Synopsis
Grayson King is anything but royal…
Pepper Davenwood is the embodiment of class…
They say opposites attract, but what happens when they collide?
Recently released from prison, the only thing Grayson wants more than a fresh start is a chance to prove himself to the only woman he’s ever loved. But with a past he can’t talk about, a criminal record he can’t explain, and the mess his father left in wake of his sudden death, Grayson knows it’s not going to happen.
Until it does.
And now that he’s back in her life, Grayson realizes the very woman he’d give up everything for might be the one to take it all away. Because the heart knows no limits when it comes to love, and Grayson will do whatever it takes to keep Pepper safe. Even if it means breaking the law…again.
My thoughts:
Jailbait is a second chance romance told from two point of views.
First we have Grayson who was just released from prison and summoned to New York to watch over a dying man’s daughter. Then we have Pepper, the daughter of said dying man. Pepper and Grayson have a history. They were once in love until a decision that Grayson was forced into split the happily ever after couple up. Now they are reconnected and the flame that they once had for each other is once again ignited. Pepper, however has issues and is unable to fully trust Grayson after all the pain he put her through when he disappeared off the grid. Little does Pepper know it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine for Grayson. When another threat to their relationship steps in the couple finds out if they are really strong enough to withstand even the toughest of storms.
I liked Jailbait…I really wanted to love this novel. The concept was enticing.The drawback for me was throughout the novel your wondering who Pepper’s dad wants Grayson to protect her from. It builds up to you basically questioning every character that comes in contact with Pepper. The conclusion was sadly disappointing when it comes to the huge breakthrough.
I loved the relationship and romance side to this story. I loved Pepper’s walls she built up around her heart to keep Grayson out at first but as you probably can tell those walls quickly came down. I enjoyed the emotion shown from the characters. The emotion made it easier to connect to both Pepper and Grayson.
Even though the conclusion and build up scene were a let down, i did enjoy reading Jailbait. the romance portion of this story was written well. The Characters were easy to connect with and this novel did hook me in for the majority of it. The positives outweigh the negativity.
