AUTHOR BIO
J.
A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you
guessing. Her favorite genre to read is space opera, but
since practically no one reads those books, she writes new adult science
fiction, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, urban fantasy,
and books about Junco (who refuses to be saddled with a label).
She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.

My Review...
After Rook makes an impulsive decision in Tragic she is forced to live with the consequences of those actions in Manic.
In this new chapter of her new life, Rook starts to realize who she is and what she wants.
But her lack of relationship knowledge and the world of erotic photography has her a bit confused when it comes to what she wants or needs.
For Ronin he knows what he wants but his past is rearing it's ugly head.
But with her new contract comes Spencer and Ford who also happen to be part of Ronin's shady past.
His past could help and potentially hurt their already fragile relationship.
For Rook her past as also come to haunt her.
When Rook needs help Ronin, Spencer and Ford are there for her when it counts.
I love the vulnerability of Rook but her naivety sometimes drives me crazy. For Ronin to love is not easy but Rook is too quick to reciprocate the words without her feelings matching them. I so hope in Panic that her feelings and words start to meet up.
I am so team Ronin as he is a sweetheart even though he is torn with his loyalty to Clare. However, there seems to be something that draws me into Ford. I am intrigued by him but I'm still rooting for Rook and Ronin to find their HEA.
4 Past haunting thumbs up!
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying the series! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I can't wait for Panic. Please please please let there be a HEA for Rook and Ronin. ;)
