Jessica Webb just seems to never disappoint. She knows how to twist and turn not only the events happening within the story but also the emotions of all the characters involved. That will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. I would love to learn more about Skye and Edie and am looking forward reading more from Jessica Webb! I highly recommend Repercussions or many book written by Jessica Webb!

A sweet and tender romance blended with a riveting, gut-wrenching thriller
By Netgalley.com on Jun 14, 2017 01:06
This is the first book I've read by this author and I am so hooked. There is a singular talent for being able to write a sweet and tender romance blended with a riveting, gut-wrenching thriller and that is what you will find in Repercussions.
Edie and Skye initially meet over coffee through their separate support groups facilitated by their therapist. Their attraction is sweet and sometimes adorably awkward, but while they are somewhat broken, flawed, and imperfect by their past traumas, they quickly realize they might be perfect for each other. A sense of hope washes over both of them after their first date. That hope is abruptly and harshly interrupted when Skye's trained military eye notices that Edie is being followed and soon they find themselves in grave danger and on the run.
The balance of blending that romance with the thriller really shines and you are never too far from intense moments of attraction between these two while they are trying to unravel the mystery surrounding Edie's pursuers and trying to escape threats to her life. I absolutely devoured this book, looking forward to every new page of adventure and intrigue. A very polished and well-written book, this one will definitely be on the re-read list for me.

Webb, has easily turned into one of my favorite authors
By Netgalley.com on Jun 9, 2017 10:06
There are so many book coming out shortly, by authors I really enjoy. Radclyffe, Brooke, Winter, Walsh, Friend, so many, that I did not know where to start. Well, that all changed when I got my hands on Jessica Webb's new book yesterday. No offense to these other fantastic authors, but when I get my hands on a Webb book, I have to read it immediately! I'm so happy to be able to say, this book was everything I hoped for, and even more.
The story is about Edie, a journalist that went through an awful accident. She had a server concussion that affected parts of her memory, sensitivity to sounds, and even jumbles her thoughts. It has also made her paranoid, that someone is following her. At a recovery group meeting, Edie meets an ex-military, protection specialist Skye. Edie is instantly attracted to the strong but shy women. After spending some time together, Edie starts to realize, she might not be paranoid after all. Someone really might be following her. Can Skye be the one not only to save Edie, but to also steal her heart?
I loved Webb's first book Trigger. In fact I loved the whole Dr. Kate Morrison series. But what made Trigger really special, is that it was so different. It was not something we have read in lesfic before. I'm surprised and elated, to have that same feeling after reading this book. I have not read anything like this in lesfic before. I don't know where Webb gets her ideas, but her imagination is wonderful. Yes, I know I am fan-girling out, but I can't help it!
This book sucks you in immediately. It is a page turner, and I could not put the book down until I was finished. I wondered how Webb could make two new mains as likeable as Andy and Kate, well damn Edie and Skye come pretty close. And while this is an absolute action book, I thought Webb balanced the romance really well. The characters have obvious chemistry and they almost devour each other, in the sex scenes. It was pretty damn intense, in a good way:)
The way this book wrapped up, it might not be a series...But, there was a great secondary character in JC and the intriguing Dr. Crask, that would make for an excellent spin-off. Hopefully, if Webb goes this way, she will check in on Edie and Skye.
This is an absolutely easy recommendation for me to make to action-romance fans. If you enjoyed the book Trigger, you will enjoy this. You might even like this better, as the romance is a little more balanced. Webb, has easily turned into one of my favorite authors. I'm amazed how she can put out this kind of quality, book after book.

feel giving 5 stars to this book just isn't enough.

I can not describe how excited I was to see this book on NetGalley! I have loved all the books in the Dr. Kate Morrison series. Love me some Kate and Andy! So while disappointed this was an entirely new book with new characters...at the same time couldn't wait to see where Webb would take me this time!
This was really, really good. I pretty much read this in two sittings...separated by a few hours of sleep. I had trouble putting it down! Interesting, fast moving plot. Wonderful, well-developed characters. Sweet romance.
So glad we have Jessica Webb writing in LesFic!! I feel giving 5 stars to this book just isn't enough. When I compare to other books I've given 5 stars in the past..honestly there is very little that compares.
