BLURB:
James is in trouble.
After spending a little too much time in once place, a few of her secrets started to rear their ugly little heads in front of the wrong people. People who don’t bat an eye at doing very bad things.
Now she’s on the run with nowhere to go and no one to help.
Until he shows up.
Phillip Foster is not the savior she would have picked. He’s too clean-cut. Too uptight. Too strait-laced. No way could a man like him handle the ruthless criminals hunting her like an animal.
But Phillip turns out to be so much more than he seems. He’s focused. Intense. Deadly. A man who stops at nothing to get what he wants.
And he might just want her.
The feeling is pretty darn mutual.
As long as he can keep her alive.
MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I absolutely loved this story! James was the perfect conclusion to the BIG Northwest series!
James and Philip F Foster stole my heart in this story! I loved that we knew next to nothing about James, even though long-time readers of this series knew of her existence, and yet she didn’t feel like a stranger when I started reading this book!
Philip F Foster has been around for a while, first appearing in Janice’s BIG series in the book Joel and the wait for his story was totally worth it! Their banter, their chemistry, it all came together so beautifully!
I loved the peek we got of the other sisters, and Charlie’s untimely questions lol. Both that have been kind of consistent in all of the BIG Northwest books. I absolutely loved the Easter eggs in this story, and I loved that Janice left some breadcrumbs for future stories/series should they ever take flight.
I believe James can be read as a standalone, but if you haven’t read the previous books in the BIG Northwest series, you will probably want to by the end of the book.
Thank you Janice and Julie for the advance copy!
