The A in Jessamy Darling’s name stands for a lot to deal with.
Her complete disregard for all forms of authority stems from a childhood past where her parents didn’t believe that her brother was a literal psychopath. From framing her for killing the family dog to stuffing her backpack full of prescription drugs, then reporting her, her brother has made it his life’s mission to make her as miserable as possible.
The moment she turned eighteen, she bailed from her parents’ house like the bottom of her feet were on fire. But if she thought that moving out would stop her brother’s punishments, she was wrong. He only gets more creative.
And by getting more creative, he starts to turn the town of Sawtooth against her.
No grandma, biker, or shop owner wants anything to do with her.
Eventually, she decides…fuck it.
If everyone was going to hate her anyway, why not give them a real reason to hate her?
***
For years, he’s been dealing with her attitude. Her complete disregard for anyone and anything should wear thin.
Except Black’s always had a soft spot for trouble.
And she’s Trouble with a capital T.
He’s pulled her out of more fires than he should have, and he probably should’ve locked her up and thrown away the key a long time ago.
But Black Adkins, sheriff of Jesper County, wasn’t elected into that position because he was a stand-up guy. He’s a rebel at heart, and Jessamy Darling is his kryptonite.
Putting Jessamy in a cage would break her, and he only wants to see her fly.

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster!
I absolutely loved reading Black and Jessamy’s story. It had me laughing, it had me crying, my emotions were all over the place!
This book had a lot of tragedy and a lot of little plot twists I never saw coming! Such a well written book!
Black Adkins is the sheriff of Sawtooth and has had a thorn in his side for most of his career. That thorn is none other than Jessamy. Jessamy got dealt a hard life. She has a younger brother, Leo, who has a lot of problems that have made their way into Jessamy’s life on the regular. It makes living in Sawtooth ridiculously hard for her. Black, as well as most of the town, thinks she’s a troublemaker when in reality it’s her psychotic brother!
Jessamy can’t stand most of the population of Sawtooth but there has always been something about the sheriff. She can’t get him out of her mind. Same goes for Black. He frequently gets called to scenes that involve Jessamy but for some reason he enjoys seeing her.
The character development for both Black and Jessamy is very well written. They both have to overcome some pretty big trust issues in order to accept what’s right in front of them.
I honestly loved everything about this book! Bring on the next one!
