If you’ve read anything by Missy Johnson, you know how amazing she is. And she writes really fast, too, which is awesome. Her newest release, Provoke, was no exception to the greatness that is Missy’s writing.

Leeta Drake met Mace Jordan in a sketchy bar, where she and her best friend were picking up some weed. Mace, saving her and her BFF from two big, burly guys, swooped in, pretending to be her boyfriend.Soon, though, that turned into a reality, with Mace and Leeta creating a relationship. Leeta is a lawyer who is dating a guy whose family has a big criminal background. Mace is different though, or so she believes. When she finds some things on his laptop that are way past inappropriate, she is hit with the question of how to handle it.

Mace ends up kidnapping Leeta, so she will listen to him. What he has to say changes everything, and Leeta and Mace team up to fight some bad guys.

First off, a warning. This book mentions rape. There are no actual graphic scenes depicting a rape, but just in case you needed to know.

This book was phenomenal. I absolutely love Missy Johnson. She is a fantastic writer with a very vivid imagination. She is very descriptive, which allows you, the reader, to paint a picture in your head of what exactly is happening. That’s a huge plus for me.

The story flowed really well. It alternated between Leeta and Mace’s points of view, and we all love reading in the male perspective. There are some erotic scenes in this novel, which again, Missy is really good at. I mean, she’s basically good at everything.

I give this novel five stars, because it kept me on my toes and I absolutely loved the characters. I could feel the angst, the emotions, the fear. She does such a great job at allowing the readers to crawl inside the story, putting themselves in the shoes of the main character.

Provoke was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I love Mace and Leeta. Together they are unstoppable. They are a perfect pair, one of my favorite book couples.

Great job on this five-star book Missy!
