Posted December 15, 2014 by Shannon in Blog Tour, InkSlingers PR, Reviews, Shannon / 0 Comments

20602567Born into wealth and privilege, free-spirited Liv Prescott left it all behind when she realized there was more to life than living off of trust funds and barely skating by. Since then, she’s worked and fought for everything she’s earned and never looked back at the world or the family she left behind.

Jackson Reid is starting over with a new job in a brand new city. A single father to his son Noah, he hopes the change will help strengthen the bond that has seemed to suffer since puberty reared its ugly head. What he hadn’t planned on was Liv—his exotic next-door neighbor who drives him insane with her wild, new age lifestyle, but still manages to leave him aching for more.

As challenges arise and feelings intensify, will these neighbors be able to look past their differences and find a middle ground? When love comes knocking, will they be ready, or not?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Jackson, Jackson, Jackson.  I loved Jackson.  His good old boy Southern charm and his personality won me over almost immediately.  Of all the heroes in the Ready series, I think it’s Jackson who give Logan the biggest run for best male.

Liv and Jackson have something pretty special, even if Liv doesn’t initially want to see it.  After their initial meeting, which didn’t go well, these neighbors found themselves drawn to one another.  Whether it was to issue a challenge or to just chat with one another, they couldn’t seem to stay away.  Jackson may not have been one to date, especially with his eleven year old son, but he was open to seeing just what this thing was with Liv.  Liv may say she doesn’t want a relationship, but she can’t deny her feelings for Jackson or walk away from him.  What we get is a courtship that is fun, sexy, and definitely hot at times.

Liv and Jackson don’t have an easy road through their courtship.  Liv’s estranged father starts investigating a bid for the White House, which forces Liv to realize just where she stands in the grand scheme of things with her dad.  And then Jackson’s ex comes to town hoping to cash in our Liv’s family wealth.  Those events proved that these two were meant for each other, since what they went through made them stronger and understand just how much they need each other.

We get to spend a lot of time with the other couples in the Ready series, which is always fun.  It’s nice to be able to see that each of them is just as tight, if not tighter, since their HEAs.

JL Berg is an author I always jump to get when I see she has a new release out.  The stories she writes always manage to grab onto you, as a reader, and get you emotionally involved right from the very beginning.  Her voice constantly amazes me and I look forward to whatever she has coming out next.
