Again
Jaxon Daniels was supposed to be my forever.
I've loved him since I was thirteen years old, and like a foolish little girl, I believed that our love would carry us through everything. Every challenge. Every obstacle. Every heartbreak . But that was before I knew anything about pain and the challenge of overcoming crushing disappointment. Before I knew that loving someone doesn't always mean you get to have them, sometimes it means you have to let them go.
Now, thanks to my sister marrying his brother at a romantic resort in Mexico, he's back in my orbit. Making me question the choice I made all those years ago, reminding me of our history every time he looks me in the eye, touching me like I still belong to him, and demanding that I give him another chance.
In my life.
In my bed.
In my heart.
And as tempted as I am to say yes, there's still a part of me that can't forget what it was like to let him go, to live with our broken forever haunting me.
I survived losing him once, but I'm not so sure I can do it again.

This has got to be the best novella I’ve read, hands down.
I can’t begin to describe to you how good it was, how much of an impactful story it is.
This was some of the best storytelling for me. It was complex and emotional and I feel drained in the best way. I was invested through and through.
I’m off to dream about it.

Janil Seegars could write about my boring life and make it sound so beautiful. It’s something about the way she writes that GRIPS ME.
I felt all the love and tangle of emotions between Amina and Jax from page ONE.
The way Jax stays calling her “my wife” even though they’ve been divorced for two years oh my goddd

She’s still studying our surroundings, and I’m still looking at her.

an emotional, spicy & quick read. i’m not a big fan of miscommunication & that’s all this was but I had a fun time. I think I expected a lot going into it which is why i’m a lil bit let down.. but that’s on me.
the boy obsessed trope tho? yes pls!

"i miss you. do you ever miss me, mina? do you ever think about me and regret every second we've spent apart?"
he upgrades her ticket to first class because he wants to sit beside her. he stills calls her his wife even though they've been divorced for two years. he watched all her youtube videos so many times just to see her and hear her voice. he learns to use the same camera she uses just to feel close to her. also him kissing all her scars & bruises 🥹
"i was missing you. there was this emptiness in me. in my heart. in my life. and i wanted a way to feel close to you."
they were so cute & the angst was to die for until they started having sex. can u relax cus its never that serious. he was saying all these cute things and she just wants to fuck, got on my nerves. icl the smut was hitting but it got tiring asf real quick
why didn't they just have a conversation like the grown adults they are? why didn't she just tell him the reason why she wanted the divorce and why didn't he tell her that he didn't cheat ⁉️ he knew she thought he cheated & he's taking his sweet time telling her wtf
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
✦ "You make the end of our marriage sound so simple, so easy, like letting you go didn’t kill me. Like not knowing why I had to figure out how to live life without you hasn’t made every fucking day unbearable.”
✦ "maybe i just got good at living with the pain. maybe i had to be good at living with it because there's nothing in this world–no woman, no amount of money, or fucking drug–that could make me forget your absence for even a second."
✦ 'i wish i could climb underneath her skin. burrow into her heart, make her soul my home.'
✦ 'i want his forever eyes and his broken truths. his secret smiles and his inside jokes. all of it. everything we lost when i walked away from him.'
✦ "don't ask me to go back to a life without this, without you. i wont do it. i cant."

Oh. My. GOD!!
If I could rate this higher, I would.
JL Seegars needs to stop doing this to me. She simply can’t keep getting away with this🤧🗣
Jaxon and Amina have extensive history with one another. After years of marriage and happiness, things started to fall apart when Jax pulled away and the couple struggled with infertility treatment. Years after their divorce, they’re attending the same wedding in Mexico…
…and the feelings never died down.
When I tell you this man is OBSESSED with her ☝️ I mean it.
The chemistry 🗣 the SPICE 🗣 THE TENDERNESS 🗣🗣 THE EMOTIONS 🗣🗣🗣
WHEN I TELL YOU I UGLY CRIED, I MEAN IT !! WHEN I TELL YOU I AM SO DISTRAUGHT THAT THIS MAN IS FICTIONAL !!! GAH !!
I am left emotionally overwhelmed in the best way possible.

