Long Shot by Kelly Jamieson

Release Date: February 27, 2018






The Long Shot is a story about moving forward into future and allowing love to take control. Cade is a control freak in every sense of the word and Reece is a strong, "take nothing from anyone" woman with  a mysterious past.  After Cade finds out that Reece has PTSD symptoms, he is on a mission to save her, but the table turns when Reece shows Cade that it is okay to lose a little control and to let life happen. So who do you think will fall first?  Well let's find out…………………………

This story started out fairly slow for me. I liked Reece and Cade together, but the relationship took so long to happen and when it did happened, it most certainly happened.  Reece was a waitress at The Conquistador's, a restaurant that Cade owns along with his two best friends and navy seal buddies.  The restaurant needs a new cook and a new menu to drive their food sales and in comes Reece.  She does not want anyone to know that she is a "foofoo" chef from New York, so she takes the job as a waitress instead.  Cade and Reece bump heads over the flow of the restaurant and the menu items which in turn accounts for some sexual tension. I read the last installment in this series titled, The Hot Shot, and I really liked the book and gave it four stars to be exact, but this was a little underwhelming.  I expected more chemistry and I was patiently waiting for the shoe to drop and I had to wait till the end to get it.  However, when it finally decide to drop, it knocked me down because the ending was wonderful.

I liked the fact that the author gave these characters a heart-breaking back story and they shared that "traumatic" past which, in turn, brought them closer together.  As I mentioned before, the story was a little underwhelming, but the story was solid with a plot, good side characters, and a good ending to a series.  


Rating: 3.5 ⭐⭐⭐½
