He has to fight drinking (as Ava is convinced he's an alcoholic), he has to fight suitors of Ava/enemies of his own, as well as finding a way to keep Ava happy with him. Jesse has to fight a lot of challenges through this book. 'I want the woman who keeps my heart beating with me.' -Jesse Who hasn't wanted a guy who wants her that way? He wants her any and all ways he can have her. He wants to be there for her and protect her. He wants her with him because he loves her and misses her when she's gone. It's obvious in this book that all of Jesse's crazy antics and behavior centers around his love for Ava. 'I've never seen him so determined to live.' -John One of my favorite sections of the book was with Ava talking to John about how exasperating Jesse can be. As the book progresses, the reader starts to see and understand why Jesse is the way he is with Ava. I hate that I love the snipping/fighting between Jesse and Ava, but you just come to expect it. We all know he's crazy and neurotic, but that's because of his passion and love for Ava and how can you really blame him for caring too much? I can't. As a reader, I felt like my heart was breaking with Ava's seeing the detrimental state Jesse was in. Ava cries and cries, so upset over the state Jesse's gotten himself into, and John just shakes his head saying he'll come around. Sam, Drew, John, and Ava find Jesse in an unconscious, drunken heap at the penthouse. Ava refuses at first, but her love for Jesse and her need to make sure he's ok has her giving in to Sam's request and helping out. Sam approaches Ava because he's worried about Jesse and Ava is the only one who can get into Lusso to check on Jesse. We start this book in a very similar situation. Ava was crying herself to sleep every night and Jesse was drunk out of his mind. Oh my goodness! This Man left us on a major cliffhanger, right?! Jesse and Ava were dreadfully apart, both miserable. If you're good with them and love Jesse and Ava as much as I do, please continue reading! Spoiler alert, by the way- go read the book if you don't want any spoilers!

If you aren't ok with the steamy scenes, you won't love this book. Once again, this book is intense, emotionally and physically.
