About INTERLUDE

Jordan Weston is good-looking, mysterious, and sexually uninhibited, but his life is more like the name of his bar―Just an Illusion. His cousins are the bad boys of Bastards and Dangerous, but their fame hasn’t made everything rainbows and sunshine for him. He’s haunted, flawed, and the sole survivor of a homicide that wiped out his immediate family.

Allie Baker, the most recent hire at the bar, can see through Jordan’s façade. She knows he’s everything she doesn’t need, but she’s beginning to crave his cocky attitude and the way he looks at her. The more she tries to stay away from him, the more she wants to get to know him.
Jordan knows falling for an employee is a bad idea, but Allie pushes buttons he never realized he had. Even though Allie desperately needs her job, she soon decides being with Jordan is more important. Will they be able to compromise, or will she let her chance at love pass her by for the sake of a paycheck?

My Review: 

I went into this book solely based on the synopsis, not realizing that it’s technically book #6 of the Illusion series. After doing some research, I learned that this can be read as a standalone. I definitely agree with that, but I do think it will add more to the story if you knew the backgrounds of the other characters.

This story is about the character of Jordan. I don’t know how much we know about him in past books, but right off the back we learn that his entire immediate family was murdered by his father and he is the sole survivor. Thank god for his aunt, uncle, and cousins who through the years have become his parents and siblings. Sadly, Jordan still suffers from nightmares and issues from the ordeal. Due to this, he doesn’t open up to many people and stays away from relationships. I also loved the fact that he was bisexual. I feel like we don’t see men being comfortable enough with their bisexuality in stories, and it was refreshing to see this in Jordan.

I really enjoyed Allie’s character. I loved watching her being open with Jordan, and allowing Jordan the safe space to open up to her. I enjoyed seeing their connection grow into something more, and I loved the last few chapters!

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. It definitely broke my heart at parts, but I loved the connections. Not just between Allie and Jordan, but between Jordan and his family. I definitely want to check out the other books in the series.
