Synopsis:

Jake Stevens has it made. A local police officer with an open invitation to any number of beds around town, Jake has no desire to settle down with any of the ladies he entertains by night. After watching his best friend fall in love with his little sister, Jake is certain that love and marriage just aren’t in his cards. Heck, he’s not even playing with the same deck.

After Jake encounters a blast from the past one night, he finds himself swimming in uncharted waters. For the first time, Jake has found a woman he can’t get out of his mind. The kicker? The woman wants nothing to do with him.

Erin Anderson returns to the small Missouri town of Rivers Edge for a job after a twenty year absence. Erin spent years loathing the memory of Jake Stevens for his cruelness back in seventh grade. Now, Jake appears to be the same self-centered player he was in junior high, and no one seems to be able to push her button the way the cocky, yet devastatingly handsome cop does.

Between circumstances that keep thrusting them together and Jake’s persistence to annoy her, Erin struggles to fight her growing feelings for Jake. But, can Erin get past the hurt she felt all those years ago at the hands of a young Jake? Can Jake show Erin that what they have is worth fighting for?

Jake Stevens is a police officer by day and man whore by night. Erin is the new librarian in rivers edge.

Jake and Erin have history. horribly embarrassing history that happened twenty years ago and involved Jake letting the whole school read Erin’s diary.

Erin is now back after landing a job as the town’s librarian. to Jake’s dismay Erin wants nothing to do with him. But Jake has been harboring a little secret of his own since they first met in school. Erin may not want anything to do with Jake but when Jake wants something he’ll do anything in his power to get it. and he has his eyes set on Erin.

When i first read Trust Me i immediately loved Jake and wanted his story. I was excited to learn Jake’s story was next. I did enjoy this novel but it was just okay for me. It felt a little rushed in some areas. I also felt the supporting characters overshadowed the main characters in this novel.

I did however really enjoy Erin and Jake’s relationship. I also loved how close knit the Stevens family is! I especially love Mama Stevens, matchmaker extraordinaire haha.

I do recommend reading these novels in order even though they are standalone, the books start where the previous novel left off only its a different character. *If that makes sense*
