Flight Risk by Amelia Wilde

Jameson Hill has always considered himself to be a crime scene and the mask that he wears for his family is starting to crack. An impulsive decision to kidnap Lily Hayes, the granddaughter of the judge who condemned the Hill's to a difficult life early on after the death of parents, will have devastating consequences and bring together two people from opposites sides who were never supposed to meet and fall in love. Jameson—just like his brothers, Mason and Gabriel, is a broken man who hides behind a cheerful facade that is starting fall apart. Amelia Wilde continues to blow me away with her stories and characters because I went from being conflicted about what Jameson was doing to feeling sympathetic to his brokenness. The fact that he talks to Snowball, a bird that he rescued, was incredibly endearing and charming. Lily herself was also a force to be reckoned with—brave, innocent, kind, understanding, and defiant. Her interactions and chemistry with Jameson were explosive, charged, and steamy.

"I'd rather exist for her entertainment than be a human crime scene, seconds away from exploding into fresh heartache."

In the end, I loved reading Jameson and Lily's beginning. The book does end with a shocking cliffhanger and now it's Lily's turn to change Jameson's world and outlook on life. Despite their rough beginning, it didn't take long for both characters to start caring for each other. In many ways, her chance meeting with Jameson has irrevocably changed her perspective on the meaning of justice, her grandfather's shady dealings, and the path of law school that was initially set out for her. All she ever wanted was freedom and she experienced that with Jameson. I'm excited to see what Amelia Wilde will have in store for these two free-spirited individuals who might be each other's salvation. Fans of Mason Hill (Net Worth) and Gabriel Hill (Power Play) will not want to miss out on this story because it features the youngest brother who has always been known to seek justice against the corrupted.
