Her boyfriend’s older brother should be off-limits, but he’s a sinful temptation.

Sarah is a preacher’s daughter and a people pleaser. She’s also on the verge of graduating high school and following her dream of singing in Nashville. The only thing standing in her way is that the entire town of Devil’s Head, Missouri, thinks she will marry Matt, the son of the town’s richest rancher.

But Sarah’s not sure he’s her future husband, especially when his older brother, Isaac, returns home after serving six years in the Army. He has tattoos on his arms and bad habits that are not “father-approved.”

When he’s not working on the ranch or roping at the rodeo, Isaac hangs out in the barn, playing his guitar. He’s trouble, but Sarah’s music-loving heart gravitates toward him.

Isaac loves consuming Sarah’s mind, crawling under her skin, backing her into corners, and whispering inappropriate things in her innocent ears.

After weeks of playful banter and guitar lessons blurring the line between right and wrong, Issac makes Sarah a proposition she can’t refuse.

But when the unthinkable happens, and everything she knows is destroyed, will Sarah make the right choice?

A small-town, forbidden, standalone, new adult romance with Footloose meets A Star is Born vibes from USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Jewel E. Ann

Sarah and Isaac’s story is raw and told beautifully. Sarah is the eldest daughter to a preacher in Missouri small town. She’s about to graduate high school, getting to sing in Nashville is her life goal. Isaac may be a flirt and the towns bad boy but when you get to know him, he’s quite the opposite. The chemistry Sarah and Isaac have is fire. Getting to see these two learn and navigate their feelings and seeing them become this selfless unconditional love. This was a top 2024 read for me.

It should have been quick—attend the funeral and go back to Club Sin, where I belong. Only, I find myself snatched off the street and taken hostage, transported halfway across the world to the vast, wild jungle of the Brazilian Amazon. It’s not an easy feat, taking a man like me hostage. As a former wetwork operator for the CIA, I’m used to death, pain, and discomfort. It’s all I’ve ever known.

I expect to be rescued, of course. By my brothers—both those with whom I share blood and those with whom I share the brand, the Broken Arrows. Except, they’re not the ones who spring me. It’s a ghost from my past, the only woman I’ve ever loved, someone as inured to the world of special operations violence as I am. Scarlett—codename Scarla—is a lot like tough, hardened, shut off and closed up. Scarlett thought I was dead, and I let her think that when I started my new life in Club Sin, but now, with only a hint that I may be alive, Scarlett is on a mission to set me free—and get answers as to my disappearance.

Together, Scarlett and I have to evade my captors and survive the brutal jungle…but what we discover along the way is just more unanswered questions, a connection that neither of are prepared for, and an enemy far more dangerous than any of us could have anticipated—an enemy who threatens not just Scarlett and me, but someone all of us Broken Arrows thought was untouchable.

Getting to go back to Club Sin is always a great time. Sol has been kidnapped and it’s one hell of a whirlwind to get him back. I was on the edge of my seat eagerly reading waiting to see what was going to happen. Secrets get revealed, new things arise there are twists and turns that keep you guessing. Just when you think everything is going great it’s not. Jasinda still to this day is one of my favourite authors. I can’t wait to see what else she has in store.
