*From the author of the New York Times bestselling Bad Boys novels comes the first in a dark, sexy contemporary trilogy.*
Is she strong enough to trust the most dangerous man she’s ever met? And is he strong enough to let her?
How would I describe myself? Well, I’m Muse Harper. I’m a twenty-something painter who loves red wine, quirky movies, and men with a fatal flaw. But that was before I met Jasper King. He became my fatal flaw. Eight months ago, I had a choice to make—abandon everything I’ve ever known to protect my family, or stay and risk someone getting hurt. I chose the former. My plan was working just fine until I found out my father had gone missing.
That’s when I met Jasper. A bounty hunter with the eyes of a tiger and the nose of a bloodhound, he was supposed to help me find my father. What I didn’t know was that meeting him was no accident. Hunting people isn’t all that Jasper does. And helping me was only part of his plan. I just wish I’d found out sooner, before my heart got involved. But even then, I don’t know if I’d have done things differently.
Now, I have another choice to make—trust the man that I’m falling in love with and hope that he’ll do the right thing, or run as far away from him as I can get.
Overall Rating: 4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★
Do you believe that it is possible for a monster to have a heart, that it can feel, love and be loved? Is it possible to find redemption and forgiveness through the love and belief of another person? Or will the darkness that threatens to consume everything inside the monster kill the only good thing it has ever had? In this original novel, Strong Enough by the talented author M. Leighton, we are faced with this dilemma. It a story filled with conundrums and angst. The characters find themselves in a quandary as they work to find a resolution and a future together.
