BOOK REVIEW: REV IT UP by Julie Ann Walker




REV IT UP

by Julie Ann Walker

Available October 2nd, 2012




HE NEVER MISSES A TARGET

Jake “the snake” Sommers earned his SEAL codename by striking quickly and quietly – and with lethal force.  That’s also how he broke Michelle Carter’s heart.  It was the only way to keep her safe – from himself.  Four long years later, Jake is determined to get a second chance.  But to steal back into Michelle’s loving arms, Jake is going to have to prove he can take things slow.  Real slow…

SHE AIMS TO MAKE HIM BEG

Michelle Carter has never forgiven Jake for being so cliché as to “love her and leave her.”  But when her brother, head of the Black Knights elite ops agency, ticks off the wrong mobster, she must do the unimaginable: place her life in Jake’s hands.  No matter what they call him, this man is far from cold-blooded.  And once he’s wrapped around her heart, he’ll never let her go…


Carla's Review:

REV IT UP is the third book in Julie Ann Walker's incredible new romantic suspense series, BLACK KNIGHTS INC., and this is the story of Jake "the snake" Summers and Michelle Carter.

We met both of these characters in the second book IN RIDES TROUBLE.  Michelle Carter is Frank Knights younger sister that he kept hidden all these years in fear that someone might come after her to get back at him.  At the end of the last book Jake came to the motorcycle shop and stated to Frank that he was there for Michelle.

Jake and Michelle have an intense history.  Jake broke Michelle's heart and pushed her away because he was fighting odd his inner demons.  He ended up pushing her into the arms of his best friend.  Now Michelle is a widow with a young son and Jake is determined to do anything to win her back.  The stakes are even higher now because Frank made a terrible enemy is the previous book and now he's out to destroy Frank by going after his family.  Jake is determined to protect Michelle and her son Franklin even though Michelle is not happy about being stuck with him.
Michelle has mixed feeling about Jake showing up again.  She's always loved him but she's hurt about he just left her and blew her off years ago.  When she has no choice but to let Jake protect her, she knows she has no chance at guarding her heart against him.  But when Jake discovers that Michelle has betrayed him all these years by keeping a devastating secret from him, will he be able to forgive Michelle?

Julie Ann Walker takes us on another adrenaline packed, emotional rollercoaster ride in the third installment of the BLACK KINIGHTS INC. series.  I was really upset when I finished this book because I realized that I now have to wait until April 2013 for the next book in the series but I know it will be worth the wait.  BLACK KNIGHTS INC. is an incredible series and I highly recommend it.  Each story in the series can be read as a standalone but  if you want the full effect of the series and the experience of falling in love with the characters as you read each book, I would recommend reading them in order.


I give REV IT UP 5 put of 5 skulls
