Review: Teach Me (Southern Nights #1) by Ella Sheridan

A woman determined to heal…

Shy researcher Jess Kingston spent the last eight weeks recovering from her ex-boyfriend’s brutal attack. Body healed, she’s ready to put her life back together—except her ex isn’t ready to let go. She won’t cower in a corner while Brit tortures her, but she’s powerless to fight back.

A man determined to resist…

Ex-military security specialist Conlan James avoids commitment like the plague. His job, his Harley, and the occasional one-night stand are all he needs, until the day he rescues Jess from a tense situation and realizes he can’t get her off his mind. He can teach her to protect herself, but protecting his heart is another matter.

A madman determined to win…

As the deadly game of cat-and-mouse with Brit heats up, so does the hunger between Con and Jess. Safety might be found in numbers, but in bed, all bets are off—and the wrong move could lead to heartbreak. Or death.

Overall Rating:  4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆

Does power and wealth really corrupt?  In this remarkable book by Ella Sheridan you will ask yourself if that is true.  This is the struggle of a woman that is alone and fighting for her life.  It is also the story of two tortured souls that find peace and healing within each other’s arms.

When a sexy man steps in and saves her, she feels hope for the first time.

Conlan James is a survivor!  He has survived tours in war torn areas and returned home whole.  Or did he?  He lost is best friend on his last tour when they were ambushed. Con cannot stop himself from believing that his friend just gave up because his girlfriend dumped him. He now wants no part of the love word.  That is until he rescues a woman from an abusive relationship.  The fight is on between his head and his heart.  He believes that he can teach her how to protect herself and that he will be able to keep her safe.
