Synopsis:
 
The media spread my face nationwide on every newspaper known to man when the story first broke. It read- James King. son of wealthy, ambitious hotel owner, Victoria King, busted for cocaine possession.
Let’s be honest. I’ve always been a rebel, a little rough around the edges. The black sheep of the family. The outcast. No one ever thought twice about me, not even when I was arrested. The only thing was, I didn’t really do it, but I served time for the crime.
Today my freedom was granted to me. I was permitted to leave this prison that I had lived in for the last sixteen months. The guards opened my cell, grinned and told me I could finally go back home. Home? See, it wouldn’t be my home. It would be her home. I had no home of my own anymore. Funny thing about being locked up, was that you lose everything, including yourself. You no longer exist to the outside world. You’re transparent, at least that’s how I felt until I met Emily. She was kind, and in my world people like her were far and few between. I was drawn to her like a magnet. I wanted her, but I’d kill myself trying to get her because she was damaged. I just didn’t know it yet.



 
Excerpt:
1. “Excuse me. My name is Mary Riverton. I’m head of the Neighborhood Watch, and I should let you know that whatever you’re selling we don’t need it on this street. There is absolutely no solicitation allowed here.” I tried to cut her off to say that I wasn’t a salesman, but she wouldn’t let me. “Don’t even think about breaking in around here either. I have the police on speed dial, and I’m very close friends with the chief. So, no funny business, understand?”
“You must be new around here.” I crossed my arms and stared at her.
“Pardon me,” She puckered her big, red lips at me, and pulled her dog closer to her chest.
“My name is James King. I’m Victoria’s other son. I just got back into town. I live right here.” I threw my thumb over my shoulder.
“Oh my goodness. I thought you were a crazy hoodlum casing out our street.”
“What would give you that impression, Mary?”
“Well…you just…you look…I thought…Oh never mind.”
I squinted my eyes at her, and rubbed my chin.
“First impressions are rough, right? I almost thought you were propositioning me for sex when you walked over. Silly me. It must have been that low cut top, and those hooker shoes you have on. The red hair alone screams escort to be honest.”



Review by Gia:
I loved this book.   When the book starts James King is getting out of jail.  On the surface James may look like a bad boy but he really is super sweet.  James is a great friend and is definitely the guy you want to have your back.  He loyalty to friendship and trusting soul in what landed him in prison.    James is very straight forward and I was laughing at some of the things that came out of his mouth.  
James is from money but he is not snobby and all about status.   His mother, Victoria, on the other hand is all about money and status.   When he gets out of prison, he has no choice but to return home to his mother's house.   There is really nothing likable about his mother but she does hire good house staff.   Emily is Victoria's housekeeper.   Emily is a sweet, good hearted person.   She is very loyal to her family.   James and Emily's paths cross.   They are both attracted to each other.     James get kicked out of his mother's house and Emily steps in to help him.   From there a friendship forms and grows into much more. 
I loved reading Emily and James's story.    They have a lot of bumps in their relationship road to overcome but those bumps makes for a great story.  
5 Amazeballs Stars!!
