Synopsis
Joss Parker’s life is a fairy tale come true. She’s a concert pianist in New York who lives with her longtime boyfriend and is close with her fiercely protective father—until one fateful night when she is taken in the middle of the night. In a desperate attempt to access a program that could be a threat to national security, her ability to play the piano is threatened. Her world comes crashing down when her father puts his need to protect a program over his own daughter. At the last minute, Joss finds herself whisked away by an unlikely ally. She later lands in the protective custody of none other than small-town bad boy and bar owner Derek Slade. Slade is entrusted to look after Joss and see to it that she hides behind her new persona, Jill, so that bad people don’t find her ever again. Joss has been erased. Joss is now Jill. As Joss trades her blond locks for Jill’s mahogany ones, she also takes on the strength of her new persona. Jill is someone who doesn’t put up with crap. Jill doesn’t trust easily. Jill must protect the broken heart of Joss. Joss and Slade battle an intense attraction, but she isn’t the only one with secrets. Behind Slade’s silver eyes are mysteries he’s unwilling to share. Slade knows better than to get involved with Joss, yet he finds it nearly impossible to push her away. What happens when Slade crosses the line of protector? Can he protect her when the evils of both of their pasts come back to haunt them?
My Review
5*
Id
just like to start my review by offering both ladies a massive round
of applause and laying an instant claim to Derek Slade...yes I'm
afraid he's taken ladies. This book is one that truly makes you
reflect upon the debate of nature vs nurture...Slade's character was
brought into a world where he was taught to feel nothing and to
always put himself first, never to let anyone get close enough to
hurt him. Joss was a motherless, solidly middle class, product of the
arts and yet it was Slade who came to her rescue and Joss that slid
under his defences. Slade's character was funny, assertory and
thoroughly seductive from the first scene to the last. Joss (Jane)
was charmingly adorable with a side of sass...a true ''kitten with
claws'' This book has truly touched my heart. Exquisitely written by
both authors, the character development was utterly seamless and no
point did it feel ''sewn'' together. A damn solid effort, this
reviewer is predicting great things for Ms Christensen if this is
anything to go on! More than just un-missable....this is essential
reading! I couldn't recommend Erased more highly!
