New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James kicks-off her Want You Series with a Lund family cousin hot enough to melt the ice and mend a broken heart.
Former NHL star Jaxson Lund has returned to the Twin Cities, but he's at loose ends, unsure if he belongs at Lund Industries, or where he stands with Lucy, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Mimi. Despite the signs she'd like to leave him in the penalty box, the attraction burning between them reinforces his determination to prove that he deserves a second chance...
Lucy Quade is in a good place with a steady job, a nice apartment, and a well-adjusted daughter, which is why she's hesitant when Jax insists on co-parenting. It's not that Lucy doesn't trust Jax...she's just unconvinced he can handle multiple responsibilities when he's been singularly focused on playing hockey. But when issues arise with Mimi, Lucy's shocked at how levelheaded and paternal he acts, giving her a glimpse of the Jax she used to know, the sexy, sweet man she fell for years ago.
Once Lucy lets her guard down, Jax goes all in to show her how good they are together, but will their past remain too large an obstacle to ever overcome?
I absolutely loved I Want You Back by Lorelei James. This story captured my attention from beginning to end. I couldn’t put the book down!
This is a second chance romance, with a redeeming hero. Jaxson is a charmer, oh so sexy, and an amazing father.
I love Lucy’s witty and sassy personality. She’s strong, independent and is a fabulous mom to her daughter Mimi, who’s quite the little 8 year old girl!
The chemistry and banter between Jax and Lucy is so good!
I love the dynamics and relationship between the Jaxson’s Family and other secondary characters.
This story had all the feels. From laughter, tenderness, passion, and raw emotion. It felt realistic and genuine. Just the right amount of drama and romance.
This is my first read by Lorelei James. I really look forward to the next book in the series.
I received an ARC from Berkley for my honest and voluntary review. I highly recommend I Want You Back.
