“This is Beast. Beast is the size of a Volkswagen and has an impossible amount of buds and blooms. Beast also has thorns. But if you can sneak close enough to catch a whiff, and avoid the gnarly thorns, you’ll be ruined for all the other roses for the rest of your life. The sweetest, most addictive scent amongst the thorns.” That’s what mom told my little sister and I once. She led us close enough to look but no further as she spoke of her favorite rosebush that she had affectionately named Beast.
That was a long time ago.
These days I know another Beast. A different kind of wild, untamed thing. He too is dangerous to get too close to. It’s unfortunate that I can’t afford to care, not when he’s the key to finding my sister.
They called him The Beast of Boston when he was a professional boxer. Now he rules over a bunch of criminals—the same criminals I hope will lead to my sister. I won’t stop until she’s found. I’ll get as close to Beast as it takes, gnarly thorns and all.
The problem is I’m so busy worrying for my own physical safety that I never considered how my heart would behave. Mom was right about one thing: I am ruined for all the roses for the rest of my life and it’s much too late to change it now.

Stephanie’s 3 Star Review:
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
This is the first book in years from JL Mac. I couldn’t wait to read it. This particular novel focuses on a former boxer now in charge of the mob and a future police detective.
Ena or Abigail Talley as she’s known to Carrick “The Beast” Ferguson is an undercover civilian looking for her missing sister. She thinks The Beast may know where she is. Dangerous game that is.
Carrick is trying to figure out who Abigail Talley really is. He know she’s lying about her name…so who is she? Whomever she is it’s not going to be pretty when he finds out!
If you’re a fan of mob/suspense stories you’ll be engaged in this book to see what all is happening. The truth may not be as easy as it seems and it’s up to these two to figure that out!
Welcome back JL Mac! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
