Description
Amber Gibson, Entrepreneur
Life is perfect. Amber runs Pops Place, a popular downtown Colorado Springs diner and a staple her parents passed down upon retirement. She also teaches music to underprivileged kids at The Music Center, where they put on a concert during Octoberfest at the Mining Museum each year. Amber’s happy with life just the way it is. Until her ex-boyfriend Jake comes back on the scene.
Jake Collins, Superstar
Life is perfect. Jake’s a country music sensation discovered on TikTok by manager Marvin Banks. With fawning fans, cash in his pockets, and travelling on tour, Jake’s got it all. Except for the passion to write his next hit. He’s not feeling it anymore and can’t figure out what’s missing. Jake’s sent back home, where he runs into high school sweetheart, Amber Gibson.
Like most second-chance romances, the prospects don’t look promising for Amber and Jake’s reunion tour. But then, he connects with her newest student, Joaquin, a boy with Jake’s same musical talents and abusive father. As Jake’s falling in love with her students, Amber’s falling back in love with him.
He never stopped loving her…but his proposal may not be the one she’s expecting.

I am a huge fan of second chance romance with a celebrity. While Just Jake is not a bad read, it was far from my favorite read in this troupe. It isn't that the characters are bad or you aren't rooting for them, it isn't even the plot - it is the actual writing style that didn't grip me. I wish I could pinpoint what it was about the writing exactly, but I cannot, it just didn't flow for me. That said, it is a pretty good book and is a solid 3.75 read rounded up to a four.

Just Jake is a second chance romance about a country singer making life choices that have affected everything from the way he sings to the girl he left behind. He has reached a spot in his career that has him rethinking things. I liked Jake.
Amber is the girl he left behind. She’s never stopped loving him and buries herself in work. Boy can she hold a grudge.
I enjoyed the story even if it was a bit saccharine. I liked the way they found their way back to each other. I could have done without a lot of the preaching but…
