** Book Review- Dangerous Exile (An Exile Novel Book 3) by K.J. Jackson

   

 

A titan of the underworld with a forgotten past. A damaged lady that needs to disappear. Can a chance reunion unlock long hidden secrets in this steamy historical?

On the run from the man that nearly killed her.
Bruised and battered, Nessia Docherty is in desperate need of a safe haven and she finds one in one of London’s most notorious gaming hells. Somewhere safe to heal, to recover, if only she can convince the owner of the club, Talen Blackstone, to let her stay—a man she is astounded to find she knows from her childhood.

He rules his area of the underworld with wits and fists.
Talen Blackstone earned his reputation the hard way, with grit and determination and bloodied fists. Feared in his area of the rookeries, he keeps his powerful empire in tight order and the unwelcome arrival of a beaten young chit in his office cannot be tolerated. But favors must be repaid, and taking in Ness satisfies one favor he’d like to erase from the books.

A lost past exposes long hidden secrets.
Ness is positive she remembers Talen from long ago, but he insists he isn’t the boy she remembers. Not that he actually remembers his past. But he cannot deny the heated sparks between the two of them, and when a vicious threat from Ness’s past appears, he’ll do anything—including facing the past—to gain the future he’d never imagined. A future with Ness.   AMAZON LINK

5+ STARS

Intense, unpredictable are only the beginning of what I can say about this book. 

The things that Ness has endured is both wild and so unfair not to mention painful.  Talen has had his share of his own pain and violence.  But it only makes these main characters even more interesting. So does their attraction that develops between them.  No matter how hard they fight against it especially Talen. He has no memories of tenderness and sees no need for it. He has one close mate that he trusts.  Declan has provided himself over and over through time.

So many secrets chasing these two as well as some pretty dangerous enemies; both known and a few unknown.  Think you got it all figured out?  Don't be too sure because there is a wowser of a surprise that I didn't see coming.  Loved that ! 

I finished the story with a sigh of relief and a smile on my face.
