Publisher Description
Jenna Ward is vivacious, spontaneous, and confident - except when she's around the man who stole her heart years earlier, strikingly handsome, quiet, and reliable Pete Lacroux. After years of trying to get his attention and overwhelmed from dealing with her mother's new cougar lifestyle, Jenna's giving up on Peter - and is ready to explore other men.
As the eldest of five siblings, with an alcoholic father to care for, boat craftsman Pete Lacroux always does the right thing and has no time for a real relationship. He's looking forward to seeing his friend Jenna, a welcome distraction who's so damn sexy and so painfully shy that she equally entertains and confuses him.
When Jenna picks up a hard-bodied construction worker, jealousy ignites Pete's true feelings, and he's powerless to ignore the desires for Jenna he never realized he had. But Pete's not the quiet guy he appears to be, and his life is anything but conducive to a relationship. Can Jenna handle the real Pete Lacroux - the sexiest, most passionate alpha male she's ever seen - or will she crack under pressure? And can Pete reclaim the life he once had without tearing apart his family? This contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to listeners who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women's fiction. While each book may be listened to as a standalone, you might enjoy listening to the entire Love in Bloom series.
Customer Reviews
Jenna and Pete
We’ve been waiting for this story.
Jenna is sugary sweet but tired of waiting for Pete to notice her
Pete is dealing with personal issues and see Jenna but doesn’t think he is good enough
Watching them find their way is fun stuff!!
BJ is a phenomenal narrator. He always makes the story feel more personal.
More seaside hijinks
More hijinks by the seaside girls. And Jenna never even realized it. Of course Pete did since he knew the needed repairs were not normal wear and tear but someone tampering with Jenna’s cottage. Both have issues with parents that need to be dealt with. But they deal with it together. Yes the talks are independent but the discuss what is going on and how to address it with their respective parents.
The one thing I didn’t like in this story was when Jenna decided to go out with someone else to make Pete jealous. I don’t like that she stooped to that level.
As usual BJ Harrison narrates beautifully and brings the characters and emotions to life.
Pete & Jenna, a friends to lovers romance
I listened to the audiobook as well as read the Kindle edition.
Super sweet and sexy Jenna Ward has been in love with local handyman, uber hunk and friend Pete LaCroux for what seems like forever. For as friendly and outgoing as Jenna is, she's completely tongue-tied around Pete.
Pete has secretly harbored similar feelings for Jenna, but whenever he's close to her she doesn't appear interested. This unfortunately makes Pete think she's not interested in him as anything more than a friend. He also has some big family issues that stop him from having someone permanent in his life.
This summer Jenna finally admits defeat and gives up on Pete. If he isn't interested in her, she's going to finally move on. Determined to prove to herself she can get a man Jenna picks up a construction worker while Pete stews watching.
Is this the wake-up call Pete needed? Can he solve his family issues so he can start living his own life with the woman he loves? Will Jenna resolve her own family issues?
This friends to lovers story is decidedly full of heart with heat. You'll love to revisit the Seaside Girls and listen to Pete and Jenna find their way to their own happily ever after.
As always Melissa Foster does a wonderful job of weaving the story with just the right amount of love, romance and passion with a dash of angst. B.J. Harrison once again does justice to the story and brings these amazing characters to life. You won't be disappointed!
