Gypsy King (Special Edition) by Devney Perry
This just wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be more Motorcycle gang, I know the club broke up but just thought it would have been more about the original club. Also how fast everything happened with our main couple. They were married and having a baby within two to three months it seemed. I do want to continue with the rest of the series just to find out if we ever discover who the murderer was. It just ended a bit strange for me.

This was a difficult book to read. Being a mom of two boys and reading a book about postpartum psychosis and seeing a mother go through the feelings and thoughts that she went through I can't even imagine. I have to say her husband was such a wonderful person and she was so lucky to have him I hate to say it but I think there are many men out there that wouldn't be able to handle the situation they were in.

I can say this was one of my favorite Jessa Kane novella's. Jill and Zach have known each other forever. Jill and Zach's sister are best friends. Zach is the linebacker and Jill is the head cheerleader. Neither can believe the other likes the other one. Love this story line.

Both Characters were a bit crazy for my taste. Not one of my favorite Jessa Kane novellas.
