I became an instant fan of Jade C. Jamison after reading Bullet which is still one of my absolute favorite books.  I was elated when I heard that Be Careful What You Wish For would be the start of a brand new series and once I read the blurb, I was hooked.  The premise is completely unique and the characters are likeable and relatable despite the circumstances.Have you ever felt an undeniable cosmic connection with someone? If so did that someone perhaps turn out to be married? Did the chance meeting with that special someone maybe also happen to have been set up by that someone’s wife in an attempt to lure him into cheating? So this type of thing certainly doesn’t happen every day, but it is the unbelievable story of how Jessica met the love of her life.  And as you can imagine this makes for a very difficult situation and relationship filled with obstacles, insecurities, and doubts begging the question, once a cheater always a cheater?What Jade C. Jamison never fails to do so well is create characters that you can’t help but like even when it seems unlikely or you really don’t want to.  Cheating is a very controversial subject.  One that if you choose to write about, you have a very long and hard uphill battle to fight in order to first even convince some readers to give it a try and of course to then get those readers to not automatically condemn your characters and to give the book a fair shot.  Do I agree with what happened? No.  Do I feel that under the circumstances the events that transpired were justified or even okay? Still no.  But is it easy for me to see how things could happen the way that they did?  Sure.  Is it easy to believe that these two characters were perhaps meant to be together and the deplorable circumstances of their meeting was just an unfortunate twist of fate?  Definitely.  Should either one of these characters have done something different in this situation?  Absolutely.  All that being said, you may not like, approve, or even understand cheating but the characters themselves are so good, caring, and kind, their indiscretion cannot entirely impede forming an attachment to them.Overall Be Careful What You Wish For is an entirely different love story than those many of us are used to which makes it distinctive and intriguing.  This one may be all about the relationship but it definitely has Jade C. Jamison’s usual metal edge which only appears to be becoming a much more fundamental part of the story as the series continues.  I can’t wait to see what happens next in this unusual love story.
