Their chemistry has clearly built over the years, partly becuase they don’t see each other expcept after a few years, and she’s beautiful now while he’s exudes sex appeal. This time, Frankie literally does come in Deuce’s face and has a little battle, Eva gets in the middle, gets into a fight with Frankie (we’re strating to see a trend here that Frankie is way too aggressive and can’t handle his temper), and Eva and Deuce are drawn to one another. Frankie even almost comes to blows with Deuce becuase he’s that over protective.įast Forward a few more years when Eva is 16 and she and Deuce cross paths again at another ‘family party’. But alas, she’s way too young and he’s way too old for her. Deuce comes across them at a family BBQ ….and of course Eva continues to be drawn to him. So this story takes us through a series of fast forwards where we meet up again with Eva when she’s a young teen, being shadowed by her adopted brother Frankie who has a very over bearing protective side. in any event, Eva’s cuteness and genuine sweet temperment draw Deuce in, in a way that he could never have expected since he’s all hard and calloused, both physically and mentally. ironically, they are from oposing ‘families’ if you want to use mafia terminology (they aren’t quite mafia, more like hell’s angels). While there, Eva’s eyes fall on Deuce who is also there visiting his father ‘Reaper’ who is also in Jail. Her father ‘The Preacher’ is the leader of a gang so to speak, and is a single father trying to raise his little girl as best as he can. So the opening scene of the book we’re introduced to Eva where she’s at Riker’s Island visiting her father in jail. The snippet that was posted about Eva being 5 and Deuce being 23 when they met is enough to draw anyone in i think. As i was looking on listopia on i came across Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan and the description was really interesting. Thank goodness for holidays – i find myself with even more free time to breeze through a few additional books.
