4 Stars!


This was another great story by Kristy Love. I really enjoyed both books from this series. We got to meet Jax from The Fragile Fall, book 1. I really liked Jax from that book and I continued to fall in love with him in this story. I felt bad for the life and the struggles that Jax was living with. He has so much on his shoulders with school, work, and having to take care of his mom. Once again this was an emotional read that brought tears to my eyes. Jax was pulled in so many different directions between everything going on in his life that he started to turn to alcohol to get some kind of relief. The more he drank, the more he started to lose sight of everyday life including his responsibilities with work and school. Little by little, Jax's life started to unravel.


One day when Jax is meeting up with his sister for lunch, he comes across Cassie as his waitress. From the first day Jax meets Cassie, he can't stop thinking about her. He then makes arrangements with his sister to meet for lunch again at the same restaurant in hopes to see Cassie again. Jax decides to leave his number on his receipt in hopes that Cassie will call him. When Cassie sees Jax, she instantly feels a connection with him. She knows there's something about him and when she notices his number on the receipt, she feels excited yet nervous. Cassie has a busy life and isn't sure if she is ready to meet anyone new. After much thought, Cassie decides to give Jax a call. Their relationship starts out really slow. Since both are really busy with life, they begin their relationship out as friends. The more they hang out the closer they get. However, Cassie has something she needs to tell Jax that may change everything.


The emotions that their relationship brought out of me were truly amazing. One minute I was smiling and laughing and the next, I was looking for my box of tissues. Their relationship was not easy and they had many obstacles that they had to go through, but with everything that happened from start to finish, I have no doubt that they were meant to be. I am really looking forward to reading Cassie's sister, Roxie's story! I loved her in this story, and one of my favorite parts was when she told Cassie... "Take your head out of your ass, wash the shit off, and call him". I could not stop laughing and I can't wait to read more about her as well as all the other characters from this series!!
