About the book:
He’s not a man to be played with.
Not without consequences.
For five years, Levi Tucker had no control over his life, locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. Never again would any woman—any desire—overtake this cowboy’s common sense. Now Faith Grayson, the sexy, brilliant architect he’s hired to design his grand new house, is sorely testing his resolve. Faith is too young. Too innocent. Maybe just too tempting.
My Thoughts:
Levi and Faith meet when he hires her to design his dream
home after spending five long years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s got a lot of anger, understandably so, and
is a bent-on revenge by living well, but is a life centered on revenge really living
well? Faith is a young and Levi feels there’s no place in his life for someone
so innocent. With her passion and zest for life, Faith’s an irresistible temptation.
At twenty-five, Faith is a young design sensation. Her talent
and expertise are much sought-after, making her the perfect architect for Levi’s
house, and after hearing Levi’s story, Faith wants to create the perfect home
for Levi. This man is gruff and intimidating,
makes her heart race with every meet up, but that’s not because of fear. This man stirs up strange and intense feelings,
something that Faith hasn’t ever felt before, being so focused on her career
path.
Levi and Faith came from very different backgrounds and
their age difference made things interesting too, with Levi being thirteen
years older. Yet their differences seemed ignite a spark in both, made each see
life a little differently because of being together. Levi and Faith’s story was a page turner; hot,
steamy, and heartwarming by the end!
I’m a huge fan of Maisey Yates’ romances! The Desire series, a spin-off of her Copper
Ridge series, have all been just a little over two-hundred pages, a story you
could devour in one sitting and I’ve enjoyed every installment!

I've yet to read anything by Yates but I do like the sound of this one. I have a total soft spot for those who have been falsely accused or faced injustice so I can that I would totally be pulling for Levi. And the age difference thing - my husband and I are 14 years apart so I can relate to that. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the age difference here! It was good for both of them for different reasons. My heart hurt for the time Levi lost in prison, but living a good life is the best antidote. :)
DeleteIt's been a while since I picked up one of her Copper Ridge books. This one does have some potential, though, yeah, the revenge element might be problematic.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was a little worried about that too because I hate revenge plots, but no worries here. It's not something that's a huge part of the story.
DeleteShe always has the cutest covers
ReplyDeleteShe really does! :)
DeleteHi, Rachel! I just finished reading In Her Sights by Katie Ruggle...and I totally loved it. Thanks for the recommendation!! :D (And this Maisy Yates book looks good, too.)
ReplyDeleteYay! It was such a fun book, and I'm happy you enjoyed it, Lark! I look forward to the series continuing! You can't hardly go wrong with Katie Ruggle. :)
DeleteThis sounds like a wonderfully hot and sweet romance. I like that the main characters come from different backgrounds. I imagine Faith is good at getting Levi to live in the moment and enjoy is life, as opposed to seeking revenge by the way you describe her. Excellent Review Rachel!

It was Lindy! Yes, Faith did help Levi let go of those toxic feelings. Thank you! :)
DeleteI haven't read Maisey Yates but love the sound of shorter romances to reado in a sitting!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed them, too. She seems to do the older hero- younger heroine combo fairly often. (not that I mind lol)
ReplyDeleteI just started listening to Yates' books, and so far, so good. These are my first cowboy books, so, yeehaw!
