Jasper Devereaux: The Reapers’ golden boy, my ex-boyfriend, and the first man to truly break my heart.
Oh, and now he’s my fake boyfriend.

He insists a fake relationship is the best solution to our problems. My persistent ex will back off, and his mom will stop trying to set him up on blind dates.

The rules are straightforward: act like we’re in love in public only, don’t let the lines blur, and whatever we do, don’t fall for each other. Again. Every touch feels too real, every kiss reminds me of what we once had, and sticking to our rules becomes nearly impossible.

Our little charade is the hottest gossip in Avalon Falls, but as the sparks between us reignite, a chilling string of m*rders rocks our town, adding danger to the mix.

Pretending to date Jasper was supposed to be a temporary fix. But as the danger closes in, I realize my heart—and maybe even my life—might be on the line.

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Yet another banger from this author.

I was already excited and hoping for a book with Coraline and Jasper since the first time we met them in the Rosewood trilogy. And boy did they meet my expectations. These two have such great chemistry between one another. I love how sassy Coraline is and how much Jagger loves Coraline from the very beginning. They have such a fun relationship with one another, and I absolutely love the banter between the two of them. I found it to be very easy to read with characters that will knock your socks off.

If you’re looking for a motorcycle romance with lots of steam then no further! You’ve got to pick this up. I am also very excited to read the rest of the series. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen!
