Jesse's Girl
by
Successful Texas lawyer, Reade Walker, curses that damn song every time
it plays, all too aware of the irony of its lyrics. After all, he has
been secretly and painfully enamored with Jesse’s girl, Gwen, for nearly
a decade. It was love at first sight for him, but sadly she’s not his
girl. She belongs to the one man who betrayed him and knows Reade’s
hidden family secret. Yet Reade can’t seem to love anyone except the one
woman he can't have. Or can he make her mine?
When Gwen Clark’s senator husband runs off with his intern and all their money, the ensuing scandal turns her life upside down. Deserted, penniless and desperate to provide for her six-year-old daughter, Gwen has no one to turn to but Reade Walker. The one man her heart desperately wants, but her pride dreads having to ask for help. Despite welcoming them into his home, it seems like Reade can barely stand being in the same room with her anymore, let alone under the same roof—in the same bedroom. But Gwen is determined to get her life back on track. It is past time to rediscover her own dreams…if only she can keep her aching heart from breaking all over again.
*Song lyrics by Rick Springfield Jessie’s Girl, 1981

Jesse’s girl is another hit with me from Tara September. I really like this author and her audiobooks.
Reade has always had a thing for Jesses girl. He never thought Jesse deserved her. Now Jesse has committed the ultimate betrayal Gwen needs help. At the centre of a scandal she’s desperate to escape, Reade finds he can’t do enough to find her a new home with him.
Gwen has a child and Reade soon finds he’s slipping into the life he’s always wanted. He can’t resist Gwen but can there change in relationship really work out when there is so much baggage.
I really like Verla Bond as a narrator. She has a smooth engaging voice. She reads this story so well.
Reade is a beautiful man and I like the way he safes the day even after all those years of thinking Gwen wasn’t his.
5 out of 5.
