Provoke by Missy Johnson BLOG STOP Review

Title: Provoke

Author: Missy Johnson

Release Date: March 16, 2014

Synopsis:

Mace Jordan was not the type of guy I expected to sweep me off my feet. I knew of the crowd he ran with, and they were bad news. But beyond that tough, biker exterior was a sweetheart, and one that treated me like his princess.
I liked being the good girl with the bad boy, but I never expected this. What I saw on his computer…I thought I knew him. 

But I was wrong. So wrong…

If there was ever a bad time for me to fall for a chick it was now, but from the moment I saw Leeta, she had me. There was something special about her, and I had to have her. But I also had a job to do, and I couldn’t let her distract me from that. I couldn’t let her discover that side of me either. But she’s not stupid, and I know she’s getting close. God knows what she’ll do if she discovers the truth. 

Or what she thinks is the truth.

**** 4 Alluring Stars ****

I really enjoyed the twists and turn of this story.  Missy really knows how to keep you glued to the pages.  The plot really surprised me as it was so unexpected – I just didn’t see it coming.  I love books like this because it kept me so intrigued as to what would happen next.

The dual point of view is perfect because we get to see it from both sides.  It really made the story work for me.

The story starts off with Leeta and Mace in a strong, loving relationship.  Leeta is your all round, beautiful good girl, she’s a prosecutor and comes from a good family.

Whereas Mace is a tough biker bad boy from a broken family of criminals.  His father is a gangland killer and behind bars.

Mace has had a difficult and tragic past and is troubled by the events that led to his sister suicide.  He wants to find justice.  He wants to make things right.  He wants to be a better man. 

They really are the complete opposites from each other.  it’s captivating to see the strong alpha male showing his emotions to Leeta. 

“God, you’re so beautiful,” he said, cupping my face with his hand.  I closed my eyes, my body weakening at his touch. He swept a strand of hair away from my face as his eyes gazed deeply into my eyes.

He really tries to work hard at proving himself worthy of Leeta and society.  He doesn’t want to follow the same path as his father or brother.

But he has a secret.  One that Leeta stumbles across and has a hard time coping with it.

Leeta sees the good in Mace right from the beginning.  They have a bond that is unmistakably strong and genuine.  But can she deal with his secret? 

He came from a bad family, and he had made some bad decisions in his life, but he was a good guy.

He was my good guy.

Overall, I really loved this story, it had an original storyline which I appreciated and it kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know more.  It has everything you are looking for in a hot sexy read.  It has love, angst, sex, betrayal, suspense and more.

Missy really is a talented writer who knows how to bring your imagination to life.
