Desperation can lead to a lot of things.Responsibility can wear you down.Where does it Stop? or Begin?Jaycee lives in a tin can of a trailer in a bad part of town. She's the guardian of her 6 year old sister and 15 year old brother. She has been since she was 18, but was always the caretaker. Their mother was too busy working or with her male friends, that is until she died of cancer. Saving and scrimping isn't getting them far, so when Jaycee hears of an easy way to make a lot of money she gives it a chance. Burglars aren't made in a day though.The way the burglary goes down will leave you holding your breath then laughing till you can't breathe. Oh, and panting, cause yeah, it gets a little hot. What happens when washboard abs and a huge porker meet a nice rack and tight buns? Sizzle...attraction flares, emotions go boom, and it's written in the stars.Can egos be tamed?Humility be taught?Graciousness be shared?This is a read that you won't forget. Sometimes being poor makes you the richest people on earth and you don't even know it. Sometimes rich only equals lonely. As Jaycee and Reed embark on their relationship they learn a lot about not only each other, but also themselves. Jaycee is a stubborn character. She's gun shy to happiness and though she'll do anything for her brother and sister she guards them tightly, sometimes too tightly. She's always been the adult and when it comes to cutting loose and having fun, well, it's a good thing Reed knows a thing or too about how to get a woman to give up control.Reed is every woman's dream. Built, kind, rich, and oh so Alpha. So, why would he be interested in a girl who tried to rob him? As the story unfolds we'll find out just how much she makes him tick and why. Jaycee is like Sleeping Beauty waiting for Prince Charming, Reed, to awaken her. What a way to awaken from a slumber! Sometimes the second time is the charm.I absolutely loved Strike. Of course, I loved Play as well. Holly S. Roberts has hit a homerun with the Completion Series. Hot and steamy meets romance that doesn't fail to impress. I can't wait to see what the next book in the series will bring.Strike is a 5 star bookin a all-star series.I received a copy of this book for my honest review.
