Can theirrelationship survive or was it doomed from the start?My Thoughts:This was one of the first books I have read from Jade C. Jamison so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from it. Then to top it off the book involves the ever dreaded aspect of CHEATING. Now, if you have been following my reviews you know that cheating doesn't make a book a DNR for me. Reading for me isn't just about happily ever afters and fairy tale's come to life. I like reading about real things, and unfortunately cheating is REAL. I know we might not like it but people cheat every day. No, I don't agree with cheating I think that its disrespectful to the other person in the relationship. That doesn't matter when I read though. All that matters to me is that the author uses these f'd up situations to bring out emotion in me as the reader. If the author can make me angry, sad, happy, or whatever emotion it may happen to be, then they have done a good job. Keep that in mind as you read my review.In Be Careful What You Wish For we meet Jessica. Jessica has had a pretty tough time so far in life. She has had to grow up too fast and be very independent. She has taken the advice of a school teacher she had to pursue an education in English. She is in school for her master's and is working hard to achieve her goal. She is rooming with a two of her friends and working at a Bar to pay the bills. She has recently had a bad break up and is trying to keep to herself until she finishes school.Things are going fine until her car breaks down and she doesn't know how she is going to pay to have it fixed. That's when SHE walks into the bar and into Jessica's life. That night Jessica's life will forever change all for $800.00.Kage has also had a rough go of it so far in life, but he always looks on the bright side of life. He always knows how to find the silver lining. He is working at the local steel mill by day and is the lead singer in a metal band by night. He loves what he does, but wouldn't mind being a rock star full time. He is inspired by a man that he works with and lives his life true to those inspirations."Son, men aren't made. They're forged."What happens when both Kage and Jessica's lives lead them to each other?"All I know is I feel alive with you. I feel hope. I want to see what tomorrow will bring, and it's not just me hanging onto my dreams. That used to be how I made it through. They're still there, yeah, but I feel something inside me even without grabbing onto the dream."Will they help find each others silver lining?"The one thing I learned a long time ago- no one can ever take who you are away from you. Oh, and no matter how s***ty things look tonight, they always, always look better in the morning."Overall I really enjoyed this book. I felt connected to the characters and their emotions. Some of the situations were difficult to read about, but they honest and real. Every action was explained and you understand why certain things happened. If you are looking for a little angst with you dinner this is the right book for you. :)
