Description from the publisher:

Jessica Zinn: Rebuilding my life hasn’t been easy, and I’m far from done. I have some habits I can’t seem to shake, like picking pockets, forgery, and manipulating men to get what I want. I don’t want to manipulate Jesse, but the lines have blurred, and I can’t separate my honest emotions from my bad habits.

Jesse Foraker: I fell in love with Jessica the first time I saw her, and I’ll wait as long as it takes for her to be ready to love me back.

The time has come for Jesse to make his move, but will Jessica’s love be the real thing, or a forgery?

Warnings: cliffhanger ending, light bondage, spanking

FORGING LOVE is the first book in the Mercenary Hearts series.  This series needs to be read in the order of release.  This is a mini-series within the Safe Security series.  Though not necessary, it would be much more enjoyable to read all of the books in the Safe Security series and in the order of release.



I honestly wish I had read the previous books in the SAFE security series.  Though Jessica’s previous life is fairly well summarized, I think I would enjoy the full story.



Jesse and Jessica’s story is steamy, intense, emotional, and ends with a clever cliffhanger.  Luckily, I already have the next two installments and will be reading them back-to-back (but I’m already dreading the cliffy I feel coming at the end of BROKEN LOVE - lol).



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
