cadiva 's review for:

Drawn to You by Jaclyn Quinn
4.0

This is a great opener for Jaclyn Quinn's new series, an off shoot of the Haven's Cove trilogy.

Powerfully emotional, seriously sexy, it looks at what makes a family into a family and that doesn't always involve DNA.

Here things are spiky and edgy at first, with a friends with benefits relationship on the skids when Eli wants more than Jake is prepared to give.

But life changing experiences have a sneaky way of forcing people to re-evaluate just what is truly important and the narrative turns into an honest romance when Jake realises that losing his fears could give him the life he's been too scared to take on.

I loved both the kids in this, they were completely age appropriate imho, neither some amazing genius child, both dealing realistically with deep trauma.

It was awesome to catch up with Eli's family and I loved the next door neighbours. As far as Jake's parents are concerned, they can do one.

Looking forward to more.
