Repeat Offence is a fantasy story, told in first person POV. It’s NOT a romance, and there’s no sex, but I consider it a love story. Apart from the first and last scene, the two MCs are apart. Readers can infer that it’s m/m, but Taz’s (the narrator’s) gender is never mentioned in any way. It fits into general fantasy as much as into LGBT+.

Blurb
It should have ended with their deaths.
But dying in a wash of blood was just the beginning.
Sentenced to eternal life for sacrificing themselves in battle, warriors Taz and Hiro must take turns living as human and Guardian on opposing sides of the veil with only a chance to catch a glance of each other in the moment of death.
Until an attack forces Taz and Hiro to make a choice. Should they cling to what little solace they’ve carved out for themselves? Or should they sacrifice their lives to save countless others and risk the wrath of the Judges for a second time?
Review
It should have ended with our deaths.
It didn’t.
Dying in a wash of blood was just the beginning.
I’d gone to my death with a broad grin on my face.
Only to wake here… wherever that was...

The blurb had caught me since the first time I read it. The warning that - there will no romance and no sex, but still consider it a love story – had curious me even more.
The fact that both main characters had to take turn living in the separated realm as a human and guardian pair, taking turns living and watching, seeing each other facing their tragic death with nothing they can do for hundreds years had become the something that glued me to the story.
Will the punishment given by the judge finally come to its end?
Will there’s a chance to both Hiro and Taz to be together again?
Find the answer by reading the book. Trust me, it worth the wait and your time.
This is the first book from Jackie Keswick and surprisingly I found myself like it.
My one and only complaint is….the story is waaaay too short! There’s a chance the story to develop into more deep and squeeze our heart even more.
Did I cry during the reading?
Yes! At nearly end of the story!!!

Jackie Keswick was born behind the Iron Curtain with itchy feet, a bent for rocks and a recurring dream of stepping off a bus in the middle of nowhere to go home. She's worked in a hospital and as the only girl with 52 men on an oil rig, spent a winter in Moscow and a summer in Iceland and finally settled in the country of her dreams with her dream team: a husband, a cat, a tandem, a hammer and a laptop.
Jackie loves unexpected reunions and second chances, and men who write their own rules. She blogs about English history and food, has a thing for green eyes, and is a great believer in making up soundtracks for everything, including her characters and the cat.
And she still hasn't found the place where the bus stops.
