Isabel Jordan writes with an intensity that makes every stolen glance and heated argument feel significant. You will feel the weight of their history and the exhaustion of their personal growth as they are forced into proximity, stripping away their defenses until they have no choice but to face their pasts. This is for the reader who wants their romance with a side of emotional turbulence and characters who are as frustrating as they are lovable.
