Review
First off I have to say, I didn’t like how selfish Lee was with Jax. She kept calling and texting him. Telling the guy how much she missed him. How she’s never gone a day without speaking with him that it was how hard for her, while she knew too well the reason he left town, the reason he had to distance himself from her. If she really was a good friend to Jackson, she would’ve given the guy the space he needed to get over her, even if that hurt her. Because being in touch with Jax would hurt him so much more. That’s so obvious! You’ve chosen Chase, Lee, you can’t have it all!!
Now about Jax and Blakely. I didn’t feel the chemistry there as I didn’t like Blakely. I love Jax to pieces, always thought he was a better choice for Lee, but the heart wants what it wants. I could understand Lee but Jax is still my favorite character and I have never pictured him with someone like Blake. She just didn’t seem right for Jax. They just don’t match, idk… not the best book in the series for sure.

Blurb
Jackson Rhoades has a perfect smile and a broken heart. When he gets offered his dream job in Hollywood, he packs up his shattered pieces and leaves Sugarlake for good.
He thought he was hired to restore classic cars, but instead his new boss tasks Jackson with keeping an eye on his unruly nineteen-year-old daughter.
Jackson agrees reluctantly, not realizing doing so will change his life forever.
Blakely Donahue is one of the biggest influencers in North America. She’s followed by millions, but has never felt more alone. Obsessed with counting calories and drowning under the pressure of perfection, she’s barely holding herself together. When her father’s new employee starts hanging around, Blakely can’t help but feel a pull.
Jackson is nine years older and entirely off-limits, but he’s the first person to look beyond the surface and see Blakely for who she truly is. Before either of them can stop it, they’re crossing boundaries and breaking all the rules.
They know better than to get too close, but for some reason, neither can stay away.
Even if it means destruction for them both.
