This is new adult romance, suspense book. This is the second book in the Seasons of Love series. This book promotes no drinking and driving... I agree wholeheartedly, thanks Melanie! This book is for adults only due to the steamy scenes. This book picks up where A Valentine's Surprise leaves off, but it is detailed enough you will not be lost if you have not read the previous book, but I advise you to read it! This book is about Jenny, the younger sister Adam raised after the passing of their parents. She is all grown up, independent, and I admire her strength. I love her relationship with her brother. I appreciate Jake's devotion to Adam and how he wants to be appreciated for himself. Not your usual love story... true love always finds a way... captivated from the first page... I may have a new book boyfriend.This story is about Jenny Jennings, college student, working hard for her future, independent woman. Who has her eyes set on Jake. Yes she still has a crush on him, ok maybe more than a crush. She is not his partners "little" sister anymore. When she thinks things are taking a turn in the right direction, Jake does the unimaginable. He hurt her feelings, humiliated her but never again. She has a full plate and she is determined not to allow Jake to distract her anymore. Little does she know what danger is hidden in plain sight. Will fate step in before it's too late.Jake Matthews is a cop, his partner is the older brother of his secret crush Jenny. He can not allow his feeling due to his respect for Adam. Jake has a past that he has hidden from everyone, this information could cost him everything he has worked so hard for. Upon accident he finds out Jenny's true feelings and is determined to be with her (with permission from Adam of course) but he has hurt her. Can he makes amends? Trouble is coming for Jenny, but Jake will do anything to keep her safe, including sharing his secret.favorite passages:"She should have kicked him in the balls, before fleeing from Adam's hospital room.""Jenny opted to walk, because she would never drink and drive, and her best friends respected her wishes.""She never understood what caused someone to get liquored up, and then get behind the wheel of a car. The damage done was irreparable. She was forced to live with it every day of her life. There wasn't a day that passed that she didn't think about her parents, and the empty space that remained where the should still be." <3"Thanks to the memories of her parents, she also knew what real love could be, what it should be""She was his best-friend's little sister, but is didn't seem to matter.""She would do anything to have them in her life again.""She tried not to drool, honestly, she did.
