Book review: Jasper Vale, by Devney Perry

The Edens #5

Jasper & Eloise

Total fascination! This is one of Devney Perry’s best!  I was completely riveted by this story, and fascinated with Jasper Vale.  Initially, I thought that Eloise was a little immature by the way she wanted to keep their Vegas drunken marriage a secret from her family, but then as I continued to read the book, I saw her through Jasper’s eyes.  Her biggest feature is her tender heart and her spontaneity, the way she always expresses her feelings, her kindness and empathy.  For a guy like Jasper and his previous life, she was like a magnet he couldn’t resist.

Eloise’s only ambition is to own the Eloise Hotel.  Her parents have been giving pieces of the estate to all the Eden siblings. Griffin got the farm, Knox got the restaurant, Lyla got the pastry store, and Talia got her inheritance in money to pay for her medical career.  Mateo is still flying planes in Alaska.  And Eloise is vying to get the hotel, but a past problem with an employee marked her as “too tender hearted” and made her parents continue to make her jump through hoops to qualify as owner.  

In this story, we fall in love with Eloise and Jasper as they fall in love with each other.  In order for Eloise to appear responsible in front of her parents, they agree to fake their marriage.  And of course, the inevitable happens.  Both are irresistible!  Jasper’s past makes a come back and Eloise helps him through.  And meanwhile, we watch as Eloise opens Jasper’s barriers and makes a stone-faced man learn to smile and laugh.  Even better, she made a man who hated cuddling turn into a cuddler!  Moreover, we learn that underneath that hard interior is a man with a kind heart.  And Eloise? With Jasper’s help, she’s growing into what she’s always been, an unapologetic tender heart.

There’s a slight suspense in the story that ends in a super dramatic scene, completely surprising.  And the bonus epilogue is everything I didn’t know I needed.  Now on to Lyla’s story which promises to be outstanding!
