Beyond undeniable passion is fierce love ... Jesse Ward drowned her with his intensity and blindsided her with his passion, but he kept her away from his dark secrets and broken soul. Leaving him was the only way Ava O'Shea could survive, but she should have known that Jesse Ward is impossible to escape. Now he's back in her life, determined to remind her of the sensual pleasures they had shared, but Ava is equally determined to get at the truth beneath this man's steely exterior. That means letting herself get close to the Lord of the Manor once more. And it's exactly where Jesse wants her - within touching distance ... Includes a brand-new bonus scene from Jesse's perspective.
I didn't think that I'd be able to like Ava and Jesse any more than I already do. Again, I can see why people might not like Jesse, because of his crazy personality, but he's just so hot, and I just can't quit reading about him. Sure, Ava gives into Jesse a lot, but that's part of her appeal.
I can see why the people that rated this book as a 1 star book did. I guess I'm in the minority, since I absolutely loved this book. Sure Ava always gave in, but the passion that she and Jesse had was so amazing to read about. On to book two I go.
