“I want to kiss you in front of the world and let every ogling man know you’re off limits, especially Roland. You may think of him like a brother, but I see him look at you and I don’t like it. If he’s a brother, then he’s an incestuous little bastard.”

My Review:
Second chance love and life stories for an ex-con with a history of poor choices is not an uncommon trope or choice for the main character, but it is when the ex-cons are women newly released from the same prison. I was intrigued by storylines of this series and enjoyed the odd juxtaposition of the characters. I have always enjoyed Ms. Collins clever humor and amusing metaphors. She has a knack for steamy romances with an underlying and unexpected sweetness to her interesting yet deeply flawed characters. They are typically complicated and captivating. I find her writing to be smart and insightful, as well as entertaining. The protagonists in these stories were instantly attracted yet wary of each other, but thankfully, their passion and chemistry – and years of forced celibacy – were too hard to fight back. I am already looking forward to the next parolee.
