Jules lives with her uncle Nick. He's her only family. Her parents and brother died when she was younger in a car accident. Her aunt Reba died as well when she was fifteen. She doesn't date. She has a cat named Boo. She cares very much for two of her street kids, Roam and Sniff.
Vance Crowe is a ladies man. But once he meets Jules, they are history. He comes from a very sad background. Grew up with an abusive father. He can't tolerate violence against women. He makes it known that Jules is his now.
I loved them together. Again all the secondary characters make this a great funny (except for one sad part), fast paced book.
5/5 Fangs
Quotes I liked:
“Outside my bike, never has anything important in my life been just mine.”
“Find yourself a woman who can cook and doesn’t mind you ordering her around al the time, being bossy and dictatorial and macho and hyper-intense and actually likes it when you get all … whatever… and make her belly flutter.” After I said that, my mouth snapped shut.
Damn.
I’d gotten carried away and went too far.
Another one here:
Instead I said, somewhat wistfully, “I’m gonna miss the street.”
“You left it in good hands.” Vance’s lips weren’t smiling but his eyes were.
“How’s that?” I asked.
“Jack told me a dealer’s entire car was shrink-wrapped the other night.”
I felt my eyes widen. “What?”
“Tex shrink-wrapped a dealer’s BMW. Wrapped the whole thing in plastic wrap and then used a portable blow drier on it to tighten the plastic. Word has it, it was several layers deep.”
