Give Me a Reason
by A.L. Jackson
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
"It's torment getting a peek at Heaven from the vantage of Hell. Maybe that's the real meaning of eternal punishment."
Give Me a Reason is the first book in the Redemption Hills series, and I thought it was a good introduction to the new characters and setting. The main characters in this book are Trent, who owns a bar and is a single father, and Eden a kindergarten teacher. They meet when Eden goes for an interview at Trent's bar to get hired as a cocktail server. It is quiet obvious these two are the complete opposite, but you know what they say about those. And that was the case because there was insta-lust between them right from the start. They are both dealing with some issues and it stops them from completely giving in to each other. However, it isn't easy for them to resist each other.
"You said I brought your heart back to life, but Eden, you made mine beat for the first time."
I thought Give Me a Reason was a great start to the series (it can be read as a stand-alone!). The writing was great like always, and I loved the growth in the characters. There was fortunately no unnecessary drama added to the story. I loved all the side characters and thought they added to the story. I especially loved Trent's five-year-old son, who was just the cutest. I am very excited for the next books in the series, because they will focus on Trent's brothers Jud and Logan. Overall this was a good contemporary romance with a bit of suspense/action sprinkled in. It was also pretty hot and steamy, the way I like my romance.
