I Want You Back by Lorelei James
4.0
This was a wonderful second chance romance. I really liked the ups and downs as Jaxson and Lucy come together and fall in love all over again. It was sweet and playful, emotional and intense. I enjoyed it all!
Since meeting Jaxson in the Need You series, I have wanted his and Lucy's story. I loved learning their history and how the story is set up between past and present, there were great building details. I like the attraction that Jaxson and Lucy still have, there’s a strong pull between them that’s magnetic. Learning about Jaxson and the things he'd done, I wanted to not like him but I loved seeing present-day Jax, trying to do better and learning from his past mistakes. By the end, I loved him.
Even though Jaxson and Lucy had major chemistry, I felt this was a slow burn romance. I loved the bond of intimacy they were forming throughout the story. There was a lot of openness and honesty happening, hard truths that had to be shared - not all of them pretty - some pretty darn uncomfortable actually. I thought the author did a great job sharing these raw and real things.
I liked the build, the characters, and details. I thought it was well written but some spots felt drawn out while other things felt glossed over so sometimes the pacing was off for me. Other than that, it was a pretty great read. I loved Jaxson's redemption and finally being the man he was meant to be. I loved Lucy's strength and forgiveness, and being able to move forward. Great start to a new series!
