BLURB:
I don't take anything too seriously.
Not the career that's brought me fame and fortune, or the never ending string of women that fill my bed, and definitely not myself.
But life has a way of turning on a dime.
The party is over.
All the jokes have been told.
One beautiful face blurs with the next beautiful body and all I feel is...empty.
Until her.
The sexy complication too intelligent to ignore and too complicated to keep.
Jessica Johnson isn't supposed to be in my world but now that she is, I plan to make sure she enjoys the ride.
So, what happens in Vegas...?
Boundaries are crossed.
REVIEW:
This is my first book by author M. Jay Granberry as well as first introduction to the Sin City Tales. This was an emotional rollercoaster, a forbidden romance with age gap, family issues and two people who just connect but were not prepared for what is brought them.
Daniel pretty much won me over, my heart broke for this carefree fun loving man who deeply loved his family, especially his touchstone, his grandmother. His grandmother is ill and slowly fading, he feels like he's let his family down in a way as well as his grandmother. Seeing her not knowing who he is breaks a piece of him. Every scene with his family and with his grandmother just turned me into an emotional wreck. Granberry knows how to kick up emotional connection with her character and hit all the feels. Jessica has family issues too, coming from a wealthy family, her brother dating Daniel's lead signer in the band, as well as the age gap, these two had a lot against them in a way. She is sweet and gets Daniel, sees the true him. Its more of a slow burn and sneaking around, but when these two are together its fire.
Overall the romance is off the charts, the family story for Daniel was the strength and the bands connection and support is what pulled this story along. I may have wished I read the other stories prior, especially Sins and Jakes story. I just have to note, Jake is like all alpha hulk sexy and I'm so going to have to read about him and Sin. I was a little lost at times and had to go back and see if I missed something, pieces of the plot got left behind and I didn't get a resolution to some. But it didn't diminish the point of the story, Daniel and Jessica, how these two were brought together and helped each other in ways they didn't know they needed.
