Romeo
A deadly secret, an unexpected love that could cost everything.
Riley "Romeo" Hunt is an expert at finding those who don’t want to be found. When he's hired to catch a notorious jewel thief responsible for a brutal murder, he never expects to find a beautiful woman caught in the middle.
Jules is running for her life. After witnessing her grandfather’s murder during a heist gone wrong, she’s left with nothing but the haunting memory of his death—and the killer's vow to silence her, too. She has no choice but to flee, leaving behind everything she’s ever known.
As Riley and Jules cross paths in a desperate race to uncover the truth behind the murder, the lines between ally and enemy blur. With danger closing in, sparks fly between them—igniting a forbidden attraction neither one of them anticipated.
Riley promised himself he would never fall in love. But with every heartbeat, his resolve begins to crumble, and the feelings he carries for Jules grow stronger.
But love is a double-edged sword, especially when it’s wielded by enemies who will stop at nothing to destroy them both.
In a world of lies and deceit, Riley and Jules must decide: Is love worth the risk?

5 STARS - Romeo
Trigger warnings: substance abuse, SA, grooming, abduction.
Want a Christian version of Romeo & Juliet but with a happy ending? This is the one.
Some of us have a past and we want to forget it, sometimes we also try so hard to avoid repeating it. Jules' story will have a deep place in my heart. From feeling like a failure and constantly being blamed to finding strength, faith, and love and realizing that she matters.
This book is a reminder that whenever we feel alone and a disappointment, we are NOT. God, our Father, will never leave His children even after making the same mistakes over and over again. So, if you struggle with that, pick this book up. If you seek, He will be there to guide you and lead you.
Riley, oh Riley. Sorry Bradyn (eldest Hunt brother) but Riley is now my number one. This man not only has long eyelashes and is romantic, but also loves to read, cook, and paint your TOES?! I want one for me too... *sobs*
Jules character development was fantastic. From not trusting ANYONE to opening her heart to Riley and to the Lord. Riley? He was always there for her too - protecting her from anyone and anything.
Plot? Amazing.
Writing? Splendid
Characters? Beautifully made
The Epilogue? I. LOVED. IT.
Favorite quotes:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you."
"the devil attacks what God wants to use"
*thank you for the arc! Hard to put down!

* I feel like we could've gotten more information about Micah AND maybe there could've been a reunion at the end? Maybe we'll see them at their wedding?
It’s been along time since I’ve had the urge to binge a series, but with her costal hope series, Jessica started just that. I can’t wait for every new installment of any of her series.
Just like the Coastal Hope series, these books are amazing. Great story lines and characters. I couldn’t put them down.
My only hope for future books is that someday the author writes about a girl or a guy who is a brunette with brown eyes. I get that emerald eyes are beautiful and hazel eyes kind of sound masculine and dreamy, but most of your characters already have those. The occasional blonde haired blue eyed beauty makes an appearance so why not the brunettes? 😁
