I have read every Lilly Atlas book that's been released and I have enjoyed each other and Jinx is no different. Jinx is the 4th book in Lilly's Hells Handlers MC: Florida Chapter series. It had everything I'd come to expect from her books. Personable characters, a strong female heroine, and a storyline that could be a reality for some. And we got to read about other members of the club that we've read about before and it was nice to catch up with them.
This book is about Jinx and Harper. Jinx decided when he lost his high school sweetheart and his professional sports opportunity he would never fall for a woman again. He was a hit-it-and-leave-it, type of guy. If they even hinted at being a clinger he wanted nothing to do with them that is until he met Harper and just felt this strong pull towards her. Harper has a lot of understandable issues when it comes to trusting people, especially men. And I don't blame her 1 bit. Her at the time boyfriend betrayed her, she spent 7 years in jail starting at 18, and she's been all alone. When she got out of prison she left home and relocated to Florida and applied for a counseling job. The ladies of the Hells Handlers are opening a woman's shelter and Harper was interviewed to be the counselor. That is how she met Jinx. She tried with everything she had to avoid him and to tell herself she couldn't trust him until she got wrapped up in the club's issues. It doesn't help that since Lock took custody of his nephew when his twin sister died that he's been on a downward spiral causing trouble for himself and the club. Unfortunately, Harper gets caught in the crossfire a couple of times. Jinx vows he will protect her and as he's watching over her they get to know each other more. I commend Harper for the bravery she found inside herself to give life a chance. Not just with Jinx but on everything in life that she missed out on by being put away so young. Does Jinx change his mind and claim her? What are the consequences going to be for Lock? Has Harper finally found the family she's always needed with the Handlers?
I gave this book a 4-star rating and a 4-spicy rating. I loved how this story went. Harper is someone I admire for the strength to actually have a life after getting out instead of stumbling and ending up back inside as most do. Jinx actually stepped up as a man and not just the club manwhore and it made me proud of him. Harper is definitely worth all the effort Jinx is putting into their "friendship." I'm hoping that Lock's book is next because I really need to know what happens to him!
