In the End by Erika Ashby is the prequel to Moving Forward.  I really enjoyed reading this and felt that Jake had a story too tell.  Now if you haven't read Moving Forward this review my contain spoilers.  I fell in love with this series from the get go and Jake's story was a must read for me.Jake is a fighter and all around player.  That is until Jesika shows up to one of his fights with his cousin.  Once he lays eyes on her he decides that she will be his.  He wants to change for her and does for the most part.  He does have a inner struggle with himself.  I felt like he wanted to be his old self and no matter what he did that is who he would always be.  He was so afraid of losing Jesika that this inner struggle really tore him a part.  Then Jesika gets pregnant and he decides he's in it for the long haul.  He did love his family more then anything.  He would of done anything for them.  He was the best father and husband he could be.  I admired him for that.  It was very sad to think this man's life was cut short before he even started living.  I had a lot of compassion for him.  He wasn't a bad person at all.  I kind of wonder what if he didn't die before he could come clean with Jesika.  Would she of forgiven him?  I thinks she would of and they may of had a happily ever after.  Then it all comes down to what is meant to be.  Everything happens for a reason and some things you just can't control.If you are a fan of this series then you must read this.  Jake deserves a break and you may just see him in a different light.
