Life has always been like a rollercoaster ride that never
ends for bar owner Natalea Jones. Bad
parenting started her off on the wrong foot from birth and still haunts
her. It’s a miracle Natalea turned out
so well rounded, and it’s all because of one man. Drake is the best friend Natalea’s ever had
and the only man who is off limits to her.
Was a romp in the hay really worth losing the feeling of having a real
family life?
Drake Harte’s career is to put out fires, but the one flame
he can’t extinguish is the one he carries for Natalea. For what seemed like forever, Drake has been
trying to stake his claim on Natalea, but she isn’t hearing it. He knows things between them would be
perfect, but Natalea has the wrong idea about Drake. She refuses to take him seriously. Convincing her otherwise is going to be sweet
torture.
When Natalea’s trifling mother reappears, Drake gets his
chance to lay all his cards on the table, so his friend status disappears in
the blink of an eye. These two were
always meant to be more than buddies, and now they are both on the same
page. Their story is short, but packed
with so much emotion and back story. Part of me wanted more of a glimpse into
Natalea’s past, but another part wanted to turn a blind eye when I thought of
all the horrible things she experienced because of her mother. That woman is the reason some people should
be sterile.
The Misbehaved left me feeling the comfortable side of
romance, when lovers are actually friends too.
Jessica Jayne did a great job of sharing Natalea’s problems, but not
making me feel sorry for her. In fact, I
felt empowered by her strength and inspired by the obstacles she overcame.
