new employee at VIP. Only time will tell in the next book :)

I love every one of Cory Cyr's younger man\older woman books.  Jasper's book was no exception.  I love nothing more than a hot, sexy, tall, tattooed guy with a British accent.  So yummy.  Daisy was perfect for Jasper.  Opposites certainly do attract.  You get hot sex, great dialogue and drama.  HEA is also a must for Cory's books. This book will not disappoint.

I prefer romantic suspense, so this older woman/ younger man erotic romance with a suspenseful secondary storyline suited me well. Daisy is 43, from Tennessee, a forensic accountant, and on the run from her abusive, money-laundering, and dangerous husband. She is hired by Harriet, the silent business partner of Kai, Jasper, and Reese. Daisy has taken over Jasper's job at VIP Fitness, and he is not happy about that. Reese of course hits on Daisy, but doesn't get anywhere with her.

Jasper is 29, not into older women, loves only his sister and niece, and has a terrible secret from his past that he refuses to share with even Kai and Reese. One of the things I enjoyed the most was the contrast between American Southerner Daisy and her cooking, and Jasper and his British ways. The banter was fun. The erotic sex scenes were enough, though I admit to skimming as I am not big on erotic romance. This has graphic language as well as explicit sex scenes. Depending on what you like that is either good or bad news for you.

I enjoyed the suspense storyline that was strong enough to captivate me and had a cool twist at the end. I am curious and ready for Reese's romance as he is the one who most wants to fall in love and marry, and he doesn't have a negative attitude to older women. He is the youngest of the group. I am hoping that Harriett will be next as she is the mysterious, silent partner that no one has met in person.
