Even angels have their demons
Jordan Reiss is well aware that if she was on fire the entire town of Oak Creek would probably go inside and make a sandwich. She can't blame them. Her father scammed half the town out of their retirement funds, and then she...
She did so much worse.
She doesn't expect forgiveness. But she's back in town with no other options and just wants to be left alone to live on the fierce Wyoming land she's missed so much during her six years in prison.
Former Navy SEAL Gabriel Collingwood's callsign may have been Angel, but he'll be anything but to protect his sister. Especially from a pretty ex-con who has somehow weaseled her way into a job at his sister's new bakery.
He doesn't trust Jordan, even with her big gray eyes and quiet smile.
But when someone decides its time for Jordan to leave Oak Creek--preferably in a body bag--Gabe will have to put his distrust aside. Jordan needs her own guardian angel. And he happens to be one. AMAZON 5 STARS
Plenty of action going on in this one! GREAT main characters and intense emotions too!
There is an interesting start to the story. And some intense interaction between Jordan and Gabriel, starting on Jordan's porch. Wasn't expecting that but it was good.
But don't count out some of the secondary people in the story either. Jordan may not feel like she has any friends in the town but the people of Linear Tactical Unit and their girl friends definitely are in her corner.
The town of Oak Creek has quite the hate on for Jordan and her father. Since they can't get to her father, Jordan takes all of their heat. And they do dish out quite a few problems for her. She realizes that just seeing her makes them re-live what they have lost and they just want her gone. She understands but she is so alone and it hurts.
The author did a good job of making you feel some of what she has had to deal with. Jordan even thinks about it's been so long since anyone even gently touched her.
There's a twist that I didn't see coming about 60% into the book. I maybe should have but the author did a good job of keeping the tension up in the book. Another reason I probably didn't see it coming was because there was so much other trouble going on. Not confusing though which I appreciated.
There is sexual heat in this story along with fairly detailed sex. Just saying for people who want to know.
I really liked the nickname "Rainfall" that Gabriel gave Jordan and the sweet reasons behind it. That also added more tender moments to the story too!
I liked how the story ended and it had at least one or two smile-worthy surprises. I definitely would like to read more of the books from this particular series. I have read at least one other book from this author and really liked that one too. It was also the reason I wanted to give this book a try. This book knocked it out of the park for me. I hope in the final copies the unique chapter icon is used. It was pretty cool.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
