Fire In You: Volume Six (Wait for You, #6)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout and J. Lynn

From the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be With Me, comes a richly moving story about heartbreak and guilt, second chances and, most of all, hope...

Six years ago, Jillian Lima's whole world was destroyed. The same night her childhood love Brock Mitchell broke her heart, her life was irrevocably altered by a stranger with a gun. After years spent slowly rebuilding the shattered pieces of her life, Jillian is finally ready to stop existing in a past full of pain and regret and is determined to start living. The one thing she never expected was the impossibly handsome Brock walking back into her life...

Brock can't believe that the breathtaking woman standing before him now is the little girl who used to be his shadow growing up. Unable to stay away from each other, their tentative friendship soon sparks into something more and the red-hot chemistry sizzling between them can no longer be denied.

But falling for Brock again risks more than just Jillian's heart. When the past resurfaces, and a web of lies threatens to rip them apart, the fallout could lay waste to everything they've ever cared about...

[Romance Schmomance]

I'm all about second chance romances and I knew I'd be in for a treat with this one. It's been a while since I've read the Wait for You series, so I definitely need to do a re-read. However, this one was a much-needed read to delve back into the world of not only this series, but the works of JLA.

Oh, Jillian. Pretty sure I liked here from the very beginning and as you learn about her past, you can't help but just admire her. But that one night that completely changed her life, pieces of her taken away from her, but most of all, she lost someone she deeply cared about, Brock.CHECK OUT THE REST OF MY REVIEW | HERE

Fun read! I went into it thinking it was going to be a slam dunk good book and it pretty much was.

I docked a star for two reasons:

1) There were quite a few editing errors. Silly typos like "Lik,e" instead of "Like,". That was kind of disappointing to be honest. I'm usually pretty understanding with errors and oftentimes I don't even notice them, but these really stood out to me.

2) I was getting a lot of déjà vu while reading. I think it was because of the similar environment from Forever With You (the martial arts center). I had weird moments where I actually thought I was reading a book I'd already read. Maybe it was just because of how much time had past.. I remembered a few details from Forever With You (like the fact that there was a martial arts center) but didn't remember many of the actual details from the book so it just felt really similar to Fire in You.

Anyway, still a good read!

I was looking forward to this book because. I love a good second chance romance book and JLA never disappoints with her books.

Brock and Jillian's story was so much more than a second chance "romance". It was a second chance at being best friends. A second chance at being with the one person who go you to your very core. A first chance in being with that person heart and soul.

Growing up, Brock and Jillian were a lot of things to each other, but they never crossed the line and became romantic. Jillian my have been in love with him, but Brock ensured he never crossed that line with her. Too much was on the line for him, personally. He'd found a family with Jillian's. He found a careers in training at Lima Academy. And he had his best friend in Jillian. He wasn't willing to lose any of that by sleeping with her and screwing it up. But what he had with Jillian was ultimately screwed up and they needed to figure out a way to work past that and remember exactly why they were so close to begin with.

I loved these two together. Brock brought levity to Jillian's life. She was too serious, too down on herself. She needed Brock to help her learn to live again. She may not have seen that, immediately, and couldn't see past the hurt Brock had caused her, but her eventually pushed past her walls and proved to her that she was worth every it to him. He proved to her that he'd grown up and despite what she thought, had always seen her.

This was a great ending to the Wait for You series. Each one of these characters had an inner strength that was enviable and while at the same time being completely likable. Brock and Jillian were no exception. Brock didn't come off as the superstar UFC fighter he was, instead he was approachable, funny and so in love with Jillian it made you a little jealous.
