Captivating.  That’s the word that came to mind when I sat down to write this review - I had the immense pleasure of receiving an early copy of this book, and being a first time Lex Martin reader..I have to say I was unsure of what to expect.  I jumped in with both feet and was not disappointed...more than that - I fell in love.  Lex Martin, to borrow a line from you - you’re a category 5 hurricane of an author in my book.  Just effing phenomenal writing!  I devoured this book, consumed it, lived and breathed it, completely adored it.  It’s easy in my top 10 faves of the year.Finding Dandelion swept me away on a tidal wave of emotions - I laughed out loud, I cried, I kicked and screamed and stomped my foot like an impatient child and most importantly, I met a new book boyfriend ;)  Jax Avery ladies...padlock your panties - he’s coming for them and  he’s got the keys that’ll rip those suckers clean off.Dani Hart is my new book best friend - she’s a kind hearted, loving girl...with a side of sassiness that was begging to be released.  I loved how easy going and laid back she was...she was that kickass chick that loves sports and could chill with the guys watching the game just as easy as she spent time with her girlfriends.  After suffering a humiliating breakup, she isn’t looking to start anything new with anyone else.  However, with the help of her brilliant best friend Travis, she begins to loosen up and put herself out there again.  I mean really, her breakup with Reid was no big loss, so I was thrilled when she finally let her guard down again.  The guy “couldn’t find her c**t if it had a neon sign and balloons attached to it.”  Loved that line - a bang on description for the douche that broke her heart.Jax Avery.  Rich, gorgeously sexy, cocky in that alpha way that I love, and a star soccer player on his way to turn pro.  That’s not the only kind of player he is though, he also goes through the ladies faster than I can suck back my Monday morning coffee (which is pretty damn quick!).  He lives his life with no regrets and is satisfied with his love life just the way it is.These two meet on a quick passerby on the street and then again in a nightclub - on a night when Dani has decided to throw caution to the wind and let her inner devil come out to play.  The result?  An intensely hot hookup (almost) with our resident sexy boy - Jax.  That scene is deliciously hot!  Much to Dani’s horror, when they meet again - Jax has no recollection of who she is or of their intimate time together.  To her, why would he remember her?  He dates beautiful models and runs in a different circle.  To Jax, she is so familiar, but he’s suffering the effects of a concussion and just can’t quite remember her...their chemistry and attraction is undeniable - yet the two of them avoid each other at all costs (insert foot stomping and cursing here).Travis and Clementine play huge roles in this book as well.  I loved how versatile Clem’s character is - she was snarky and fierce one second and loving and protective the next.  I will definitely be picking up a copy of Dearest Clementine to read more about her story.  Travis - he kept me laughing all throughout the book, he was always there for Dani and I hope to see more of him in any future releases.Months after their disastrous hookup, Dani and Jax crash into each other again.  Literally.  Thus begins their love story...I thought their storyline was original and I enjoyed learning the depths of Jax’s character.  He’s more than just a rich playboy - and I was glad that Lex let us discover the many sides of him as we watched him fall in love.These two, I’ve never met a more stubborn pair!  Their insecurities are their worst enemy and it is a wonder all the way to the end of what their outcome will be.  Is Dani the girl to show Jax that love is real and can be more than just amazing hookups?  Will Jax let his past ruin his future?  You know what you need to do to find out…Through this book, you will laugh, cry and fall in love.  You’ll learn just how brave Dani really is.  You will applaud at a funeral and bawl like a baby while doing it.  Why?  Its simple, this book is effing incredible.xo Cassiadeliciouslywickedbooks.com
