Blurb:

 

The last thing Jackson Connors wants is a housekeeper. He likes his life just as it is — solitary and uncomplicated.

 

Emerald Jewel is a New York designer with a stalker on her trail. She needs a place to hide out and Jackson’s farm is the perfect solution to her problem. The last thing she wants is to be attracted to her sexy new boss.

 

Neither of them is prepared for the explosion of passion that flares between them. They try to resist, but the desire will not be denied. Jackson knows Emerald’s life is in New York and his is on the farm. He’ll eventually have to let her go, but he’s not about to let her face this threat on her own.

 

But the stalker is getting closer to finding Emerald and will stop at nothing to possess her. As the threat around her escalates, she must face leaving Jackson to draw the danger away from the man she’s coming to love.

 

Nic’s Recommendation:

 

Jackson’s Jewel is book 5 in NJ Walter’s Awakening Desires series and is not to be missed. This book has everything—heart-wrenching emotion, edge of your seat suspense, and it’s so hot you’re going to need gallons of ice water.

 

The only thing that disappointed me was that the characters from the first and fourth books didn’t make an apperance, but they really weren’t necessary for the story to be complete. The first book, Katie’s Art of Seduction is one of my all-time favorite books, and I kept watching for Katie and Cain to make an apperance. I miss Cain. That must mean its time for another re-read of  his story. *g*

 

 

I was thrilled that Jackson finally got his story and his HEA. There were times I wanted to smack both Jackson and Emerald for making assumptions and failing to communicate. Thankfully, their families finally did the job for me and got them to open their eyes.

 

 

Jackson’s Jewel is available from Ellora’s Cave Publishing and is a must read that will be going on my to be read again shelf!
