Fresh Fiction Review

Rev It Up

Romance Suspense

Jake "The Snake" Sommers made a huge mistake when he played matchmaker and paired his best friend with the woman he loved. At the time, conquering his inner beast was his number one priority. He had no room in his life for romance, yet his feelings for Michelle did not fade overtime. Instead, his longing seemed to flare to life. Now he's back, his demons tamed for the time being while his best friend is buried six feet under, leaving the only woman they both loved alone with a young child.

Michelle Carter has moved on, forgetting the man who once shattered her heart. But when Jake suddenly walks into her life with the intention of getting her back, Michelle isn't easy to convince this time around. Along with the grief she harbors over her husband's death, her heart can only take so much torture. Though she still possesses strong feelings for Jake, this is not the type of temptation she needs right now, especially when Jake was so much of her past when Preacher was alive. Will she give Snake a second chance to finish what he started?

Meanwhile, men for hire are on the hunt for Jake and his Black Knight, Inc boys, a group of ex-military specialists who do the most dangerous and secretive work for the government. With a fifty grand per head reward, the threat is high, and the stakes are even higher in this fast-paced, explosive read. Things get even more interesting when Michelle becomes a direct target. Now, Jake must use everything in his arsenal to keep Michelle safe if only to honor his fallen comrade's wishes that he keep his woman protected.

Walker has a particular talent for penning touching scenes in the most dire of times. I love the way she is able to evoke emotion and heartbreak even as the action bombards readers from the sidelines. It simply adds to the story in a way that makes the reading experience more tangible, as if readers are right there amidst the action.

REV IT UP is rife with gripping suspense, high-octane action and sizzling sexual tension that will steam up the windows. Combining humor, heart and action in a spellbinding mix, Julie Ann Walker will entice readers to take a ride on the sexy side.

SUMMARY

Jake "The Snake" Sommers has spent most of his black-ops military career fulfilling a promise he made more than a decade ago. Now he's finally free to pursue the woman he sacrificed...but hates the very ground he walks on. Michelle Carter has never forgiven Jake for being so cliché as to "love her and leave her." But when unknown enemies threaten everything she loves, she must do the unimaginable: place her life — and that of her son's — into Jake's seductive hands. Keeping her and her son safe is his final mission. Keeping her heart to herself just might prove futile...
