Ok
so I finished Dearest Clementine yesterday and I was hooked. I HAD to write a
review, I had to tell people how much I loved this amazing book and how awesome
the characters were, there was no other option. And honestly that is the only
reason I blog. Because every now and then I will read a book that I just have
to tell anyone and everyone who will listen that they HAVE to read this book or
this series and the people around me are so used to my ranting they all just
tune me out.
So
I finished Dearest Clementine, I wrote my blog, I twittered and twattered and
then I one clicked Finding Dandelion and Kissing Madeline and I jumped right
back in.
I
have to admit I was a little apprehensive about Jax from the start and we didn’t
really know Dani much but the reviews on them were a mixed bag of OMG this
books amazing and Jax is such a douche-canoe he should burn in hell, so I wasn’t
sure it was going to be up my alley. Luckily I was already hooked like the
bookwhore I am and had it all loaded waiting for me so I HAD to read it to see.
In
Dearest Clementine I saw Jax as a complete narcissist who maybe was trying
to find his way back to being the guy he wanted to be. But then maybe I just
wanted to think that’s what I saw in him, I do so love a reformed man-whoring
arsehole. Getting to know him in this book there were more times than not I
wanted Dani to kick him in his soccer balls and move on. Then we would get in
his head and I would feel sorry for the giant dumb ass and hope he could pull
it together.
Dani
was such a sweetheart and I loved her from dot. She really did deserve a lot
more than Jax gave her but she was such an amazing person her forgiveness and
understanding aren’t hard to believe. The
last 20% of this book was amazing and all of the emotions and angst and laughs
and heartache reinforced how grateful I am that I am a reader.
“Jax,” I whisper, “thanks for coming to Chicago
to find me.”
I
close my eyes as he pulls me closer, and I nestle my head against his chest and
listen to his heartbeat.
“Dandelion,
I’m starting to think you’re the one who found me.”
I
do have to complain that we didn’t get enough Jax and Dani together time at the
end of the novel but then I am sure we are going to see some of them in Daren’s
story right? The addition of some amazing secondary characters in this book was
great but I did miss seeing the secondary characters I loved from Dearest
Clementine. However now I am busy praying that Travis will get his own book or
even just a kick ass novella please Lex please?
Anyway
I guess I better get to Kissing Madeline since I did crave a conclusion to
Daren after reading Dearest Clementine but I gotta tell you his fiancé better
get eaten by sharks in a feeding frenzy or have a piano dropped on her from a 9
story window or syphilis even or I am going to be very disappointed.
