“I know that when you’re angry about something, it’s because you care. I know that when you’re intense, it’s because you have so much passion running through your veins, you feel like a rubber band about to snap. And when you’re scared, I know you really just need me to remind you that everything will be alright as long as we’re together.”
GUILTY AS CHARGED
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
A new standalone from Harlow James is here and the minute I was able to, I dove in and couldn’t put this book down at all. Javier and Sydney are a beautiful story of looking beyond what you think you know to see someone. Each from the opposite side of the tracks, these two forge a powerful and beautiful romance that will keep you turning the page.
Javier is the type of guy that anyone would fall for. He’s the epitome of a bad boy, but underneath that facade is a man that is protective and loving. You can’t help but fall for him. Sydney’s family issues are totally relatable to me and I felt myself rooting for her and cheering her on every time she finally stood up for herself and who she was.
Harlow created something that had me crying, laughing, and yelling at my kindle because I was that invested in the story she created. I instantly connected to the characters, becoming part of their journey as they navigated it. Harlow’s attention to detail created a world that became like a movie in my mind as I watched it all unfold in front of me.
With heartfelt issues, family drama, and a bestie that had me wishing I had a girl like her in my life, this book was book hangover material from start to finish.
Four stars for this rough around the edges book that will fill your heart and have you begging for more of Sydney and Javier by the time you reach the final page.
