This was a nice book. there were times when I wanted to smack Vanessa upside the head and say what is wrong with you. I think even her brother and best friend did as well. Jackson dude you have the worst luck when it comes to timing with things. Seriously poor guy. I loved though how much he was into family and wanting to spend time with Vanessa's nephew. I hope his best friend Ray gets someone soon though I feel for him.This book picks up where guarded left off so you may want to read that first so you can get some of the nuances. Here Vanessa and Jackson are going strong until Vanessa's insecurities and ex husband comes into the picture. Jackson has a surprise from his ex occur and he assures Vanessa it will not change things but it puts the seeds of doubt in her. And those seeds grew rapid especially after her health issue and her ex husband's revelations. When she cuts Jackson off he is devastated and she turns to her ex for friendship. Poor Jackson there, I think this pushed him over and he does a stupid stupid thing. Pays the price too although Vanessa technically kicked him to the curb so she shouldn't have a qualm with him. Well he tries to explain she won't listen until her friend intervenes and even that didn't go so well. It isn't until she is attacked in front of her home and Jackson stays with her that Vanessa realizes his love and that she made a mistake. Takes you long enough girl.Meanwhile her brother and best friend are trying to deal with their past together. Her brother loves her but she won't forgive, it takes Vanessa's attack to get those to to finally come around. Can't wait for that backstory in a book though. Juicy for sure.So Jackson and Vanessa finally come together yay. This book is the journey of their growth as individuals and together. They learn that they need each other's strength and love to be whole. Jackson knew this way before Vanessa but Vanessa was too insecure to realize it at first.The sweetness of Jackson will have you smile. Great guy and the way that Vanessa's ex is becoming a better man is great to see as well.A fun  sweet read about love and acceptance.
