Follow Me Back (Fight for Me Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 3,470 ratings

An intense, sexy, forbidden single-parent stand-alone romance from NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson

Dr. Kale Bryant is gorgeous, compelling, and married to his job. The only thing he has time for are one-night stands and short-lived flings.

Until the first time he sees Harley Hope Masterson sitting across the room. He wants her in a way he hasn’t wanted anyone.

Harley Hope doesn’t have time for another complication – one arrogantly beautiful doctor included.

When he begins to pursue her, her walls begin to crumble.

He’s irresistible.

One touch is fire.

One kiss, and they’re spinning out of control.

But taking this single-mom won’t come without consequences. Especially when he finds out he’s her son’s doctor.

Now Kale must decide if loving her is worth risking it all.

But sometimes even hope needs a hero . . .

"Hearts be Still", I fell in love with Kale Bryant and Hope Masterson!
** spoiler alert ** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When Dr. Kale Bryant stepped into his buddie Ollies' bar to celebrate his new endeavor with his best friends he had no idea that his world would be turned upside down by the red-headed, green-eyed beautiful woman sitting across the bar. (GO GET THAT GIRL; THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS) Not Kale Bryant, our cocky, sexy, never gonna settle for another woman never Doctor! Not after her. He was married to his career, taking care of his patients, his friends, and his family. To him Sex was his prize! At least until her..... Hope Masterson has secrets of her own as she is a complicated woman running from her cruel, wicked and vicious husband to protect her son, a special needs boy who she loved with all her heart and soul. She opened a coffee shop "A Drop of Hope" and stayed under the radar changing her last name to protect them. Only trouble was Kale couldn't get her out of his head, and she couldn't get him out of hers. AL Jackson is sensational at how she writes this story the witty, bantering of these two characters is a true show-stopper. The emotions shared through this beautiful book is inspiring, but wrenching where you are so enthralled you just can't stop turning the pages. A true beauty. She is right on with the explosive 💣chemistry of these two characters!💓🍓 Unaware of her past and her complications. Dr. Kale Bryant is persuasive when it comes to Hope Masterson. Little did he know when he stepped into the coffee shop that it was hers. He is so taken back by the site of her as she stood there staring at him: all Strawberries🍓 and Creme and everything sweet he buys all of her lollipops in an effort to support her cause. Convincing her to let him make her feel good and that she needs him. When she gives for one night-- its like fireworks. The girl who gets her fairy tale. Talk about falling in love SWOON! But when she takes Evan, her son to his new Dr. to discover it is Dr. Kale Bryant, does it get interesting. Kale is professional and earns her respect with the care he provides to her son, she allows those butterflies to flutter more as she fights the feelings she has for our sexy, and cocky Dr. While Kale is mesmerized by his feelings for her and the joy and emotion he has for her son Evan. Remembering that Kale is not the guy for settling down, he finds himself wanting her more than he's ever wanted anyone. Hope rips Kales heart out when she confronts him and tells him that she must walk away so he can continue to care for her son as to not have a conflict of interest. But he swears he won't run and he wants more. When Hope gives him her heart and her sons, there is a life changing event that causes their lives to take a heart wrenching turn. This story is filled with so much tenderness, happiness, pain and heartache. It is truly spell-binding. Kale runs back to Hope trying to convince her "She is you, Hope. I want to get inside you so badly, it's painful. But the last thing I want to do is complicate things more than they are. Amazingly enough is that Evan is the connection to their hearts in more ways than you've ever known. Realizing his own selfishness he recognizes that his Someday.....I'll find what was meant for me. (HOPE) That day you'll find me too (KALE) . Just don't let it be too faraway! (FALL IN LOVE) I give *Follow Me Back* 10 STARS ********** SHE STOLE MY BREATHE AND OWNS MY ❤ A Must Read for 2018 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I give Follow Me Back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    *SPOILER-FREE REVIEW*

    Welcome back to Gingham Lakes, where the men are hot and their women are a force to be reckoned with...

    It’s right there, in Gingham Lakes, where Dr. Kale Bryant resides, unwavering in his resolve to make a difference. And just a short distance from where he practices, A Drop of Hope owner—Harley Hope Masterson—serves up coffee with a side of sweet optimism and feisty determination.

    Dedicated doctor by day, panty-melting sex god by night, Kale Bryant is the ideal embodiment of the perfect book boyfriend, owning the very definition of “swoon-worthy.” He’s both “pin you up against a wall” sexy and “sweep you off your feet” charming. And if those qualities aren't already enough to seal the deal, Kale is also incredibly sweet and caring. Because as you'll soon discover—and as Hope’s best friend Jenna likes to point out—this sexy, charming doctor (aka, Sir Bryant) “bought All. The. Lollipops.” TWICE! :)

    Hope Masterson’s life is full of complications. And the very last thing she needs is Kale Bryant—with his seductive smile and charismatic personality—complicating her life even further. Still, she can’t deny the energy that pulses through her every time he enters her shop. Easily drawn into his flirtatious banter, Hope clearly enjoys her playful sparring with Kale. So when Kale offers Hope a night free of all her “complications,” she hesitantly accepts, allowing herself the freedom to enjoy “just one night.”

