Making something off-limits will always make that thing more appealing.
Jules Warren, my sister’s best friend, was no different.
She has been the leading lady in every fantasy I’ve had since I was a teenager.
There was no way I was turning her down when she invited me to her room.
Those fantasies? They had nothing on the real thing.
I was given the weekend to make my dreams come true.
The ramifications, however, will last a lifetime.
Keeping a secret is one thing.
Living with the lies is impossible.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
Cease Fire is the ninth book in the Blackbridge Security series by Marie James. Even though the books can be read as stand-alone, you will want to read them all after reading one of them. I cannot seem to get enough of these men and their witty humor and intrigue. We met the main characters in the previous books and the tension between them was intense. I was looking forward to this book and could not wait for it to be released.
Kit had loved Jules forever, but she was Beth’s, his older sister’s best friend. She had shot him down when they were younger, and they had spent years avoiding each other. So, when she seduces him at his sister’s wedding, he hopes things have changed.
First off, I loved Kit, he was so sweet and such a great guy. He truly loved Jules and even after finding out she is pregnant, she tells everyone it is his best friend’s baby; he is there for her. He stands by her and allows everyone to believe the lie while it breaks his heart.
I didn’t care for Jules, and that didn’t change after reading the book. I understand she had lost all her family and was afraid of losing Beth, but she purposely got pregnant and then lied to everyone. She continues to lie and hurt Kit but only thinks of herself. I don’t feel like she was ever truly sorry for her actions in hurting Kit. So, I don’t feel like she redeemed herself.
I enjoyed the book even though I didn’t like Jules and I look forward to future books with the Blackbridge men.
I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.
I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)
We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.
I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.
If I'm not writing; I'm reading.
My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)
I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
