The A in Jessamy Darling’s name stands for a lot to deal with.
Her complete disregard for all forms of authority stems from a childhood past where her parents didn’t
believe that her brother was a literal psychopath. From framing her for killing the family dog to stuffing
her backpack full of prescription drugs, then reporting her, her brother has made it his life’s mission to
make her as miserable as possible.
The moment she turned eighteen, she bailed from her parents’ house like the bottom of her feet were
on fire. But if she thought that moving out would stop her brother’s punishments, she was wrong. He
only gets more creative.
And by getting more creative, he starts to turn the town of Sawtooth against her.
No grandma, biker, or shop owner wants anything to do with her.
Eventually, she decides...fuck it.
If everyone was going to hate her anyway, why not give them a real reason to hate her?
***
For years, he’s been dealing with her attitude. Her complete disregard for anyone and anything should
wear thin.
Except Black’s always had a soft spot for trouble.
And she’s Trouble with a capital T.
He’s pulled her out of more fires than he should have, and he probably should’ve locked her up and
thrown away the key a long time ago.
But Black Adkins, sheriff of Jesper County, wasn’t elected into that position because he was a stand-up

guy. He’s a rebel at heart, and Jessamy Darling is his kryptonite.
Putting Jessamy in a cage would break her, and he only wants to see her fly.

The first time Courtland Navarro saw Charleigh Lynn Kensington, she was yelling at her old boss about a yeast infection.

Court didn’t know that his heart could even beat after the loss of his late wife, but in that moment, when she was yelling about a bladder infection from hell, he realized that maybe he hadn’t died inside after all.

The second time he saw her, he was protecting her from herself.

The big—actually quite small—bad—more like a pissed-off Chihuahua—Marine thought she could handle herself. And honestly, she might have been able to. But she was five-foot-nothing, had crazy blonde hair, and looked like one hell of an easy target.

To say that they got off on the wrong foot would be an understatement.

Then, searching for something to do with his life after getting out of prison, he finds a mechanic shop for sale. So he buys it.

Little did he know that Charleigh had wanted that shop.

And now she had even more reason to hate him.

She tries her hardest to hold on to the anger, the utter dislike of all things Court Navarro. But Charleigh doesn’t stand a chance.

Court has set his sights on her, and there’s nothing that she can do but surrender.

But, maybe, that was what she wanted all along.

Someone to fight for her.

I wasn't even supposed to read this book. I appli I wasn't even supposed to read this book.

I applied for a future N. von Wolf release, somehow ended up on the list for These Tears instead, and figured I'd give it a try.

Five stars later, I'd like to thank whoever made that mistake!

Leah immediately had me on her side. She's intelligent and observant, and I loved how she processes information instead of suddenly becoming some fearless captive-romance heroine who always knows exactly what to do.

Then there's Elias. Welp. 🖤

My relationship with this man was complicated. I went from wanting Leah far away from him to yelling "I CAN FIX HIM" at my Kindle.

No, I cannot.

The psychological side of this story is what really hooked me. Pay attention because details matter, and some things aren't what they initially seem. I don't want to say much more because discovering those pieces is half the fun.

The Norwegian setting adds to the isolation, the tension keeps building, and once I started, I read straight through until I finished.

This is DARK, though. Definitely check the content warnings before reading because the captive and psychological elements aren't just window dressing.

Sometimes the wrong ARC turns out to be exactly the right book.

What would you do if you went to sleep and woke up What would you do if you went to sleep and woke up seven thousand years later?

Evelyn Bishop doesn't exactly get time to figure that out. She was placed into cryopreservation against her will and wakes on Ganymede with a new body, surrounded by robots, cyborgs, cloning, and technology she could never have imagined.

The Rebirth Foundation has created something that looks remarkably close to paradise.

You already know where my suspicious reader brain went with that. What's the catch? 😂

What fascinated me most wasn't actually the technology. It was discovering that seven thousand years of progress apparently hasn't done much about greed, obsession, or the desire for power.

This was my first Stephen Piper book, and I really enjoyed uncovering this strange new world alongside Evelyn. Just be warned about that ending because I was NOT prepared to be left there. 😂
