Second Story #2
In My Bed
The past can shape us …
Jenna Fitzgerald’s beliefs have become her truths.
She’s discovered that it’s easier to stay away from love than it is to try and deal with the loss of it. She doesn’t want a relationship and she has no plans to fall in love. But falling into bed with a guy …
Well, that’s a different story.
Nate Campbell’s rules have been set.
He’s learned that it’s important to really get to know a girl before you move forward. He’s not looking for something simple and easy. He’s looking for something real.
And he won’t give up until he finds it.
But what Jenna and Nate soon realize is that love is truth. And it doesn’t always follow the rules. Sometimes you don't get to choose who you fall for.
Sometimes you don't get to choose whether you fall at all …
This is the second novel in the series about the members of the band, Second Story. Some of the material from In My Bed may be considered inappropriate for readers under 17.

****An Advanced Reading Copy of In My Bed by Jennifer LaCross was generously provided by the author as gift for winning giveaway on Facebook and I'd love to leave an honest review.
I enjoyed it.
Mostly because it's been a while since the last time I read a book with "normal" theme and not the dramatic one. It's refreshing and I certainly finished it in a short time.
Jenna refuse to believe in love again. After a horrid betrayal by someone she loved, now she prefer a "no strings attached" relationship; no romance, just sex. But everything change when she met Nate. She never felt anything like it before and it scared the crap out of her. Would she able to fight her fear in order to be happy with Nate? Or is it Nate's just another guy who will hurt her; because apparently he has this secret he won't share?
The plot twist at the end with Hannah, I liked it. It's surprising and I think I've never read anything like it before. But to be honest, I was a bit annoyed by Jenna's attitude. She's childish for her being 22 year old young woman. I know she's scarred, but seriously, I wish she could be a bit more mature. Nate, is a good guy. I loved how he not shy to apologize and explain everything to her. What a true gentleman.
Overall I enjoyed this book, though I wish there would be more, you know, drama. LOL, I love dramatic love story. I wanna read a GOOD closure with that A-hole, Simon! Jesus, for a moment I though he's going to show up again in Jenna's life. Haha.
I didn't know that this book is a second book of the series and I'd love to purchase book 1 anytime soon. Thank you for the ARC, Miss LaCross! :)

I loved this book. If you are looking for something that's sexy, exciting and funny you have found your next read. Jenna thinks she knows what she wants in a "relationship" sex with no strings attached. I kind of judged her here. As her story unfolds you kind of understand her take on love not that she is against it, it's just not for her. In walks Nate. Nate has his own agenda and let's just say he doesn't share Jenna's point of view. The thing is there is no denying the electricity between them. The author was amazing in portraying the chemistry between these 2, I could not wait for them to just kiss. Jenna and Nate must go against what they each believe to make this work, isn't it easier to just walk away. Let's find out.

I received In My Bed as a prize in a giveaway. The gifting did not determine the review/rating, which reflects my honest opinion. This story was a pleasant surprise, with unexpected depth and great characters. While not one I would have picked out on my own, I really enjoyed the plot development and the sensitivity of Nate, the main MC. A really nice read.

I received a complimentary e-copy of In My Bed from the author in exchange for an honest review.
In My Bed is the second book in Jennifer LaCross' Second Story series and I would recommend reading the first book, On the Floor, before reading this one, just so you'll be a little bit more familiar with Jenna, the main character here. And both books take place in the same timeframe, so it was cool to be able to watch a little bit of Jenna and Jake's story unfold from Jenna's eyes.
Jenna's been in love once before, but after a devastating breakup, her trust level with guys is completely non-existent. She thinks that the best way to prevent having her life and her heart ripped apart again is to not get too close emotionally to any guys. Pure and simple, she loves sex and the physical connection that she gets from it. Even though she's quite adventurous in her escapades, she does have some standards.... she is exclusive during her "relationships" and expects her hookup to be as well, but she's very honest with them all from the beginning that what they have is never going to be more than just mutual satisfaction!
Nate might be just the guy to change her mind. She meets him and his friend Will, one night at a bar and ends up going home with Will and starting something up with him that seems to be working. But she talked long enough with Nate to see that he was a great guy and even tries to fix him up with her friend Rachel. Strangely enough, while on a double date with Rachel and Nate, Jenna starts to feel selfish for hoping that Rachel and Nate don't work out. Will turns out to be a tool and too much like her ex. Rachel and Nate don't work out and Jenna starts spending more time with Will, but completely just as friends.
Nate has his own share of heartbreak and trust issues from a past relationship. Could the two of them be just what the other needs?
I really enjoyed this story, but I'm not surprised because I loved Jenna and her crazy outlook in Book 1. I knew she had to have an interesting story that made her the way she is and I'm glad that I got to see what exactly her story was about. It'd been quite a few months since I'd read On The Floor, so I wish I would have gone back and reread it prior to reading In My Bed, because Nate was such a secondary character in the first book. I don't remember loving him nearly as much as I love him in this book. He's a great guy - it certainly doesn't hurt that he's a gorgeous, sexy drummer in the band but also a great guy. He's guarded because of his trust issues but once he loves, he loves wholeheartedly. His past of course has to come out a bit to cause some issues but I love that the whole misunderstanding wasn't long lived and the way they reconciled was great!!!
I will definitely be looking forward to continuing on with the series, but I'm hopeful I won't have to wait 10 months between books like I did with books 1 and 2!!

