Can't Get Enough of You [Mass Market Paperback]

Bette Ford (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 29, 2010

No rebounds. . .

Jenna Gaines has her Ph.D., a great teaching job at her alma mater, everything she ever wanted in life . . . almost. Once upon a time she wanted Scott Hendricks, but the NBA called and he left her to become a hoops star. Now his career is over, and the only man Jenna ever loved is back at her school and in her life—too many years too late, as far as she's concerned.

Jenna would have given up her dreams to follow Scott, which was the last thing he wanted. All Scott can think about now is the taste of her lips and how it feels to caress her silky ebony skin, but Jenna won't give him a second chance to break her heart. She will, however, let him be her backup and support when she reconnects with her long-lost brother.

But anything could happen on their fateful trip—because Scott still has the moves . . . and the magic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Holding on Tooo Long....Hurt Not Love, August 15, 2010

This review is from: Can't Get Enough of You (Mass Market Paperback)

Jenna Marie Gaines and Scott Hendricks have it all...great careers,nice homes,financially stable and good family and friends.You'd think they would be happy but that's not the case.The college sweethearts have locked up the love they have for each other in their hearts and are basically alone and heartsick.

They try to rekindle what they had with Scott's initiation but Jenna acts like she doesn't want the same...always finding a reason why the relationship wouldn't work after 10 years.

There is a nice love story buried in the repeating of how Jenna made on her own at least every other chapter and how she was afraid Scott would hurt her again in the chapters in between.

This book was a struggle for me...due to the repeating of the things mentioned above...I felt Ms. Ford struggled writing it, causing the repeats...also feel 50-100 pages could have been eliminated or filled with what was going on with other characters,such as Sherri Ann and Laura,or even Jackson that she just threw in and discarded....JLO.

3.50 * rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!!!!, July 19, 2010

I don't know where to start, I have been waiting on this novel since "After Dark" and it is so worth the wait. I loved that Scott stood the test of time and wore down Jenna even after the big misunderstanding that Lenna(Leah)caused. I am glad that Leah redeemed herself a bit, but sister would have gotten a family beat down from me!! I was very happy to see big brother Lincoln added to the story line as well. And then to give us an update of Taylor and Donald as well as all the other related novels Ms. Ford has written was simply just undesribable. Well done Ms. Ford!!! Thanks a million!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible attempt at a fiction novel instead of a romance book, August 19, 2010

This review is from: Can't Get Enough of You (Mass Market Paperback)

I have love bette ford other books. All of them but this book disspointed me on soooo many levels. I'm not sure why its so overly dramatic or why it seems as if her writing style changed but I hated it. I felt like I was reading a horribly written fiction novel. The people were all over 30 with established carrers, in this book. I find it hard they could act as dumb an immature as they did. I swear Jenna (the heroine) was breaking or almost in tears, every other scene. It was long and drawn out and didn't make sense half the time. Why after finding her brother would she not tell him when she found her sister? And it was really like her 30 twin sister who was living with a pimp had not one lick of sense! Like she was a teenager. I'm suppose to believe someone who moved out at 18 has NO street smarts after 10 years??? Really? I really hope this isn't how her books are going to be in the future. I do recommend all her other books or books by Francis Ray, Brenda jackson or Beverly jenkins
