Such a dirty talker
His inspiration. His torment. And his temptation...
Jasmine Taveras is the reason Sarge Purcell grabbed his six-string and bailed the hell out of New Jersey four years ago. She's the fuel for every song he's ever written-each one laced with bitter, hard-edged, hungry lust. Now, with his hugely successful band is on temporary hiatus, Sarge is determined to prove to Jasmine that this "kid" turned into every inch the man she's always needed...
Men are slim pickings for a single factory girl in Hook, New Jersey...until tall, broad-shouldered hotness walks-or rather storms-into Jasmine's life. Sarge's return shouldn't affect her this way. He's her best friend's much younger kid brother, and the kind of rough, gritty, sexiness Jasmine has no right to taste for herself. Even if he lets her.
But lust is a blinding, insatiable force. And when it crashes, it will take both Sarge and Jasmine down with it...

I actually liked this book a lot, some of the sex scenes were on point and very hot.
But at the same time, the story was nonexistent because of these scenes. There was just so many of them, there was almost no time to develop the characters.
Also sometimes I cringed a little while reading some stuff the mc said. Dirty talk is good, but sometimes it was just too much. I mean... “To pin her down, plow himself deep, and pump like a nasty dog”. Who even thinks that? And Sarge was a little bit too dominant, even though he was a very nice person. I like my men in romance to be dirty talkers but soft at the same time.
The ending was sweet, even too sweet for my taste, but it's fine tbh. I'm looking forward to continuing the series!
Usually I avoid the older woman/younger man trope as it really does nothing for me. I heard good things about this one, so I thought I'd give it a go. Surprisingly it wasn't the age difference that turned me off in this one, but the heroine herself. Jasmine was just plain annoying. She was whiny and such a “woe is me” character, and all her pushing away and hurtful attitude towards Sarge made me want to punch her in the face.
Sarge was a dirty talking awesome hero and deserved WAY better then the sad excuse of a heroine he got. The sexy times were smoking though, so I'll give that and Sarge 3 stars.
