Tessa Ever After by Brighton Walsh Review
4.5 Smooches Review
Synopsis
Jason’s been living (and loving) the rich playboy lifestyle for five years, but now his parents are pressuring him to get involved in the family business. The last thing he wants is another obligation, but when his best friend moves out of state and asks Jason to look after his sister, he can’t just say no.
Tessa had to grow up way too soon. After dealing with the aftermath of her parents’ deaths, then becoming a teenage mom, she knows the meaning of responsibility. Which is why, at twenty-two, she’s looking for so much more than a party boy. She’s looking for someone who can stand by her and her daughter…forever.
A relationship between them is doomed from the start, but who says they can’t have a little fun? But as Jason gets closer to Tessa—and her daughter—fun starts to turn into something else… Something Jason’s not sure he’s ready for.
Review
‘I thought I’d be filled with uncertainty after having sex with Jason. I thought there’s be this giant question mark hanging over my head as to what came next. Instead, everything about it felt right. Perfect. And that scares me even more.’
I loved this book! As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series, Caged in Winter, this book was even better in my opinion! Jase and Tessa has a chemistry that is undeniable and a story that melts my heart. Jase is the typical full of himself, cocky playboy and Tessa is a smart mouth single mother just trying to get through each day.
‘I want to give Tessa what no one’s given her before. I want to give her what I’ve never given anyone before. Connection without an expiration date.”
I adore brother best friend books and this one was awesome. When Tessa’s older brother, her rock and main supporter in life, moves away to follow his dreams she is alone for the first time raising her young daughter. Cade, the brother, has his best friend Jase look in on her and before long he is coming up with excuses to spend more and more time with Tessa and her daughter. But Tessa isn’t looking to be another notch on his bed post and Jase is not he settle down type of guy. Honestly so much happens in this book I can’t even put it all here and I wouldn’t want to give it all away anyway!
‘Despite all my best intentions, all the walls I put up and precautions I made sure I took with him, none of it matters. I’m falling for him whether I like it or not.’
Jase goes though lots of self discovery and personal growth and watching him go from carefree playboy to a loving, caring family man made for a great story. Top that off with the fact that I adored Tessa and her daughter, Haley, this book is one I would definitely recommend. Hot, fun and full of drama and angst Tess Ever After is a book not to miss!
