  I make being a criminal so much fun. But I have a problem. I broke Faith Decker's heart. It took her seven years to return to Mayhem. Now that she's home, I'm on a mission to win her back. When Faith gets caught in the crossfire of the Unholy's war with a drug lord, trust and believe I'll unleash hell on anyone who hurts her. Welcome back to Mayhem-where the villains are the heroes. JESTER is the second installment in the intense Masters of Mayhem series. This second-chance bully romance contains dark themes and a sarcastic (and imperfect) antihero you can't help but love. My Review I did enjoy this next book in this series. Although, I must admit not as much as the first book. It took me a very long time to really find my groove with this book, despite that I loved Faith. She is so spunky, and I love that she called out Jester. Although, she did have a good reason to as he did break her heart back in high school.  When it came to Jester, I had to really warm ...
