Book Club Thursday 2023

Some things are so worth waiting for. Like the moment when Jessica Ward "accidentally" bumps into Bobby Ray Smith and shows him just how far she's come since high school. Back then, Jess's gangly limbs and bruised heart turn to jelly any time Smitty's "all the better to ravish you with" body came near her. So, some things haven't changed. Except now Jess is a success on her own terms. And she can enjoy a romp-or twenty-with a big, bad wolf and walk away. Easy.

The sexy, polished CEO who hires Smitty's security firm might be a million miles from the loveable geek he knew, but her kiss, her touch, is every bit as hot as he imagined. Jess was never the kind to ask for help, and she doesn't want it now, not even with someone targeting her Pack. But Smitty's not going to turn tail and run. Not before proving that their sheet-scorching animal lust is only the start of something even wilder…

Bobby Ray is one of my favorite characters. He's just so darn funny and caring. He fell for Jess when she was younger, and it looks like he never stopped caring. 

The relationship between Bobby Ray and Jess isn't a smooth one but one you'll really enjoy. They might be meant for each other but that doesn't mean their courtship is going to be an easy one. Jess wants nothing to do with him not that Bobby Ray cares. He's like a dog with a bone. 

It seems that no matter how much Jess tries to stay away from Bobby he's right there in her life. I also love her people. They are so funny and loving. They crack me up. It takes a bit for these two figure out they are meant to be together. More so Jess than Bobby. 

I love how in the end they all come together to protect the kids and it's Bobby Ray's parents or I should say mother who saves the day. 

I'm so glad that I've been rereading this series. It makes me happy and I'm always looking forward to the next one.
