Jules has got a score to settle against the drug dealers of Denver. Vance has made it his mission that Jules won’t get dead while dishing out vigilante justice. Jules doesn’t have time for romance, she’s too busy saving the world and she enlists Zip (the gunstore owner), Heavy (an ex-PI) and Frank (a mysterious recluse) to help.
The Rock Chicks of Fortnum’s Bookstore get involved to provide romantic advice and guidance, none of which Jules accepts at first. The Hot Bunch of Nightingale Investigations adopt Jules as one of their own. Even though Jules tries to hang on to her inner Head Crackin’ Mamma Jamma, the Rock Chicks; Hot Bunch; Jules’s long-suffering Uncle Nick; Jules’s friend the rotund, African-American, Jackie-O wannabe, May; and especially Vance will stop at nothing to wear her down.
But Jules makes some bad guys pretty angry and one is dedicated to taking her out. Vance and the Hot Bunch have to pull out all the stops to keep her alive. At the same time, Jules and Vance learn the true meaning of home but once they find this precious entity they’ve been searching for all their lives, will Jules’s enemies tear it away?
Oh man yet another amazing book by Kristen Ashley. Vance and Jules have a completely different dynamic than the rest of the girls for sure. For one when Jules tells him to back off, he does and everyone her included thinks he took off and abandoned her. So everyone is angry with him when in reality he is giving her space to figure out what she wants and needs.
In the midst of this Jules and Luke become friends and Luke gets a little too close, needless to say Vance freaks the f out loll. Totally worth reading that part cause he did it to himself.
I love Vance's character ever the cool cucumber zen dude he reads a ton of books but still a complete bad-ass that will protect her with his life. Jules is another story, she lost a kid in her social work and found his body and ends up going after the drug dealers that caused his death and crosses paths with the boys and Vance when she becomes a target.
Love their dynamic, him with all his experience relationship and sexual and her with absolutely none on both accounts. It makes for a interesting and different relationship and dynamic in the story.
Cant wait to read more in this series. Luke's story is up next cant wait to see what happens.
