Review
Drama
and emotionally packed! This was a great read with great characters.
Jo
has terrible experiences when it comes to relationships. She is convinced that
she will never be able to let another man in because it always ends with her
getting hurt. With a new life in New York, she falls hard and fast for a co-star,
Blake Mackenzie. But, is she brave enough to face her fears and let him in? Can
she truly open her heart and reveal her past?
Blake
Mackenzie didn’t do relationships. He never found one that was worthy until he
sets his eyes on Jo Summers. A terrible mistake has her pushing him away and
running at every turn. Will he be able to tear down her walls and show her that
she can have love and happiness without pain?
This was a bit of an emotional
read. Jo has been through a lot in the past and is weary about letting her
walls down. She is constantly waiting for something to go horribly wrong. She
is a firm believer that happiness is always followed by pain. She is a bit of a
drama queen and overreacts and allows her jealousy to cloud her judgment at times.
However, Blake is madly in love and is willing
to do anything to prove to her that what they have is special. He is determined
to show her that he can give her everything she’s always wanted. I really liked
Blake. His character was not only sexy and masculine but sensitive and caring.
He is not afraid to express his love for Jo.
I wasn’t quite fond of Jo. I found
her to be a little to overly dramatic and needy. But she grew on me the more
you read. You can understand her reservations and her fear of being hurt again.
This story had some great supporting characters. Casey, Jo’s best friend, is
funny, witty, outgoing and is a really great friend. Alex, Blake’s best friend,
I instantly liked especially when he stormed in and shed some light onto Jo and
giving her shit for hurting his best friend. I absolutely loved Jo’s mom. She
didn’t hold back and told Jo when she was being ridiculous. Cooper won me over
in the very beginning because he was another great support system for Jo when
she needed it. But then he became questionable and mysterious when he crosses a huge boundary.
I really liked the family dynamic.
They had such a great bond with each other. I loved the passion and chemistry
between Jo and Blake. They definitely couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
A great story with a great ending!!