I am so excited to tell you about this book!! OK, I knew after reading Jennifer's first book, On The Floor (which you need to read before this one to really appreciate everything, that I would love this book. I was NOT disappointed.
By page 13 I was totally and completely heartbroken and devastated. PAGE 13 PEOPLE!!! I was so screwed. OK, something important to note. I am not, NOT, a crier. It's rare in real life and super-duper rare in books. But I wasn't even done with the first chapter and my stomach was in knots, my throat was tight, and I just ached for Jenna.
I was so emotionally attached and invested in Jenna so quickly, it was so easy to read this in one sitting. Jenna is smart and ambitious, and yet so totally (and unknowingly) vulnerable, you just love her. She I hilarious too.
"I want real life penis and vagina type stuff, not fucking on a cloud..."
Jenna is heartbroken early in life and has decided that exclusive non-relationships are the way to go. And for the most part she does OK. However, she was totally blindsided by my new BBF, Nate.
Nate is amazing. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Talented, intelligent, kind, loving, OMG I could go one forever! He has issues, don't get me wrong, he's not some unattainable perfect guy. He's real enough to love, and amazing enough to want to read about.
They start out as friends, since they are looking for extremely different things in a relationship, and this is new for Jenna. It's really neat to see them come together.
The emotional attachment Jennifer creates really makes you feel everything Jenna feels, and it is wonderful. The entire book has you half-way on edge, waiting right along with Jenna. Even the character development is thoroughly engaging.
I cannot wait for the next installment!!

this book is set in the same time frame as on the floor rachel and Jake's story. You don't have to read on the floor before this but I would as you get to know the gang:
" Rachel: the piano prodigy
Jake: the troublemaker
Brian: the football player
Nate and Toby: the nerds
and me : the aspiring ballerina
I feel like the breakfast club all grown up."
the words of Jenna describing the gang.
this story is about love, trust and learning to move forward dreams may change but it doesn't have to be the end.
Jenna was betrayed by someone she loved and it turned her life upside down, instead of coping she grew a shield and decided she would just have sex with men she fancied and keep it casual instead of falling in love and getting hurt. that was working well for her until Nate came along.
when Jenna got hurt she gave up her dream of becoming a professional dancer and instead ending up teaching. although she enjoys teaching her heart is in performing. Can Jenna learn to put the past behind her and move forward? Will she ever let her shields down?
Nate likes Jenna but he won't sleep with her he wants more will Jenna give in to Nate and her feeling?
I love Jenna she's so confident, sassy, funny and an all around loveable character I prefer her to rachel. Jenna is the type of girl you just want as a BFF.
Nate also has is own heartache and trust issues ( which believe me you understand) . At the end I want to kick his ass for not just telling Jenna everything but it felt like he was pushing her away, I was glad Jenna didn't run she called him out and wanted to know everything or part ways.
we really see Jenna grow as a person from the start to finish as she accepts her feelings she wholeheartedly loves and also learns to trust not just Nate but rachel aswel.
an enjoyable story with loveable characters witty banter and hot sex :) what's not to like lol.

I will try my best to put in words how amazing and incredible this history was, we met Jenna and Nate in the first book of second story ON THE FLOOR, where we see how fun and carefree is Jenna specially with mens, she has like a big rule, just sex and no love, in the other hand we have the cute, handsome, sexy and charming Nate Campbell, Jenna had a plan for Nate they started as friends, even if her stupid heart say another think falling in love wasn't her plan, she was looking for another night, another bed, but he was looking for more but what can you do when your mind body and soul want more and that can only find in the man that makes you think that you can trust in LOVE? story where can see that sometimes the past can change your vision of love, but sometimes will depends of your choice to love or not.
Another amazing book from Jennifer LaCross, i really enjoyed and cried (yeap cause in some part your heart will ask you for help) .a must read of 2015 and waiting for more ;)

4.5 Second Story Stars!
In My Bed is the second book in Jennifer LaCross's Second Story series, and might I say, it was better than the first! After reading On the Floor I wanted less sex and more character development, more drama, more story, and LaCross delivered that with In My Bed.
This book is about Rachel's best friend and sorta-ish ex-boyfriend, Jenna and Nate. You see they formed a bond very early, before Nate and Rachel even dated. I liked the way the author took you back to the beginning and showed what happened with other characters but with the same timeline as the first book.
This book for me was all around a great read, and had everything a New Adult book should have. It is definitely worth your time to read it. Maybe even read it twice. ;)

I really did enjoy this book!
When I read the first page I was a little surprised and thought I wouldn't like it. I clearly judged the book by what I read first. I kept reading and this was a treat to read! I'm certain many women can relate to this story on many levels.
Her relationship history and how its hard for her to trust entering other relationships. Then the relationship process itself and reading the story between the two of them I truly enjoyed. No relationship is perfect and definitely takes work and we all love the butterflies we get and this relationship touched every part of that!!!
Loved this story!!
