Blog Tour: All Jacked Up by Abbi Glines

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

This is the story of Ransom and Noa. If you have been reading the Mississippi Smoke Series then you know who Ransom is. Or who he appears to be. He is cocked as all get out and always takes what he wants and make not apologies for anything he does. Noa is a student librarian. She is bullied something terrible. Made fun of, ignored, taunted, her braces, you name it and they bully her about it. You would think that home would be her safe place, but that’s not true in Noa’s case. Her mother and her boyfriend are just as bad. She has learned the hard way to keep her head down, work hard and remain as invisible as possible. She has a dream of getting out of Madison, Mississippi, and she is going to get out if it is the last things she ever does. On the day that one of the most popular boys at school speaks to her she thought things were looking up. Until, she realized that Ransom wants something for her. To be his tutor. He needs help with his British Literature so that he could understand what Shakespeare was saying. This however leads to this odd place with them. They aren’t in a relationship but things are different. I loved these moments of them together. I thought my little heart would melt and they even kept talking off and on when they finished high school and moved on to college. This has gone one for sixteen years. However, I didn’t like the way in high school that if he wasn’t with her as his tutor he didn’t act like he knew who she was around his friends. Now that she is gone I kind of was hoping that she would be all HA In Your Face buddy about that. But to Ransom those text are his secret and she probably doesn’t realize just how much light she brought to him on his darkest days. However, she has been keeping secrets. Her career is not what he thinks and she is super successful author of spicy romance books. When they do finally meet again he is so rude and dismissive. It of course leaves Noa hurt and confused. But you have to read the book to find out what all happens. I loved this story. I loved the secret of their text and how much they meant to him and she had no idea. But man did I want to smack Ransom sometimes. I loved Noa. This poor girls had horrible teenage years but she did not give up on her dreams and got out of the small town in Mississippi. If you have not been reading this series, then you are missing some amazing books. I fyou have and are ready to read this one, you are going to love every single second of it.
