***** I Love Story Time was gifted an ARC copy in exchange of an honest review *****


4.5 Stars!!!


In the blurb it states...."This book will emotionally wreck you!! Do not read at work or in a crowd of people unless you're okay with them watching you ugly cry. Well...I didn't listen, and what did I do? I read at work and cried!! There were so many times that I had to put my kindle down to catch myself from having a full blown ugly cry. Then once I picked it back up and continued reading, I had to put it back down again! This book, and books like this, always get to me. I just can't take it anymore! I need to stick to happy books! Haha, ya right! This story was so good. The heartache that Brittan went through and the struggles she faced trying to move on were heart breaking. I know this book is not
true but the topic is one that I'm sure many people go through.

Even though Cane was not in the book for a very long time, I can feel how important they were to one another. The moments that they shared were so cute. The things he told her were so sweet. The love they shared was so strong. I can only imagine how tough it was for Brittan to lose her first love. I can also understand how difficult it could be for her to move forward. The talks she had with Cane after he passed made me ball, totally ugly cry moments.....


"I'm afraid that if I allow myself to love again, I'll forget about you."


8 years later Brittan is living her dreams the way Cane asked her to as a last request, and is now the lead singer in one of the top Rock and Roll bands. She is scheduled to go on tour and the last thing she expected was to come across Jordan Valentine, the lead guitarist for her opening band. For 8 years Brittan hasn't felt her heart flutter until now. Since Cane, Jordan is the only person that has got her to feel any emotion other then sadness. Right away, Jordan can tell that Brittan is struggling with something and wants nothing more then to be there for her, and to help her get to a better place....


"To me, Brittan, you are the most captivating women I've ever met. The second I saw you dancing tonight; I couldn't take my eyes off you, no matter how hard I tried. You don't see it, but you are beautiful and worth someone taking the time to see the real you. Not the facade you put on for the outside world."


At first, Brittan does what she can to keep Jordan at a distance and fights the way he makes her feel. As time goes by it gets harder for her to hold her feelings back and eventually she starts letting herself feel with out any guilt. Brittan knows deep down that Cane would want her to love and to be loved again. So she finally admits that she wants more with Jordan.

Their relationship is really cute. The way they are with each other and the way they support each other is special. I loved Jordan. He seriously is the nicest guy and the support he gives Brittan when it comes to Cane is unreal. He is not only sweet, but he is...sexy-as-sin-with-fuck-me-blue-eyes and a dirty mouth! Which, I always love! I just want him to ask me.....


                                                              "Favorite song, baby?"


HaHaHa.. love it!

Seriously a great book! Loved how it showed parts of Brittan and Canes lives, plus the outcome of Brittan and Jordan's life together. Loved that Brittan was finally able to let her self be loved again and how the Fourth of July came around full circle! I would definitely recommend this book to someone looking for a good emotional read with a little edge to it. Looking forward to reading more books by Danielle Jamie! So for now, all I can say is......


                                                               ..."I'll see you soon."

EXCERPT 

 
As tears begin to fall again, I laugh nervously, “Who are you and what did you do with the cocky asshole I met in Miami? He was easier to hate.”

A killer grin spreads across Jordon’s face, as his eyes twinkle in the lights above us. They are hypnotizing and causing me to fall deeper under his spell, “Ahh, so you admit my irresistible rock god looks and my magic fingers are winning you over?”

The thought of what those fingers have done to me sends a shiver of desire coursing through my body and stopping between my thighs, only to intensify.

He teasingly slides his fingers ever so slowly down my arm, causing goose bumps to blanket every inch of me.

Trying to act like he isn’t getting to me, I toss my head back and purse my lips, “I never said that…I just said I don’t hate you as much as I did a few weeks ago.”

Pinning me on my back, Jordon stares down at me with a glimmer of desire in his eyes that takes my breath away. His lips curl up into a cocky grin, “Oh, baby. There’s no denying it, you like me. I can see it in those gorgeous brown eyes of yours.” Leaning down he presses a soft kiss to the tip of my nose causing me to suck in a sharp breath of air. Pulling back he watches me, as he waits for me to try and deny it some more.

He gets a rise out of our back and forth bantering, but I’m going to surprise him by admitting what he already knows to be true. He deserves a little ego boost after the fantastic day he’s given me.

“Okay…maybe a little.” I say breathlessly, as my chest rises and falls at a rapid pace. I melt under Jordon’s intense gaze.

“Holy shit! She finally admits it! She likes me!” Jordon shouts, shooting up and raising his hands in the air.
