This story blew me away. It was an amazing story and I truly loved every minute of it. It includes some surprises and I am not spoiling any of that. It is part of the Lund Family series but now it focuses on the Lund cousins. This is Jaxson and Lucy's story. Lucy has raised Jax's daughter while he played hockey and we know he cheated on her and fought her for child support and more from previous stories in the previous series.
Now Jax is a good dad. So good he plans to move into Lucy's building so he can be closer to his daughter and he loves Lucy and wants to get her back. This is really his story. He has some big obstacles and I loved how Lucy did not just fall for him. But we also learn more about what happened in the past.
This was a very well writtend story and it was a really amazing story/. Maybe the best book the author has writtend for the Lund family.
Lorelei James is a favorite "beach:" read for me and I wasn't disappointed with I Want You Back.
It was obvious from the beginning of the book that Lucy and Jax should never have broken up but Jax's nomadic and less than stellar personal behavior during his legendary and wildly successful hockey life torn them apart.
Since retirement, Jax has tried to become the father to his young daughter than he should always have been. Though resentful for the nasty trials and lack of resources Jax has thrown in her life, Lucy has kept a civil tongue to Mimi about her father.
Everything changes for Jax when he begins to see what an incredible mother Lucy is and an amazing little girl Miami is. He wants to be a better man and father and, truth be told, he still has huge feelings for Lucy. But a horrible, life changing secret may not allow that to happen.
Loved every page of this book. Highly recommend it to everyone!

I enjoyed this second chance romance between former NHL star Jaxson Lund and his ex Lucy, whom he shares a daughter with. They were the perfect match, until his ego and career got in the way. Drinking and women were the downfall of their relationship, but now that he is retired and back home, things are going to be different. He never lost that spark with Lucy, and he wants a chance to prove to her that is he is the man she deserves. Also, he is proving to be the father should have.
This book was a little slow at time for me. Then picked up, and then slow again. Overall, I enjoyed it though.
So much introspection on both parts.
While interesting it was not very entertaining. That said I enjoyed the hockey scenes. Not sure I really liked either the hero or the heroine. I definitely didn't like their child. This one left me wanting more warmth.
Very good read! It was a bit to long in some parts but still a really good story! This was Lucy and Jaxson book, Jaxson is an ex NHL player and Lucy is his baby mama lol Jaxson also was a total alcoholic cheater playboy! He retired from hockey and went to rehab. He definitely changed his ways and was trying to become the father and hubby he should have been to begin with! Their little girl they had together , Mimi, was awesome! I loved that little girl! She's a trip! I highly recommend reading this book! It's well worth the read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
