Finding Dandelion (Dearest Book 2) Kindle Edition

Dani and Jax shared an incredible night together, which one can't remember and the other can't forget.

When soccer all-star Jax Avery collides with Dani Hart on his twenty-first birthday, their connection is instantaneous.

For the first time in years, Jax isn't interested in his usual hit-it and quit-it approach.

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 the girls her brother hangs out with, 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 that 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?

Jax and Dani's story Dearest #2Having just finished Dearest Clementine Book #1 I couldn't wait to read more about this series wonderful characters. Jax had already gotten my attention in book #1 even though he's a rich soccer player. He meets Dani at a club and they hit it off and then he's gone. When they meet again they realize he is Clementine's brother and she's Clem's new room mate. The chemistry and steam was sizzling hot! I love the angst, the constant push and pull that makes this book a definite must read!

The author offered me a free copy for a review ... but I had already purchased it because I love her writing so much I couldn't wait to read Danielle and Jax's story.

And I was not disappointed. God!!! This book was so good. It was fun. It was sexy ... soooo sexy!! And it was full of captivating characters again. I really love the way Lex writes her characters. Of course the story line is phenomenal, but just the way she creates these characters personalities makes me hope that they are out there somewhere and I meet them and we become best friends. Their funny and sincere and I love it!!

I really love Dani. She is shy and "nice" but I love that she also seems comfortable with who she is and the friends she has. I love that we get to see her push herself with Jax and be flirtatious and bold with him. Throughout the whole story I really connected with her and what she was going through. There were moments when I cried when she cried and felt her embarrassment with her. I loved reading about her relationship with her mom and seeing the positivity that came from it. And her friendship with Travis was fun! Can he have his own story, because he was fun!!

Finally, Jax. He was everything we thought he would be from Dearest Clementine and I loved watching him fall for Dani. I loved figuring out his story and hearing his side of the events with Clementine. There were times when I was with every other character in the story and wanted to slap him, but mostly I just wanted to be in Dani's position. Lol!!

I enjoyed seeing all the characters again in this book and reconnecting. I really do love Clementine's personality. And it was fun to hear more about the out-sexting game they play.

Overall just a great book that I think was written fantastically!! I CAN NOT wait to read Darren's story and really everyone else's, also!!

Review:

Warning! Slight spoilers!

I haven’t read the first book in the series, but having a secret and intense liking for specific amnesia stories (eg. boy and girl meet, fall in love, then one loses their memory and then one struggles to move on or win back their love, while the one without memories is blissfully and cruelly clueless), I simply had to get my hands on it, be it a second book in the series or not. Angst within amnesia plots is so painfully cheesy, overemotional and usually incredibly unnecessary, because there is always something insignificant, at least to the reader, that prevents the one without holes in their memory from revealing the truth and, in most cases, it’s because of the greater good or due to pointless selflessness. It all comes together like a bad soap opera and while annoying and making me roll my eyes, I cannot deny the glorious wonderful fluffy angst.

The situation isn’t really significantly different from my example scenario within this book, there is the boy and girl who experience an explosive attraction and get it on, only for the boy to hit his head after their sexy tryst and the next time they meet, the girl finds out that the boy is her roommates brother and apparently a huge ladies man, so naturally, it would be embarrassing to admit to her friends that she fell into the same trap as many others, and also, the boy doesn’t seem to remember her at all, thus she naturally assumes that she was so insignificant that he simply didn’t bother to recall her. And that would be the end for this lovestory if it only wouldn’t have been for the appalling driving skills of Jax aka the boy and him hitting Dani aka the girl with his fancy pancy BMW. He should have gotten a punch to the face for that and all the legal mess that comes with that by the way!

Apart from the overly used and cheesy amnesia plot, that I apparently love, I really liked the chemistry between the main couple. And I mean after they meet again and, due to guilt and to not be caught and thrown out of his soccer team, Jax takes her in and becomes her personal nurse. Their first meeting was undoubtedly hot, but I was more charmed by the time they spent living together, talking, having fun and simply becoming friends, friends that had the hots for each other, but sincere friends nonetheless. I enjoyed reading about them watch TV, of Jax taking care of Dani and her injured leg, them flirting, etc. They were cute and innocently romantic together. They built a steady and strong base for their blossoming relationship without it being dependant only on their attraction and only on the sexual aspect (although they had covered that part before, he simply wasn’t aware).

While I mostly liked Dani and Jax, each had gaping faults as well, especially our Romeo. The latter, despite his reasoning, past painful experiences and family issues, maybe I can’t say was a total ass, but he certainly didn’t act very rationally, nicely, honestly and considerate on many important occasions with his sister Clementine and especially with Dani. The biggest fail was him remembering his previously forgotten one night stand with Dani, which happened during the most awkward and inconvenient of moments mind you, and being and acting as he did after the revelation. That was a blow in the face for the girl, especially considering the issues and other heartache she had going on, and despite those being too much, slightly forces and unnecessary for the story, it did make grovel time for Jax more difficult and he had to work his butt, which unfortunately, I think he didn’t work as much as he should have.

Overall:

You cannot go wrong with amnesia and angst, so yes, I liked the story quite a bit despite its flaws.

If I could give this book more stars I would, while I loved the first book of the series and Clem/Gavin were great to me Jackson/Dani were better. Even if they both danced around their feelings for each other and I felt the drama in the book was very realistic, I liked their chemistry better. I am a sucker for playboy reformed stories and to me I felt Dani was a great heroine. I also liked that unlike in the first book this was written in POV's. I felt the POV's was what really set this apart from the first book.

The chemistry between them was off the charts and I can see why they both fell in love with the other. I loved that like a few other recent authors I have discovered Mrs. Martin really tries to keep situations and characters down to earth and lets them act their ages. I felt both characters evolved well over the course of the novel and the price on these was great too. I felt that they were passionate about each other, about their friends and loved ones. There were times I laughed out loud, that I wanted to scream and others that I just cried. Dani came out of her shell with Jackson quit being so hard on herself about her looks and took the risk to allow herself to love him. Jackson on the other hand grew into a man, who found there was more to life than partying/whoring around and became worthy of someone like Dani.

So far I am loving the Dearest Series and of them all this is still probably my favorite.

After reading "Dearest Clementine" I immediately bought Dani and Jax's story and loved it even more. Dani is such a strong character and she matured in such a great way throughout the whole story. She stands up for what she wants and fights for it - Jax struggled with his own demons. I enjoyed their journey immensely and am really happy that I stumbled upon this series!
You're going to fall in love with the story and the characters!

Wow. The story of jax and dani is a fantastic emotional read. This book had me in tears from the heartbreaking storyline. Dani is away from home after her mother was ill and then given the all clear. Her mum is her only family and biggest supporter. Bring in jax who doesn't remember the intimate time they spent together in the club of his 21st birthday and dani doesn't know what to make of it. They have a sexual chemistry together but stay back because shes the roommate of jaxs twin Clem. Therefore shes off limits. Plus hes a manwhore. A few near misses sends them in the opposite direction and then dani has news which turns her world upside down. I loved this book. Cant wait for darens story next.
