Now she’s found the perfect guy — and it’s not me.

Now I've got one last lesson for her:
I’m going to make her mine.
Review
This novella continues the story of Jax and Lizzie from
Insatiable 1. Jax has coached Lizzie in
the fine art of sensuality and seduction as per her request, only to have it
backfire and Lizzie meets someone she wants to have a go with.
Jax finds himself in unfamiliar territory. He is used to women falling at him, having
his pick of lovelies any day of the week.
His manwhore card is getting trumped by a spitfire named Lizzie and he
finds himself completely without his mojo.
He continues to be cordial and polite to Lizzie while trying to rack his
brain about how to make things right between them. Of course he takes the sneaky way at first
instead of being up front with Lizzie.
His advice on dating and keeping her man is priceless!
This book is full of the quick wit and clean writing from book
1. Being an inner geek myself, one of my
favorite lines happens when Jax is showing Lizzie the mansion she can use for
her charity event.
“It’s huge! Even from the outside it doesn’t look this
big! It’s like a Tardis!”
Jax shoots me a
knitted brow and a sideways glance. “What’s
a Tardis?”
“Dr. Who?”
Jax shakes his head.
“Ok, I get it,” I say,
“you’re too cool for the reference.”
(I may have even snorted at that interaction between the
two!)
I liked that Jax becomes more human before our eyes. He is still sexy as sin but does some
self-reflection and becomes the man that Lizzie needs to make her heart
complete. Of course the reader
understands that Jax has fallen in love with Lizzie but it takes him a bit of
the book and some hilarious failed attempts with other women to have it hit
home for him.
My only complaint about book 1 was that it was so
short. This half is also short but helps
to put the icing on the cake that is Jax and Lizzie. Buy both books together. You won’t want to wait to get into the second
part. Wonderful start for this new
author! Clean, crisp writing. Nice balance of humor, inner dialogue, and
steamy sex. I look forward to his next
endeavor!
