Favorite quote(s)/excerpt(s): “I want one week, Dylan. I want you to give me one week.”
“One week for what?” she asks as her eyes dart between my face and a spot off in the distance. She’s nervous – I can hear the uncertainty in her voice.
“To be my wife,” I growl possessively. “I want seven days to show you what a terrible f&*$@ing idea this divorce is. I just need a week to make you fall in love with me again.”
Thoughts: I just discovered this author, and I have devoured every book out in the series thus far in a week! The books are awesome, each one stand alone and just a little different from the last. Mr. July happens to be my personal favorite, however this one follows quickly behind.
I’ve always been a sucker for a guy trying to get his girl back – and the author writes the emotions with such intensity, that I really feel for these characters. Andy is a great guy who winds up in prison due to being a little naïve and wanting to make fast money at the expense of himself. He got caught up in circumstances that were bigger than himself and ends up being the fall guy. Unfortunately, that means leaving behind his wife while he serves time for a crime he didn’t do. While he’s not guilty, he’s not completely innocent either, and that’s enough for Dylan to want to move on from their relationship. She’s been through a lot since he got put behind bars. Of course, Andy is not willing to let go to the best thing he ever had, and he gears himself up for the fight of his life!
I usually don’t like the ‘jailbird’ theme…lol….but in this case the author really pulled it off. I wound up really enjoying this novel. This author has won over a new fan, and I’ll pick up anything from her without question!
Rating: A
