If You Were Mine

I loved J.S. Hawley's first book 'Come With Me' and this story is just as great as her first book! The storyline was amazing and the main characters Jailyn and Caleb's love scenes were sizzling. Another great book by J.S. Hawley!

I liked J.S. Hawley's Come Away with me, but absolutely LOVE this book. The heroine Jailyn is quirky, colorful and absolutely wonderful. Couple her with a somewhat repressed, hard to read hero in Caleb and you have got the makings of fireworks! The love scenes are frequent and erotic. The backdrop is an interracial romance (or so it would seem), but the plot is around embezzlement within Jailyn's company. A wild, colorful, fun read which I highly recommend.

I love J.S. Hawley's work thus far. But, I must say that there seemed to be flaws in this one. I loved the characters: Jai and Caleb. But the writing itself seemed somewhat schizophrenic. From one paragraph to the next I was often confused. I had to go back and read some sections more than once before it clicked. I think this might be an editing issue, however. It seems that portions of the story were simply missing. I wish Ms. Hawley would be given the opportunity to write a full-length novel because, clearly, she has many ideas in her head. By the end of the novel, I still did not understand fully what had happened with her company, I still was unsure about the mob connection, and, literally, from one paragraph to the next we jump 2 years. The book was everywhere. I found Come with Me an easier read. With all of that said, I would definitely read another one of her books.

I like JS Hawley. She's very descriptive in her writing. This was better than her first novel (Come With Me). Caleb and Jai were great together. You really like Jai's character b/c she's strong and bold and "lives out loud". Caleb is more reserved but she captivates him from the first. There was LOTS of PASSION in this one and I enjoyed all of it. Buy and enjoy!