    For Kale, one night—one taste—had him craving a whole lot more. And for Hope, her one night with Kale had her wishing for things that just could never be. Still, neither he nor Hope could have foreseen the ensuing complications hovering on the horizon. But the pull towards something more, had this pair shoving all complications and worries aside. And their resulting union was nothing short of explosive.

    “Even hope needs a hero.” And Kale stepped easily into that role. Fueled by his strength of character, Kale resolved to save his princess from the evil villain out destroy her good. But even seemingly perfect heroes have their flaws. For Kale, it was the truth that became his kryptonite, weakening his efforts to save Hope and all that she holds dear.

    In this second installment to author AL Jackson’s Fight for Me series, “Follow Me Back” is a beautifully crafted, emotionally charged story that will touch your heart in ways you won’t soon forget. Written as a stand-alone, Kale and Hope’s compelling story also introduces new characters Evan and Jenna, who are warm, funny and utterly endearing. No doubt, they will make you smile, they will make you laugh, and they will most certainly make you cry. And as for Kale and Hope... their perfectly imperfect romance is EXACTLY what sexy, modern-day fairytales are made of!

    My thanks to AL Jackson for breathing life into Kale’s story in such a uniquely beautiful way and for delivering a “swoon-worthy” character that was once only a faceless, nameless fantasy residing inside my head. I can't wait to discover what this author has planned for Ollie. For it seems that with each book in this series, the men of Gingham Lakes just get hotter and more enticing.

    A great read. I wasn’t expecting the level of emotion this book brought out. In “Show Me the Way” Kale was the rock of the group. He showed up when Ollie or Rex needed him and seemed to hold them together. I never would have guessed the turmoil he was hiding.

    Kale was floating through life, thinking all he needed was his job and his friends to keep him satisfied. Then he met Hope. Hope definitely sent his world off kilter. They had an immediate attraction but were both battling demons and didn’t want any more “complications”. They finally had one date, but neither could predict their next meeting.

    Hope was just trying to survive and save her son. So when the man she’s been falling for turns out to be her son’s new doctor, she finds herself in a whole new situation. Hope and Evan are exactly what Kale didn’t know he needed. Evan brings up a whole lot of emotions in Kale that he would rather not face, but his love for both Hope and Evan are too strong for him to resist.

    This book was a little frustrating at times. There was a point where I just wanted to know all the secrets that were holding Kale and Hope back. When everything was revealed it was pretty intense. There was a lot of lead up and it was definitely worth it. I loved the way everything came together at the end. I was really routing for Kale and Hope and Evan throughout the whole book.

    This was so full of everything. It twists your heart into pieces, makes you laugh, makes you mad, and has you thinking what is wrong with him lol. It’s filled with so much love, heartache, sadness, and most of all, it’s full of a ton of Hotttness. I think Kale, Hope, and Evan are the best characters ever. For one thing, they definitely brought me to many tears.

    OUR HOUSE IS L-O-V-E. YOU HAVE TO LOVE IF YOU LIVE THERE. THAT’S THE RULE.

    Both Kale and Hope have gone through so much heartache, sadness, and for Kale a few losses.
    With Kale he feels that he doesn’t deserve to have someone to love, and that he will just end up eventually in some way, hurting them. “So untrue”
    And for Hope, she feels that she doesn’t even have the time and room for anyone or to even think about being with someone. Feeling she doesn’t deserve them or that it isn’t even fair to them, since she’s going through the fight of her life and praying she doesn’t loss everything she has and loves. “Again so untrue, lol”

    “Why do the best things have to come into our lives at the worst times?” “I know sometimes it feels that way. But in the end, it turns out things happen exactly when they’re supposed to.”

    Of course you can see how that’s going to go right away, we all know that there’s no way Kale, and Hope can say no to each other and that there meant to be. In the book there’s also one other character that I really enjoyed and that was Jenna, Hopes best friend. I don’t think Hope would of ever serviced without her, she’s the best and toughest friend to really have. It’s so sweet. Of course, there’s Kales friends too but we’ve already meet them in the past and we know we already love them.

    “I love her like a sister, you know? So you probably should be aware I’ll happily cut your dick off if you hurt her.” Apparently, I really was fluent in silent conversations. I’d gotten that one spot on. “She’s the one who said she could only give me one night.” “Did she?” Jenna handed me the change, looking at me like I was dense. “Or was that her asking you to be careful with her because she’s terrified of getting herself mixed up in another situation that isn’t healthy? But you need to know that when she tells you her life is complicated, she isn’t exaggerating or feeling sorry for herself. It’s because her life is really that damned complicated.”

    So again this book was really great, and I loved it a lot. I don’t know what else to say without giving anything away, so that’s it.
    One of the best books to me, that’s a five stars rating for sure, and a definitely must read book.

    I love A.L. Jackson and everything she writes. Her style of storytelling evokes many emotions.
    I gave this one 4 stars as I didn't feel as connected to the characters as I normally would. It's not to say there was anything wrong with the storyline; there wasn't, it was just as beautifully written as usual. It is just how I felt whilst reading it.
