Book Review: END OF THE LINE by AG Meiers (Jake's Bar #1)

 


End of the Line
(Jake's Bar #1)
by AG Meiers

Opposites Attract…T R O U B L E…

Jake Devlin knows trouble when he sees it and he wants no part of it. His quiet, peaceful life is a hard-fought dream. And the man who stumbles through the backdoor of Jake’s bar—beaten to hell—he is trouble with a capital T. The last thing Jake needs is to get involved with the sexy and secretive stranger. He definitely shouldn’t offer him a place to stay. But…he does…

Murder and mayhem follow Detective Miguel Conway. One minute he’s working a case, and the next, his cover is blown and he barely escapes with his life. Con didn’t expect Jake to offer help when he needs it most. And he definitely wasn’t prepared to fall for the grumpy ex-Marine. But…he does…

Attraction sparks as the two men are thrown together to figure out who wants to keep Con quiet and why. Well, at least Con is trying to solve his case. Jake is mainly trying to protect the young, impulsive cop. Midnight stakeouts, a celebrity wedding, and passion-filled nights—can Jake and Con find the balance between taking risks and keeping safe? And turn attraction into happily ever after?

But none of that matters if they fail to get the target off Con’s back…

Carra's Review

The opening chapter of this book sure does grab your attention!  It sets you up to expect excitement and intrigue right from the start, and goes on to keep you on your toes for the rest of the story.


Con was smart and capable, though a bit impulsive when he would get impatient.  Jake was gruff on the outside but sweet, caring, and protective of those in his circle on the inside.  The two of them complemented each other quite well, and had the physical chemistry together too.


The supporting cast of characters were great, with their own individual quirks that added to the “found family” vibe in Jake’s bar.  I wasn’t a fan of Con’s mother, but his sister was pretty cool.  


Some elements of the story felt a bit over the top with certain characters’ actions and reactions, but I still enjoyed the overall story.  The pacing was good and I was engaged from start to finish.  End of the Line was a solid 4-star read for me, and it has me looking forward to reading the next in the series.  This story is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.
