Perfect for fans
of Alice Clayton and Emma Chase, Lauren Layne’s Oxford series heats up in this
story of forbidden desire as a brooding jock hoping for a comeback falls for a
woman who’s strictly off-limits.
A year ago, Jackson Burke was married to the love of his
life and playing quarterback for the Texas Redhawks. Now he’s retired, courtesy
of the car accident that ruined his career—and single, after a nasty scandal
torpedoed his marriage. Just as he’s starting to get used to his new life as a
health and fitness columnist for Oxford magazine, his unpredictable ex shows up
on his doorstep in Manhattan. Jackson should be thrilled. But he can’t stop
thinking about the one person who’s always been there for him, the one girl he
could never have: her younger sister.
Mollie Carrington can’t say no to Madison. After all, her
older sister practically raised her. So when Madison begs for help in winning
her ex-husband back, Mollie’s just glad she got over her own crush on Jackson
ages ago—or so she thought. Because as Mollie reconnects with Jackson, she
quickly forgets all her reasons to stay loyal to her sister. Tempted by
Jackson’s mellow drawl and cowboy good looks, Mollie is sick and tired of
coming in second place. But she can’t win if she doesn’t play the game.
I am
super excited to be reading another Lauren Layne book and to be very blunt,
when I read the synopsis for the book I knew I couldn’t let it slip through my
fingers!
Mollie
has love one man all of her life, but it is an unrequited love of epic proportion!
You see Mollie is in love with her brother in law Jackson, well I should
actually say ex-brother in law and best friend…also roommate, so when Mollie
goes big, she REALLY goes big.
Mollie
suffered through years of watching her sister manipulate Jackson; but after
Jackson’s career ending accident and subsequent divorce, Mollie feels like
Jackson has been hiding from her. So it all come to a head, after they meet up
and it ends up with Mollie moving in and soon sparks ignite, until the past
comes back to haunt them.
I will
give you a heads up that this book is mainly from Jackson’s point of view,
which is why I gave you a taster of Mollie’s above. This book is riveting and
it sucked me in from the beginning. I absolutely loved all of Jackson’s
co-workers at Oxford Magazine, I despise Madison, but the show stealer is
Lincoln! Oh my goodness I love him and I am completely desperate to know his
secret!
The writing,
plot and characters are simply perfect and left me wanting more! Which just
means that I Wish You Were Mine is simply perfect, so I give it 5 stars.
