Release Day Launch & Review: Strong Enough by M. Leighton


Now available: Strong Enough, the first book in the Tall, Dark, and Dangerous trilogy by M. Leighton! 

A dark and sexy read in the style of the bestselling Bad Boys novels.






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. And is he strong enough to let her?

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



Great read!!

Muse Harper is in her twenties. She is an artist but works in retail in California. She is in California because it was the only way she could protect her father. They have scheduled, secretive calls and he fails to make one. Harper knows something is wrong and hires a bounty hunter by the name of Jasper King.

The sexual tension that radiates between Jasper and Harper is palpable. Lines become blurred as they embark on the journey to find her father. Jasper wants to stay isolated, to not have the "feels" but Harper has him feeling them anyways. He tries to turn it off but he can't. She has embedded herself deeply under his skin.

But what happens when every thing you know and trust isn't the full truth to begin with? This leaves Harper to question everything in her life, right down to her mother leaving when she was a child.

The twist, turns and suspense in this book had me turning these pages faster and faster. To find out what happens between Harper and Jasper go one-click! You won't be disappointed.
