Review: Rejecting His Desire – Dilys J. Carnie

When Rose’s past catches up with her will she survive? Jack will stop at nothing to make sure she does.

Rose Eagleton has never let anyone penetrate her tough exterior. She won’t allow herself to be hurt again, nor will she let anyone uncover the secrets of her past, which she has successfully hidden for years. But when she meets Jack Calloway he refuses to let her hide behind her shell. She’s confused about her feelings for this man who takes every opportunity to be close to her, to touch her, to make her feel. But she knows one thing for sure—she can’t let him become important to her.

Jack’s motto had always been ‘to protect’. An ex-Navy Seal who is now part owner of a security firm, he takes his work seriously. When he installs a security system in Rose’s club as a favor to her sister, he finds himself intrigued by the beautiful young woman who fights so hard to keep him at a distance. As he discovers the secrets she’s trying so desperately to hide, it becomes clear that her life is in danger. Can he break through her shell and provide her with the protection she needs but refuses to accept?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This was an interesting story touching on some of the horrors of human trafficing and how victims, if lucky enough to escape, deal with the crime committed to them. Rose was a survivor and with lots of planning and moving around she reinvented herself and was finally feeling safe when she met Jack an ex military man with a passion for protecting those he cared about.  Rose was always cautious but it seemed that her past had found her again and Jack vowed to protect her.  This book was  a sweet romance with some twists and turns that keep you turning the pages to find out how it all comes out in the end.
