Until her brother's best friend, Tristan Adams, offers support, comfort—and a chance to have the child she's always wanted. Danielle is drawn to Tristan's strong, sensual nature, but she wed Marc in haste and regretted it. Is she about to repeat her mistake?

Danielle moaning her husband that died but to find out he wasn't what she thought he was.
With other wives and now his death she's trying to move on.
Tristan is Danielle best friend but he loves her more than she loves him.
Their relationship comes to something so different.
Just okay...

The Best For Last
Count on Mrs. Jackson to deliver a SATISFYING close to this trilogy. She definitely closed this series out with a BIG BANG! The first installment was sadly lacking, the second installment was surprisingly sweet and sensual, and third was HOT & SPICY. Tristan and Danielle are great as best friends and business partners, but as lovers their passion sets the pages of this novel on FIRE. I enjoyed the fact that they took a chance on their friendship and decided to venture into more intimate territories. I loved the way Tristan always looks out for Dani and only wants the best for her; even if it's NOT with him. And as usual for a Jackson novel, I found the character development on point and the storyline flows smoothly. I also enjoyed the continued contact with Renee, Alex and their significant others. I love the little twist Mrs. Jackson throw in with Marc Foster and the mysterious 4th woman, an intriguing and fulfilling end to this trilogy. They definitely saved THE BEST FOR LAST!

This book's storyline is really good & very hot & steamy. I felt sorry for Danielle. I love Tristan, I thought he was so sexy. I loved the ending. I really liked that I could relate to some parts of this story even though its fiction.

Best Friends....
Tristan and Dani had a bond...one that could never be broken. Dani was in denial about her feelings towards Tristan. Tristan made her see things for what the really were. Good story.

I was a rewrite and I read it when it was this title so long ago. I enjoyed it then and enjoyed it just as much today.

This was really slow to the point i just wanted it to be over. the reasoning behind Dani wanting to find the wives was not just silly but sad. Tristan was a good man to always be there for her but it was to the point i just wanted him to spill it or move on. Then for her to find the last wife and not tell her, what a waste. Makes you think since the woman was blind she may as well be dumb to the facts as well. She had just as much right to know as the other three did. She was clearly the smartest one by not falling for his bs and running off to marry the clown. I can only say that this was okay, its not anywhere near the league of the other series by the author. There was so much missing it's like someone else tried to be her but failed.

Not quite what I expected
Usually Mrs Jackson’s novels are a dream, but this in my opinion, was not one of her best. Whereas Carmen Green and Carla Fredd started and continued the trilogy beautifully, introducing us to two wonderful couples, who’s stories really took readers on a journey, ‘Just Desert’ feels rushed and unoriginal. This book certainly doesn’t do Mrs Jackson other works, justice.

This is the third book in the just deserts series. I really enjoyed how the main characters were life long friends who realized their love for each other.
