Let Me by Author Tracey Gerrard is a romantic suspense novel introducing the reader to the main protagonists Jennifer (Jen) and Zach. Jen is a strong and independent female lead who has suffered a series of hard knocks throughout her life. She was abandoned by her mother and following the death of her alcoholic father she assumes parental responsibility for her teenage brother leaving little time to enjoy anything outside of the weight of responsibilities she carries. The stress of trying to hold everything together soon takes its toll and things go from bad to worse when Jen’s brother gets involved with the wrong crowd. Zach is a ‘Dom’ who isn’t used to women saying no and when he attends a party that Jen is waitressing at, the sparks fly and triggers Zach in re-evaluating his life. He considers what he wants from a relationship long term and his sights are set on Jen. Zach falls hard for Jen, realising what she could mean to him when he almost loses her following a brutal attack that leaves her hospitalised. Having been let down too many times, and with her attacker still at large, Jen is determined to keep the barriers up in order to protect herself and brother. Zach is as equally determined to help protect Jen and her brother and give them both a chance for a better life. The question is can he convince Jen?
On the whole this story is well written, with a few minor editorial issues that can occasionally distract, but are not significant enough to spoil the enjoyment of the story. The plot moves at a good pace and has plenty of drama, tension and romance to keep fans entertained and turning the pages. The characters are very credible, especially Jen and Zach and readers will very much invest in their story and want the best outcome for them. The dialogue is relevant and flows well. I also really enjoyed the brief appearance and connections to previous characters from the ‘Ain’t Nobody Series,’ which was a nice touch for this stand alone novel.
An enjoyable read and I award 4.5 stars
