Give Me a Reason by A.L. Jackson
4.0
Trent Lawson is a true bad boy . Tattooed from head to toe, only drives motorcycles + sports cars and he is the owner of the local night club in town, Trent’s reputation proceeds him . Hiding out in Redemption Falls was the only way Trent knew how to keep him, his son + his two brother’s out of harms way from the past that is trying to catch up to them all . Trent’s only focus in life has been to protect his son from any + everything, but nothing makes sense anymore once he meets the beautiful Ms. Murphy and realizes he wants to protect her too .
Eden Murphy is heaven on earth . A beautiful + pure soul who only wants to make everyone happy around her, even if it means she is not . Working as a teacher at her father’s private christian school, Eden finds herself needing a second job to help make ends meet at the school . Without her father knowing, Eden takes a job at the local night club across town . Thinking it will be a quick month of work + then pretending it never happened, she wasn’t prepared for the storm Trent would be in her life .
Trent + Eden were such an amazing couple - a true opposites attract romance . I loved that the two of them were different in almost every single way except for both running from past traumas + loving Gage furiously . I also loved that Trent’s brother’s were very involved in this first book . I have already grown so attached to Logan + Judd that I can’t wait to read their books next !
As always with A.L. Jackson she knocks it out of the park . I love how she can intertwine suspense + romance to make it flow so seamlessly . I will admit that the end of the story was not my favorite . I didn’t want that specific person to be so heavily involved negatively in each of their lives but it did make sense for the story . This was the first book in the Redemption Hills series but can be read as a stand-alone . Enjoy !
