COMING: N O V E M B E R 3 0
WOMEN HAVEN'T BEEN HIRED TO WORK IN MY BAR FOR A REASON: they’re too tempting and too distracting—too much of a liability—even if they are good for business…
That’s why I shocked myself by hiring Avery Cole. She’s young, carefree, and happy—a beautiful distraction. When she’s around, the devastation of my past gets buried under layers of lust and desire… hints of a life I once lived but have completely given up on.
I’ve already had my love and now that’s gone; there’s no need to try again. Even if love is staring me right in the face with a pair of deep brown eyes and no expectations.
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT SHAW O'SULLIVAN? He’s rude, abrasive, sexy—and my boss. He’s also broken in ways I would never have seen if I hadn’t been looking. Which means he should be off limits; my heart and body cannot handle his baggage. I’m on a quest to find myself, and Shaw O’Sullivan will only get in my way and drag me down.
Where I’m light, he's dark. We don't mix and neither of us are looking for love, so what happens when it finds us anyway?
"I had love. I had the greatest love. I had the love of a lifetime. Enough for two lifetimes." -Shaw
"When I think of Shaw, I think of something my daddy once told me: integrity isn't about what you do when people are looking, it's about what you do when they're not." -Avery
"This is a Celtic tree of life," he finally says, a broad hand running over his defined pectoral muscle. "The endless knots represent how nature is eternal. Everything, and everyone, is woven together without end...life is continuous and it just keeps going and going..."
"What about these?" I ask, pointing to more of the black that paints his upper torso. "More Celtic symbols...a Trinity Knot...Triquetra," he says with a lilt to his voice. "All of the men in my family have one."
REVIEW
First of i want to thank author Jiffy Kate for the ARC, i very much appreciate it. Now I will tell you that Jiffy Kate is anew (to me) author, therefore I have not read any of her books previously. All i can say is that NOW she is part of my favorite author's group! In love with her writing style, characters and story line! Besides the fact that the cover model is gorgeous, the blurb is what caught my interest!
Avery got the short end of the stick, but when fight or flight became the only option...she chooses flight! New anything can be scary, intimidating and fearful, but Avery is a strong woman, very strong. Boy, did she get the short end of the stick! When Avery meets SHAW O'SULLIVAN she wishes she didn't. He not only was broody but a arrogant sexist asshole!
"He was an asshole, Grade--A, prime choice, top-of--the--line, asshole deluxe." -Avery
Shaw O'Sullivan has to be the sexiest man alive! Who wouldn't want a tall, handsome, tattooed with beard man? Especially if that man also happens to own a motorcycle and own a bar?! He is fighting with his own dark daemon that has lasted for five years.
Without giving away too much, the beginning of this story will have your heart breaking, luckily Shaw will come to the rescue (the helper, the saver). Watch these two characters battle themselves along with each other. Great suspense, so much passion and the family love, is insane! You will meet CeCe who is #bestfriendgoals times ten! I am looking forward to more from Jiffy Kate, and will be reading everything else she has. This was that fantastic! HIGHLY Recommended, make sure to get your pre-order in when it's available!
