I loved Finding Dandelion! It follows the lives of Jax Avery, a rich, sexy athlete that loves his meaningless sex with countless beautiful women, but with a sweet side, he doesn't let many see. It also follows Dani Hart, a sweet girl next door that wants to be wild and have fun in the hopes of finding out what she really wants out of her life. She bumps into Jax a few times, and they hook up for a brief moment.A few weeks later, she runs into him, and is crushed to learn that not only is he her roommate’s very off-limits brother, but also, he has no memory of her. It was at this point in the story that not only did I start to care for Jax and Dani, but their whole group of friends. Jax has a soft spot for his twin sister and in helping his neighbor. Dani has the greatest best friend ever in Travis, and her bond and the fun she has with her roommates is fun to read.I know I am reading a great book when I get swept away by a moment or a line in the story one minute, and want to smack some sense into the characters the next. That is when I know a book is good. There were so many heartbreaking points in the story, which makes a great New Adult but what I also love was even with some steamy scenes mixed in, Jax and Dani’s story was about their love for each other and how in the end they couldn’t fight it no matter what obstacle was in their way.And there were plenty! Jax’s controlling nut case of a mother, the secrets they both kept from each other, and insecurities they both had about relationships.This is the first book I read from Lex Martin, but it will not be the last!REVIEWED BY KELLY ARLIA FOR SUMMER'S BOOK BLOG
