The Book
Release Date: 21 October 2013
Nina Kennedy was alive…but not living…until she met him.
Planes, trains, heights…you name it, Nina was afraid of it and led a sheltered life ruled by irrational fears and phobias. When she moves to Brooklyn for nursing school, that life is turned upside down, as she develops an intense but unwanted attraction to her gorgeous roommate, who’s pierced, tattooed and just happens to be the smartest person she’s ever met.
Behind Jake Green’s rough exterior and devilish smile, lies a heart of gold. He makes it his mission to change Nina’s outlook on life. When he agrees to tutor her, they forge a bet and the stakes are high as Jake forces Nina to face her demons. He just wasn’t expecting to fall hard for her in the process.
What Nina doesn’t realize, is that Jake has been living his own private hell. Once he drops a bombshell, will their love survive it?
Told in two parts from both Nina and Jake’s points of view, Jake Undone is a standalone story and a companion to the novel, Gemini.
My Review 5 STARS
I have been meaning to read this book for a while and am glad that i finally got round to it. This book is filled with so much angst and longing between the pair, but things never seem to run smooth however their deep their feelings go. There is always something seeming to try and pull them apart, even themselves.
The pair have an instant chemistry when they first meet, but Jake has his reasons for not pursuing Nina, even though he really wants to. He tries his best just to be friends with her, but it is obvious that Nina wants him too and the constant swing of emotions of push and pull has her confused.
Eventually, secrets and other people pull them apart, but only after they finally submit and spend a night together and the feelings of riding a high come crashing down.
Jake is a sensitive guy, holding it together and being their for those he cares about. He sticks by them even when it causes him great pain. He is greatly loyal and protective and loves to help those he cares about, his rough exterior is at odds with the man inside.
Nina is a girl with issues that Janke wants to help, he is great at building her up, but has less inner strength than Jake. She does know however that she loves him and cannot live a life without him in it.
Both crumble and fall, however it is only the thoughts of the other that pick them up and keep themselves going, Jake being stronger and fighting for what he wants.
It's quite an emotional story, but i am glad that i finally gave it a chance and read it.
