Slammer

Slammer

Tabatha Vargo — 2015
The last place Christopher Jacobs, aka X, thought he'd find himself was behind bars. Ten years later, the boy he used to be is gone. In his place is the shell of a man with murder under his belt. Any emotion he once had was left under the gavel when he was given life in prison. That is until the new nurse in the infirmary joins the block. Putting your hands on a prison employee will get you the hole, but some things are worth their punishment, and something tells him Lyla will be worth more than he bargained for. Lyla Evans isn't sure about her new job at a maximum security prison, but showing uncertainty and weakness isn't an option. Taking care of murders and rapist isn't ideal, but survival is key. She's warned ahead of time about a prisoner named X, but when she's attacked, it's the dangerous X that saves her. Fraternizing with the prisoners is forbidden, but sometimes the most forbidden things are the sweetest.**WARNING** This book is NOT for the faint of heart. If you have issues reading about abuse (physical or mental) then please DO NOT read this book. 18+ for sexual content, language, and violence."HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY! What on earth did Tabatha do to my heart?! She ripped it out, stomped all over it, and shoved the broken thing back in... and I loved every minute of it. I think." ~Heather, Give Me Books"I just cannot put into words how much I loved Slammer!!! Be prepared for a ride of a lifetime with X and Lyla!" ~ Kara, Give Me Books"A haunting, unconventional love story I will never forget." ~Ella James, USA TODAY bestselling author of Sloth"If you're looking for a mushy sweet romance, this is not the book for you. If you want to read something that is unlike anything else out there and that will surprise you and leave you in complete shock, then READ THIS BOOK. Without a doubt the best book I've read in a long time. It's dark, twisted, violent, but it's unique and shocking and unpredictable." ~ Author Amy McClung"I hope you're ready for the best mind fuck of your life, because this book is going to give it to you and give it good!" ~ Michele, Devilishly Delicious Book Reviews
