Release Date: May 20, 2014
Series: Jameson Sisters#1
Description:
There is something to be said for letting go. Ryland Roberts knows that better than anyone. He'd let go of his ambitions, of his family and—most of all—of her. He'd perfected the art of putting his past behind him and accepted the fact that the town he wanted to leave in his rearview was the place where he was going to live out his days. But sometimes the past doesn't just go away. Sometimes it comes back to haunt you.
Piper Jameson convinced herself that she left for all the right reasons. She'd saved people by leaving—made sure that they weren't tainted by her rebellious ways. When her little sister asks her to come home and say goodbye to their ailing mother, she's forced to see that things aren't always as they seem. The people who she'd left behind might not have been saved at all.
In the amount of time it takes a bullet to travel from point A to point B, Piper and Ryland will have to put their feelings for each other aside and make a choice. Forced on the run with Piper's sister, they begin to understand that the future they thought was gone was never really lost.
Review:
This was the kind of book I just couldn’t put down. Not only
was the story super-hot and sexy but it was original and beyond interesting as
well. This is my first book by Elizabeth
Lee but it will definitely not be my last, she had me at the edge of my seat
half the time wondering what they were going to do next, what would happen to
all of them and most importantly talk about a cri me and a half. There was some
serious material in this book, can we say hello Lifetime original movie!
We meet Piper who is on her way back to the hometown she
thought she’d never return to, to say her goodbyes to her dying mother. It was sad and all but I didn’t really feel a
connection there, because this story isn’t about her mom dying, nope this is
about her rekindling her relationship with her sister and with her ex
Ryland. Let’s not forget more
importantly the rocky relationship she has with a stepfather who was nothing
more than a controlling (enter bad word).
I don’t think I’ve ever disliked anyone from a book as much as I have
disliked this character; Lee did an amazing job of making you feel a certain
way towards each character in the book.
There was a lot of turmoil between Piper and Ryland but an
undeniable connection that they couldn’t resist any longer. When the two of them got together, the pages
just got steamier and it wasn’t overdone and it wasn’t under done, it was just
right, very realistic and possible and I think that’s what I enjoyed the
most. Elizabeth Lee has a way with words
and emotions. I was truly addicted to these two. Despite the getting on parts
in this book, again there was a crime that happened, and someone had to pay for
it, or did they? I can’t say what it was
but it was well deserved and even through all the commotion when the crime was
taking place even I felt chaotic reading it.
Who did it? I had to ask myself
that for a bit but I got it in the end, and man was this one a doozy but
necessary.
Overall I thought this book was fantastic and I would unquestionably
suggest book to anyone who wanted to read something new and refreshing, with a
little heat on the side. I can’t wait to
find out what will happen in the next book because the sneak peak was exactly
that a teaser that has me wanting more.
I can’t wait to find out what really happened to Hadley (Piper’s sister)
and of course how it will turn out in the end.
This is a really great start to an interesting series. I really like the cover too because it’s
simple and I can absolutely picture Piper and Ryland in the cover models.
