Our Review
4 Stars ****
This is my
first book by Jessica Prince, it won’t be my last. I loved this book. Marley has
been hurt by men. She was used a payment
for her mother’s drugs. She swore she’d
never fall for a man or need a man. She’d been beaten, raped, used, and
abused. She would never ever let a man
own her. She’s brought herself up out of the gutter, struggled to get a good
job so that she could take night classes to further herself in life. She wants to make a good life for herself so
she never has to depend on a damn man.
She’s working as a bartender at Fletcher’s when she meets the man who simply
won’t take no for an answer. Gabriel
Bertozzi is a man who is used to getting whatever he wants when he wants
it. Not often, has he been told no. He’s a man who takes revenge to the next
level. He’s led a very dark life and still enjoys the darker side of life. He’s a businessman first but has several other
dark pastimes he partakes in. Can he
keep that part of himself away from Marley or will it overtake their
relationship? I absolutely
loved this book. It was funny at times,
hard at times, and sad at times. I loved
the playful gentle side of Gabe but I loved the smart ass, hard ass side of
Marley. They were a great match for one another even though neither of them
have ever really done a relationship. I
also enjoyed the sidekicks – Carmen and Aldo – loved them. They’re both quick to bring Marley and Gabe
back to the real world with an ass kicking if needed. Can’t wait to read more about all of these characters. This is a trilogy – so be warned – but it’s
totally worth it!

Quotes:
“Let me get
this straight. You break into my house, scare the ever-loving shit out of me,
and almost get yourself shot just so you can ask me on a date?”
Everything
about him turns me on— his voice, the way he smells, the way he looks, the way he walks. He’s
completely devastating to my senses.
I have no doubt
that this man is capable of breaking me. But even with all the warning signs, I
can’t ignore my desire for him any longer.

About the Author
I'm a wife, mother, wino, coffee addict and avid a lover of all types of books, but romances are my main favs. My husband likes to say reading is my obsession but I just say it's my passion... there's a difference.
I've been writing since I was a little kid and I finally decided to take the leap and actually publish when Picking up the Pieces came to me. Now that I've been bitten by the writing bug I just can't seem to stop.
