Loved this book!. This one I never wanted to end! Lexi Ryan, you are the best! I fell so in love with Ava and Jake! There were times I wanted to yell at Ava to wake up and smell the roses! Jake is so in love with her and she just doesn’t see it. He’s always been there for her as her best friend even though she thought she loved someone else! I loved every word of this book! It was so hard to put down but I had to at least feed my family 😁

Love it. I absolutely love it. I wish I was longer.

Okay.. Sadly, this book pales in comparison to the first book in the series, ‘The Wrong Kind Of Love ‘. I was really looking forward to thoroughly enjoying this book the way that I did the first but it kinda felt flat. There was a lot of back and forth and the main issue of the novel didn’t really feel like an issue. Where the first book had real, heart rendering and emotionally gripping life issues that created genuine obstacle in regards to their coupling, this book simply felt like two people who couldn’t make up their minds about each other. Like the only really issue was themselves. I agree with a previous review that it kind of felt like it dragged on and maybe it should have been a novella instead. My other point is that the Ava and Jake that we met in the first book seem very different from the Ava and Jake in this book. I expected Ava to be bold, no nonsense and have a sharp tongue but that wasn’t how she was at all. As for Jake, he fell short of the previously acquired bad boy, secret nerd persona as well. I guess if I hadn’t read the first book I would have like this one more, but it really feel short in comparison. I hate to leave this review because The Wrong Kind Of Love easily became one of my favorite books, but it is the truth.

My favorite. This was my favorite book of the whole series. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the whole thing but there’s something about these two!

Straight up knockout!!. Sexual tension at maximum extreme!!! Straight Up Love was a straight up knockout! I didn’t think the author could possibly manage to surpass the excellence that was The Wrong King of Love, but she did. Oh boy, did she ever! This friends-to-lovers romance puts itself in its own new category of unrequited love, unbearable longing, and unrelenting affection…this book is so sweet and savory, you won’t be able to put it down! Jake and Ava were extraordinary! Their entire relationship was a sizzling mix of desire, love, and loyalty. And the emotional push/pull dynamic of the storyline was a revolving door of unexpected challenges and situations. The dual POV story gives so much from both characters, it makes you feel as if you’re in their heads and in their hearts, feeling every single emotion running through them. And the little snippets into the lives of the extended cast of characters were the perfect teases to tide the reader over, and just enough to pique the curiosity for whose love story is next. Straight Up Love was everything I was hoping for, and more! I am completely IN LOVE with the boys of Jackson Harbor! Each book has been absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait for the next story in this to-die-for series!

Straight Up Love. I enjoyed this book, but I can always tell when an author needs to stretch the story out for the required pages. The plot wasn’t deep enough for 300 pages. Sometimes it’s best to go will a Novella.

Disappointed. I figured this book would be as good as the first but I was wrong. It dragged on and one with no true direction for the plot.

I devoured this book!. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes. And this book definitely didn’t disappoint! The chemistry between Jake and Ava is scorching, even though they both want to deny it. It finally becomes too much to hold back once, after some drunken courage, Ava asks Jake to help her have a baby. He agrees, but only if they do it the old fashioned way. Both go in thinking they can handle it without it ruining their friendship. And they end up finding out their true feelings for each other. This was a funny, steamy, page turning read!

Simply beautiful. Each story is a gift. How ms. Ryan describes the feelings of each of the protagonists in this series makes you want to believe. And oh, the brothers…

Ughh. Love Jake! All of the Jackson family is amazing! But, Ava...not so much. Strange self-confidence issues, strange daddy issues. She pushes and pushes Jake away for years! Then snap of the fingers now she’s ready? She just too darn week and wishy-washy. I did not like the plot of this book. So far fetched. Also, Molly, keep your legs together girl.

