The realization that Jax has still affected me so strongly was a jagged pill to swallow. He'd only been part of my life for five short weeks, two years ago. But now he was back. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. And God, he was magnificent. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly black. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their intensity. Had I really thought they were soft and warm? There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth. In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax. Bad enough that I didn't mind how much it was going to cost me...
Jax and Gia are very "Gideon and Eva"-ish, so if you're a crossfire fan, you'll undoubtedly love this story as well. It is very short, novella-sized, so it's a quick and satisfying read.
I read they both without stopping! The writing is pure Sylvia Day - Direct, effective, and mouth-watering. A seasoned storyteller, she grabs attention in every scene and gives us so much emotionally intense interactions between characters, we are not just reading them. It's as if we're living them.
Afterburn & Aftershock, are both a must read!
