Jessa and Gil are in over their heads and it could prove costly to their hearts. Executive Liaisons is a maze. There’s always a twist waiting to steer off course. Bramseth has set her sights on tempting romance with a ton of drama and danger that just won’t quit. Former lovers find their careers, hearts and possibly their lives, hanging by a thread. With a past that continues to haunt them and danger rapidly stalking them, survival is the name of the game. A Jennifer Bramseth novel doesn’t know how to be boring because it knows what to do to be clever.
Jessa and Gil took me on a crazy, romantic ride. Their love started in college but decisions, regrets, choices pushed them apart. Now they both work at the Governor’s mansion. Will Jessa be willing to give Gil a fourth chance? Gil knows now that he made some bad decisions in the past but his love for Jessa remains. He doesn’t regret his daughter, Molly, the light of his life. As he battles for custody from a self-absorbed, soon to be ex, Leslie, he has to also navigate the crazy pressure of supporting the Governor. Does he even have time for a relationship with Jessa? Can her convince her to risk her heart again? I love how this series is woven into the fiber of political and legal life while keeping us in bourbon country. As a fan of the series, many of the prior characters are involved as these jobs interconnect along with their lives which gives me the chance to learn how all the characters are doing. Truly captivating, exciting, sexy and consuming. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Executive Liaisons by Jennifer Bramseth
Bourbonland #4
What a delight it is to sink into another legal romance by this talented author! It is never easy for her couples to find their happily ever after but it is so rewarding when they do!
In this book we have Jessa Mercer and Gil Humston who are given more than a second chance at love. Why? They keep running into obstacles and though they do love one another there is always something that seems to keep them apart UNTIL they finally FINALLY manage to get it right.
I loved Jessa’s big heart even though at times I wondered how she could continue to be so giving and loving. I understood why Gil made the choices he did sometimes but at other times want to smack him. Gil’s daughter was a precocious delight. The legal, political and other issues were intriguing and interesting while not going way over my head. I was invested in the outcome and rooting for the bad guys to get their comeuppances. That said…I am DYING to find out when Corrie and Clay will get their HEA even though I think it may be Candace and Ting’s turn next.
It is always a delight to return to the community that lives in Tennessee’s land of bourbon and I can’t wait for the next adventure to be released!
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
