CASEY

I’ve been putting my son first for so long that I’ve forgotten how to be me. Each monotonous day bleeds into the next, and I feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water.

But a kiss at the top of a Ferris wheel with a man I barely know changes that.

Jay reminds me that I used to be bold. Vivacious. Funny.

Strong.

Now if only I could convince him his past mistakes don’t define the man he is today.

JAY

I can perform over a dozen illusions with a simple sleight of hand, but I can’t make the felony on my record disappear.

The last thing I should be doing is hanging around a young single mom and her kid.

But Casey doesn’t know that I’ve been watching her. That I want her for myself. That I’m addicted to her dimples, her tenacity, her fierce love for her child.

If I was a better man, I’d leave her alone, but she pulls off the biggest magic trick of all time: making me believe I’m a good guy.

This book had me feeling so many emotions. This is the kind of book that gets under your skin in all the best ways and makes you feel everything so intimately. The storytelling is lovely. The writing is smooth and the author really takes the reader on a journey with the way that she writes the story. It's so immersive.

These characters are written so realistically and I loved that. It was easy to fall into their stories and their lives because they felt like people that I could know in real life. They have real problems and real struggles just like anyone. The characters were deep and had some great character development. 

I loved how the romance was equal parts steamy and sweet. I think that the characters backgrounds and personal situations really play into that. The characters themselves have so much depth individually so when they come together romantically the intensity multiplies. I loved that their relationship was one that was built on trust for the other person. It was written so beautifully. 

Overall, this is a story that I fell into instantly and couldn't get enough of. The character will pull you into their lives until you've finished the last page. The story was very addicting and I can't wait to go back and read the other books in this series. I loved the writing and the story and I need more book by this author in my life!

Would you say you’re more trustworthy now, or before you went to jail?” I asked.
His eyebrows furrowed. “Now, of course. I don’t do the things I used to.”
“But you didn’t have a record then.”
“Yeah.” He let out a humorless chuckle. “Because I hadn’t gotten caught yet.”
“Exactly. Sometimes the squeaky-clean ones only look great on paper because they’ve never been caught. It doesn’t make them innocent or harmless.”
We stopped moving.
“Casey,” he breathed out, his tone a bit tortured as he buried his face in my hair. “If I was a better man, I’d walk away from you and your son. I’d leave you alone. I’d let some other guy—a doctor or a teacher or anyone who’s not me—sweep you off your feet and give you everything you’ve ever wanted.”
“But you’re not that good, right?” I asked lightly, a smile spreading over my lips.
Jay pulled back slowly, his scruff scraping against my cheek along the way. Tingles spread over my skin as he gave me a heated look.
He cupped the nape of my neck, and his gaze fell to my mouth. “No, I’m not.”
And then his lips were on mine.
