“What if I wanted it, Eden? What if I wanted it to work? What if I wanted it all? What if I don’t want to let you go?” Trent finally giving in
Wow
I absolutely loved Eden, Trent and little Gage. This book was beautiful and worth every second of emotions.
Highly recommend.

This was okay. Eden was so not interesting and such a flat character- and I feel like every author has that one descriptive word they continuously use throughout a book- but good lord if I read "tremble" one more time

(Dual POVs)
This cover is what first captured my attention about this book! It’s both gorgeous and steamy at the same time! I really adored Trent as a dad, just as much as Eden adored him as a father! Like Eden, I’m a teacher and at my school, we have a tatted daddy that favors the cover model with his looks and tattoos so I could definitely relate to the admiring that took place at pick up time

5, Must-Read, Stars!!
“Life is a series of choices. Some are easier made than others. Some take days or weeks or even years of contemplation, while others are made in a split second. Some are destined to be mistakes and others are made of sound judgement and mind. Fueled by wisdom and foresight and discernment. Black and white. But sometimes? Sometimes they are grayed. Blurred. Obscured in a hazy cloud of smoke. Vapors and mist and uncertainty.”
“Heaven. It’d be Heaven, gettin’ you for one minute while on my way to Hell.”
“But guys like us? We didn’t get to rewind or rework our pasts. we didn’t get to make amends because you couldn’t right wrongs this bad. We didn’t get a second chance. Even when we ran, the demons would be right there. Our sins written on our souls. The horrors emblazoned on our minds.”
“We were opposites. All wrong. But I couldn’t shake the sense that I was supposed to be right there. Right then.”
“You said I brought your heart back to life, but Eden, you made mine beat for the first time.”
“Tell me you’re mine. Tell me you’re ours. Tell me you’ll protect him right alongside me.”
Trent Lawson is the complete opposite of what Eden Murphy should be going for. He’s dark, mysterious, and has an air of danger that surrounds him. But, the pull she feels towards him is undeniable. One look. One glance. And all bets are off. Wild horses wouldn’t be able to keep them apart….
Give Me a Reason is the latest emotional and soul-searing romance from author A.L. Jackson. From the moment you are introduced to Trent and Eden, all bets are off. Their story will consume you as the lyrical writing flows through the pages and leaves readers hanging on each and every word.
True to A.L. Jackson fashion, Give Me a Reason is filled with passion and written with a lyrical style that I have come to know and love from this author. The story between Trent and Eden is all consuming. These two characters couldn’t be more opposite if they tried. They seem so wrong for one another, but at the same time, they are oh, so right. Eden is the sweetest woman with a heart of gold. When she loves, she loves fiercely and there is nothing she won’t do for those lucky enough to make it into her inner circle. She is no stranger to pain and heartache and is a character I was able to easily connect with. And Trent…OMG Trent!! He appears to be this rough, tough, broody biker. But, man, once you get to know him, you will be hooked just like I was. He is an amazing father and he too loves those in his life so fiercely. He’s got his fair share of demons and is afraid to fall in love, but Eden makes him want to throw all his issues aside…
There is so much I would love to say and just gush over this book about. At this time, it is incredibly hard for me to put all of my thoughts and emotions into words. Give Me a Reason took me on the most amazing journey and what can I say, A.L. Jackson absolutely slayed me. She slayed me in the best possible way. I was given a powerful and emotional story filled with romance, betrayal, and unexpected twists and turns. It hit all the marks and in the end has just blown me away. Books like this are the reason I love reading. I hope you’ll pick up this book and fall in love with the story just as I have.

I feel like I’ve had a run of bad book reads of late, and I just don’t have the patience for this anymore. I’m pretty sure I’ve read a book several years ago by this author, but I definitely don’t remember the type of overblown writing that permeated literally every page of this book. The prose and wording was just so non-stop overly dramatic, it became eye-roll inducing and utterly boring at the same time - and since this is a 418 page book, that’s a lot of bad writing to slog through. This is another one of those reads where I’m mystified by all the 5-star ratings because to me this was just plain bad.
I liked the idea of this, single dad who's also an ex-VP of a biker club and his son's kindergarten teacher, more than I liked the actual book. The kid in this was so full of love though he stole the show for me, I loved his and Eden's connection!!
