Jessica Wood writes contemporary romance.
While she has lived in countless cities throughout the U.S., her heart belongs to San Francisco. To her, there’s something seductively romantic about the Golden Gate Bridge, the steep rolling hills of the city streets, the cable cars, and the Victorian-style architecture.
She loves a strong, masculine man with a witty personality. While she is headstrong and extremely independent, she can’t resist a man who takes control of the relationship, both outside and inside of the bedroom.
She loves to travel internationally, and tries to plan a yearly trip abroad. She also loves to cook and bake, and—to the benefit of her friends—she loves to share. She also enjoys ceramics and being creative with her hands. She has a weakness for good (maybe bad) TV shows; she’s up-to-date on over 25 current shows, and no, that wasn’t a joke.
And it goes without saying, she loves books—they’re like old and dear friends who have always been there to make her laugh and make her cry.
The one thing she wished she had more of is time.

April 21, 2026This book is why women are afraid to report. Author, if you need proof, I’ll give it to you. Hopefully it makes you rethink the victim blaming, shaming, and ridicule that this book displays. Readers, if you enjoy the last 50 pages, strongly reevaluate your moral compass.

Whilst I enjoyed this book and loved Jessica's writing and her writing was perfect for this genre. I just am not a big fiction lit person and I had to put this book down for a couple of weeks to read something more fantastical, as I love the fantasy over real life.
However, in saying that the last 50% I sped read it, as it was engaging and allowed me to question where is Jessica going with this. A book about how no matter what life throws at you, the love for your child gets you through a lot of shit.
Appreciate Jessica sending this book to me and all I have written is my own thoughts not influenced by the author at all.
