Jackson Family Distillery Book 3
Growing up with three brothers, Charlie Jackson had to be tough. Some might call her the B word, but she simply defends those who need it. Unfortunately, not everyone sees her protection as defense. Like the judge who ordered her to take anger management classes after she messed up her jerk ex's car. Not a problem, a few months pretending to listen to a bunch of people talk about accessing feelings should go down as smooth as the vodka her family makes at their distillery.
Luc Woolf knows all about harboring anger at the world. Growing up with a father who liked the bottle more than his family, he suffered his fair share of rage. But he gave up that emotion long ago when he realized anger did nothing but make a person miserable. These days, he keeps a cool head and helps others process their emotions as a therapist. However, when he volunteers to moderate an anger management course, he meets the one person who tests his careful control, Charlie Jackson.
The two couldn't be more at odds, but they can't deny the scorching heat between them. This bad girl wants to show this good boy how much fun breaking the rules can be. After all, opposites attract. But when the struggles of real life interrupt their fun times, will their differences pull them apart or bond them together?
My Review:
When everything you’ve ever loved has either left you or been taken away, of course you’re going to protect your heart. This is where we learn about the ‘softer’ side of the fierce Jackson sister. I’ve always loved Charlie’s take-no-prisoners attitude, so it was positively enlightening to discover what made her tick. And Luc? Oh boy. I couldn’t help but feel for him. I recognize big pieces in my own past in the events that had shaped him. I adored these two together, even when they made me doubt the wisdom of the pairing. I loved seeing Charlie find a little bit of calm, and Luc remember the joy in spontaneity. And now I absolutely can’t wait to find out what it will take to bring the last single Jackson to his knees.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book through NetGalley.
