Juke
College senior Jaya J.C. Marcelle fell in love with Cade Williamson during a popular vacation weekend in Myrtle Beach. After one night of explosive chemistry, they fall in love, and promise not to let living in two different states keep them apart.
Distance turns out to be the least of their problems as Cade’s career limits their time together, and Jaya’s college schedule becomes more demanding in order for her to graduate next summer.
Living in two different worlds, they settle for short visits while making big plans post Jaya’s graduation and Cade’s football season. But a devastating revelation shatters Jaya’s dream that she has found the perfect man.
Jaya is forced to come to terms that the advice of her elders are heartbreakingly true. She keeps busy to avoid dealing with her feelings, and focuses on her class workload while watching Cade’s popularity grow from the sidelines.
Fate presents them with an opportunity to correct the damage that the secret brought into their picture perfect relationship. But when the secret can’t be put to rest and reopens the wounds Jaya thought were healed, she is once again forced to act and stand in the truth of the consequences of her actions. Will her decision be best for everyone involved, or herself alone?

not too shabby!
3.5 ⭐️Juke was my first read from this author and it was pretty good but different. I liked the way the characters came together; a one night stand turned into a quick bond. I felt the characters wanted the same thing but the timing was off and it was all built on a lie. The story is really fast paced with a lot of moving parts. I was all into the story and then things took a turn that I didn’t expect. I was hoping there was a huge misunderstanding but nope🫠😔overall, I thought the story was entertaining but I didn’t feel like I got closure in the ending. I would have liked more of Juke on the football field and a conversation at the end.

stop breaking heart please 🤣
I knew this man was to good to be true, seriously it was woow full of chemistry to crash and burn. The epilogue is the cherry on the cake.

Bad writing—bad dialogs, bad ways to describe the actions. Chaotic book with much cheating.
