WORTH MENTIONING: Readers of the prior books will be aware that Jax has attempted suicide (off page) and this book addresses, among other things, his depression and other emotional and mental challenges he faces.ĬONNECTED BOOKS: FALL is the third book in the VIP series. That makes this book really hot because of the delayed gratification and when things progress here, there is definitely caring and emotion involved. Two people learning one another, building a relationship based upon friendship and caring. I love books where the relationship is allowed time to develop. We know John’s story immediately, but Stella’s story is hidden in the beginning and only begins to reveal itself through John and Stella’s relationship. She has strength but also is incredibly vulnerable. Her internal life and pain compel her to keep a distance for those who would care for her. Stella is a woman who everyone likes, but no one really knows. The unveiling of these characters kept me fascinated by their story. The smiles, the confidence, the concern for others hides dark thoughts and deep insecurities and hurt. I found him generally sweet and funny.īoth John and Stella have masks on. I found his character sympathetic even as he is sometimes a jerk. I thought that this book depicted his depression in a way that really gave me insight into how this issue can effect ones life. John aka Jax is a man dealing with his mental health issues. The focus is on the characters and the plot only serves to highlight and raise issues between the characters - which is my favorite kind of romance. I really enjoyed this because it allowed depth to their romance. The story is sexy because these two have time and space to get to know one another. OPINION: In this book, a lot of time is spent on John and Stella learning about one another. He also happens to be Jax Blackwood - one of the famous, and perhaps the most infamous, members of a legendary rock band. Of course, it turns out that the guy lives next door to the penthouse where she is working her temporary pet sitting job. Their competition over it is won by Stella who kisses the guy. THE STORY: While shopping for groceries, Stella Grey runs into a handsome guy who is taking the last package of her favorite ice cream from the freezer at the store. These characters are deeply engaged in their relationship which allows readers to get to know their weaknesses and their strengths. These two characters journey was well paced and I especially enjoyed the slow burn aspect of the story. Published by Plain Jane on October 23, 2018įINAL DECISION: Incredibly satisfying book.
