Stone Jacobs must die.
Okay, okay. Maybe just maim him a bit. Peel off his perfectly chiseled handsome looks until he knows what it feels like to be normal. And while I’m at it, I’ll throw his friends in, too. They all deserve to be taken down.
I should’ve seen it coming. I should’ve felt it in my gut. The moment my treasure hunter father went missing, my arch enemies sprang into action. While I still reeled, they mapped out their twisted trail of retaliation. They planned their payback, finally acting on what they’ve always wanted.
Because grieving is the perfect time to blackmail someone in the Jacobs’ playbook.
Well, I have news for them. My back may be up against the wall now, but a Wilder will never bow to a Jacobs.
Review: I'm going to start this review by saying that this was not what I expected, and I say this in a good way. The blurb led me to think this would be more revenged based than it is. But I think I'm getting ahead of myself.
Dakota Wilder is the daughter of an obsessed treasure hunter, who has kept her sheltered and living in deplorable conditions. She's always been the outcast. He raised her to believe that the Jacob's were their enemy and she has a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas due to it. I flip flopped alot with her character, due to her whiney poor me attitude. I really felt this book was more about Dakota finding herself and being exposed to a new world than it was about treasure hunting.
Enter the guys Lucas is the quiet grounded one, he and Dakota form a relationship pretty fast as he is the easiest to like. Wyatt is a Cowboy and seems to flip flop from intense to jokester. The relationship is flirty but still stand offish. Finally we have Stone, he and Dakota have a intense I wanna fuck/hate thing going on. There is also the weird step sibling thing they have going on, which made me feel uneasy. All three have their own demons and backstories.
With their coaxing Dakota is pulled out of her shell and morphed into a confident woman. Like I said I felt the treasure hunting, finding her dad etc became secondary to Dakota finding herself and the relationship building.
While the I felt the blurb was a bit misleading, I'm glad I picked up the book. The plot was good and enjoyable. I mean who wouldn't want three hunky guys fawning over you and making all those bullies from high school turn tail. I did enjoy the book and with the cliffhanger ending would like to know how this progresses.
