Jade Fierce thought she had it all. Many looked at her and assumed the same thing. She’s been misunderstood her whole life and was just sick of it. With all her brothers sliding into love around her, the dreams she’s had of wanting the same were suffocating her. But the last thing she plans on having done is her parents setting her up!
Brock James’s life changed forever the day a bomb exploded leaving him injured. With his military career over, he sets his sights on a new adventure. This one needing some help from none other than the sexy engineer he was partnered with at his best friend’s wedding the previous year. Only now he is worried she’s going to find out her parents might have had a hand in it and want nothing to do with him.
Jade Fierce is the youngest and only daughter in the Fierce family. She is in her 30s, unattached, and her parents, aunt and uncle plan to find the man for her. Is it Brock James?
I couldn’t wait for Jade’s story and I was not disappointed. Jade and Brock had an attraction to each other that even the elder Fierce’s could see. So why not set them up? Jade was determined that she would not be set up by her parents, so she would just ask out her newest client, Brock James. Little did she know that the whole “new client” meeting was a set up. Natalie Ann is one of the best HEA authors in Contemporary Romance. There is always a little bit of edge of your seat, emotional roller coaster ride and always a page turner.
So been waiting for Jade's book. Always a bridesmaid or maid of honor never a bride so she thinks. Jade's afraid she won't find anyone whose not worried about her smarts or the type of job she has. Oh and let's not forget her mouth which can get her into trouble. Enter Brock, wounded warrior trying to figure out his life. Love everything about this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This is a sincere love story between two complex people, Brock and Jade.
Brock James was a career military man until he and his team hit an IUD, and he was severely injured. Even though he has recovered, he will never be at peak enough condition to serve again in the military.
Brock has extensive scars that he describes as “red and ugly. He has not been with a woman since he has been injured, and he is unsure how they will react to his scars. He also worries whether he will actually be able to follow through on sex. Another fear is that Brock has no idea if he is able to father children. These fears are forefront when he begins a relationship with Jade.
Brock’s new career is as the head of the security at a hospital where some of the Fierce family work. He also has an idea for an invention that he would like create and use. He shares this idea with his close friend Travis Fierce, Jade’s sister. All of this leads Brock directly to Jade Fierce, who is an engineer in the Fierce family business.
Jade is one of two girls in the Fierce family of brothers and cousins. Even though she has been teased and ordered around by her brothers and cousins for her entire life, the two families are a very close-knit family. As a result, Jade has learned not to cry or show any feelings.
In spite of their complex personalities, Brock and Jade begin an honest relationship. Although they both have insecurities and are slow to fall in love, they never deny their strong chemistry or their feelings for each other. I am happy to say that neither Brock nor Jade stoop to game-playing or pretense to hide their feelings. They always help each other and support each other in everything they do or feel.
I love this passionate love story between Brock and Jade. Their sizzling chemistry is obvious to the reader from the first moment they meet. Yet their passion is always mixed with respect, admiration and love for each other.
Jade Fierce like her cousin Ella was a tough girl growing up with brothers and working in a male dominated environments. She needed a strong man to support her, but not let her push him around and she finds that in Brock. Like Ella Jade is a fashionista and Brock like Travis is ex military and minimalist. It's a case of opposites attract and there are similarities to their stories. Brock is dealing with physical and emotional scars and Jade is tested in this book with the possibility of losing the one thing she has always wanted. It was an emotional moment and I felt for them both. As with all the other Fierce romances there was plenty of humor, sibling and cousin teasing, parents meddling, and steamy romance.
Enjoyed this book from start to finish. Jade the youngest of two sets of twins was tough with three brothers. She worked hard and was active in staying in shape. Brock James was a Navy Seal that was a friend of her cousins husband. Brock had left the navy because of injuries of a bomb. They start working on a project that he had to send things to soldiers cookies, chocolates and things that didn't make it there in good shape, or eatable. They start seeing each other. Her family likes him, but his mother don't care for her. But they love each other and they work things out by talking to each other. There is a few health scares. Great read☺😯😕😂😀
This book is so far the best out the series! Jade is everything I imagined her to be! It was fast paced, emotionally charged, full of chemistry and a page turner. I just couldn't put if down. Jade and Brock meet at Ella' and Travis's rehearsal dinner and see their attraction immediately. Brock is a Commander of the Navy and he gets injured. He decides recuperate and stays with his best friend Travis for a few weeks and later decides to relocate to Durham. In the meantime Jade and Brock meet at several Fierce family functions. It's a beautiful romantic journey by these two and you will love reading about them as they overcome their obstacles. It's a opposite attraction HEA!
I laughed, snorted, shot out my soda thru my nose, struggled to breathe & even got side craps from the hilarious dialogue & situations in the romance. Mizz Natalie made me UGLY CRY by the given her strong-willed couple have to grow into & out of so many different phases of their old to new lives. Also it was AMAZBALLS that the Fairy Nosey Godfolks got played, too. Mizz Natalie so deserves my too score of 5 fingers up &10 toes for unique storyline!!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a very good love story. I think Jade and Brock were written in a way that made the story so believable. I loved the way that the family members were included in this book. Another great read by one of my favorite authors Natalie Ann who has made this series awesome to read. Can't wait to read Ryder next.
Absolutely loved Jade and Brock's love story! Perfectly matched by her family, Jade finds what she has been looking for with Brock. Brock has to deal with his mother who is having a hard time of it
I have enjoyed several books in this series. Jade is one of the few women in this extended family and her personality has been shaped by dealing with all the older brothers and cousins.