The concept was great, but the novella format may be too short. Did he use sex to fix their relationship? Maybe?
Why would he just let her walk away? And, why wait until he knew the truth? Wasn’t she important enough to understand the reason she left? None of this is explored enough.
She immediately believes he didn’t cheat physically, and forgives the emotional betrayal way to quickly.
2 there was too much sex and too little talking stars

⭐⭐⭐⭐
well, it was very emotional story, i didn't expect it to be that emotional. i was about to cry several times and that says a lot as i was reading this one on the train 🤧
jax daniels the man you are! all the things he said right from the first time he appeared in this book made me feel things 🥲 from the moment he switched amina's plane tickets to the first class to the moment he literally sacrificed his dream restaurant just to make her confident in them, in him. and the way he called her wife throughout this whole book even though the were divorced for two years. this world doesn't deserve jax daniels, honestly.
amina is kind of okay-ish, but she kept changing her mind every five minutes and it was kind of annoying for me. i know that she went through a lot to fulfill her dream, her chapters somehow felt a bit rushed. maybe it's how it should be because she was hesitant and her hesitation went in contrast with jax's certainty.
if only those two talked two years ago everything would've been fine, that mess that they left could've been avoided. i hate hate hate miscommunication tropes and i don't know why i'm picking those books that scream miscommunication, but i guess i just love to annoy myself 🙃
overall, it was an emotional, fast-paced read that i enjoyed. i haven't read anything of this author and, to be honest, i picked this novella just to get to know the author and i was pleasantly surprised with the writing! the writing style is beautiful and the amount of highlighted quotes for me in this short novella is making me pick up other books by j.l. seegars 👀
“Our love-our history, our future, and even this impossible present where she wont' acknowledge that she's mine- lives in a place where time doesn't exist. A boundless space where the brand she left on my heart has never faded. A ceaseless oasis that will continue to be even when this world is gone and our bodies are nothing but dust floating in the cosmos.”

I HATE men who go on having "sexual encounters" with other women after a divorce/break up when THEY are the one responsible for the said situation and "claim" to be remorseful and sorry about what they had done but instead of restraining themselves and trying to redeem their character immediately jump into the fuck-wagon. And they have the AUDACITY to claim that even if they have put their dick into multiple holes, their "loVe" and "hEaRt" belonged to the heroine. And when they want to "win" her back they expect her to be cool about their conquests. Because what's problem in getting your dick wet with other women when their oh so precious "love" belongs to you? You should be grateful woman! Because physical intimacy is just passable right? You should take their word and not actions for their faithfulness.
And he even has the fucking audacity to COMPARE the sex with other women and the heroine. Yeah am I supposed to feel good about that? Is it some kind of performance certificate? No thanks!
See I understand this type of sex-is-not-same-as-love culture (even though in my culture sex is never shared with a person you aren't having atleast a relationship or planning to have one) And I m totally fine with it in several books and contexts. But when you do a second chance book where the H is at fault and had to redeem himself, atleast have the decency to make his character redeemable and faithful. And that's when it's a freaking divorce and not just a break up. Fucking disgusting.
And authors write these kind of disgusting characters and try to cover it with this kind of ornamental pretentious crap-
Our love—our history, our future, and even this impossible present where she won’t acknowledge that she’s mine— lives in a place where time doesn’t exist. A boundless space where the brand she left on my heart has never faded. A ceaseless oasis that will continue to be even when this world is gone and our bodies are nothing but dust floating in the cosmos.
Eh...what? Oasis? Cosmos? What are you? A fucking Discovery channel?
It's like covering up rotten garbage with flower garlands. Talentless authors with a thesaurus on the table.
And another one-
As a chef, I’ll always have a certain appreciation for watching people enjoy food, especially if it’s something I’ve made, but watching Amina eat is like a religious experience. serotonin and dopamine injected straight into your veins and being able to feel every ounce of it flow into your body. Up into your brain until every pleasure center that exists there is dialed up to one hundred times its normal setting. Down into the pit of your stomach, setting off sparks of heat and languid need that refuse to be ignored or denied. That’s what seeing her mouth open to allow another morsel of food in does to me.
Ew . WTF? Go watch a mukbang video or something..what the hell is this? Fucking ridiculous.
And this crap goes on and on throughout the book. This author is such a wannabe I was thinking maybe she smoked weed before writing this BS.
Negative stars recommended but well...we don't have that luxury.

