My 4 Star Review:
FATE: the development of events beyond a person's control,
regarded as determined by a supernatural power:
Detective Carson Hale fell hard and fast for bartender
Leila. After waking up in the hospital with bruised ribs and a concussion, he
is confused as to what happened. He remembers asking her out on a date and
kissing her, then everything went black. What shocks him is the pictures his
Chief shows him of the destroyed bar he was at just a few hours ago and the
fact that Leila is completely unscathed from the incident. When he asks Leila
about it, he knows that she is lying to him. The thing is, he can’t stay away
from her. There is something about her that is different from any other woman.
There are also strange things happening when he is with her, but hey, being a
detective nothing really shocks him anymore, he can officially say he has seen
it all.
Leila enjoys her job as a bartender. She also enjoyed her
freedom, a freedom she wasn’t allowed back home. What she wasn’t planning on
was falling head over heels in love with Detective Carson Hale. She knows he is
able to have an open mind when it comes to certain things but she is concerned
for his safety. When the man she has been running away from finds her, Leila is
forced to make a decision that no-one on either side will walk away from.
CHEMISTRY:
the complex emotional or psychological interaction between two people
I fell in love with Carson’s character in Jack and Djinn. He
is smart and intuitive, funny, strong, determined and not to mention GORGEOUS.
When he sets his mind to something, he becomes obsessed with it and will not
let it go. Not fully understanding what is going on with Leila, the one thing
he is certain of that that he will do whatever he can to help her. Whether she
wants his help or not.
Leila just wants to live her life, she wants her life to be
her choice and not the choice of her father. The reality is, her family is old
school and they do things the old fashion way whether she likes it or not. She
really has no choice. She is beautiful, smart, funny and a bit of a spitfire.
She stands up for what she wants and fights everything tooth and nail,
regardless of the consequences.
Their romance is like a tornado. It is fast, beautiful and
can be destructive. Together and apart, they are able to overcome the obstacles
that stand in their way.
Leila and Carson are a breath of fresh air.
Jasinda created some great characters, chemistry between all
of these characters in this series. Definitely leaves me wanting more.
