Jagged by Lauren DaneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love author Lauren Dane and have been an avid fan of hers since late 2006/early 2007. I love all genres she writes , it’s her contemporary romances that really get me pumped up. This is book 2 in the Whiskey Sharp series , book is Jagged. This is Vicktor and Rachel’s story. They are friends yet there is a chemistry between them, a heat and this intense connection that immediately leaps off the pages.
The story does continue from book 1 Unraveled and the story in book 1 was Alexsei and Maybe's story and it streamlines into bk 2 and Vicktor and Rachel’s story but there are still some lingering issues that will be addressed in book 2. Vic and Rachel's love affair is unique, phenomenal, and heartwarming. Theirs isn’t an insta-love but more of a friends to lovers story that starts off as a slow burn and builds to an epic conclusion. Slow burn because it took 3 years for their relationship to become a relationship. Yet it pays off in a lot of ways and the banter, the heat reflects that. Vicktor really understood who Rachel truly way and he accepted her, didn’t try to change her and loved her for who she was, not what she could bring him or do for him. Anything else is an added bonus in Vicktor’s eyes. Rachel didn’t think she would have love in her life, would ever be in love yet Vicktor shows Rachel what true love is and means. Make sure to keep tissues handy for this read. There are several twists and turns in this story that kept me on the edge of my seat yet it all pays off in the beautiful end. Ms. Dane wrote such a fabulous and stirring romance that I didn’t want the story to end. This was such a great read, now I am praying we get Cora’s story next!!!
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
