I received this book as an ARC.Rafe Brooks has been in consumable emotional pain after his relationship with Tasmyn ended his senior year of High School. His story takes place after Tawdra's King Series which are all about Tasmyn. His broken heart can only be healed by getting away from King, away from seeing or feeling Tasmyn around him. He hadn't realized that this was what he needed until his cousin and grandma tel him to leave. He spends months traveling the US and sleeping with any girl that shows an interest in him until he lands himself in New Orleans. This city feels like a place that he could call home. He falls more in love with the city when he meets and sleeps with Jocelyn. They have an instant connection that makes Rafe question whether he should use his ability as a manipulator to alter her memory of the night. He is shocked when his memory wipe doesn't work and more shocked when she offers him a job. This is the beginning of a crazy new life for Rafe. What he finds more shocking is that he wants to break his rule of never sleeping with someone twice when it comes to Joss, as she likes to be called. What does that mean for his broken heart? What will happen when The Carruthers Institute sends them both on an undercover intelligence gathering mission as boyfriend and girlfriend?I know a lot of people were in love with Rafe from the King Series books, but I only liked him. He was a great guy but he just didn't steal my heart. After reading this book, I like him a lot more. You get to learn about how his crazy relationship with Tasmyn affected him and watch him go through the healing process. His budding relationship with Joss will steal your heart. The end is shocking though. It nearly made me cry and left me wanting the next book in series just because now I need to know what will happen to Rafe next. You get a glimpse at who the next book will be primarily about and that was just as surprising as the ending. Just so you know, The series was a YA series, this one is adult. There is sexual content so if your teenager read the first series and shows interest in reading these, you may want to consider if they are mature enough to read this kind of material. I thoroughly enjoy reading and it is tastefully written.Read more reviews at Identity Discovery blog.
