Just Love by Prescott Lane

Release Date: July 9, 2019

Just Love, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Prescott Lane.

There’s two sides to every love story. The how you fell in love, and the how you fell apart.

This is ours.

The cardinal rule of friendship is you don’t mess with your friend’s sister.

That goes double when she’s his little sister.

It was just supposed to be fun.

She wasn’t supposed to end up being the love of my life.

And I definitely wasn’t supposed to break her heart.

Ainsley is a wedding dress designer. That should’ve been a warning that she’s a hopeless romantic. That should’ve clued me in that she believes love conquers all.

But there are some things that love can’t fix. I’m one of them.

She thinks love is the answer.

But love is the reason I let her go.

A stand-alone, contemporary romance.

Excerpt:

I knew the kind of guy Rhett was. I knew serious wasn’t his thing. I knew using the word love usually sent him running for the hills. I knew it, and I did it anyway.  

But he wasn’t that guy with me. He and I were different. I know he loved me.  

I’ve loved that man since I was fifteen years old. How could I not? Forget the abs, the tan skin, those pale, sexy blue eyes. Forget the fact that his voice sends shivers down my spine. The first time we kissed, I felt my whole world shatter and fall into place at the same time. 

  I tried to pretend to be “that” girl. The kind that can kiss a guy just for fun, screw a man and not imagine a life with him. I tried. I failed. The hopeless romantic in me wasn’t having it.  

My heart should’ve known better — but my heart was no match for Rhett Bennett.  

When Rhett and I fell apart, I broke up with social media. I have to say, that breakup was a lot easier. No hashtags, no emojis, no memes to post. Some people use social media as their therapist. I’ve seen people post play-by-plays of their divorce, or explain every detail of their latest illness or drama. I probably could’ve attracted a lot more followers if I chronicled the demise of our relationship. It’s the stuff of soap operas.  

But instead, I broke it off with Facebook, banned Instagram, and boycotted Twitter.  

Today, Facebook and I are having one last romp. Relationship status update: Single. That’s it. That one little change. I have to start somewhere. Skye’s right about that.  

The one part of being single I have embraced is the diet. The single woman diet consists of basically any breakfast food for dinner, coffee, and alcohol. I’ve gotten so good at it, I no longer need a grocery cart when I shop. Quick tip, don’t get a cart at the grocery store, only buy what you can hold. It’s good for the budget and the waistline. Unfortunately, that rule doesn’t work so well at clothing stores.

My Just Love Review . . .

I've always been a fan of Prescott Lane, so when I get the chance to review, I jump at that opportunity.   Often when I read the synopsis that its the brother's little sister I catch myself from rolling my eyes thinking its going to be another predictable little sister romance, but with Just Love it was so much more.

"I'm sure I love her."
"You have to be sure you can let her love you,"

Rhett and Brody are best friends and the last person he should be interested in his Brody's little sister, Ainsley.  But he can't help himself for falling for her.   The book is step up going back and forth from present and the past, more like a before and after a big event.  However, we don't know what the event is and its a nice build for us to find out what the catalyst was that set everything off to heartbreak.

"You need to learn the difference between won't and can't,"

The more the book unfolds the more you see the pain of each character and how they are all dealing with the aftermath.  Everyone processes in a different way and this was portrayed very well.

"Love shouldn't lie,"  I say.  "If love should be anything, it should be honest."

I know that better than anyone.  If you truly love someone, you should never lie in the name of love.  Never lie to spare them pain.  Love them enough to tell the truth.  Then love them enough to sit in the pain with them.  That's what love truly is. 

When we finally get the truth behind the event a new story unfolds in the present.  Where love is the only answer, once everyone can get on the same page.  Which isn't easy when so much pain and hurt happens.

Love is a belief, a faith.  I've never thought about love as faith before, but that's exactly what it is.  To have faith is to trust someone else totally.  That's what love is at its core.
They say you can't have love if you don't have trust.  That's what love is.
Love is faith.

I absolutely adored this story.  Ainsley was a super strong heroine which is my favorite type of heroine.  Together her and Rhett showed what true love is all about, no matter what.  Also a big thank you to Prescott Lane, for making the male hero, real and honest.    And for letting him stay a version of broken instead of making an unrealistic twist of healing to wrap everything up in a perfect little bow.  Instead you gave us truth and reality, which is much more believable as well as gives hope to many people in similar situations.   Thank you.