literally my only complaint is that it was toooo short 😭😭😭🥺
April 21, 2022
I was excited to read Again since I absolutely loved Restore Me. Again is a marriage redemption novella. The chemistry between Amina and Jax was good and the steamy scenes were definitely that. Sizzling and hot. For some reason I only felt their connection as physical. I needed a deeper and emotional connection between them which I sadly didn’t get. I think it has something to do with how it was written. I needed more dialogue. I needed these two people to communicate with one another since it was the reason they got a divorce in the first place. I felt there’s too much description, inner monologue and not enough of communication. Which is also why I feel that I didn’t believe in them getting back together. It felt rushed. The epilogue was cute although predictable. Overall a great steamy novella.

A quick and emotionally packed second chance read filled with my pet peeve…..miscommunication. I felt like the miscommunication could’ve been resolved in the begin but then this book wouldn’t exist 😔
Wished it was a little more angst though

i have such conflicted feelings about this book and i hate it because the writing is so beautiful and intimate and i love amina and jax’s relationship but some of the authors plot choices weren’t to my tastes
for example:
- this whole novella was basically one big miscommunication trope
- even looking past the final reason for their divorce (can these people not TALK after eight years of marraige??), as soon as jax found out he could’ve reached out to her?? and he sleeps with her without telling her ?? and amina was contemplating getting back together whilst still believing he cheated on her ?? and they don’t address it until the final part of the book ?? ugh
- this book explored fertility issues with such love and my heart broke for amina and jax. but this is all unravelled as soon as they have a miracle epilogue baby. and adoption wasn’t mentioned as an option ONCE
- i felt like the resolution was rushed to fit into the last 10% (see second bullet point)
however, there were things i absolutely loved that wouldv’e warranted a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for my issues with the plot:
- the writing style is perfect, i don’t know how seegars pours such emotion and intimacy into every single one of her sentences
- i loved the incorporation of both amina and jax’s jobs
- the marraige redeption trope does something to my heart
- the TENDERNESS in this relationship was unmatched and out of this world
- jax is obsessed with her and isn’t afraid to show it
this novella was packed with so much emotion it felt like a full book. i feel drained but complete at the same time. it would hurt too much to rate this below a 4 star so, despite my grievances, i’m going to have to go with that

J.L Seegars’ writing never disappoints!!
The angst and the grovel were written PERFECTION!!!
I love Jaxon Daniels so much <3
There is the miscommunication trope which was written good but it just me a little iffy.
Also if you enjoy a lot of smut, there is pages and pages of it in this novella.

For a novella, this was so well written! The storyline immediately tugged at my heart since it’s something that’s personal to me and definitely cried🥺
Amina and Jax are seriously perfect for each other and I will definitely be reading more by this author!

When I found out that this is a second chance story, I knew I had to read this. I mean, who doesn’t love a good redemption story? Let’s just say that Jaxon missed his wife and plans to do everything to get her back. And Amina? When I tell you baby puts on her track shoes and runs, I mean that. Literally, LOL!!! Jaxon is everything! He is passionate, romantic and determined. I loved that he realized his mistake and made the decision to pursue his wife with all he has. The love is obvious on both ends despite the two years of separation. I mean, the man still keeps up with her and knows all the men she’s been with. He’s obsessed. I feel the author wrote believable and relatable characters because I was able to feel the heartache, pain and resistance. My biggest issue came from the book being too wordy. For this to be a novella, I found myself losing interest and wanting to skim. It started to become exhausting. Even the sex scenes started to get tedious. Way too much inner thoughts and not enough execution. Also, I’m not a hater of the miscommunication trope but after eight years of marriage y’all can’t have a conversation? if man is trying to win back is love, why wait so long to try and plead your case? To clear up your name? The fact that they didn’t have the conversation about the demise of their marriage until 88% percent sent me crazy. Plus, the conversation with Cassidy should’ve been on page since she was supposedly a major factor in the demise of the marriage. I wanted so much more for the ending. I felt some of the dialogue in the book could’ve been shortened to give us the couple as a unit on page to lead up to the epilogue. Overall, due to the premise and believable characters, this could be a good story to read but it didn’t particularly work for me. This ARC was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

