I will read anything JLA writes, and normally I love it, but I'm just "meh" about this one.
In a way, I liked the glimpses of the couples from the other books, but at times I felt like they were getting an extended epilogue. There was a lot of "couple time" with them, but not so much with the couple of this book. There wasn't a lot of redemption, not a lot of woo'ing, and the conflict didn't happen until about 95% of the book. It was rather crazy, because there was just no resolution really. Just an "oh, ok" and it was over. I wanted, no, needed more to it. The other couples got an ending, Brock and Jillian didn't. And it was frustrating.

I really loved this book! Friends to lovers is one of my favorite types of love stories and Jennifer Armentrout delivered a fabulous one. This was a slow burn romance that in the end healed both Jillian and Brock. Their journey was beautiful there were sweet and funny moments and it was great to see the other couples from the series too. This was a great ending to the series!

It was an okay read. I really loved the previous books in this series but couldn't really find an In with this one.
The couples in the previous books are so damn cute and I was always cheering them on to overcome all difficulties and already get together. But I didn't really felt in in this book. I had a problem with Brock .... I felt like he got away with everything far to easy. He ditch Jillian and treated her like an annoying little sister even though he knew she was in love with him. And he ditch her for his friends and a girl. I felt that was a huge betrayal and it would be that even when he felt like he was just her friend. Friends should not do that shit. And while she has to deal with a traumatic event he got involved with the chick he ditch Jillian for. And he had the guts to bring her to a family dinner even though it is Jillian's family. I found that pretty rude and felt like another betrayal.
And as they got together years later I still wanted them to end up together but I felt like he should has to fight more to get back in. But Jillian made it pretty easy for him and I that left something sour in my mouth. He should had to do more groveling and Jillian should have told him what this betrayal felt like. Like she was all tricked out and wanted to go to dinner with him and tell him how she felt and he all but forget she existed and hung out with his friends and this dumb Kristen chick. For that he deserved a bitch slap and a serious head smack. I think when that would have happened in the book I would have been really happy with the story. But as it doesn't I still didn't like Brock all that much.. which makes me sad as I was really looking forward to his story from the previous books :(

I'm all about second chance romances and I knew I'd be in for a treat with this one. It's been a while since I've read the Wait for You
series, so I definitely need to do a re-read. However, this one was a much-needed read to delve back into the world of not only this series, but the works of JLA.

Pretty sure I liked here from the very beginning and as you learn about her past, you can't help but just admire her. But that one night that completely changed her life, pieces of her taken away from her, but most of all, she lost someone she deeply cared about, Brock.CHECK OUT THE REST OF MY REVIEW | HERE

Oh, Jillian. Pretty sure I liked here from the very beginning and as you learn about her past, you can't help but just admire her. But that one night that completely changed her life, pieces of her taken away from her, but most of all, she lost someone she deeply cared about, Brock.
And then years later, Brock is thrown back into her life and she can't but wonder what the hell is going on? There's obviously something more going on to this reunion than what's being said; as the story goes on a little by little, things will be revealed. Past Jillian and Brock are completely different than present. Jillian has walls that she put up for the right reasons, she wants to make more of her live. She came back to work for her dad, and surprise, surprise, someone else does to.
Brock is back in Jillian's life whether she likes it or not, and he's quite persistent on being in her life. Man, is he ever! He really doesn't give up. I totally side with Jillian, I don't know how could ever forgive someone like Brock or just want him back in your life. There were times where I simply thought was just trying too hard, but Jillian, bless her heart, never gave in too quickly. And I would do the exact same! You gotta earn it, buddy.
However, I did love their story and just seeing them repair their lives together. It's evident that the love between them is so deep. You definitely can't change the past, even though I'm sure Brock would if he could. But then we'd probably have a very different story. In order for them to move on, they had to relive the moments that happened between them. As painful as it was, they made, emotionally so. It had me at tears!
I'm sad to see this series come to an end, which means that re-read is well overdue. Their story tucked on my heart so much, Brock may have not been my favorite, but I loved Jillian. She endured so much and came out the victor! It's completely admirable.
Another well done, Armentrout!

“Falling for Brock had been a risk. Love was a risk no matter what, and I had been brave–dumb and blind–but brave. When it came to Brock, I dove headfirst and didn’t come up for air.”
“For a few brief seconds, there was no past, no yesterday and no tomorrow. There was just now, just Brock and me in this car, his thumb tracing invisible lines over my hand.”
“Living is all about taking risks. Yes. Living was taking risks. Living was putting yourself out there, sometimes jumping without a safety net. Brock would catch me. I didn’t doubt that.”
I have to say I really, really enjoyed this book. It has been quite a while since I’ve read something by this author and reading this book quickly reminded me why I love this series so much.
Fire in You is the 6th book in the Wait for You series, and while it is part of an interconnected series, I do believe that it can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. Fire in You follows the story of Brock and Jillian. Jillian has always been in love with Brock. Despite their age differences, the two have always been close. Unfortunately for Jillian, Brock has never seen her as more than just a little sister type. It’s not until Jillian is in her 20’s that she finally gets the courage to try and act on her feelings for Brock. However, fate had other plans for her that fateful night. That fateful night changed Jillian forever. Now, many years later, Brock and Jillian are brought back together. Brock knows that’s he’s made mistakes and wants nothing more than a second chance with Jillian. But, things have changed. Jillian is not the same girl that he once remembered and Brock has a lot to make up for. Will Jillian and Brock get the second chance they both desperately want??
Fire in You was a fantastic read from start to finish. I am such a sucker for a good angsty second chance romance and Fire in You does not disappoint at all. From the moment I met Jillian, I was sucked into her story. I wanted desperately to find out what happened to her and Brock. And the more I read, the deeper I fell. Brock and Jillian had amazing and I mean amazing chemistry. It just oozed off of the two of them and I could not get enough. I was on pins and needles waiting to see what would happen with them and I loved every heart pulling, angst filled, swoon-worthy moment.
Fire in You gave me everything I wanted, needed and then some. The characters were so easy to connect and fall in love with. The story-line captivated and sucked me in. I devoured this book easily in one sitting and did not want to put it down. I loved getting to visit and follow up with old friends again. This book in a way felt like coming home. I missed this series and I missed the characters and fell in love with some new ones along the way. Brock and Jillian’s story was an amazing second chance romance that gave me so many feels and left me with the biggest smile on my face.

JLA is either a hit or miss, but this installment was pretty good. Better than Stephanie's book by far. Not much going on except them getting together and Jillian learning to be a stronger person, but that's not a bad thing. I kind of liked the lack of drama lama. Good couple.
