Do you believe in second chances? I want to, so badly… Four years ago, Jaxon Foster broke my heart. Before he was a swaggering all-star footballer in the UK, he was my stepbrother… and my first love.
Before I walked in on him kissing one of my friends, that is.
One moment, and my burning passion turned to bitter ash. I walked away, and I haven’t spoken a word to him since… until now.
My boss needs to recruit talented, drool-worthy superstar Jaxon to play in the US – and of course I’m the one to do it. The second Jaxon is back in my life, he makes it clear that he wants back in my bed, too.
A few simple touches, a few glasses of wine, a few dirty words whispered in my ear… Everything I ever felt for Jaxon comes flooding back, and I can’t resist him.
Our passion catches and spreads like wildfire, but the weight of Jaxon’s secrets threatens to burn us both alive. Will Jaxon and I learn from our mistakes, or will we become just another tragic love story?
Score is a standalone novel with a HEA and no cliffhanger.
Jessica Ashe is a twenty-six year old lawyer, who has turned her hand to her real passion--writing about alpha males and bad boys. She's likely living vicariously through the heroines in her book until she finds an alpha male of her own.
First, just believing the h could be admitted, much less attend Harvard, hours of uncontrollable laughter right there...but a "Social Studies" major from Harvard? If you don't see the issue there, then this is the book for you.
And if you're referring to it as Harvard "University" ~ I guaran-fucking-tee you're not a fucking graduate.
This was so ridiculous.
The secret Jaxon was hiding. I can't even start with the implausibly of his issue and career. He'd never have kept that shit hidden.
And the whole bit with the h's professor...I call bullshit. At that level of academia, if she'd communicated her issue to the professor's immediate supervisors and departmental heads, her work would have been reviewed regardless of what happened to the professor and her accusation. If for no other reason than she apparently had a 4.0 (((at Harvard)))...yeah, don't get me started on that again.
And the identity of the professor and the H's reaction...I almost DNF'd right there.
The writing... #icanteven
And 3 yrs to complete a PhD from Wharton...nearly as funny as her going to Harvard.
No OW after the H/h reunite. ^^^2 stars for that alone^^^
Книгата привлече вниманието ми още от първите страници. Не е такава, която да прочетеш и след няколко дни да забравиш. В нея има и любов и драма и над какво да се замислиш. С удоволствие бих чела книгите на Джесика Еш и на родния си език.
Jennifer heart was broken by Jaxon years earlier. She had caught him kissing her best friend, after standing her up on a date. Yea they were step siblings. But not enough for the ick factor. She went on to university and finally graduated. Now her boss wants him on his team. Oh yea he is a soccer champ. She wants nothing to do with him. Secrets had been kept from her since then. Will he finally tell her all? Jessica Ashe kept me interested by not revealing all till the last bit. There are three more stories after that were just as good.
I loved the book. Jennifer is a strong woman who has emotional scars from the past that she won't let control her. Jaxon is a famous soccer player hiding his own demons. They are step-siblings that fell in love. The story takes you through the heartache and pain that will eventually lead to an amazing HEA. The writing is good and the character development was spot on. Jessica Ashe is becoming one of my favorites in this genre.
I realize I'm late to this step-sibling genre, but I've read a few that I've enjoyed. This is one of them. Not to give too much of the plot away but Jaxon's illness was tastefully written without going into too much detail. It made his and Jennifer's struggle to be together that much more worthwhile.
This was my first book from Jessica Ashe that I read and I loved it. Anything that Jessica Ashe writes I will read. She has a way of writing a book that is different everytime and just sucks you in until you finished it.
Honestly I don't know what to rate this book and I only had it half way because it made me cringe every second. The whole plot was rather dumb and I just can't bear to read till the end.
