Maisie Peterson thought her life was perfect. And Jesse Cohen has demons. That’s all I’ll give you to start…..*************Whenever I review a book, I do not read the synopsis. I want to go into reading a book with a clear head so I am not anticipating something to happen and then getting upset when what I thought was going to happen doesn’t. In the beginning of this book I thought it was going to be another story of a woman scorned. After reading further I noticed that although Maisie might carry those feelings with her, it is a story of a new, intense love.Jesse is the bad boy that parties, drinks and beds a different woman every night. He is cocky and KNOWS that all women can’t resist him. He isn’t exactly what Maisie is looking for but she can’t fight her feelings for him, no matter how hard she tries. They have an instant connection, and we see that Maisie actually makes Jesse want to be a better person.The author did a great job incorporating a back story for Jesse. We want to know why he is the way he is and we get a glimpse of that when we meet his father. The one man he is terrified of becoming. We instantly hate him when we meet him and are pulling for Jesse to be a better man.I was SHOCKED with how the author twisted this story. I really enjoyed the change of pace in the story. I was definitely not expecting it to go in the direction that it went in.I can go on and on about this book, but I will leave the rest for you to find out for yourself. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a suspenseful love story. I can’t wait to read the other books in this series.
