The heroine was mistakenly assigned to give therapy/evaluate the hero who has been locked up for murdering 3 men (the 3 men murdered and raped his sister so he got revenge) Their first meeting wasn't a good one, the hero made the heroine snap and he realized she was his mate. He use to work for the military and is insanely smart and invented technology for the military and crap. During her time there to study the hero he had a secret phone that he would text her/sext her/flirt with her and they basically behind the scenes flirted and messed around when no one was looking. The heroine came to understand the hero and was reserved for the majority of the time because she knew what they were doing was wrong/forbidden even if they were mates. The hero throughout the story creates a secret plan to escape and to kidnap/take the heroine and make her fall in love with him and run away to another country. By the end of the book, he does that. There is some groveling but it wasn't needed given their situation, she loved him and would've gone with him anyway.

Sam has made one books similar to this one, I think this one is better.
Heroine is plain and isn't conventionally attractive yet she catches the eye of the Mafias beast (Hero) Hero goes into her resturant where she works to eat with his friend/coworker. Hero never excpects to see the heroine (she was his waitress) again after his meal but his friend accidently shoots the heroine after her shift is over. Hero takes the heroine home and takes care of her until she is recovered. They bond and get along but in order to protect the heroine the hero makes it clear they can never be in contact again after she is healed. She recovers and a month passes, heroine is at a club with her friend and the hero just so happens to be there too, he offers her a one night stand and she agrees. Again he makes it clear it can only be one time to keep her safe. The hero however keeps coming back whenever he wants a fix and the heroine tells him she doesn't want to be used anymore. The hero tells her fine but if shes gonna be his woman she has to follow his rules in order to keep her safe. He buys her a safer apartment and teachers her how to use a gun, he protects her and takes care of her and makes her promise to stay with him forever and to be careful becasue there are people who will use her since shes his weakness. Drama happens with the mafia he works for and a rival mafia but he puts it all to rest and ensures they have a happy life together.
I found this one more crazy then the other SC story she made similar to this one but this one I could really feel the love from the hero more.

I would've given it 4 if the hero wasn't so shifty with his feelings for the heroine. I wished she had a bit more of a backbone. The hero saves the heroine from being assaulted sexually and that leads to them having a friends w/benefits typa relationship (my least fav) they both have feelings for the other but the hero won't admit his feelings cuz he believes he doesn't deserve the heroine. The heroine won't admit her feelings because shes scared she'll scare him off. I know she isn't "good looking" and I LOVE heroine's who aren't gorgeous and in most stories, the hero falls instantly in love because of her BEAUTIFUL LOOKS blah blah. However, I did wish she put her foot down and went back to her dating apps to show the hero that she wouldn't wait for him forever. His head was in his ass for too long. Either that or she straight up tell him she doesn't want to be used anymore. He never really ever reassured her in that area. Either than that It was a nice SC book. Again, I LOVE that she wasn't drop dead gorg like most heroines are and I loved how the hero loved her for her, and thought she was beautiful in her own unique ways.

okay no. heroine is stupid and annoying, unlikable and doesn’t know what she wants just like the hero. Chopping writing, choppy story telling, inconsistent.

A few problems with this one. First off the side char are annoying especially the (ow) i guess you could call her. She’s a grown ass woman hiding behind a fake relationship cuz of her family, like seriously? If they don’t accept you then they can fuck off and you can grow up and stop hiding behind a fake relationship. She fr was acting like she was in high school or something. she was annoying and i hated that the H and h came together BECAUSE of her. So obnoxious.
the H was pretty disappointing. he didn’t really grovel or apologize (that’s a no from me) h was a doormat, they get together at the end and the book ends, those endings are disappointing.

reason why it’s not getting a .5 stars is cuz after the hero gets his memories back he doesn’t apologize to the heroine for being a temporary jerk and he sorta drags her back to his place and has sex with her and she doesn’t really know why but she goes along with it? He doesn’t tell her he remembers and that just really ticked me off. The next morning she sees everyone getting ready for her wedding that he didn’t even tell her about and he just expects her to go along with it after being rude. the thing is she does go along with it and it’s never talked about again..
Pre him losing his memories he was actually really nice and fluffy and they were so cute, i wanted more ghost action too.

