"Her gaze lifted up to meet his. The tender look in her eyes touched something deep within him-a part of him that he thought was long dead. In that moment, he felt more alive than he had in months."
Jennifer Faye's Return of the Rebel is a fabulous, vibrant, and truly touching story. The novel is a wonderful depiction of how two people from two different worlds can be so much alike. It just goes to show that love has no time limits or restrictions.
Jax Monroe was labeled the infamous bad boy when he was a kid. As an adult, he went to college and became one of the most sought after tycoons on Wall Street. He came from nothing and made a life for himself. However, he was all alone. After a bit of trouble in the business world and his personal life, he takes a much needed vacation to Vegas. There, he runs into the one girl who he has always held close to his heart and was always off limits; but now, she's all grown up and no longer untouchable.

Finally getting her chance at her dream job, it all comes to a screeching halt when a blast from the past entires her life again which reignites all sorts of desire within her.
Secrets, love, sadness and longing all play intricate parts of this remarkable story. Will Jax be able to love Cleo the way he longs to? Can Cleo help her family and reconcile with them in the process? This is a marvelous book that will not disappoint you, so read this book! Excellent job, Jennifer! Grēta
