Strong Enough by M. Leighton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Is she strong enough to trust the most dangerous man she’s ever met? And is he strong enough to let her? 

How would I describe myself? Well, I’m Muse Harper. I’m a twenty-something painter who loves red wine, quirky movies, and men with a fatal flaw. But that was before I met Jasper King. He became my fatal flaw. Eight months ago, I had a choice to make—abandon everything I’ve ever known to protect my family, or stay and risk someone getting hurt. I chose the former. My plan was working just fine until I found out my father had gone missing.

That’s when I met Jasper. A bounty hunter with the eyes of a tiger and the nose of a bloodhound, he was supposed to help me find my father. What I didn’t know was that meeting him was no accident. Hunting people isn’t all that Jasper does. And helping me was only part of his plan. I just wish I’d found out sooner, before my heart got involved. But even then, I don’t know if I’d have done things differently.

Now, I have another choice to make—trust the man that I’m falling in love with and hope that he’ll do the right thing, or run as far away from him as I can get.

Strong Enough

A mystery wrapped in an enigma!

The heroine: Muse Harper – she is an artist who works at a men’s clothing store. She broke up with her boyfriend about eight months ago and hasn’t been seeing anyone since. She loves men and they are her achilles heel. When a handsome bounty hunter comes into the shop to get fitted for a suit, she is immediately attracted to the dangerous and intense man.

The Hero: Jasper King – his father was abusive, and his mother never stood up to him. Jasper sees him drown his older brother in the lake behind the house one night. He grew up to be a dangerous man and a bounty hunter.

The story: Jasper is the bounty hunter that Muse wanted to hire to find her father. They meet later that night at her apartment. Muse is sketchy in the details she gives Jasper about her father. Though they are in San Diego and her father is in South Carolina. Jasper is planning to drive there and tells her once he gets there it will probably take a few days to find him. Muse tells him she wants to go along so she can see and talk to her father.

Going back to South Carolina is not something Muse should be doing, and her father would be mad at her for it. Something happened when she lived there and her father sent her to San Diego to live with someone he trusted, Mirin. Mirin owns the clothing store where Muse works. Jasper is even more mysterious than Muse, and he has his own agenda in why he takes the job. It was a good book, but one of those that you are always waiting for secrets to be revealed.

This audiobook was narrated in dual points of view via dual narration. C.J. Bloom and Joe Arden. Joe Arden has a great voice and always sounds natural. He is one of my favorite narrators and you can count on him to do a wonderful job. C.J. Bloom has a clear feminine voice which is pleasant, and she also does a terrific job and does a good southern accent.
