Ok I need to start with the very ending of this book. Ok so Luce has fans on the internet that apparently write erotic fan fiction stories about him and Jessica added one in the ending of this book and it was freaking HAWT!!!
Anyways… lol!
Luce is a Vigilante that is all about getting the scum off the face of the earth. The child molesters, the rapists etc. His past is very traumatizing. Evangeline is a women who doesn’t understand why he killed her father and sets a trap to imprison him and kill him for revenge. But when she finds out her father has some secrets and he wasn’t the man she thought he was things change between them.
This book was so good! I couldn’t put it down! So many OMG moments I didn’t see coming that kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s Steamy AF and I’m really hoping Barrett has a book out because I’m finding him extremely interesting!
Amazing read. Luce and Evan are an amazing team. The journey they went on to get the answers needed was action packed. JG’s imagination blows me away. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
5 Vigilante Stars
Since day one of hearing about Luce I’ve wanted his story. I’ve wanted to know what was behind the dark, Sexy Vigilante. This story was fantastic, I couldn’t put it down. I just love when Jessica goes Dark and dark she went with Vigilante. This is a standalone story, but like most of Jessica’s books we get glimpses of Navesink Bank. Which is always enjoyable. The storyline blew my mind and it was all go from the first one word of this book. Ev’s is a kick ass character. She is fearless and one thing I love out of my leading ladies is a strong fearless woman!
Yes, pick this book up you won’t regret it!

Paulette Review
Luce is a little bit scary. He gives off the air that he could absolutely take care of whatever situation he finds himself in. I thought he would end up imprisoned by Evangeline for a lot longer than he was, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re honest to a fault.
Evangeline just wanted answers from the man who killed her father. She never thought he would give her answers, and also lead her to the place he knew she entered the U.S. when she was 3. He also tells her someone is trying to kill her.
Off on an adventure, Luce and Evan never imagine the people they’ll meet, the danger they’ll find themselves in, and the steps Luce will have to take to make sure they get home safely.
Jessica Gadziala always tells a wicked story, complete with spicy, sexy times and sometimes a pet thrown in for good measure. I always find myself siding with her anti-heroes because they find a way to live nicely in the grey that makes up everyone’s lives rather than trying to be all good or all bad.
This was a journey that started out dark and through every twist and turn in the story uncovered more darkness but at the same time a bright light also started forming in the darkness leading the way for an unconventional touching love story.
Luce is a man who has only ever known evil. From his parents to the men that do unspeakable acts against women and children. He is a vigilante that has taken it upon himself to get rid of those men.
Evangelina is a woman who was raised all over the world in an unconventional manner. Sheltered from the technology of the world but not from the atrocities done to people in third world countries. When her father is killed she decides to dip her toes into the vengeance realm and manages to get the upper hand on Luce.
This is where the light starts to enter both of their worlds. Luce – a man who has been emotionally shut down for most of his life starts to feel something when he is with Evan even though he is her prisoner at the start.
I loved both Luce and Evangelina so hard. These two grew so much together and filled in all the missing parts for each other. Her unconditional love for a man so scarred on both the inside and outside was beautiful and his love for her had his walls dropping and he was able to see that he could have more than just a life of a vigilante.
For Jessica series fans this book is loosely related to the Investigators series as Barrett Anderson has lots of page time along with a great bond with Evangelina’s macaw.
