“Will you let me know you?”
-Jax

Oh my goodness. The cuteness from this book is just perfect. 

Baker Liv is the kind of jilted person that we all should thrive to be. She was broken down and lost confidence in herself because of the wrong person in her life. Through that pain and suffering though, she built something for herself. She built a life and a family around her that helped bring the best out of her and got her to love herself again. 

Midnight in Dallas’ singer Jaxon had a pretty good life. He felt more at home on the road then he ever did in his apartment. The way Jax wanted something more than tour busses and fast food for every meal made me root for him. Even with a rough start at life, Jax turned out well rounded and became a good hearted person, it was still heartbreaking to hear him wonder if he will ever have what he dreamt of-a place to call home. 

The two meet while Liv is having a very girlfriend only conversation that Jax just happens to hear the end of. It was ridiculously funny and probably the best way for the two to break the ice. As the two become closer, the way Liv brought down her walls and allowed Jaxson in was so refreshing. Too many times does a MC have too much baggage that they fight the connection to the point that it almost seems best the two part ways a move on. The way Jax falls for Liv, and shows it, helps her know what they have is something different. Which in turn has her looking at herself in a much better light.
