Overview

His training didn’t cover how to win back a woman’s trust…
Jaimee Turner spent most of her life trying to be an unassuming pillar of virtue and submissive wife to a man who demanded nothing of her—especially physically. A year after his unexpected death, she’s finally finding her own footing, only to find herself thrown completely off balance by Lucas, a man who awakens desires she never knew she had.
FBI agent Lucas Grayson is relentless in his quest to bring down those who prey on the innocent. The Turner case is unlike anything he’s dealt with before, and so is the widow Turner. One thing’s for sure: Brent Turner was blind to think he could outsmart the Collective. And blind to the fact Jaimee was a gift he threw away.
The Collective has dirty fingers in all sorts of bad pies, and the FBI suspects Brent’s “accident” was anything but. Jaimee knows more than she thinks she does. Lucas would sell his soul to extract that information and keep her safe. But he can’t save her from the devastating betrayal she’ll have to face.
Warning: Some mild violence, a very sarcastic best friend, sneaky massages, inappropriate use of caramel and some occasional back door lovin’.

    Explosively Awakened!!

    As soon as I began reading this novel, I felt completely drawn to Jaimee. Being in my early thirties, a plus size woman, and dealing with the many years of emotional baggage society has bestowed upon women who do not mirror the Kim Kardashians of the world. Always referring to us as "fat asses," who wouldn't deserve to be admired, pleased, and fulfilled by our own wickedly amorous lover, such as Lucas is to Jaimee.

    I was deeply enthralled into this story from beginning to the very end. The action-pack/suspense is on point, the annoying/sarcastic friend, Maxine, was a much needed humor element, to break up the tension between Jaimee and Lucas, and the best feature was the HOT & EXTREMELY SCORCHING erotic scenes, leaving your loins quivering from your own eruption.

    There was absolutely nothing inappropriate with this book, just two lovers fulfilling their hidden exotic fantasies with each other. And finally the genuine declaration of love that is revealed is one to be inspired by. That regardless what you look like on the outside, the beauty you possess on the inside is what really counts.

    I was 110% satisfied, BRAVO Ms. Chadwick, you definitely DESERVE WELL BEYOND A 10 STAR RATING!!

    Rude Awakening

    This book was different from books I have read before. Lucas is an undercover FBI Agent assigned to watch over Jamiee. Jamiee is a "normal" women who speaks her mind and is not a size 2 which I found very appealing. I get so sick of reading romance novels and all the heroines are a size 2...get real! Jamiee is a size 18, fit and Lucas is totally in love with her by the middle of the book...proving size does not matter!
    Anyways, Jamiee's dead husband was involved in an scam that went bad. The fall out falls onto Jamiee's doorstep. Lucas falls in love with her and never tells her who he really is until he is forced to protect her. His secrets almost devastate their relationship....I found myself routing for them to work it out. I could not put the book down.
    WARNING: There is STRONG sexual content and some of it I thought was unecessary and skipped over. Some parts to me was just gross.....but overall I loved the story line and that Jamiee was a "normal, average women who found love from a gorgeous man.

    Great Book!!!! Will look for more from this author.

    I loved this book!! Both the hero and the heroine are adults and act like it. There was a good little mystery and the relationship between the couple was realistic. While it was very sensual, there wasn't wall to wall sex, which after a while gets kind of boring. It is nice to have a plot to go with the rest of the action. Anyway I definitely reccommend this book. I've read a couple others of hers from Ellora's Cave but can't find any others from her either in paperback or e-book. Hopefully she will write more.
