Jackson's book has been on my most anticipated list for so long! I was looking forward to this book as soon as I read Sweet Retributionand to say that this book satisfied my appetite would be a huge understatement.

I freaking loved it!

Jackson was one of my favorite characters from the Rydeville Elite Series and when I got to know that he's going to get his own book, I was very much excited for it! However, given the glimpse of his personality in the previous books I was a bit nervous about Vanessa being his heroine who I believe is also introduced in a short scene in Ruse.

Both of them reeked of a destructive past and I was looking forward to see how Siobhan would weave her magic to bring them together. And she didn't disappoint me.!

Jackson is devastated by the death of his sister, Dani, who took her own life. After years of numbing his pain and finding refuge in the bottom of a bottle and weed, he is finally sober and ready to extract revenge from the driving force which played a vital role in his sister's suicide. However, the person is on the run after everything went down with the Elite business earlier mentioned in the previous books. The only way is to draw the person out of his hiding place and lookie... Jackson found a perfect bait!

Vanessa Breen has always been a wild spirit. Years of alcohol and drug abuse decorate her résumé but when her stepfather throws her out, she decides it's high time to turn a new leaf. Living a peaceful life in New York, she is unaware of the role she is going to play in someone's vendetta.

I have always said that I love Siobhan's book for the amazing storyline and this book packed it in heaps. That being said, I was a bit appalled by Jackson's character. I didn't know he had that level of asshole in him. Although he redeemed himself later and most of his actions could be justified by the plot, I cannot shake the feeling that he could've been a little (just a teeny-tiny bit) more considerate towards Vanessa's feelings.

Since the story is divided into two parts, it was easier to rate it individually.
Part 1- 3 stars🌟🌟🌟
Part 2- 4.5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠

Overall rating - 4 stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Be warned of the triggers - Themes of statuary rape, murder (gruesome kind), sex slavery is portrayed. Mild alcohol abuse and threat of incest rape also mentioned. If you've read the first four books, you know what I'm talking about.

Desperately waiting for Drew's book. I've got a feeling that it will be epic!!

ARC Review- Charlie by Siobhan Davis

Blurb:- Demi Dropping out of college senior year was never part of my plan. But Dad needs me, and I’d move mountains for the only parent I’ve ever known—even working for the company that fired him. My boss, Charlie, is determined to make my life a living hell, availing of every opportunity to undermine my confidence, to humiliate and threaten me. Sleeping with him the night of his wedding might have something to do with his attitude. Or the fact I’m the spitting image of the woman he really wants. If our financial situation wasn’t so dire, I’d tell Charlie to stick his job up his delectable butt. But I’m trapped, and things are only getting worse. Because the more layers I uncover, the more I realize he is nothing l expected and everything I crave. Charlie If there was a manual for all the ways a person could mess up his life, it’d have my name written on it. I can’t undo the things I’ve done, no matter how badly I want to, and every day is a constant reminder of my epic failure. Espec...

Review - The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent

The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent My rating: 5 of 5 stars 5 stars 🌟 For my reviews and more, visit my blog LaraBabbles Book Blog My mother probably thought I had a break up over phone or bad period cramps. Yep! That is how I ugly cried while reading this book. After a series of disappointing reads, this book came to me as a life-saver. The Unrequited is going to be my all time favorite book from now on. I must confess that when I read the blurb, I thought that this book was going to be another explicit story about how a girl lusts after her Professor and all the typical drama that comes with a forbidden Romance. And for my ignorance and stereotyping, I got smacked in my face with a bucket load of angst and a beautiful heartbreaking story. I was in a perpetual state of blocked throat while reading this book. The Unrequited is a story of a heartbroken girl, Layla Robinson who has sworn off love due to a terrible ending with her first attempt at loving someone. She is miserabl...
