Allison is a college student who is writing a paper about work release inmates. Some are working at a gym where her sister Lila works.. Allison gets an interview with Beast one of the former inmates.. When she meets him, she is eating a jelly doughnut and he remembers her as jelly for the doughnut. When he calls her that, her sister is somewhat offended as Allison has a poor self image. Despite the strange meeting, Beast and Allison have an instant attraction which is not really a good thing as her sister and many others are very protective. Beast's reputation doesn't help, but he has changed. The chemistry heats up and they begin to date. Everything is going well until there is an incident that puts Allison in danger and Beast at risk to go back to jail. Will this romance work out due to all the opposition and will Beast go back to jail? I loved this book as it is a second chance for someone that needs it for a new life. Finally someone who loves him for who he is, not who he was. Interesting concept and it works. Well written and researched. I received this book from Net Gallery for an honest review and no compensation otherwise.