“I wish I could climb underneath her skin. Burrow into her heart, make her soul my home.”
Nothing is better than a second chance romance with a boy obsessed trope and this novella delivered. Cute, emotional and spicy with the perfect amount of angsty and heart-aching moments.
Jax calling Amina his wife even after their divorce, upgrading her ticket so he wants to just sit beside her, watched all her videos on youtube because he missed her, learned photography because Amina loved it, him making sure she never felt insecures about herself and kissed her scars and bruises! He definitely had me swooning.
What bothered me the most was that they never talked about the issue that led to their divorce for years. That was some big misscommunications and they avoided it like a plague until the very end.
The epilogue was the cutest! You all just go and read this sweet little marriage redemption novella!

CW: IVF plays a big part in the plot and inability to conceive, potential cheating
This was such a fun marriage redemption novella. I really enjoyed how the story unfolded the steamy scenes were great. I think it had a great balance of angst as well. We slowly learned the story from each perspective on what happened to break their marriage apart. Then we got to see them coming back together.

I wanted to try a novella from this author before reading Restore Me, and I’m glad I did! This was a well done second chance romance with a divorced couple.
First things first, the writing was the absolute standout for me. It was so emotional and evocative without being corny. The novella had a lot of grown folks energy, which is nice to read in a sea of immature romance MCs. JL managed to make me feel the pain and history between Amina and Jaxon in so few pages. They were both fully fleshed out characters in their own right too, which made me like them equally. Also, Cassidy can choke.
Their whole divorce hinged on miscommunication...which was realistic in the story but also kinda frustrating. Though Jaxon was generally respectful of Amina’s wishes, there were a few boundary-pushing moments that didn’t totally sit right with me. A lot of “I know you want this” moments, which can work in the right context but can also feel…slightly icky? Idk.
This confirmed that I need to read more from JL Seegars, and I’m excited to experience more of her writing

This book is so DISCOMBOBULATED!
The characters and their actions do not line up at all!
They’re divorced for LESS THAN 2 YEARS and yet the both managed to move on sexually with (many) partners. It just doesn’t line up with how obsessed he was with her. They were literally married for eight years and together since they were 13 only to get divorced over a miscommunication and spend the separation (again, less than two years) sleeping with other people. Dumb and dumber deserve each other.

Wow what a well written novella. I love how JL Seegars was able to put so much emotion and spice in such a short amount of pages. Also Jaxon being obsessed with Amina was EVERYTHING!!!
Only reason this wasn’t a 5⭐️ is because i’m not a big fan of the miscommunication trope.

I loved this book for just as many reasons I hated it lol. Well not hated but it definitely frustrated me, especially after the moments of what tore them apart were revealed. What an emotional ride on love, passion, hurt, pain and desperation. I’m a sucker for a man that will do anything to right his wrong and make the love he has for a woman known. He didn’t shy away from letting her know that he f$&@‘d up and that he would do whatever it took to get her back.
What I loved -
Jax had his mind made up that he was not leaving Tulum without his wife and he made every effort possible to ensure it happened.
Jax was willing and did walk away from everything in his past that he knew would bring Amina hurt if they were able to truly move forward. The growth from them individually was clearly evident.
I’m glad there wasn’t a back and forth of emotions and what each of them wanted. Even throughout the doubt that Amina had about letting Jax back into her heart she was clear with the fact that she still wanted him as well and had no problem vocalizing it.
What I didn’t like -
How do y’all let a whole BIRD come between y’all marriage so easily. When Amina saw Cassidy leaving his office she should have made a WHOLE scene at that very moment. Then she would have know her husbands betrayal wasn’t betrayal at all. Cassidy still deserves to be chin checked all these years later.
When Amina sent Jax the divorce papers why would you not fight for 20 whole years of friendship and marriage?!? You just sign them and off you both go on your merry little separate ways. 🗣Make it make sense.
IVF is a tough situation to navigate through and I think there should be therapy done throughout that process because in cases like this where it’s not successful and can break you down to your core, someone should be there to help both parents navigate through that emotional hurt. Leaving it to be done between the two of them can end up in even more heartbreak and misunderstood words and feelings.
Through it all though I loved the way the story was written and how they worked though the heartbreak that ultimately brought them back together. J.L. Seegers has done it “again” pun intended. Bravo!
