Follow Me Back by A.L. Jackson

4.0

A great read. I wasn’t expecting the level of emotion this book brought out. In “Show Me the Way” Kale was the rock of the group. He showed up when Ollie or Rex needed him and seemed to hold them together. I never would have guessed the turmoil he was hiding. 

Kale was floating through life, thinking all he needed was his job and his friends to keep him satisfied. Then he met Hope. Hope definitely sent his world off kilter. They had an immediate attraction but were both battling demons and didn’t want any more “complications”. They finally had one date, but neither could predict their next meeting. 

Hope was just trying to survive and save her son. So when the man she’s been falling for turns out to be her son’s new doctor, she finds herself in a whole new situation. Hope and Evan are exactly what Kale didn’t know he needed. Evan brings up a whole lot of emotions in Kale that he would rather not face, but his love for both Hope and Evan are too strong for him to resist. 

This book was a little frustrating at times. There was a point where I just wanted to know all the secrets that were holding Kale and Hope back. When everything was revealed it was pretty intense. There was a lot of lead up and it was definitely worth it. I loved the way everything came together at the end. I was really routing for Kale and Hope and Evan throughout the whole book.
