Jolene Benate has had to put her life
completely back together over the last six years right after
she was told her husband was dead. Now she is a deputy
marshal on an elite warrant team. It’s not been an easy
road and Jo has succeeded, if you don’t count the fact she
can’t move on from the love of her deceased husband.
Paul Benate gave up Jo in a move he
thought would prevent her from ever being harmed. Paul has
a brain that many would love to control and while he likes
working for the military, he missed Jo every day these last
six years. When a report shows that Jo has been found and
is a target, Paul demands to get back all he lost.
When Jo and Paul meet again, the
fireworks are many and pointed. Jo is hurt and angry that
she was lead to believe Paul was dead. Paul wants to begin
again, but first he has to convince Jo to both forgive him
and to understand. Love brought them together and drove
them apart. Now when the danger to Jo seems to follow her,
will love be enough to give Paul and Jo another chance?
Still Mine has several of my favorite aspects
in a story: hot sexy scenes, engaging main characters, and
enough suspense that it makes you want to read quickly to
find out the ending. Jo has grown up and found a career
even while loving the husband she believes is dead. Paul
made a decision he thought would save Jo from danger and was
given a second chance. From the moment they met
face-to-face, I was drawn in and could not flip the pages
fast enough. Even before giving in to their passion, I
could feel the strength of it. I was quickly reminded that
the emotions that give passion can produce equal fear and
anger. Watching Jo and Paul try and work out the past to
hopefully lead to a new future for them showed me that a
true and deep love never really dies. When the danger comes
from an unexpected angle, at least for me, I loved seeing
the depth of the trust that had been restored between Paul
and Jo. Still Mine is equal parts hot romance
and suspense, which I found not to be missed. The
cliffhanger ending leads me to hope that just maybe Jo and
Paul will show up again soon in another book. |