okay so this was surprisingly safe for a sam creasing book. probably her best book so far, however just because it’s her best book doesn’t mean it’s the greatest thing ever. I had a lot of problems with it (typical) but again, pretty good for a sam creasent book.
I did not like the hero (compared to her other books he was a angle tho) i don’t like when it’s a soulmates book and they slept with other ppl knowing they had a soulmate out there. I don’t get it. I don’t like how he belittled the thought of soulmates and saying stuff like “why wait” the heroine was again way to much of a pushover and for some reason infatuated with the hero. To much side character drama, to much unnecessary description, it was basically boring and took away from the main couple. Also, it really felt like the hero just wanted sex from the heroine, no fluff, not really, not great romance just fast sex. pretty sad.

okay this one was meh. The hero was disappointing and the heroine had no backbone. I liked the book and i feel there was more potential to make it a genuine 4 stars but it missed the mark in a fee things.
The hero needed to show he was sorry more and he needed the have the heroines back wayyyy more. It felt like the heroine was the one that really only cared for a deeper relationship other then sex and babies, hero was all about sex and babies and i wished he could it more effort into convincing both the heroine and the reader that he did in fact care about her. The whole Alpha bitch thing was just obnoxious and a stick in my side, it made no sense, he was really stupid for a good portion of this book.
I also hate that 98% of the book they argued and like right at the end they have sex and get together FINALLY. Yeah i wasn’t really convinced that he cared a whole lot about her, i feel like he was more interested in the baby and she was a accessory. Yeah i hate when they have sex and get together right at the end. Poor grovel and not much affection…

okay this one seriously disappointed me. the first 12 chapters of this book just talks about and recaps the events of the first book and we mainly get content of the first h and H of this series, this felt like a poor excuse of filler to make this book like 30 chapters long.
Also i hated the fact that the hero and heroine were being hypocritical about the fact that she was a virgin and mafia world treasured virgins and they didn’t accept or like that yet the male lead got horny and happy that she was a virgin and the heroine hated that she was a virgin?? My problem with JS books and just these types of book in general is that they will make a big paragraph in the book talking about how “i’m a virgin but it’s not like i’m waiting for marriage and the whole concept of virginity is stupid and being a virgin sucks and blah blah blah” yet ALL OF THEM ARE VIRGINS??? Like who’s team are you playing here? PICK ONE. There’s nothing wrong being one and there’s nothing wrong with not being one, so why tf are you playing sides here and bashing virgins the praising none virgins but yet are still a virgin???

i feel like i could’ve definitely liked this more then i did, i was very disappointed when she got her memories back, it’s like she completely forgot how horrible he was treating her, he didn’t even grovel either or apologize.

check out my tags/shelves for more info
yeah no. this was a waste of time. i can’t believe people are actually into this guy, there is a clear difference between a alpha and a abuser. Male lead was so disgusting, he mocked her, called her poor like 500 different ways, forced her into marriage and if she didn’t marry him then he’d take all custody of the kids away from her, i honestly thought that, that was a universal turn off/ick, like what woman, especially mom would want to be with a man, let alone WRITE a man who blackmails something and uses the kids as leverage??? Wtf is wrong with JS? Yeah, i haven’t red a JS book before but based on this book alone and other reviews i’ve read, this is by far enough to make me not want to read another JS book. I would never wish this shit on my greatest enemy, i hope JS never has to experience this shit either. What pissed me off even more was that the female lead, ONCE AGAIN, is a mindless pushover, he then uses sex to get her to comply, he didn’t apologize, he didn’t grovel, he didn’t do any of that. If i was the H, i’d make sure he would never be able to find me or my kids. disgusting. One of the worst male leads i’ve ever read in a book holy shit.
honestly so disappointing, i love this trope, the one night stand that leads to kids and reunite years later, but what sucks about it, is it’s a hit or miss, and this one is 100% a miss. it’s not hard to write a good hero, i could’ve written up a better “love” story

Felt like filler, this whole book was mostly just chaotic and rushed, especially the epilogue, felt artificial and unnatural… also, we don’t get a lot of chemistry between the 2, just sex and that’s all, couldn’t connect with them.
