Synopsis

The media spread my face nationwide on every newspaper known to man when the story first broke. It read- James King. son of wealthy, ambitious hotel owner, Victoria King, busted for cocaine possession.
Let’s be honest. I’ve always been a rebel, a little rough around the edges. The black sheep of the family. The outcast. No one ever thought twice about me, not even when I was arrested. The only thing was, I didn’t really do it, but I served time for the crime.
Today my freedom was granted to me. I was permitted to leave this prison that I had lived in for the last sixteen months. The guards opened my cell, grinned and told me I could finally go back home. Home? See, it wouldn’t be my home. It would be her home. I had no home of my own anymore. Funny thing about being locked up, was that you lose everything, including yourself. You no longer exist to the outside world. You’re transparent, at least that’s how I felt until I met Emily. She was kind, and in my world people like her were far and few between. I was drawn to her like a magnet. I wanted her, but I’d kill myself trying to get her because she was damaged. I just didn’t know it yet.

Excerpts

“Excuse me. My name is Mary Riverton. I’m head of the Neighborhood Watch, and I should let you know that whatever you’re selling we don’t need it on this street. There is absolutely no solicitation allowed here.” I tried to cut her off to say that I wasn’t a salesman, but she wouldn’t let me. “Don’t even think about breaking in around here either. I have the police on speed dial, and I’m very close friends with the chief. So, no funny business, understand?”

 “You must be new around here.” I crossed my arms and stared at her.

“Pardon me,” She puckered her big, red lips at me, and pulled her dog closer to her chest.

“My name is James King. I’m Victoria’s other son. I just got back into town. I live right here.” I threw my thumb over my shoulder. 

“Oh my goodness. I thought you were a crazy hoodlum casing out our street.”

“What would give you that impression, Mary?”

“Well…you just…you look…I thought…Oh never mind.”

I squinted my eyes at her, and rubbed my chin.

“First impressions are rough, right? I almost thought you were propositioning me for sex when you walked over. Silly me. It must have been that low cut top, and those hooker shoes you have on. The red hair alone screams escort to be honest.”

My Review

This book was a great read.  Both the main characters, James and Emily overcome a lot in this story.  James by all appearances lives a charmed life.  His father started a chain of hotels and upon his death his mother turned them into cash machines.  They are wealthy.  Emily works as his mother's house keeper in the beginning of the book.  Emily has been through a lot and is scared to let James in.  James keeps fighting and trying to prove to her that he won't hurt her like she has been hurt in the past.  James' mother Victoria takes the crazy cake she was mean and manipulating.  She only cared about herself and her reputation.  Some of the things she did in the book were just horrible.  James and Emily road to happiness is not an easy one but they have a great love.  The ending is a complete surprise but fantastic.  Once Emily realizes that she can't fight her feeling for James and doesn't want to she realizes how much she has been missing.  This book was funny at times and sad at others.  I would love to read more about these characters.  James' brother is a great funny character.  I can't say enough about this book but I don't want to give any spoilers away.  I love Jennifer Raygoza, she is a great author.

Jennifer Raygoza also known as the rebel of writing, burst through the writing scene in 2012 with a vampire series called, The Guardians. It was a story originally written just for fun, but ended up being self-published out of curiosity. Little did she know the series would be strongly embraced by vampire reader’s. Since then this down to earth, California girl has been picked up by Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing. She has recently released two short stories and a poetry book that includes work from her youth.
