Avoiding Responsibility (Avoiding, #2) in The Indie Bookshelf

Aug 03, 2012 Claire Contreras added it

What I loved about this one was that it wasn't about Jack and Lexie anymore. It was more about Lexie-period. Yes, there was Jack. Yes, there was Ramsey. Yes, there was a mystery guy. BUT the story was about Lexie finally putting herself first. FINALLY.

Can we leave this story here and have a book 3 just about flying unicorns and pretty hot pink hearts, please? I really need this girl to have her happily ever after with the guy she chose! She deserves it, he deserves it. I'm a happy camper, I can ...more

AHHHHH! Yup that is my reaction. This book starts up months after Lexi left Jack in the dust. She has done amazing in cutting his toxicity out of her life. That is until a phone call from Ramsey inviting her to be his date to Beckah’s and Jack’s wedding…..

Cue kicking and screaming!!!!

There were moments I wanted to throw me kindle out the window and yet I LOVED every second of it. Jack is still Jack. Sexy, dangerous and so damn selfish. Yes I still love him and so does Lexi…

“We have such a long history that when I look into his eyes that’s all I can see. I forget the stupidity of what we’ve done and who could get hurt. I just remember the man who loved me once”

I love that quote more than life itself. I think anyone that has been in a relationship that has ended experiences that. Some wounds no matter how much time has elapsed still feel fresh. For Lexi I always believe that regardless of what history she and Jack share the love that was between them doesn’t end because they do. And that is what makes their story so painful.

“I want to escape with you, Jack.”"I’ll always be your escape, Lex.”

Ok so let’s get off my Jack bandwagon and discuss Ramsey….

So Ramsey since the 1st book has felt ‘off’ to me. There was something about him that put my guard up almost immediately. Without giving the plot away I understand why I felt that way towards him. He has some big skeletons flying out of his closet. And one of them happens to be Parker, his ex-girlfriend that resembles Lexi so much it borderlines creepy. But I don’t dislike Ramsey, quite the opposite. He is flawed but he definitely has me toeing the line of ‘Team Jack’ to ‘Team Ramsey’. If only they shared a polygamous relationship….just kidding! Well maybe…

“Lexi, it is for you. I’m working to make things better for you.”

And our best gal pal Chyna is back and with a boyfriend! I know it is shocking considering her myriad of daddy issues but Chyna has grown up a lot since the last book. Unfortunately her boyfriend is hiding and skeleton in his closet that Lexi is all too familiar with….by I digress.

This book was another winner from K.A. Linde. I LOVE her characters, well except Beckah. I LOVE to hate her. Be prepared for a steamy angst filled book of love, deception and hopefully come book three a possible redemption for my beloved Jack.

5 stars*

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Crap.

Book one I was Team Jack.
Book two I started off Team Mystery Man, then turned Team Ramsey and still can't help but have hope for Jack.

And now to hear there is a book three?

Crap.

I couldn't help but be proud of Lexi this time around. She didn't take crap. Not from Bekah (okay well not all the time) and not from Jack. Her heart still reacted to Jack but she fought it.

Then there is Ramsey. He's such an enigma to me. Why is he always hiding something? Why is he always lying? Is there a need? If ...more
