A review by mamabookwyrm
Quake by Jacob Chance

4.0

I had heard really good things about this new male author and was really excited to finally get my hands on Quake. Now I’ll confess, I read this a while ago but spaced out reviewing it in the chaos that surrounded getting my blog up and running. Now with book two out, I took the time to re-read it before delving into Quiver. And it was just as good the second time around.

Kyle’s an ex-cop turned private investigator after a near fatal shooting benched him to the sidelines. While on a job for a client, he catches sight of a beautiful blonde. Intrigued at first glance, he can’t stop watching her. After some subtle questioning he finds out it’s the client’s sister-in-law.

Now, I wasn’t completely sold on this book. The fact that he watched her through the cameras in the beginning and what he did when he watched her bugged me. I didn’t find it hot at all. It wasn’t an auspicious beginning. Due to this, I remained skeptical for the part of the book. That being said, eventually Kyle won me over and I began rooting for him and Janny to make it.

I found the book to be well-written. Chance is descriptive, giving you a glimpse into the lives of his characters in a way that makes them seem touchable and relatable. The story flows easily, it kept me engaged and entertained. I love dirty talking alpha males and Kyle definitely is one. And the sex scenes are definitely over the top hot. Janny is super sweet and sassy, very easy to fall in love with. It’s easy to see why an alpha male would go all protective and possessive over her.

Definitely a book I’ll recommend to others.
