It’s safe to say… Casey Markham has met her match.

Review

Casey Markham’s story is the one I’ve been waiting for ever since I met her in On the Rocks. Readers weren’t given too much of her story as the series began/continued, but we were made to understand that there was a deeper meaning behind Casey’s “man eating” ways, and I’ve been eagerly waiting to see how Sawyer Bennett knocks Casey on her ass and makes her realize that love doesn’t have to make you feel like a fool unless it’s in the best possible way.

Ever since Casey’s heart was crushed in high school, she’s made it her mission in life to protect her heart against being hurt, and she’s done it by locking her feelings away, constructing walls, and calling the shots when it comes to each and every interaction with the male sex. She’s played the part of seductress for a really long time, gaining a reputation as the queen of one night stands without even her closest friends understanding why she’s played this role despite her desire for more.

But Casey’s about to no longer call the shots when Tenn Jennings storms into her life, shaking up everything Casey believes in and showing her that making different choices when it comes to how she “handles” men might not be so bad.

Tenn Jennings isn’t necessarily looking for love, but he wants whatever Casey Markham is willing to give him. Tenn is the kind of real that Casey has been avoiding since she started calling the shots; he’s the filthy talking, sensitive man who’s so in tune with what Casey wants and needs that it scares the living hell out of her, but their connection is also the reason Tenn is willing to ride out the mental head games that Casey puts herself through and ultimately him as she tries to figure out exactly how they fit together and if she’s willing to step out of her box in order to gain more than just physical pleasure.

I absolutely loved Casey and Tenn’s story. He is exactly who she needed to jump start her heart and watching them fight for each other despite the obstacles, mostly from Casey, shows just how perfect they fit together. Witnessing Casey join the “love club” and “make love her bitch” was the perfect way to end Sawyer Bennett’s Last Call series. I’m going to miss my North Carolina Outer Banks family, but I also can’t wait for the new families/friends Sawyer’s going to introduce readers to because I know whoever it is, their stories will be just as sweet as sexy as this one.

Synopsis 

James Black, the hottest name in Hollywood. Blockbuster films, tabloid headlines, and broken hearts surround this golden playboy.

Avangeline Price, a strong willed, tough as nails, zero tolerance for games woman who believes love only exists in books and movies.

James is accustomed to women falling at his feet. Avangeline has an intense dislike of celebrities and an even bigger dislike of James Black.

She’s unimpressed. He’s intrigued. Both have preconceived notions.

But… sometimes the unscripted territory is what matters most.

When Hollywood meets Louisiana, can real life rival the movies?

***This book contains explicit sex and graphic language. It is NOT recommended for readers under the age of 18 OR those who do not read this type of book.

Review

There are two sides to James Black: the hot shot actor who commands a following wherever he goes and lives up to his demanding, arrogant persona and the mysterious man whose past defines him way more than he would ever make public. The first personality is the one the media and society sees on a regular basis, and it’s the one that’s allowed James to make a name for himself. The later is one only a select few see because the wounds are too deep and there’s more than him to think about when it comes to who James Black once was.

As the story begins and James meets his driver, Avangeline “AJ” Price, a smart and sassy woman who refuses to bow down to the handsome movie star, he realizes that he may just have met his match – someone who refuses to put up with his bullshit and loves to tell him like it is at every turn.  At first, James and AJ’s animosity for each other is all there is between them, but as they get to know each other and spend more time together, their walls drop a little bit and they start to see what’s beneath their hardened exteriors.

Trust is a huge issue for any new couple, but it’s essential for AJ because dishonesty is what forced her to construct her walls in the first place, leading her down a path where love wasn’t something she would even consider. James has secrets that he holds close to the vest, and he understands what’s at stake if they get exposed, but what he never counted on was meeting someone he wanted to tell those truths to and despite the risk and pain it may cause him, he knows he needs to come clean, even if, after the fact, it might cost him everything, including AJ.

I’m a huge Skye Turner fan; I adore her writing and the characters and storylines she creates. I really enjoyed James Black and the ever feisty AJ; the environment Skye stages her story in is also written well, allowing her readers to visual its aesthetics. Where I got a little tripped up in this one is with James’ choices and actions towards the end of the book.  On a certain level, I get the reasons he does what he does, but I have to admit, it gutted me because AJ gave him her heart freely, which was such a huge step for her, and he risked it all for what really – the past…the memories… But my reaction to the situation also speaks to Skye Turner as a writer because anytime a writer can pull out those kind of emotions from a reader, she does her job and she’s done it well.

Prologue

James

Bright lights, big city… the perfect place to lose yourself.

That’s the impression I first got of Los Angeles and it’s the impression I still have today. The city of Lost Angels. I fit right in here, though I’d call myself more of a devil on any given day.

This is where I started over. This is where the boy with nothing took on the world and became the man who has people at his beck and call for every little whim.

As I look around at my hillside mansion overlooking the city, I laugh cockily at the way life has panned out.

Do I have love? No, but I have money. I have adoring fans and people follow me wherever I go. It works.

Is it a perfect life? Of course not. Being in the public eye, never having any privacy… But, it is what it is and it’s the life I’ve chosen. It’s the life for me.

The large clock chimes in the foyer and I glance at my bags near the door. The limo driver should be pulling up at any second.

Next stop… Louisiana. Not at all where I want to spend the next year and a half of my life, but it’s where filming is and filming keeps my bank account happy. All of them. This three movie deal should easily drop another chunk of change into them.

Not that I money is something I really need more of.

Smiling at the thought and the irony of that logic, I open the door just as the bell rings.

“Mr. Black. Good morning, Sir. I’ll get your bags into the car and in just a few minutes, we’ll be off. Is there anything else you need before we head to the airport?”

I think about that…

“No, I think I’m good.”

He nods, “Very good, Sir. Let me take these.”

SYNOPSIS

I’m known for being an asshole. It suits me. I’m that guy who jokes about love and how settling down is overrated. Why would a guy ever fall for one woman when he can have as many as you want? Makes no sense to me.

But if being a cop has taught me anything, it’s that life is unpredictable. And that is exactly what Katherine is. I question my sanity on a daily basis because of that woman. Sometimes, she makes me want to keep her to myself, and other times, she makes me want to jump off a cliff just to get away from her.

Yet, I still find myself turning into that little pussy I said I’d never be. Showing up at her front door holding flowers, only to have her throw them at me. Calling just to say hello, only for her to press ignore. Yeah, I’ve become a pussy all right. A whipped one, at that. At first she was a challenge, but now I don’t like the fact that she is playing hard to get. But when someone comes after me, threatens my job, my life—it’s her who stands by my side. It’s her who has to pay for my sins, and it’s her who I’m threatened to lose. One thing that you need to know about me is that I’ll fight for what I believe in. And I believe in her more than myself.

What’s that saying? Boy meets girl and the rest is history…Well, those who fuck with what is mine will become history.
