“One More Time: Nicki Sosebee #5” by Jade C. Jamison5 out of 5 starsNicki’s life is looking up!  She’s back with Jesse and it looks like smooth sailing for them!  The men in her life have worked things out and Nicki’s once again on “friendly ground” with Sean.  At the newspaper, she’s gaining more recognition and Neal is regularly giving her assignments.  All in all, things are looking pretty good for our girl…until one story leads her down a path that angers the wrong people and threatens the happy life she’s built!The plight of the homeless is an issue that we should all beware of, regardless of the size of the area we live in.  I appreciate Jamison’s efforts to shine a light on this subject and Nicki’s zeal in searching for solutions.  I like seeing her broaden her thought process beyond what is going on in the bubble she lives in.  Sometimes it is easy to just focus on what is immediately around us and Jamison continues to grow Nicki by allowing her to explore past all of that.  It adds to the depth and realness of the character.The relationship between Nicki and Jesse continues to be a complicated one.  I’m rooting for Jesse to break down her walls and convince her that they belong together for more than just the “right now”.  I love that he wears his heart on his sleeve and never plays hard to get with her.  There are times I want to pop Nicki on the head and yell at her not to sabotage what she has with him.  Unfortunately, she has to grow up at her own pace and we can only hope that she figures things out before it’s too late.I continue to be frustrated with Sean.  He wants Nicki, then he doesn’t, then he does, then he doesn’t again.  I can understand him being a little gun shy after their encounter years ago…but enough is enough.  I want him to make a decision and stick with it, otherwise he just seems selfish.  I’m hoping at some point that we get a little more back story with Sean that will explain his reticence more.  Despite my frustration or maybe because of it, I can’t turn the pages fast enough.Jamison definitely has a knack for writing her characters as realistically as she can.  We all struggle with certain issues in our lives and the cast of this series is no exception.  She has pulled me in and each book offers me another glimpse into the lives of this group. I have already bought all the books that are out and I immediately pick the next one up as soon as I finish one.  I can’t recommend Jamison’s writing enough.  She has easily become one of my favorite authors!*I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*Shannon, My Secret Book Spot
