HOLY COW!!!
VR has written another great book and seems to pick up not far after book 1 ends. We find Mason helping a woman whom he knows is high and forces her to his place to keep her safe only to find her bolting leaving behind a valuable piece of jewelry behind and sending her sister to get it.
Jess is tired of having to fix her drug addict sisters screw-ups and decides to help 1 last time only to come face to face with the man she has crushed on for the past 3-4 months.
Mace is floored to find Jess at his door, the woman he has wanted since he heard her voice months ago, the one woman he has wanted more than anything and the one woman whom he has already forsaken others for. Jess runs for the hills thinking the worst of Mace while Mace tries to figure out why she ran.
Finally Mace forces, well coerces, Jess to get together; only to be more and more drawn to her. Together they start falling for each other while Jess is trying her hardest to keep an emotional distance trying to hide her past from him. When everything comes crashing down and Mace takes the proverbial bullet for her, find out what happens when they see each other again and see if they can overcome everything in their way….
Great Job by VR for such a well written story that was so hard to put down. I can not wait for the next installment of THE NORTH SHORE CREW.
