A
love triangle gone bad...He was the one guy I couldn't get enough of. One look from him would make me melt. He was the one I always wanted to love me, but always seemed so far away. Now he stands before me and he's turning my world upside down.
At one time I would have done anything to be close to him. But will that anything include betraying the man I pledged myself to and that loves me faithfully?
Samantha Monroe had it all. Or at least everyone thought she did. A career on the rise, a gorgeous husband, great friends and a beautiful home. So why does she feel so alone and empty? When she reconnects with an old flame, lines are tested and compromises made in a quest for happiness.
Jacob Matthews always wondered what happened to Sam Monroe. When fate brings them together after all these years, he can't help but wonder if it’s meant to be. But when he meets his perfect woman, there is no doubt in his mind she's his soul mate.
Will the search for happiness cost them everything or will their love square show them what really matters?

Genre: Contemporary / Erotic Romance
The
picnic is in full swing when we get there. Everyone is in good spirits as we
mingle, saying hello to familiar faces. Aiden is attentive throughout most of
the day. He always seems to have a hand either on the small of my back or
holding mine. It’s almost as if he’s afraid to let me get too far away from
him. Numerous times throughout the day, he’s kissed me when we made eye contact.
I can’t help but be confused by this turn of events.
Part
of me is angry with him. Why couldn’t he have shown me this much affection over
the last year? Things might not have gotten so out of control if he had. Not
that I can totally blame my indiscretions on him, but it was certainly the
driving force behind my affair.
Another
part of me wants to soak up all this attention and keep it locked away forever.
I’ve been craving his touch and I’ve missed our connection. The feelings I have
for him still run deep.
And
yet another part of me feels guilty for enjoying the way we’re acting today. If
Jacob knew how Aiden was making me feel, he’d lose it. I can just imagine the
anger in his eyes, the hard set of his jaw, his hands fisted at his sides. Most
of all, I can picture all too clearly the hurt and disappointment on his face.
Shaking
those thoughts off, I head towards the building that houses the bathrooms. As I
walk by a shed, I yelp when someone grabs my arm and pulls me to the side of
the building. A strong arm wraps around my waist pulling me against a solid
chest. I’m about to scream bloody murder when I realize its Aiden.
Before
I can ask him what he’s up to, his mouth crashes down on mine. Our tongues
tangle, our hands explore, and our bodies strain to get closer to each other.
I’m so lost in the moment, it completely escapes my attention that we could be
caught at any point in time.
Aiden
breaks the kiss, his voice husky as he says, “Sam, I want to lift this skirt
and sink deep into your body and stay there for days.”
After
a high of really great books this week, I am happy to report that Love Square kept the train going full
speed ahead. I was a little leery about reading ANOTHER love triangle book. I know that a lot of
people really love them but I am always a little on the fence about them.
This
love triangle is a little different than most. Sam is married to her soul mate –
Aiden Parker. They have been together for 10 years. When trying to start a
family doesn’t go as either of them planned, both start to withdraw from each
other. Now every marriage goes through their rough spots, but their rough spot
has been going for almost 6 months and Sam is really starting to feel that
maybe Aiden has given up on them. Then enters Jacob Matthews. Sam’s old high
school boyfriend, who shows up at one of Sam’s book signings (she is an author)
and he shows her a little of the attention that she has been craving.
What
I like about this book is that its real. This could easily happen to anyone of
us. There was no billionaire or rock star that came and swept Sam off her feet.
There were real life problems that could easily happen to you or me. Now there are
some smokin’ hot sex scenes in this book! There is also a lot of pain and
confusion. The book kept me interested and I loved how Jessica used real events
to make you feel like this is happening here and now around us. The characters were
believable and likeable. I would
definitely give this a solid 4 stars. Although this is a standalone book, there
will be a book two in the series from Jacob’s POV. Looking forward to reading more from Jessica
in the future!
I’d been toying with the idea for a while, but after watching a
television interview with Colleen Hoover, I thought to myself, “Why not me?” She
was just so inspiring. That night I sat down and outlined Love Square. I
decided if I didn't at least try, I’d never know if people would like it or if
I could be successful at writing.
Who
is your favorite author and what is it about them that impresses you the most
about their work?
Kristen Ashley is my favorite author. First of all – I LOVE ALPHA
MALES!! And who’s better at an alpha male than KA herself? But I also love the
way she writes. You feel like you are really talking to the people or hearing
their thoughts. And she spins such great characters and places. Anyone who’s
picked up a Kristen Ashley book wants to sit down at Fortnum’s and have a
coffee from Tex, grab a donut from Hilligoss or drink a Fat Tire beer.
What
is the one thing that has surprised you most about this whole experience?
That the story can take on a life of its own. There were some many
things in Love Square that didn't turn out as expected, like Brooke’s
personality or the Epilogue. I can honestly say I was just as floored as
everyone else was!
What
books are you reading now, or have read recently?
I’d love to get to Collide and Pulse by Gail McHugh as well as
Tarryn Fisher’s Love Me With Lies series. I have so many books on my TBR list. My
Nook has about 900 unread books on it.
So
what is on the horizon for you now that Love Square is finish?
Love Square was going to be a standalone piece but Jacob wanted his
story told. So I’m writing a follow up book now from his POV. It will highlight
a few key scenes from the first book and some things you didn't see happen, but
basically it picks up where Love Square ends. I’m really excited about where
this story is going! I can’t wait to be able to share it with everyone!

has always been one of her secret dreams and she can't wait to share her
stories with the world.
