Ms. Gendron has another winner in the Troublemaker series. I love how she interwove some of the story of Broken Fences at the end of this story. It shows how they fit together. The antics of Jessina and Chase are funny to read about. They try so hard to fight the attraction and to see who will cave first to the other they don't even realize they are falling in love. It is understandable the reluctance they have for both have been hurt by those they loved in the past and have trust issues. When you hear Chases' story it will tug at your heart. Especially after you read about his love for his niece. So beautiful. Good thing she is around though because she is who gets Chase to realize he trusts Jessina and has feelings for her. When he tries to tell Jessina in his own way misunderstandings occur and they go through a lot of angst. Although the ending to that angst will crack you up.Chase is a arrogant and gorgeous yet rich and successful businessman. He is also kind and loving when you get to know him. For some reason Jessina is one he can't get over and is deeply attracted to the first time he sees her. He tries to fight this tooth and nail and says it is just for business he stays married to her but as the days go on you can see he is breaking down. He finds Jessina amusing and she finds him exhausting. His trust issues and feelings about women stem from his mother and what she did poor guy. But Jessina breaks that down and is his happiness.Jessina is a feisty spitfire of a girl. She acts on emotions and doesn't think of the consequences. Like when she went down to tell Chase off and didn't think about who would be around. Lo and behold it was during a staff meeting. He found it amusing she found it embarrassing. To me it was hysterical. Her antics to try to get Chase to give in were so fun to watch. But overall she was a caring and kind woman. In the end though the plan she hatched to get Chase to admit his feelings was fun to watch unfold as they both waited for the other to come to their senses. Her trust issues of men stem from a past love and when she places all that on Chase it does get frustrating but is understandable.A fun and wonderful read on two people finding safety and trust again in each other as they fall in love with one another.
