| When Jennifer Waters, struggling artist, finds herself in jail for suspicion of stealing a painting by legendary painter, Picasso, she finds herself indebted to the one man who broke her heart six months earlier. Running away from Stefan Talbot had been the hardest decision of her life, but now she realized her life just might get more challenging when she learns she is under his protection until the mystery of the stolen painting is resolved. Going back to Bliss, Colorado will not only reunite her with her best friends, Callie and Rachel, but it will also reignite her feelings for the one man she can't have. Stefan Talbot makes no bones about the fact that he is a Dominant, nor does he hide the fact that he wants Jennifer, just not in the same sense she wants him to. Her age keeps him from following his heart, while his mind prevents him from letting her walk away from again. Protecting her and their friends becomes his number one priority in this classic Sophie Oak novel.
Stefan Talbot is rugged, dashing, sexy as the day is long, and just about as closed off to love as a steel safe. Jennifer Waters has loved him for months and even after he tells her she is too young to really know what she wants, is determined to hang on for the ride of her life. Ms. Oak's powerful description of two lovers caught in the timeless story of love, is enrapturing, beautiful, and gripping. The reader is treated to truly being embedded in the thought processes of both Stefan and Jennifer and glides through their lives as if it were her own. Stefan is arrogant, stubborn, and understandably tight fisted about his emotions. Jennifer is as equally determined to break through the barriers around his heart to prove her love for him. Their love is palpable and is brought to life through amazingly descriptive writing and a plot that makes you cheer, cry, and laugh out loud. The writing is that powerful and the characters make you demand more from this amazingly talented author. Don't be put off by the BDSM elements. They are very tame and actually bring an erotic quality to these characters that is oh so fitting. This third story of the Nights in Bliss, Colorado trilogy does not need to be read after the first two, but trust me when I tell you that you will want to get your hands on every one of her books.
