Published description:
Jesse Ward drowned her with his intensity and
blindsided her with his passion, but he kept her away from his dark
secrets and broken soul. Leaving him was the only way Ava O'Shea could
survive. She should have known that Jesse Ward is impossible to
escape--and now he's back in her life, determined to remind her of the
sensual pleasures they had shared. Ava is equally determined to get at
the truth beneath this man's steely exterior. That means letting herself
get close to the Lord of the Manor once more. And it's exactly where
Jesse wants her--within touching distance...
Ok, so I'm surprised that I had this one on hold after remembering what the first one was. My face was so squinty and tense the entire time I was reading it, I gave myself a headache. TOTALLY FRUSTRATING - why did I even finish reading it? UGH! I must have been feeling guilty about something, don't know what but, was using this book as penance or something. Jesse is an unbelievably arrogant, controlling, hypocritical ass. Ava is a smart / independent woman that becomes a complete door mat. It is one thing to be a little possessive and maybe even over-protective but, geez, Mary & all the saints. Going to work to make sure I don't place the third in the trilogy on hold to torture myself.
