Successful Texas lawyer, Reade Walker,
curses that damn song every time it plays, all too aware of the irony of its
lyrics. After all, he has been secretly and painfully enamored with Jesse's
girl, Gwen, for nearly a decade. It was love at first sight for him, but sadly
she's not his girl. She belongs to the one man who betrayed him and knows
Reade's hidden family secret. Yet, Reade can't seem to love anyone except the
one woman he can't have. Or can he make her mine?
When Gwen Clark's senator husband runs off with his intern
and all their money, the ensuing scandal turns her life upside down. Deserted,
penniless, and desperate to provide for her six-year-old daughter, Gwen has no
one to turn to but Reade Walker. The one man her heart desperately wants, but
her pride dreads having to ask for help. Despite welcoming them into his home,
it seems like Reade can barely stand being in the same room with her anymore,
let alone under the same roof - in the same bedroom. But Gwen is determined to
get her life back on track. It is past time to rediscover her own dreams...if
only she can keep her aching heart from breaking all over again.

Jesse's Girl was an enjoyable novella. Gwen and Reade have loved each other for a long time, but Gwen has been married to Read's best friend. When Gwen's husband takes all of their money and leaves the country with his mistress, Gwen must turn to Reade for help.
The audiobook was very well done. It's only about 31/2 hours long. Even though it is short, it's got a pretty slow burn romance. I really liked that aspect as it's unusual to find in a short story. I enjoyed the couple. They had great banter and excellent chemistry. I only wish that the book was a little longer or had an epilogue. I definitely recommend this one if you are in the mood for a short and sweet friends to lovers romance.

Thanks so much for the listen and review!
ReplyDeleteI was considering an epilogue, but I'm hoping to have Gwen and Reade appear in a future story for Danielle and Hunter, who were also burned by Jesse's selfish ways. :)
Awesome! I look forward to reading it!
