But Dani knows better. Allowing herself a night to be carefree and feel the intensity of their attraction won’t change anything when it comes to dealing with a player. So when Jax doesn’t recognize Dani the next time he sees her, it shouldn’t be a total shock. The fact that he’s her new roommate's brother? That’s a shock.
Dani doesn’t regret that night with Jax, just the need to lie about it. Since her roommate has made it clear what she thinks about her brother’s “type” of girl, the last thing Dani wants is to admit what happened.
Jax knows he’s walking a fine line on the soccer team. One more misstep and he’s off the roster, his plans to go pro be damned. Except he can’t seem to care. About anything… except for the one girl who keeps invading his dreams.
Despite Jax’s fuzzy memory of his hot hookup with his sister’s friend, he can’t stay away from her, even if it means breaking his own rules. But there are bigger forces at work–realities that can end Dani’s college career and lies that can tear them apart.
Jax realizes what he’s losing if Dani walks away, but will he sacrifice his future to be with her? And will she let him if he does?
FINDING DANDELION, the second book in the Dearest series, is a stand-alone novel. This New Adult romance is recommended for readers 18+ due to mature content.
Seriously, everything I read by Lex Martin is contemporary romance gold. I fell head over heels in love with the first book in this series and I was itching to get my hands on Dani and Jax's story!
When Dani runs into Jax on his 21st birthday, Dani lets herself go and they have an insane attraction she can't ignore. So when her roommate introduces her brother to Dani and she sees that it's Jax, who doesn't show a flicker of recognition, Dani is horrified. Not only is hooking up with a friend's brother a big no-no, he obviously didn't feel what she did if he can't even remember her name. Jax is stressing over his precarious position on the soccer team and can't seem to get his sister's roommate out of his head. Jax needs to focus on soccer, but he finds it hard with Dani invading his every thought.
I absolutely loved the fact that we got Clementine's brother's story in this book and still got to see Clementine and Gavin throughout his story. You all know I love myself an athlete, so I really enjoyed how soccer was so important to Jax and how he had to try to be well behaved or else risk losing his spot on the team.
This was definitely a super emotional book and I really loved how close Dani was with her mom. It's refreshing having a story where the main characters actually have family and friends they care about and are a huge part of the plot. Jax was just so sweet in the moments where it meant the most to Dani and I couldn't help falling for him. Since I listened to this on audiobook, I flew through the story and listened to it within two days. Both narrators were engaging and I could not stop listening.
If you can't tell, this was another hit from Lex Martin. I love her characters and how she creates such an emotional story with a strong cast of characters who all really care about each other. As soon as I was done with this book, I dove right into the next one because I had to have more of these characters!
