Actual Rating: 5+ stars

Romance Duet | Second Book (Must be read in order)

Absolutely breathtaking! My words in this review cannot possibly explain what this duet has done to me. I am shocked, in awe, totally wrecked (in the best of ways) and stunned. Jewel E. Ann has written not only an emotional read that RIPPED out my heart and shred it to pieces, but also an INSPIRING read that slowly picked up the pieces of my tattered heart and put them together again. This duet is incredible. It's not an easy read and there are triggers for sure, but it's so well told and so amazingly written that you feel like you're inside the book and feeling EVERYTHING the characters are feeling. I am SHOOK!

I cannot say much about this book or duet because everything would become a major spoiler. But I can say that this conclusion is JAW DROPPING. I had no idea where the story was going to go and how it was going to end, and I was literally GRIPPING my iPad the last 20 percent of the story. I felt hope, but nothing looked good. I felt the LOSS because I knew where it was heading. And I felt the JUSTICE when the epic twists of the story were becoming resolved. This book. My goodness, it's a roller coaster. But so worth the read and so achingly beautiful.

If you're looking for a book that will rip you to shreds and make you feel alive while reading (I know, those don't seem like they would go together but trust me they do) then you need this duet in your life. I honestly cannot recommend it enough!

READ AN EXCERPT

I jumped, shutting my computer, and glanced up at Graham paused at the threshold to my room, loosening his red tie. He always looked handsome in a suit and that red tie I gave him for his birthday. I didn’t expect to see him. My assistant said he was at the Governor’s Mansion. I rarely stayed there, but he used it as an occasional “getaway.” Probably from me. So when she told me he was there, I made the assumption (actually hoped) he’d decided to stay the night and get some work done.

“It’s not even seven.” I tucked my bare feet beneath me, still wearing my navy skirt suit and silk scarf—my long hair in loose curls down my back and around my shoulders just like Graham liked it.  

He took calculated steps toward me, completely untying his tie, letting it drop to the floor before working the buttons to his starchy white shirt. I tried to forget my internet search, not that it mattered because I couldn’t hide anything from my husband. He elicited a warring of emotions from me. An icy tingle slithered along my spine, making every muscle rigid, while the warmth in my heart fed on the way my pulse reacted to his proximity, the way it always had done. That never changed. It was how I knew we weren’t broken. 

“Did you miss me?” He smirked, shrugging off his shirt, revealing his defined torso—abs for days beneath a thin smattering of dark hair on his chest. 

I was the envy of so many women. Every day I reminded myself of that. 

“Nice scarf.” He knelt in front of the chair. 

I returned a nervous smile, hoping the man before me was the man I loved. Graham untied the scarf, sliding it from my neck as slowly as he’d slid off his tie just seconds earlier. The scarf floated to the floor. Gentle fingers swept my hair off my shoulders, exposing my neck. 
With the same feather’s touch, he traced the bruises. “It’s nothing …” His lips replaced his fingers, kissing my neck. “You’re fine. Right?” 
I wanted to believe him. Could denial become truth if we just believed hard enough? 

“I’m fine,” I murmured, closing my eyes. 

“Want me to show you how much I missed you?” he whispered next to my ear.
Was he asking me for permission? Governor Graham demanded me. Pre-marriage, pre-Governor Graham asked … begged me to surrender to him. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Picture
Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.

With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business. 

After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing. 

When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.
