About Whoa

This story has been years in the making. Jess and Benjie, aka Kruger, have known each other for years. But an overheard conversation put the brakes on anything that could have happened back then.

Ben comes from an affluent family. Watching his father has taught him how to invest, while also teaching him the type of person he does not want to be. He has worked hard over the last few years to set himself up to be able to claim the one woman he loves, without any need for parental approval.

Jess is from the wrong side of the tracks. She works hard and studies harder in order to maintain her scholarships to Westbrook. She has been in love with Ben for years, but knows she can never have him. His parents would never approve of her, so she has friend-zoned him.

After giving a piano lesson, Jess is on her way to her car when she realizes she dropped her keys when her bag tipped over. She heads back to retrieve her keys, when she witnesses something she never should have seen. Now she is on the run and calling Ben.

When Ben and Prism finally find Jess, she is unconscious and bleeding. Ben is freaking out because they will not let him back to see her or tell him anything. So, in his infinite wisdom, he tells them she is his fiance and Matty, aka Prism, is her brother. Lucky for him, she has retrograde amnesia.

Sadly, the amnesia does not stop the threat to Jess. She is very lucky that Ben and Prism are always looking out for her. And after one attack, the rest of Elite rally behind her and Kruger.

When the culprit is unmasked, you will see Jess fight for her life. Then Elite will prove what a family they are.

Impressions

I love reading this series. Each book is different, but each has their own suspense or whodunit. I love trying to figure out who the culprit is and why. Then throw in the trauma lattes. You just have to love this crew of misfits.

Jess started this story as the woe is me victim, but had a strong, fighting for life ending. Throw in the feeling of not being good enough at the beginning to the feeling of being the right one for Ben. And Matty playing her brother is the best. He is just like a brother to her and he is able to tell her things that no one on Elite knows except Ben.

Ben has a plan. He is having to expedite it a little, but it does not matter. It is his plan and he is sticking to it. Even if that means lying. His confrontation with his parents made me stand up and shout. He has been the golden boy while silently taking matters in to his own hands. And the time has finally come to put his foot down. Way to go Ben!!!

Narration

I enjoyed listening to Michael Norman Johnson again. This is only my second book by him, but his strength and character that he brings to the character of Ben is fantastic. Celia Stone is new to me, but I enjoyed how she started Jess off as a meely little mouse afraid to do anything wrong and then grows her in to a strong, resilient survivor.
