A wonderful storyline. Jasper and Ashley have great chemistry. Jasper is attracted to Ashley when he started his physical therapy with her, but she had rules about dating patients. They meet again later at a wedding and they can’t stop their attraction. A great mix of romance and suspense. Another great story from this author.
Like every other Jen Talty I’ve read, this short story keeps you on the edge of your seat and desperate to see what happens. Jasper and Ashley seem to have only his physical therapy in common, until he is her date for a family wedding – and what a family group it turns out to be. I don’t want to post details – anything is a spoiler! Just enough to say that betrayal comes from the most hurtful places sometimes, and that, as always, you feel better for reading this story! It’s hot, it’s caring, it’s suspenseful.
Loved Jasper and Ashley’s story
This may be a short read, but there is a whole lot going on in it. The man Jasper is today is no longer the boy he once was. That’s both good and bad. After being careful to keep their relationship strictly business, physical therapist Ashley, knows all bets are off when they run into each other at a wedding. Secrets come to light that were supposed to stay dead and buried. Secrets that could kill not only their budding relationship, but Jasper and Ashley too. The action flies by at a breakneck pace – don’t blink or the book will be over before you realize it. The story is sweet, spicy, and so funny. It’s the perfect mix.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
This is an action packed novella that is sweet, with fairly complex characters , suspense and an engaging plot. Not an easy feat to accomplish in just a few pages.
The main characters, Jasper and Ashley are likable and real. They meet when Jasper , a former Green Beret and now State Trooper, has a knee injury and is in need of a physical therapist. The attraction is there from the moment they meet , but Ashley grew up as an Army brat, and will not date military men. Fast forward a few months, and they meet again at the wedding of a dear friend of Ashley’s. From there on, this fast paced story is filled with touching moments as well as revelations about Jasper’s past and who is after him.
Always a pleasure to read something written by Ms Talty.
