ABOUT THE BOOK
When I was eighteen, I fell in love with Delaney Warner, the district attorney’s daughter. Someone I wasn’t supposed to have because I was from the wrong side of town.
Amazingly enough, she fell for me, too.
Our love was clandestine, hidden in the shadows. Just like the secrets between us.
One day, it exploded, ending in a catastrophe that shattered my world as I knew it. I was left in the dark, barely able to climb out.
She left town, as did I.
But I never forgot her or her betrayal.
Fifteen years later, I’ve returned to Green Haven, seeking revenge on those who tried to destroy me. My timing is impeccable since Delaney has returned to town.
With vengeance burning through my veins, I’ll take everything from them, just like they did me. Including her.
But the more I watch her, the more I learn there’s more to the story.
As secrets come to light, everything is turned upside down, leaving one nagging question—is Delaney my enemy… or the one I was destined to love?
MY REVIEW
My first Jennifer Rose novel left me with a whirlwind of emotions. It’s a gripping, angsty, and frustrating tale that tugged at my heartstrings and left me in tears by the end.
Zayne is the bad boy on the other side of the tracks who wants the forbidden rich girl. He’s a possessive hothead who jumps to conclusions and loses the girl he loves. Delaney is a rich girl with a terrible secret, trying to protect those she cares about and losing the boy she loves.
My heart broke for Zayne and Delaney as the lies and misunderstandings grew incredibly. I was so frustrated as they withheld the truth and wasted so many years to be together. They lost so much before they finally found their way back to each other.
Ms. Rose does an incredible job of immersing this reader in the intense and raw emotions of the characters. However, I found the pacing too slow and repetitive at the beginning, a choice that tested my patience as I waited for them to get on with their lives. In the end, their reunion and forgiveness are worth waiting for, and their happily ever after is beautiful.
If you enjoy suspenseful tales of vengeance, forgiveness, and the power of first love, this book is a must-read.
Thank you to Ms. Rose for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
