Jax by E.M. Moore

 

Jax (The Heights Saga)
E.M. Moore
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:

I had real love once. The all-consuming, toe-curling kind of love. Fate had other plans for the two of us though. Ruled by a world of dangerous men, I did something reprehensible. I did what I needed to survive. I betrayed Jax—the only man who ever truly cared whether I lived or died. Years later, I remain a brokenhearted plaything. A puppet to maneuver around a chess board. Psycho uses my body, my face, my skills to get him exactly what he wants. I’m the predator no one sees coming. And my next job is to come face-to-face with him again. My Jax. Once Psycho gets something in his head, he won’t let up. What he wants next is what Jax has, and he’ll do anything to get it. Including using me in any way he can. Now, I have to make a choice between my safety and my conscience. My life…and my heart. But there’s one thing I know for sure: my second chance is the most treacherous game I’ve played. JAX is a full-length m/f dark romance standalone in the Heights Crew world.


Jax is the second book in The Heights Saga but can be read as a standalone. I wouldn't recommend that b/c the entire series (The Heights Crew and The Heights Saga) are amazing books and you want to be fully immersed in it all. 

So quick run down of the book. We met Jax in THC and we easily fell for our surly, badass good guy. We could tell his story was going to be a complicated one and boy was it. Jax fell in love with a girl. A girl mixed up in a dark world. A girl that wrecked him. He never knew betrayal could hurt so bad and mess him up for so long. It changed him. So when she shows back up in his life, he is thrown for a loop. How can you hate someone so much and yet, care so deeply. 

Sadie is our lady here and I really thought that with as much as I loved Jax, I was going to have a hard time liking her. I mean, she freaking broke our boy. Her story though, it was dark and twisted and oh man.

So I don't want to delve any more into the actual story. I do want to warn you though, it gets dark. Sadie does not have an easy time of things and there are some details that could be a trigger for some. This is the darkest book that E.M. has written as of yet. One of my favorite things about this book is Sadie's growth as a character and as a human. She's been through some shit. She's done some things, some dark dark things. Without giving too much away, let's just say that in the end, she takes the hard road. I love that she owns up to it all and doesn't take the easy way out. 

So let's just take a moment here to say that E.M. Moore is a freaking fantastic author. Every time I pick up one of her books to read I am reminded of just how amazing she is. With Jax, she upped the bar even more. I have held strong to the Ballers being my favorite but I think Jax just smushed them. I can't wait to see what she does with our boy Cole.

Taking a Break

  Taking a break Hello! I randomly decided to come on here today and it looks like someone actually does visit this site on occasion. I feel like I owe it to you to let you know that I won't be posting any new reviews for a while. I've been really burnt out on reading for a while now and while I do still read every now and again, I just don't have the same passion about it. When I write a review for the blog, I feel it has to be more in depth and informative and I just don't have that in me right now. Also, the book world just disappoints me sometimes and I don't feel like I'm in the head space to give it my all. Anywho, if you are reading this, thank you for being around and supporting me for however long you've been here. I appreciate you. Maybe one day I will get back into it and start reading and reviewing again. In the meantime, I do still review the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads .

Merciless Spy by Heather Long

  Merciless Spy, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The fierce twin. The dark brother. The wild one. I don’t give a damn about labels. I never have. Not when it comes to me. But stay the hell away from my brothers. All of them. I’ve sacrificed a lot for them, and I’m more than willing to give a lot more. If my blood, sweat, tears, and life were needed, I’d give it all up. Every damn drop. For my brothers, there was nothing I wouldn’t lose. Until her. Reckless, ferocious, and seemingly born to match me in temperament and spirit, Hellspawn is not the fragile flower they all think she is. I don’t think she ever has been. She will not be left behind, she will not hide, and she will not take the crap that life has been throwing at her. She’s saved our lives, defended us, fought for us, and sacrificed herself for us. I have no questions about what she would do if they tried to leverage us against her. This is why I won’t allow anyone to put her to t...

Reckless Thief by Heather Long

  Reckless Thief, (82 Street Vandals) Heather Long ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon / Goodreads Blurb: The mentor. The doctor. The Vandal. I grew up on the streets despite my older sister’s best efforts to keep my nose clean. I thought I knew better. I worked hard. and made money. Who cared if what I did was a little illegal? Then a little boy paid the price for my carelessness. A little boy and his baby sister. It was the wakeup call I needed, even if the cost came too high. Rough choices made for rough outcomes and when I had the chance to join the military or go to jail to get straight, I went to the military. I paid for my thoughtless actions by becoming deliberate. I paid for my greed by offering service. I paid for my chance at a better life with blood, sweat, and fire. That service left me scarred but determined. Medical school and training taught me I could continue to serve. I walked away from the streets, from the blood, the violence, and costs of doing business. Living a life I ...
