Excellent Read!!

This new to me author hits it out of the part with Stanger. Talk about a little bit of everything crammed into a book! While it's a heavy topic and slightly dark, J.J. Grice does a nice job at steering more towards the romance.

He isn't a good man on the outside, but on the inside he's one of the best. Especially at what he does. Cole has been through hell and back and now helps others in precarious situations, which is how he finds Lillie. Living the worst life possible, Lillie needs help and unbeknownst to her, that is exactly what Cole is there to do.

The story starts off sad and then it makes you see red learning all that this woman has endured in her young life. I didn't care who saved her, as long as somebody finally gave her a freaking break. Cole was perfect for the job and that's what she was...a job.

Of course in these situations the line starts to blur and the job becomes something more. Much more and I wasn't sure Cole was the right guy for that. To save her sure, but at some points it seemed like she was finding herself in the same situations as before, with different meaning I suppose. If I had one hang up about the book it was that. Lillie leaving something bad for something that could have been better.

Stranger is well written and reads like an action movie. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and while the storyline was predictable, it was quite the ride to the end. This is a great start to the Dark Matter Security series and I'm hoping as they go along, the books are interconnected so we can check in with previous characters.

J.J. GRICE is a married mother of three who has had a passion for reading and writing for as long as she can remember. Her dream has always been to become a published author.

Afraid that not a single person would be interested in reading what she wrote, she put her dreams on the back burner while she focused on raising her family.

It wasn’t until her husband and a close friend convinced her to just go for it, that she finally decided to dive into the crazy world of self-publishing.

After completing The Maine Stay series, her first full-length series, she quickly discovered that people actually want to read what she writes! She now works from home as a full-time author and is truly living out her dreams!