Such a beautiful, emotional, sexy and romantic story!. I really loved the first book in The Boys of Jackson Harbor Series, so I just had to read this one!! OMG! Lexi Ryan is moving up on my list of one click authors! This was such a sweet friends to lovers romance. Jake! Oh lord, Jake is such a sweet, sexy, dependable friend....how she remained JUST his friend for so long, I do not know! Except that Ava hasn’t always been treated very nice by the men in her life, her father, her ex-husband....they put her down and made her feel not enough. It was ALWAYS her friendship with Jake that got her through everything. He was always there for her. And when Ava decides she’s gonna have a baby, it’s Jake who is going to be there for her again. Why? Because Jake loves Ava. Don’t miss this one guys. It’s a beautiful story. It gets very emotional at times, but you will love it! Just look at that cover, aren’t they a gorgeous couple?! And I must say Jake is definitely perfect book boyfriend material!!

Good not great. I love this series but Ava seriously got on my nerves haha!

Lovely. Loved it

Happy sigh..... Another great love story full of heart, romance, and a little bit of suspense. I wanted to love it as much as the first book, and I almost did, but the bouncing back and forth and storylines that started but never really went anywhere made it a 4 star for me. But you can guarantee I’m still on to the next

Love. I want a man to love me as completely as the Jackson’s love their women!

You will fall in love with the boys of Jackson Harbor. Straight Up Love is the second book in The Boys of Jackson Harbor series. This book follows Jackson and Ava, best friends since they were kids. Ava has reached her 30th birthday and wants nothing more than to have a child. Who does she turn to for help? None other than her best friend Jackson. The catch, Jackson has been in love with her for years and isn't about to give up the goods without making her see that. I have to say, I liked Jackson more than Ava. She was wholly oblivious to Jackson's feelings for her, even after he expressed them in different ways at different times. Her inner dialogue swung so far back and forth in her indecision, she made it difficult to follow her logic at times. But...because there is always a but...Jackson perseveres and shows what being a true friend is really all about. In typical Lexi Ryan fashion, the book is filled with angst and a neat little twist in the end with Ava's step-sister that is going to lead in perfectly with future books. I adore these Jackson boys. Lexi Ryan is always my one-click author. I am honored when I receive an ARC from her because it is so hard to wait for the next book to come out and it makes me so happy to get it a little sooner than the rest. She's a pleasurable off the page as she is on, so maybe go find this author on FB & IG. Can't wait to see her at Book Bonanza this year so I can fangirl in person. With that said, buy the book. You won't regret it. But maybe buy book 1 if you haven't already so you can start with the first Jackson brother to find happiness and work your way through them all. This is a standalone, but deals with a series of brothers so you'll want to read them all.

Great love story. Loved it & the family bonds

I can’t get enough!. These books are amazing and cannot get my eyes out of them!

Straight Up Love. I loved this story as I’m sure I’ll love the rest of the series! This might have been my favorite because I really loved Jake(if only I could find one in real life) Love happy endings!

Amazing:). I love their story! I couldn’t put this book down! Love the jackson harbor guys and ladies!

So hot!. Loved this book and jake and Ava ! Such a good story line, but I finished to fast n have to wait for he next one in August? I hope it’s Colton’s story or should I say Molly’s? Jake and Ava’s story had many turns but such a heart felt ending. A definite must read.

Friends realise true love. Wow where do I start....we all have that one true love well we think we do when we are young but for Jake that’s always been true even after all these years he’s always been in love with his best friend Ava and although she says she doesn’t feel the same deep down she realises after asking Jake to help her have a baby just as friends that she loves him and doesn’t know what’s going to happen with their friendship.....lexi doesn’t disappoint this book pulls you in and when your finished looking for more xx

Prob skip this book. I would have skipped this one, if I’d known how annoying Ava would become. She is incredibly repetitive and whiny. I skim read a lot of this book, it got very boring in places.

Straight up love. The bones at the story were good, loveable characters. I just feel it moved quite slowly to begin with then sped up at the end

Couldn’t put it down. This book was amazing! I could not turn away
