Royal Rescue by Lisa Childs
4.0
Warning: Do not read this book if you haven't read the first two. Also, spoilers ahead if you haven't read them.
The book starts with ex-reporter Josie Jessup attending one of her former student's funeral. She is living with a fake identity and teaching journalism in the local community college, due to the threat to her life as evident from the last two books. She is dead to everyone, except Charlotte, Aaron, Gabriella, and Whit.
The funeral is of Michael, the same whom we met briefly in the first book.
In O'Hannigan's Tavern, Brendan O’Hannigan is drawn to the television when an announcement comes about media mogul (Josie's father) Stanley Jessup's hospitalisation. It's been three years, and he hasn't been able to forget anything about her, since her 'death'.
Josie's mother was European royalty. So now it's clear why she is also royalty, in a way. An American princess.
She risks everything, her and her son's life, to visit her father. She wants him to know that she's alive, and also to introduce him to his three-year-old grandson, CJ.
It couldn't have been a more perfect cover. Little CJ with his bright red curls. I love how Charlotte is still present here. She is the most badass of them all.
When Brendan finds Josie in the hospital, she fears for her life as he was the one sent to kill her three years ago. While he is also angry with her, thinking she deceived him and seduced him for a story. He knew it was dangerous to get close to her. Brendan's father was the much-feared Dennis O'Hannigan, Chicago's crime boss.
Little CJ (Charles Jesse Brandt, named after Charlotte, aww) is so cute and courageous. And he will 'p-tect' his Mommy, even from Brendan.
When I read the first two books, this wasn't linked with them, and I had totally missed it. I re-read the first two books again. And finally, Josie Jessup, who's mentioned in the first book, and whose father plays an important role there, gets her own book.
"She was too scared to thank him and too smart to trust him."
And from there all the action starts.
There was a threat to her life because she was reaching for the truth in her last exposé, about who killed Brendan's father.
It is such a thrilling ride. Brendan and Josie not able to trust each other, again and again. But they get there in the end. And then the enemy comes out to be a totally unexpected someone. And not one, there are multiple villains. More the merrier. It has a perfect ending with an epilogue bringing all three stories together.
