This is without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite book to grace the world. Blake and Chloe's story is not just a book, it is a powerful journey of friendship, heartbreak, healing and beauty. If I could read a book for the very first time over and over, this would be it! I am jealous of everyone who will get to read this for the very first time!
Jay McLean is a literary genius, this soul consuming story is her best work to date, her growth and maturity as an author is noticeable and just incredib ...more

This isn't your ordinary romance. This is an emotion filled journey. It's a journey filled with both laughter and tears. It's a journey that will have you clinging to every word, eager to unfold the events that will come. You get equal measures of everything a GREAT book needs. Jay McLean has left me speechless and overwhelmed with her words. This, for me, is a life changing story. I recommend this read to all readers. Click now on Amazon and see where the road takes you. ...more

Cliche, yes. But, fire truck! It's "unexpectedly phenomenal".

You can run, you can hide, you can choose not to see, but where the road takes you will always lead to me. ...more

BOOK TOUR stop with TRSORhttp://booklitlove.com/wtrtm-jaymclean/

Here it goes.
This is as vulnerable as it gets.
I’m not one to show weakness. I’m not one to express heartache.
But One day an author I love opened her heart and let me read a fraction of the greatness she has within her.

Let me at my weakest moment read an ARC.
I can’t really express truly the depth of acceptance and heart I feel after reading Where the Road Takes Me, so if you read a little further you may understand why.

“Be strong when you are weak, brave when you are scared, and humble when you are victorious.”

It all begun at the darkness of night when Chloe and Blake meet in a park built with the bones of trees and ground of concrete. Eluding fake names they have no clue who each other are, except just a boy and girl; Chloe haunted by a traumatic past, Blake trying to decide the future path, both with different paths. This powerful journey of Blake and Chloe ignited a depth of harrow that bewilders romance, heart, hope, beauty in the heart and acceptance leaving a true imprint that is written within the etchings of my heart that will forever be there.

I can honestly can Where the Road Takes Me helped me through the most terrifying time of my life; where I like the main character Chloe had these walls up and the past haunted me but I opened up slowly as acceptance, love, friendship and hope all let me breath in a new light. The character of Chloe is a difficult one to do justice; because her flaws, her plan and her heart all combined with the hunky Basketball star of Blake; who sees something in Chloe and the love that develops was with intensity and pure raw heart.

Every part, every soul, every meaning of Where the Road Takes Me was like reading from my heart. I can’t get through writing, speaking, breathing about this story without tearing up so as my eyes get really watery, I just say the blend of heart, hope and emotion that swoons a perfect blend within the novel is truly life-defining and Jay has allowed Chloe to speak and myself to learn that fighting a battle of sickness is better with help. The story that I hope everyone picks up and truly is a poignant representation of a heart and life’s obstacles and with a heart that is beating so fast, I don’t want to spoil the story accept to say no words of mine can do the impact justice, the sheer impact of Jay McLean’s heart and her words leave me knowing that if anything someone understand.

The heart of Chloe and Blake is to follow where the road takes you and that’s what I will endeavour to do. Jay lots of hearts!

“Regardless of all the black-letter days you might have to endure, there’s always a red one waiting for you.” ...more

Well, she's done it again. Jay McLean has stolen my heart after shoving it in the front row seat of an emotional roller coaster. There is always a point in her books where I am sitting and crying (or sometimes yelling) while reading her beautiful words when I wonder why I keep signing up to read these books. Then I finish and she's painted my whole freaking world red, because reading a Jay McLean book is one giant ongoing red letter day. So let's start with Chloe, she's amazing and frustrating a ...more

I mean come on people. Did you really think Jay McLean would deliver less than perfection?

I've read a lot of really good books, and I've read a lot of really great books. I've even read quite a bit of memorable ones. I can count on 1 hand the number of phenomenal books I've read. The phenomenal books are the unforgettable ones, the ones first off the tip of your tongue when someone asks for a recommendation. They take you on a journey, make you question how you define yourself and how you defin ...more

Jay has done it again

I didn't even read the description for this book before reading it. I trusted Jay to take care of me and boy did she. WTRTM was such an emotional book many times throughout I found my heart racing as I wondered how a scene was going to play out. She just had a way of writing strong, emotional men that grab your hearts and don't let go. Blake Hunter was a phenomenal character that has stuck with me even days after I finished the book. ...more

Phenomenal

Jay McLean does it again. This is a heartfelt story about love, loss, and the exceptionally phenomenal. It's about making decisions and aiming for a life full of red letter days and not letting those black ones define you or your life. This is an amazing story; one that pulls you in and doesn't let you put it down. Blake and Chloe's love story is one that endures and overcomes and tries to beat the odds. If you love Jay's More Men then you will love Blake Hunter! ...more

It is 6:45 am and just finished WtRtM. I have now words right now for how beautiful it is and how lucky I am that I got to read it so I'm just going to thank you Jay.
