Review :
I am a sucker for a man with kids. And this was no different. This is a really sweet story and it was a pick me up that I needed. 4 âSweetâ Stars.
Cadence âCadeâ Williams is on a mission. She moves from New Jersey to Vancouver to see if Mac from Mackinley Security is really her father but Mac doesnât trust her but employs her anyway. Her first assignment is a high profile case. Cade becomes a bodyguard. Or babysitter depending on what way you view it.
Cade and Harley forge a strong connection and Harley feels as if she can finally confide in someone. Due to her mother being absolutely frigging nuts, Harley acts far older than her eight years. She has been the personal assistant to her mother until she moves in with her father.
Harley is far older for her age as I also think that it has to do with her heart condition and has a positive outlook on life.
Jax Clark Rockstar God doesnât really know how to deal with his daughter. His ex is frigging nuts as I mentioned before. But with Cade around the build a bridge to cover the distance. Until Jax forces Cade to take a different type of action.
Although at times I felt as if Harley was the main character and that Cade and Jax were secondary characters. It flowed well. But I would have liked to have seen more.
There was so little interaction between Jax and Cade that it was somehow hard to believe that they would work. I wanted them to get to know one another more.
I will continue the series as I think that Ms. Quinn has potential but it could have been fleshed out slightly more.
