Review: Enjoyable story that left me feeling not quite satisfied

Contrary to what the blurb seems to suggest, the story is told completely from the POV of Jay, and they didn't enjoy days of romance. In fact, Damon's presence didn't even come close to taking up half the book. The `romance' aspect, and I use that term loosely, very much took a backseat to the rest of Jay's story.What saved this book for me was that Jay himself really is likeable. He's funny, easy going and makes sure the girls of the Beer Squad are safe and looked after at those sometimes rowdy promotional events.  His reactions were believable, if not completely logical (but that in itself is believable). Then there's Jackie, Jay's assistant and ex `trolley dolly' for the oldest and largest British airline. She is just all kinds of awesome. There was actually quite a bit of humour, especially the banter between Jay and Jackie and Jackie's one liners.This was an enjoyable story that, much like Damon with Jay on more than one occasion, ultimately left me feeling not quite satisfied. I really liked Jay, Jackie was awesome and I warmed to Damon right near the end when we finally got to know him a little. But the majority of the story he was a jackass. It would have been nice to have had more of a build up to Damon's redemption and Jay and Damon as a couple, even if that part was in an extended epilogue. It felt like the story ended just as we were getting a chance to know Damon and there was no opportunity to see them together. It could barely be called a HFN. The rest of the story I actually really liked. It never felt boring or uninteresting.Read the full review at Live Your Life, Buy The Book
