Cash by Jessica Gadziala

Couldn't he be hot and sexy and a jerk? That would make my life so much easier. But no, he had to be hot and sexy and a sweetheart. God damn it.

CASH

My life has been about three things- brotherhood, good times, and women. Easy. Nothing complicated. That was until Willow Swift came barging back into my life, face bloodied, banging at the gates of The Henchmen compound calling in a favor owed. Now a marker is a marker and I had to make good, but if there was one woman in the world I didn't need in my life, it was the hard-as-stone, hot-as-sin Willow Swift and whatever mysterious ghosts from her past that were haunting her present.

WILLOW

My life has been nothing but two things: hard and complicated. The last person I wanted in my business was the notorious love-em and leave-em Cash, but I needed help and he was the only one I could lean on without worrying about him finding out about my past. But I was starting to wonder if maybe he was his own kind of dangerous bent on tearing down some things I had long since learned were not possible for me- like falling for a guy I could not, ever, let see the real me.

While this can be read as a stand-alone, you will get more out of this book if you read "Reign" and "Monster" first.

-- My Two Cents --

I found Cash to be impossible to resist! Yeah, he shared his delicious charms with lots of ladies, but that was his charm. Despite the fact that quite a few women knew what he was like in bed, his ease and his confidence didn't give you room to hate. What's not to love?

So Cash's story started off a little like enmity at first sight. He was a little younger than Lo, but he knew what he liked and what she had going on... he didn't like. He wasn't opposed to putting down people who deserved to get put down, but the fact that she did it for money really grated on his nerves. But there was something about her that he craved.

See Lo was a lot of things...
❥ Gorgeous. Smart. Intuitive. Strong.
❥ Leader of the group known as Hailstorm. Not much is known about exactly what they do, but we learn they do a lot. This group is made of up ex-military, former street gangs, and people with certain skills who are looking for a place to belong.
❥ A badass by anyone's standards. She doesn't back down from a fight or worthy cause.

I was trained. I was skilled. That being said, I was still a woman and no matter how skilled you make yourself, no matter how good you become, you will always have a physical disadvantage against a man well over six-feet and built like a linebacker.

- Smart lady

❥ A hopeless romantic. We've seen what she'll do for people who are in love.
❥ A woman who isn't afraid to get dirty, get hurt, get messy. She throws down!

She's also someone who wasn't always the woman she appears to be. When the horrific past she thought she escaped comes hurtling into her present, Cash seems to be the perfect person to help her deal with her problems. Her reinforced steel walls seem to have a vulnerability when it comes to him and pretty soon, Cash is witness to everything ugly that Lo has had to overcome.

He was the one, the one who was capable of getting in and putting down roots.

It took a while for Lo, who didn't really know any better, to truly see how much better she was with Cash. As for him, he wasn't aware he could feel the way about a woman the way he felt about Lo. Forever never seemed to be a possibility for either of them. Through the blood, sweat, tears and pain that it took to see the other side, these two forged a rock solid relationship that defied either of their expectations. It was beautiful and rough and perfect for them.

“Balls, dick, heart, brain, baby, you got it all.”

I don't always know what to expect from the stories Jessica Gadziala pushes out, but her heroes... can't help but love 'em. I'm off to read Wolf's story next and I'm excited to see what mayhem finds this silent and fierce biker. I wonder if we'll get a full sentence out of him :D
