The military has left Jace
Nichols broken in body, mind and spirit.
Being a hero has a downside that challenges Jace on a daily basis. Now all he wants is to land a job that doesn’t
bore him and get on with his life. Jace
wasn’t expecting to miss his job interview because of an attack, nor was he
expecting to run into the victim he saved.
Her friend had been lecturing her
on the importance of learning self defense but up until now, Misty Morgan had
brushed it off. Getting attacked on the
way to work could have ended badly if not for the surly man who rescued
her. She already had one disapproving
person in her life and didn’t need another one.
Jace’s archaic views were getting to Misty but so was his unexpected
kiss. She couldn’t figure the man out,
but she certainly wanted to.
Jace has done his best to keep
from dealing with the emotions he has bottled up inside. People treated him differently now and Jace
tried to act as if it didn’t bother him.
Misty has made Jace want things he considers to be off-limits for
him. Her job and reputation are
everything to Misty. She takes pride in
her work and her appearance and she doesn’t take kindly to Jace always giving
his two cents. Jace has demons and Misty
understands that. She’s going to help
Jace rejoin the world of the living, whether he’s willing or not. Helping him also helps Misty resolve some of
her own tense family issues.
Twisted
in Tulips is
the second book of the Tulle and Tulips
series and it rejuvenated my belief that people are still good at heart. Jace could easily have not gotten involved
in Misty’s attack and just called for help.
Regardless of what it cost him to stop and help her, Jace did it without
hesitation. I was impressed with his
character and sense of duty, while at the same time crushed by his pain. I wondered if he was broken beyond
repair. Misty was a confident woman who
seemed to have it all. Her confidence
was her shining quality and I loved her “take it or leave it” attitude. Her issues were different from Jace’s, but
they were equally important in forming her identity. Nikki Duncan did a wonderful job of combining
heartache and heat between a couple that might seem to be opposites. She created a damaged hero that readers won’t
be able to resist falling in love with, just like I did.
