***4 Stars***
I do love me some second chance romance. It doesn’t really matter if it’s an angsty or sweet, though I will be honest and say I do like a good serving of angst, I simply enjoy watching as two people come to the realization that the attraction, the connection, that they once had is still there and work through the issues that drove them apart and Dear Jane served up a good dose of that for me. It was a sweet, funny and smexy ride that while low on the OTT angsty drama, it did serve up a few moments that caused the rolling of eyes and growling in frustration as I kept turning the pages to see just where Jane and Weston would end up.
I really liked Jane. She’s sassy, sweet, hard working and intelligent and the fact that she is all about football and worked her way up in the organization on her own merit. Weston. This man. He is a good man, who loves his job and does his best to keep the drama on the DL, but he does tend to do the tunnel vision thing and sometimes the conversations he has in his head edge towards that side of the spectrum instead of outside of it.
Jane and Weston’s journey to their HEA was a fun one overall. For the most part, they did their best to act like the adults that they were and realize that while there were somethings that stayed the same, they had grown up. There were a few things that gave me whiplash and had me rolling my eyes, but I understood the why’s behind them. As for what happened to initially break them apart...I gotta say I was totally Team Jane on that one. I understood the circumstances behind it all, but totally Team Jane and as for the big sink hole that occurred in their second chance? Yup. Still Team Jane, but the grovelling was done perfectly.
This was a fun, sweet read, even with the eye rolling going on and I really enjoyed how everything worked out in the end. As for the secondary characters, Colin and Alexei are my favs, especially Alexei and I cannot wait to get my hands on his book when it comes out!

I broke her heart ten years ago and left town.
She hates me, and rightly so. It doesn’t matter that the rest of the country loves me, that I’m a starting quarterback with a multimillion-dollar contract. Because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a failure who was too young—and too afraid—to fight for what I wanted.
But I’m not that guy anymore, and all I need is one shot to convince her.

He has no idea what happened after he left. And now I’m supposed to work alongside him like we don’t have this huge, messy history?
But I’m older now, wiser, and I won’t let anything stand in my way of doing a good job for this league. Not even one overpaid, arrogant player who thinks we’re going to kiss and make up.
News flash, buddy: I am over you.
