The newest Jae book was a huge hit for me. A nice, long character-driven enemies to lovers story. I love Jae's slow-burn books so much. There were some very interesting aspects of this one that I enjoyed learning about. One thing about Jae's books is that I always learn something.

Honestly, it wasn't a perfect read for me because of some of the same things that have stood out in other Jae books but Winter and Hannah made me fall in love with them and everything else faded away. The stuff that stood out and pulled me a little bit out of the story were repeated phrases that didn't feel natural (like repeated use of "professional cuddler" or eye color, stuff like that.)

All that being said, Just a Touch Away has a spot on my re-read list, for sure. And don't forget the free short bonus scene, The Welcome Party. It's adorable.

**1/26/24 - on a major Jae binge right now. Enjoyed this reread but a bit less than the first time.**

This was an accessible, enjoyable read. The premise which brought the leads together in an uncomfortable situation was unique and interesting. Jae did a good job of realistically having them work their way through their difficulties in fits and starts. I appreciated how communication was key and how, when that wasn't happening, no progress was made. And that first kiss...perfection.
