Be Careful What You Wish For is Book #20 that I've completed reading by Jade Jamison. This originally was a short story from her Quickies book that she later developed into a full book. I am happy to report that Jade hit it out of the ballpark with this one. Kage is simply an endearing sweetheart with the sexy bad boy image to go along with it. I am drawn to her bad boy type characters that are sweet and loving to their women. Kage seriously gives Brad Payne her Bullet and Fully Automatic character a run for his money in the swoon dept. Brad is my #1 BBF but dang it, Kage is pretty close to knocking him off that pedestal.Jade has taken a subject that some readers may find offensive or not care to read about and she has shed light on the fact that there are unhappy situations in a marriage out there and unfortunately sometimes a person is drawn to another so deeply they just have no choice but to follow their heart. Kage and Jessica were thrown together by his wife and it backfired on her but also put seeds of doubt into Jessica's trust in Kage. Jade shed light on the fact that Kage knew in the back of his mind his marriage was long over and he was staying for selfless reasons. No one should continue in a relationship where both parties aren't working at it together. In my opinion Kage and Jessica's meeting was destiny and it was perpetrated by hos wife, so she got what she paid for. I liked that Jade told the story in Jessica's POV because you felt her insecurities and understood her doubts and knew why they were deep seated as such because of how they begun. I am not condoning cheating but the situation in Kages marriage was less than ideal to call it a real marriage considering how manipulative Fay was from the beginning.I am giving this 5 solid stars because of the subject matter and how tastefully written it was, the angst felt by Jessica and the distrust brought on by her own fears was conveyed thoroughly through the story and the vulnerability that both Kage and Jessica showed was outstanding.
