America Sweetheart A Novel edition by Jessica Lemmon Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

Jackson and Allison were the quintessential high school sweethearts until she took a chance on fame and fortune in Hollywood, and it broke them apart. Now, years later, Jackson's still in their hometown, owner of his own construction company and working on Allison's parents' home, when who crashes into his life again while running from scandal? Allison of course. Jackson has never gotten over his first and only love. Oh, sure, he's tried, but he's never been successful. So when she comes home with her tail tucked between her legs, he's at first determined to never go down that path again with her. Not when he knows she'll always choose her career over him, over them. But, the heart wants what the heart wants, and their chemistry is still there. Who is Jackson to deny himself the one woman he's always loved, even if it's only temporary?

Gah! I wanted to love America's Sweeheart because I adore second chance romances, and I've liked everything else of Jessica Lemmon's I've read previously. Unfortunately, America's Sweeheart just did not work for me. I loved Jackson, but he's really the only thing I liked about this story. I couldn't stand Allison - she never grew or matured as a character or as a person until the very end. She remained the same selfish, self-absorbed twit she was in the very beginning, and I could not for the life of me see what Jackson saw in her. Really, if Jackson hadn't been the real sweetheart, and if I weren't giving this story somewhat of a pass because I like Jessica Lemmon's writing normally, I'd probably 2 star it. But I'll leave it at three stars because Jackson is awesome and because I'd hate to 2 star something of a writer whom I normally love.

Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) i liked Jax from the very beginning now Allison, not so much. She truly became the spoiled hollywood actress people had come to know. So Jax and Allison were high school sweethearts and in college Allison decided to go to California so her and jax's relationship paid the price. Jax loved Allison and here is 10 years later and although he feels something for her he doesn't want to give her his heart again. For some reason Allison was not very nice to him and I wasn't crazy about her, eventually I tolerated her. Jax was loyal and sweet and kind enough to be there for her when she didn't really deserve it. When they start loving each other again her past comes knocking, how does she react? And, will they break them again? Or do they finally have a chance? I also love Julie, Jax's twin, she was great.
I was excited to read America’s Sweetheart. For the most part, I was happy with what I read. It was a sexy, original second chance romance. But, I was left feeling “meh” about the characters, how a certain character’s backstory was explained, and the romance was boring. Not the sex, the romance.

America’s Sweetheart is a second-hand romance featuring Jackson and Allison. Jackson and Allison were high school sweethearts who broke up in college when their lives went in different directions. Allison became a famous TV star and Jackson is a successful business owner. 10 years after they broke up, they are reunited. After taking the fall for something her famous ex-boyfriend did, Allison came home to figure out what her next move would be. Jackson, a successful contractor, is remodeling Allison’s parents’ house when she waltzes back into his life. Soon, Jackson and Allison are thrown together into a “faux” relationship to throw off the paparazzi. But, what is supposed to be fake soon becomes real. Can Jackson and Allison get through that without breaking their hearts again?

I am a huge fan of second chance romances. I like them because it is awesome seeing two people separated by years fall back in love. But, in the case of America’s Sweetheart, I felt that the romance was boring. There needs to be a rekindling of the romance between those people. Not walking into their lives and falling back into the same relationship. Which is what happened to Jackson and Allison. Plus, I didn’t know what Allison felt from one day to the next about Jackson. Did she want to be with him? Was she using him? In the back of my head, I was going “What the heck is going on!!!“

If I thought the romance was lacking in this book, sex definitely wasn’t. The sexual attraction and chemistry that they had were intense. Which in turn made the sex scenes powerful. I did have an issue with Jackson going bareback with Allison after making sure she was clean. Sorry, but if I were having sex with someone after 10 years of not being with them, I would sure as hell make sure to have a box of condoms there. I know it is nitpicking and weird but I get skeeved out over that. Other than that, the sex was insane.

I thought that the storyline was different. I liked that the author had Allison’s ex-boyfriend steal the Oscar and then frame Allison for it. But what I didn’t like, and what confused the heck out of me, was that Allison’s POV about the Oscar theft was brought up in the middle of the book. Put it this way. I ended one chapter and began the next one with Allison at that party. I was like “What the heck. Shouldn’t that have been at the beginning of the book? Maybe as a prologue????” It made zero sense to have it added in the middle of the book. While it helped me with understanding Allison better, it interrupted the flow of the story.

I couldn’t connect with Allison. It’s not that I didn’t like her, I didn’t understand where her character was going from one chapter to the next. I was also bothered that I couldn’t tell what she felt for Jackson. I couldn’t figure out if it was for sex or if she loved Jackson. She also came across as a little spoiled. Which I expected because she had spent 10 years on a successful show. But still. I wish that I had seen more of the Allison that Jackson knew.

I did like Jackson. I could understand why he was wary of getting involved in any way with Allison. She destroyed him when they broke up. I got it. I even understood why he got involved with Allison’s dating scheme. Unlike Allison, he was pretty good to read. I could tell that he was falling for Allison. Everyone could. Because I couldn’t get a hold on her feelings for him, I was hoping that she wouldn’t stomp all over his feelings again.

The end of the book fell flat for me also. The author did a great job of wrapping up all the storylines. She also did a great job at giving Allison and Jackson their happy ending. It didn’t do it for me. I didn’t think that the ending scene and what Jackson did was romantic. If anything, it stoked Allison’s ego. Call me unromantic, but “eh“.
