Duplicity by A.J. Renee
5.0
5 stars
Duplicity is the third book in the St Fleur series by A J Renee and again is another fantastic read from this author. Having read and loved the first two books in the series I would highly recommend that they are read in order just so you can understand the dynamics of this group of friends. I was really looking forward to reading this book because Jamie Lynn and Jesse have always been in the background of the first two books and even as secondary characters the tension and chemistry between them was quite apparent. I couldn’t wait to find out just what was going on with them and I have to admit I wasn’t expecting their story to be so emotional. I had always liked Jamie Lynn and her feisty ways, she is a really good friend to both Sofia and Lindsey (who still feature in this book). I loved that she was a strong, independent business woman who knew her own mind. Despite her own past she frequently shows in the story that she has survived the best she can. I loved the relationship she had with her sister and friends. The character in this story that I wasn’t quite prepared for was Jesse. I think it’s fair to say he stole my heart quite quickly! I was just so heartbroken for him as he started to reveal and open up about his past. I liked that the story was told in both the past and the present so we could get a real clear picture of Jamie Lynn and Jesse’s relationship and how (especially Jamie Lynn) they had fought their attraction to each other for so long. There were a few pretty sensitive subjects talked about in the book but the author does an amazing job of addressing these and writing about them sensitively. I loved how both Jamie Lynn and Jesse were able to heal each other and take a chance on a relationship.
This is, yet again, another beautifully written story from A. J. Renee and I am definitely looking forward to reading more from her in the future.
