Feb 15, 2021
Although based around seventeen year old Sophie this is anything but a typical teen book. This is most definitely an adult read with some hard hitting topics like abuse, suicide and bullying to name a few.
Nothing phases Sophie for long, she's an awesome character, with a strong survival instinct, a smart mouth and feisty kick ass personality. She has a kind of sex appeal that calls like a siren song to not one but four men (a girl can dream!!)
The four men all have an outward persona that isn't endearing but beneath the surface lies a hot mess......They go from mean and moody to a girl's wet dream and back again. Like Sophie they all have a hard past driving them, things that bleed into their current lives, each fighting their own demons.
There isn't anything that I don't like as the bits that make me uncomfortable are crucial foundations for the story. They add depth to the characters and create a more three dimensional look at all the key players.
A good strong start to what promises to be an amazing, gripping series....... **Taps fingers impatiently waiting for the next book**

Shielding Jemma (Corrupted book. 2)
By J.W. Ashley
Jemma lives her life by a set of rules.A woman with a dark past, she has no intention of settling down because getting comfortable would mean death. When a chance encounter with a handsome man at her gym makes her the target of a deadly crime boss out of New York, she has nowhere to run except right back into the crossfire of a life she was determined to forget. Agent Caid King has always done things by the book. So when the blonde bombshell he meets at his gym turns out to have ties to his current case, he shelves his attraction and tries to focus on his mission at hand. Caught between two worlds, Caid is forced to choose between seeking justice, and being the one who deals it out.Shielding Jemma is the second book in J.W. Ashley’s intertwined suspense series where love and duty collide, resulting in one hell of a ride.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. It was an interesting story with lots of drama. I knew the two dodgy agents from the begging and was very easy to plot out. However I really liked it.
