About this listen

It's rule-breaker Emily Foster's birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she's entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.

When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can't have.

Jake's as hot as he is infuriating, and she can't help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake's determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she's determined to get into the right ones - his.

Critic Reviews

"[A] laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with a dash of suspense mixed in!" ( Aestas Book Blog)
All stars

It started off alright so I stuck with it for a while, but it got bad quickly. Terrible dialogue and a completely unlikeable MMC.

I wouldn’t take even half the crap this guy pulls, and the FMC is constantly feeling guilty about reacting to his bad behaviour?

Yeah sure, she could react better but he consistently manhandles her (not in a hot way), dismisses her, insults her (not in a pushing her away because he’s sooo into her way, it seems like he just really doesn’t like who she is) and the final nail in the coffin is he makes fun of her in front of other people (not in a hot bully-romance way).

It’s just…constant disappointment? And gaslighting, which I get enough of in real life thanks.

DNF if I could put 0 stars I would.
