Shame the Devil by Rosalind James
5.0
This was a story so full of emotion. Rosalind James, as usual, did not disappoint.
Harlan and Jennifer were so in tune to each other. The attraction was immediate, but it could not have been called instalust. Jennifer, who didn't know what her future held, who was trying to juggle and keep all the balls in the air, still reached out, unselfishly, to provide Harlan comfort.
I loved the way Harlan took care of Jennifer and Dyma. I liked the way he always thought about making sure she was comfortable or being where she needed to be. I liked Dyma's character. I liked Owen, and I am hoping that he and Dyma get a book of there own.
There are a couple of interesting and unexpected twists in this book. There is a ton of raw emotion. Some sadness, helplessness, anger, anxiety and fear. I also found friendship, love, happiness, loyalty, respect, support, and a strong showing of inner strength.
Harlan and Jennifer's relationship had steamy, sexy moments, and they were also surrounded by a level of romance and sensuality that is not often found in some books.
This is not to say that Harlan or Jennifer was perfect. I feel like that is part of what made this such a good book. They were both very down to earth people with very real issues. Harlan did not let his notoriety or success go to his head. It was easy to forget he and Owen played for the NFL.
I often judge a book by the way I feel when reading it and the way I feel when it ends. This book had me experiencing many emotions. It provided me with an HEA. It left me with a smile. It left me satisified, and it just made me feel good.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book, but I also purchased it.
