If you read Guarded, you know that Vanessa went through a horrible divorce and was finally released from her marriage to Shane. Yes, she met Jackson before it was final, she didn't want to immediately jump into a relationship with him while she was still married... Forward to Defensive...I am one lucky chick because I was asked to beta read Defensive. I love Guarded so I was more than happy to jump in and read Defensive. I purchased the book too because that is how much I LOVE these characters and their amazing story. It's not all smooth sailing. It's an emotional read that has twists and turns. It will have you crying and screaming at the characters. And then the ending...Vanessa Smith's life was going wonderful. She was in a relationship with on very hot basketball player, Jackson Barrios. Vanessa is battling with her self-confidence from her failed marriage and she feels she isn't good enough for Jackson... Then Jackson's ex-girlfriend comes back into the picture and drops a huge bombshell that further makes Vanessa doubt herself more. However, Vanessa is carrying a secret of her own and she further spirals into more self doubt. When it comes crashing down, she leans on the one person she shouldn't; her ex-husband.When you think the story is over, bam! A twist you don't see coming hits you and it leaves you saying oh my!!The ending is well, awesome. I want more... :)*I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
