Max “Slick” Jones
has never led an easy life. He’s rough, hardened and tatted on the outside and
never once thought that he deserved to be loved. Despite his upbringing, he’s
dedicated his life to helping others. When his old friend Asher Wellington
calls upon his services, he drops everything knowing he has a lifetime of debt
to fulfill to this family. But, what he didn’t expect was to meet Chloe.
Chloe Peters grew
up in a privileged, picture perfect life with amazing parents and her twin
brother, Kyle. She and Kyle were living out their lifelong dream until one
second, one moment in time changed everything and sent her into a tailspin she
thought she could never recover from.
Will the exchange
of deep dark pain in the eyes of two hardened souls open the door to a happily
ever after?
Can Max show Chloe
that there can be life after tragedy? Can Chloe Show Max that he is worthy of
love?
Sometimes the
hardest person to forgive, is yourself.
This is a mature
audience book, and is intended for adults only.
She walks over to the
window, pulls back the sheer white curtain, and stares out into what seems like
nothingness. She places her forehead on the glass and slowly shakes it back and
forth. I can’t stand to see her like this. I walk across the room and stand
behind her. I question whether or not I should even touch her. My hand hovers
over her arm as the hairs stand on end, begging me for my touch. Her mind is
telling her no, but her body is crying out to me, begging me for help. Ever so
softly I touch the back of her arms. She jumps and picks her head off the
window, but doesn’t shrug it away. I run my hand down the back of her arms and
bury my nose in the crook of her neck. I feel the goose bumps forming on her
arms and I hear her breathing increase. I know she’s still in this broken
shell. I know if I don’t do something now, I risk the possibility of never freeing
her from her demons. And I know just what I need to do.
5 stars
When I started
this, I was so happy for Max and Chloe. They both deserved to be happy, along
with Asher, Kyle and Adrian and their significant others. Max was sort of an
enigma, you didn't know much about him, but what you did know stuck with you.
This book brings Max out and just shows exactly what kind of person he is. He
is complex and loving, fun and so caring, sensitive and dominant, and many
other things, just as we all are. Chloe was doing really well, and then came
the mistake that Max made. I understand why he thought that way, but it took
him a long time to come around to a better way of thinking that was not just
better for Chloe, but himself as well. It was a horrible few months, that's for
sure. But the lengths that Max goes to in order to ensure that Chloe heals and
becomes all she can be was amazing to read about. I absolutely loved the end,
and I hope this is not the end of the series.
I am an “Indie”
contemporary romance author. I live in California with my husband and two
teenage boys. I absolutely love being a stay at home mom.
I never liked
reading as a kid. I only started reading romance novels in the past few years.
My Kindle and I are inseparable now. A thought occurred to me in December of
2012 that maybe I could write a romance novel. So I went to work with the
encouragement of my husband and my sister-in-law. It didn’t take long to figure
out that I really enjoy writing.
Today I am a
self-published author and it has been an amazing journey.
